Answer

What is the difference between sawn and riven stone?

Sawn is smooth and contemporary; riven is textured and characterful. A look choice.

In short

Sawn stone is cut to a smooth, flat, uniform finish for a clean contemporary look. Riven stone is split along its natural layers, giving a textured, characterful surface that suits a period or rustic garden. Both wear well; it is a question of the look you want.
