Description

Heavily Weathered Yorkstone Trough

This Heavily Weathered Yorkstone Trough brings rustic texture and weighty presence to any outdoor space. Measuring 31 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, it’s compact but substantial. Indeed, at around 150kg, it offers a solid and enduring garden feature.

Yorkstone is a tough, sedimentary sandstone quarried in Yorkshire. Known for its strength and weather resistance, it has been used for centuries in British landscaping. Furthermore, over time, it develops a rich patina that adds visual interest and depth.

Having spent decades outdoors, this Yorkstone Trough is very heavily weathered. Its rim and surfaces show long term wear, while moss and lichen cover large patches, and the edges are uneven and pitted. These signs of age are appropriate to its long outdoor life. Additionally, they give the trough real character that blends beautifully into gardens.

Despite its small size and heavy weathering, this Yorkstone trough feels grounded and strong. You can use it as a unique planter, large bird bath, or water feature base. In a wild garden, it works well filled with ferns, grasses, or shallow-rooted alpine plants. Alternatively, in a formal garden, it becomes a focal point—adding contrast and history.

Yorkstone Benefits

The Heavily Weathered Yorkstone Trough brings benefits beyond appearance. Yorkstone handles freezing temperatures, rain, and sun without cracking or splitting. Its surface improves with age, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Reclaimed garden features like this are environmentally friendly. Indeed, they reduce waste and limit the demand for new quarrying. At the same time, they add depth and interest to modern garden design.

Each Yorkstone trough, that is this weathered, is one of a kind. No two are exactly alike, thanks to years of natural wear. When you choose reclaimed pieces, you bring history into your garden.

This Yorkstone Trough suits those who want lasting quality with natural, rugged appeal. It’s practical, full of character, and made to last.
