Masonry Tools
Purchase reliable masonry tools for gardening jobs with Ovation Landscaping. For landscapers and DIYers looking to lift heavy slabs with control, we’ve got masonry supplies like the Grabo PLUS Vacuum Lifter Kit. Designed to handle dense paving and porcelain, it can lift up to 170kg (excellent for safe material handling).
If you’re setting out a straight run, keep an OX Trade Heavy Duty Chalk Line Reel 30mtr/100ft close by: complete with a high-impact cast metal body and stainless-steel hook.
Cutting outdoor-grade porcelain? You need the OX PRO 115mm Porcelain 2cm Diamond Cutting Blade 22mm Bore and OX PRO 300mm Porcelain 2cm Diamond Cutting Blade 20mm Bore: designed for accurate cuts on tough paving materials.
Our stone working tools also include everyday essentials that will make a real difference on-site. including the OX White Rubber Mallet in 16oz, 24oz and 32oz sizes. Save hours of labour with Ovation Landscaping.
Professional finishing starts with preparation
The best patios are built before the first slab is laid. The difference between an amateur landscaping job and a professional finish comes down to preparation. If you’re moving sand, cement, primer or jointing materials around the garden, use Gorilla Tubs or a Gorilla 22 Litre Flexible Red Bucket.
To support a stronger bond between the paving and bedding layer (especially for larger paving projects), you need Instarmac Ultrascape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer 20kg and ProJoint Porcelain Primer Slurry 20kg Tub.
When the slabs are down, don’t forget to use masonry tools like our Joint It Simple 20kg Paving Jointing Compound or ProJoint Fusion Neutral All Weather Jointing Compound 15kg Tub to finish the joints!
Precision cutting/laying
Our stone working tools help protect the paving you’ve invested in. To tap slabs into position and reduce the risk of scuffs, you’ll need a high-quality tool like our OX White Rubber Mallet 32oz, which offers impact-mark-free striking action.
Levelling spacers, like our Marshalltown FASTcap Black 3mm Spacer Base Straight Pack 50no are great for helping keep porcelain paving even.
But before laying your premium slabs, apply a professional bonding agent, such as the Instarmac Ultrascape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer (20kg). In the end, the right masonry tools make all the difference.
Pointing and jointing
Did you know that using the right pointing trowel can stop weeds and protect the sub-base from water ingress? You could achieve a faster, cleaner finish by pairing your stone working tools with Projoint Rapidflow Light Grey Brush In Porcelain Paving Grout. Instead of hand-pointing every gap, you just sweep the compound into the joints.
- What is the best tool for cutting 20mm porcelain or natural stone slabs?
- Do I need to use a slurry primer when laying natural stone?
Cutting dense materials requires specialist equipment.
A high-quality angle grinder fitted with a specialised diamond-rimmed blade, like the OX PRO 115mm Porcelain 2cm Diamond Cutting Blade 22mm Bore, is built to cut through 20mm porcelain, ceramic tile, and hard stone.
Standard discs will wear down quickly and risk shattering the stone, but a diamond blade guarantees a smooth, precise cut.
Natural stone can struggle to bond to a standard sand and cement mortar bed.
But a slurry primer, like our ProJoint Porcelain Primer Slurry 20kg Tub, creates a permanent adhesive bridge between the underside of the slab and the base: it acts as a high-strength glue.
