At BV Natural Stones, we believe every outdoor space has the potential to become a sanctuary of beauty, comfort, and timeless design. Landscaping is more than just planting trees and flowers—it’s about creating harmony between nature and architecture. And one material that has stood the test of time in delivering both elegance and durability is Mazeras stone.
Our latest project in Machakos County, Kenya, is an excellent showcase of how Mazeras landscaping can transform residential compounds into stunning, functional, and long-lasting spaces. By combining 1-inch mazeras and cut mazeras, we achieved a design that balances natural beauty with modern refinement.
This article explores how Mazeras was used in this project, why it remains a top choice for homeowners and property developers, and how you too can use it to elevate your outdoor and indoor spaces.
What Makes Mazeras Stone Special?
Mazeras Stone is a type of natural sandstone sourced in Kenya. For decades, it has been used in homes, hotels, and commercial properties because of its unmatched aesthetic appeal and strength.
Key Benefits of Mazeras:
- Natural beauty – Each stone has unique patterns, veins, and tones, adding character to every project.
- Durability – Resistant to weathering, Mazeras performs well under both hot sun and heavy rains.
- Versatility – Suitable for wall cladding, flooring, landscaping, pathways, poolsides, and decorative features.
- Low maintenance – Unlike artificial tiles or paints that fade and peel, Mazeras maintains its charm with minimal upkeep.
- Eco-friendly – As a natural stone, it blends seamlessly with the environment.
The Machakos Project: A Perfect Blend of 1-Inch and Cut Mazeras
For this project, our team at BV Natural Stones worked with the client to create a unique, nature-inspired landscape around their home in Machakos County. Here’s how we used different types of Mazeras:
1. 1-Inch Mazeras for Boundary Walls and Edges
The 1-inch mazeras were ideal for creating clean and elegant wall finishes. Their slim thickness provided a smooth surface while retaining the natural texture of stone. We applied them to the garden walls, adding both strength and aesthetic appeal.
2. Cut Mazeras for Pathways and Decorative Sections
The cut mazeras, shaped into neat, rectangular pieces, were used in pathways, staircases, and decorative wall sections. This created contrast against the natural 1-inch mazeras stones, resulting in a polished look while still maintaining a rustic charm.
The combination of the two types of Mazeras gave the compound structure, uniformity, and sophistication.

Whether you live in Nairobi, Machakos, Kiambu, Mombasa, or Kisumu, Mazeras stone adapts perfectly to Kenya’s diverse environments.

3. Weather Resistant
