An Italian limestone picture to stop your whingeing!
Sandstone has its plus side, properly laid on a continuous bed of mortar it is fairly robust, it is cheaper than decent slabs (which people won't pay for) and it is a nice little earner!
@inchpincher, I like nice things as much as the next man and completely understand the pleasure of owning them, I just doubt that Japanese secateurs offer any advantage.

.....and just to make you explode in impotent rage (the decking conceals a 6' drop, which is why it's there).

Those raised floors come second only to Indian sandstone in my ‘Most Hated Landscaping Materials’ list. Breaks as soon as you look at it, wear grooves in the surface just sweeping with a broom, as slippery as old decking in the wet and impossible to clean. Convinced rich folk spec it just to make the lives of anyone working on the property difficult.
If you combined the two I’d prob just refuse to work on your garden!
