Bardenas natural stone flagstone: the landscape of the Ribera, in your garden
The Ribera de Navarra is a land of contrasts: vegetable gardens beside the Ebro, the cierzo wind sweeping across the plain and, in the distance, the Bardenas Reales, a desert of clay and sandstone sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years. From that land, from a quarry in our area, comes Bardenas flagstone: irregular slabs of natural stone, each with its own outline, veining and texture.
It is used to make paths that wind through the lawn, terraces with a village-house feel and walls that look as if they have always been there. No two pieces are alike, and that is why no two projects are alike.
🎨 Three tones of the Ribera
Tierra: warm, light brown, the color of the Ribera fields in summer.
Gris Cierzo: sober, elegant gray, like the sky when the cierzo wind blows.
Mix Ribera: a mix of brown and gray pieces, for a more natural result with more movement.
✨ Why choose Bardenas flagstone
Natural and authentic: quarry stone, with no treatments or imitations. It ages well and gains character over the years.
Natural surface with grip: its rough face helps you walk safely outdoors.
Versatile: suitable for floors, paths and for cladding walls and facades.
Local: stone extracted in the Ribera de Navarra, without traveling thousands of kilometers.
🏡 Where to use it
Garden paths and walkways.
Terraces, patios, porches and entrances.
Pool surrounds and outdoor seating areas.
Cladding for walls, facades, plinths and planters.
🛠️ How to lay it
On sand or gravel (garden paths): dig 10-15 cm, compact the ground, spread a layer of gravel and then a 3-5 cm layer of sand, and set each slab by tapping it with a rubber mallet. Fill the joints with sand or fine gravel, or let the grass grow between the pieces.
With mortar (terraces and walkways): on a concrete slab with a 1-2% slope to drain water, lay each piece on a bed of mortar, level it and fill the joints with mortar or grout.
On walls and facades: clean and dampen the surface, use cement-based adhesive for natural stone suitable for exteriors, and start from the bottom.
Tip: before fixing, lay the pieces out dry like a puzzle; combine large and small ones and mix pieces from different layers of the pallet.
📏 Thickness
The nominal thickness of the flagstone is 2-3 cm. Since it is hand-gathered natural stone, in practice each piece can range from 1 to 4 cm. This is normal for this material: take it into account when preparing the base and leveling.
⚠️ Pallet coverage
The 25 m² per pallet are calculated for standard laying with 4 to 5 cm joints between pieces. If you plan to lay the stone with very narrow joints or no joints, it will cover less: order 15 to 20% more surface area so you don't fall short.
🚚 Delivery
Sold only by the full pallet. Unloading is done by truck with a tail lift at street level, at the curb line: make sure you have a firm, flat access area. Read the delivery conditions before placing your order.
🪨 Natural stone: every pallet is unique. Size, shape, thickness and tone vary from piece to piece and compared with the photos, which are for guidance only. Mix pieces from different layers of the pallet when laying to distribute colors and shapes. It is the hallmark of an authentic material, not a defect.

¿Se vende por m² o en cantidades pequeñas?
No, solo se vende por palet completo.
¿Qué medidas tienen las piezas?
Al ser piedra natural, las piezas no tienen una medida fija: varían en tamaño, forma y grosor. Las fotos dan una buena idea del formato. Si necesitas más información, escríbenos.
¿Cómo se coloca?
Sobre una cama de arena y grava compactada para caminos de jardín, o con mortero sobre solera de hormigón para terrazas y zonas de paso. En la descripción tienes los pasos detallados.
