Hello

I'm new here!  I'm trying to find out what this pathway stone (the wide concrete sleeper style).  I've searched high and low online and cannot find it anywhere!  I would like to use in my garden....
This photo is from the Newt in Somerset - if you are familar with it you will know no expense is spared so it's very likely its out of my price range, or possible they commission it to be made just for them!  But in case anyone has a clue....they are triples in one block, of course attached at each end which you can just about make out from the photo -  presumably orginally empty and then get filled with the grit onsite?  They use them across the estate and on quite steep paths too.....
Thanks in advance for any help!

    You could just use concrete kerb edging https://www.jewson.co.uk/p/marshalls-kerb-bullnosed-straight-914-x-125mm-grey-FKERB309

    If I were you I’d change my forum name.

    Anybody can look up linahouseprojects and see it listed in companies house as a private limited company dealing with building projects and with your own name and address showing. 

    Unless you really do want the world to know your real name and private business (quite literally) I would ask for it to be changed by the moderators.

    Possibly concrete lintels? That would be a 'cost effective' way of getting this look though. Although using timber (e.g. 75x75mm posts) would be cheaper still

    They might have had them specially made. Probably the design was chosen partly for health & safety reasons, to be more grippy than the bricks/block pavers on slopes.
    Edit: you could contact The Newt and ask (contact details are on their website). The worst they could do is not bother replying, and you might get the information you want.

    Surely the most straightforward way of finding out the answer to your query @linahouseprojects95710 would be to contact The Newt Estate Office and ask them? 
    Their contact details are on their website.
