At Terrain Collective, we believe great landscapes begin with exceptional materials. When selecting products for our collection, we look beyond colour palettes and finishes. We consider longevity, craftsmanship, sustainability, and the ability of a material to age gracefully over time. It's why we partnered with Allgreen, a British manufacturer known for producing premium natural stone products that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary landscape design.
MORE THAN A PAVER.
At first glance, Stackers appear simple—a narrow-format natural stone paver. In reality, they offer a level of versatility that few paving products can match. Their slim proportions allow designers to create everything from traditional herringbone layouts to contemporary linear patterns, while their precision-cut format delivers clean, consistent joints throughout a project. Originally developed for paving, Stackers are equally suited to edging, terraces, inlays, feature walls, fireplaces, planters, and bespoke architectural details. Rather than being limited to one application, they become a true design tool.
WHY CHOOSE NATURAL STONE?
Natural stone has been used as a building material for thousands of years—and for good reason. Unlike many manufactured paving products, stone doesn't simply resist time; it responds to it. The surface develops character through use, creating a landscape that feels increasingly authentic as it matures. Many of the world's oldest streets, public squares, and buildings were built using natural stone. Today, they continue to perform while telling the story of the places they've shaped.
A SMARTER USE OF NATURAL MATERIALS.
One of the reasons we were drawn to Allgreen is the story behind Stackers. Rather than allowing premium stone offcuts from larger paving production to become waste, Allgreen developed Stackers as a way to repurpose these materials into a highly versatile architectural product. This approach reduces waste while creating entirely new design opportunities for architects and landscape designers. It's an example of sustainability driven by thoughtful design rather than compromise.
BRITISH CRAFTSMANSHIP, NATURAL STONE.
Allgreen sources high-quality natural stone from carefully selected quarries, including Egyptian limestone, before precision processing each piece using British engineering and manufacturing techniques. The result is a product that combines the authenticity of natural stone with the dimensional accuracy required for modern landscape construction. Every piece retains the unique fossils, veining, and tonal variation found only in natural stone, meaning no two installations are exactly alike.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES:
The Versatility of Allgreen Stackers
One of the defining characteristics of Allgreen Stackers is their exceptional design flexibility.
Every Stacker is engineered with two distinct usable faces, allowing designers and contractors to achieve two very different aesthetics from a single stone.
The glass-etched face offers a muted, refined appearance with a smooth, classic finish—ideal for projects where clean lines and understated elegance are the priority.
Flip the stone over, and the acid-washed face reveals a richer, more textured surface with enhanced mineral character. The result is a finish full of depth and visual interest, perfectly suited to spaces that call for a more natural, expressive aesthetic.
This dual-face design gives architects, landscape designers, and contractors the freedom to tailor the material to the mood of each project without sourcing multiple products. Whether paired with large-format paving, architectural concrete, corten steel, timber, or planting, Stackers introduce rhythm, texture, and detail while remaining remarkably versatile.
From contemporary residences to heritage restorations, their applications extend far beyond traditional paving—making them one of the most adaptable natural stone products available.
WHY TERRAIN COLLECTIVE?
We created Terrain Collective to offer materials we genuinely believe in—products selected for their quality, longevity, and design potential rather than simply following market trends.
Allgreen Stackers embody everything we value in a landscape material: exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful sustainability, and unrivalled design versatility.
With stock available in Seattle, architects, landscape designers, contractors, and homeowners across the Pacific Northwest have direct access to one of the most distinctive natural stone collections available today.
If you're planning your next project, we'd be happy to help you explore the collection, provide samples, and discuss the right materials for your design.
