  Most likely to be Raj Green from the looks of it, at a guess the size series is 560x it looks like from the patern.

  Be very careful with the age of the patio on the color matching - Raj Green now is much more redish in colour than the stone that was imported 7-8 or more years ago - which tended to have a greyer-green tint to it. You may have to get your supplier to break packs and let you choose more matching stones.

  I would concur with David that it is Raj Green. You have got very little chance of matching the colour and the stone on the photo looks quite weathered as well so expect the new stone to be very different in texture also. The key here is to manage the clients expectations so they understand that getting a match will be impossible

  'Manage the clients expectations' - what a great expression and so apt when dealing in all aspects of Landscaping, where natural products of all kinds prevail.

  I think it might be the lesser know 'slime green' sandstone :) Just bung down some fossil mint and it will be just as dirty within 6 months.

  I'm joking, just in case that wasn't clear..

  You can always lift a few of the current pavers and replace them with the new ones, then use the old ones in the new area.Just a few each way will break up the divide, and you should lift some edge ones and replace with crossers anyway.

  Thanks for all the posts will now just have to find a supplier who would be willing to help out!! Will be speaking to the customer about her expectations and a little educating i expect.
