The Royal Horticultural Society has announced a major new collaboration in products for outdoor living, a key category for a brand with a strong lifestyle and gardening focus. Ca’ Pietra, a leading expert in the world of stone, tiles, and hard landscaping, is now the RHS licensee for natural stone and porcelain tiles suitable for external use.

This endorsement specifically applies to Ca’ Pietra’s comprehensive range of natural stone and porcelain paving, which has been carefully developed to meet the aesthetic requirements of outdoor spaces, from private gardens and courtyards to commercial landscaping projects. It is, of course, also designed to meet the practical demands of the British climate, while offering designers, landscapers and homeowners a wide choice of materials, formats and finishes.

The endorsed paving collection includes a mix of traditional and contemporary finishes, from reclaimed-look British sandstone and tumbled limestone to low-maintenance porcelain with natural stone detailing. New additions to the Ca’ Pietra offering for 2025 include Castilan Klinkers, a soft-toned limestone with subtle fossil markings, and Komodo, a slate-effect porcelain ideal for poolside and terrace schemes.

The RHS collection is now available at Ca’ Pietra’s dedicated showrooms in Devizes in Wiltshire, Chelsea in London, and Hartley Wintney in Hampshire, along with a large number of Ca’ Pietra partner retailers across the UK. The RHS endorsement will be highlighted in marketing, brochures, newsletters and PoS material.

Although Ca' Pietra is a highly appropriate and evocative Italian term meaning ‘house of stone’, this is a proudly British, family-owned company, with a legacy spanning more than 35 years, boasting a team of designers, makers and curators redefining the art of surface design.

The company combines time-honoured techniques with boundless creativity, sourcing the finest materials from around the world to craft collections and bespoke creations that combine timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Its team members also pride themselves on being approachable experts, offering practical advice and creative inspiration to homeowners, designers, and landscapers alike. 

Hamish Smith, Creative Director at Ca’ Pietra at Ca’ Pietra, says: “This endorsement represents a shared belief in the value of well-designed outdoor spaces, and the materials that help shape them. Our paving is not only built to withstand seasonal weathering and everyday use, but also to complement and elevate a wide range of landscape settings.”

Cathy Snow, RHS Licensing Manager, adds: “Ca’ Pietra prides itself on a passion for colour, pattern and texture that inspires its customers to create joyful, transformative designs – and has applied this passion brilliantly to a collection that is highly relevant to the core RHS focus of gardens and outdoor living. This is a perfect collaboration based on our shared belief that great outdoor spaces deserve materials that are thoughtfully chosen, expertly made and designed to stand the test of time.”
