Bluestone by KHD

Bluestone has been used extensively in Australia, especially in the city of Melbourne, since the early 1800's. Bluestone is growing again in popularity and is being used in a wide range of projects in outdoor urban areas in cities to highly polished flooring in modern homes.

One of the main advantages of using bluestone is its strength and durability, which means that projects will have excellent wear and tear for many years to come.

High-quality bluestone can be used in so many different ways. Its dark colour makes it ideal for heavy-traffic areas, and its strength means that it is the builder’s choice for structural work.

Bluestone is a very versatile stone, and can be finished in a number of ways to suit the needs of your project – honed, flamed or polished.

Bluestone is a local name given to basalt. Basalt is the result of volcanic lava flows and the common colouring is dark grey to black.

KHD Landscape Engineering Solutions sources its bluestone exclusively from a quarry in Port Fairy, Victoria. The manufacturing site has a strict environmental policy, is investing in local wind-power initiatives and has a strong emphasis on staff training.
