Ketley’s landscaping collection

Ketley Bricks’ Landscaping Collection offers a wide variety of tough clay products for residential, commercial and urban landscapes. Made from the world’s oldest building product, they have a natural harmony with the environment, immense longevity, and an aesthetic that can complement and enhance any project.

Made from dense Etruria Marl, they have Class A engineering brick strength and durability, and are suitable for exposed conditions and all hard landscaping applications. Their rich Staffordshire clay colours are kiln-fired the traditional way without artificial pigments or stains, so that they do not fade over time but will last for future generations.

Patterned pavers

Ketley’s patterned pavers range from traditional Victorian-styled diamond chequered, panelled or star pavers to modern bespoke designs. Their long-established appearance complements restoration projects and adds character to contemporary landscaping, where contrasting banding can break up large surface areas. The pavers’ durable texture is practical for wet weather and heavy footfall areas.

Mayfield Park by Studio Egret West features 82,000 Ketley Staffordshire blue diamond chequered clay pavers across wide areas and narrow pathways, echoing Manchester’s industrial past.

Quarry tiles

Ketley’s quarry tiles are available in square, paver or brick formats. Their traditional 18mm thickness and natural warm colours closely match long-since discontinued Hawkins, Daniel Platt and Dennis Ruabon Quarry Tiles.

More than 280,000 Staffordshire Light Multi, Dark Multi, and Brown Brindle quarry tiles were used to restore the Barbican podium which references the earlier Hawkins tiles, renewing the area’s appearance and delivering additional slip resistance. Ketley’s quarry tiles have the highest R11C rating for slip resistance.

Linium bricks

Ketley’s new 265mm x 11mm x 82mm linium bricks add decorative detailing to traditional gardens and modern surface areas. Their low water absorption makes them ideal for patios and paving and their long thin shape creates a dramatic and elongated effect.

Designers Grant Horticulture created columnal clay sculptures for their Arts and Crafts show garden using Ketley’s ultra-thin linium bricks.

Tenger pavers

Ketley’s new Tenger pavers have a slim 200 x 50 x 65mm format reminiscent of Dutch pavers. Suitable for all domestic and commercial landscaping applications from driveways and patios to the public realm, they withstand heavy footfall and vehicular traffic. Their drag-faced texture has excellent anti-slip properties.

Garden designer Victoria Philpott used these slimline Staffordshire blue clay pavers to add a contemporary feel, while also retaining the character of this Victorian courtyard.

Planter bricks

Ketley’s planter bricks, the first to be made as Class A clay engineering bricks, combine immense durability, frost resistance and low-water absorption with a natural clay aesthetic.

At just 215mm wide, they fit neatly onto the tops of walls as a versatile way of introducing biodiversity into small garden areas, as well as larger urban spaces.

Special shaped bricks
