Cobblestones and setts are small, durable paving stones that have been used for streets, courtyards and driveways for centuries.
Cobbles and setts
The terms are often used loosely. Setts are generally cut into regular rectangular blocks, while cobbles are more rounded. Both are available in granite and other hard stones, in a range of sizes and finishes.
Laying matters as much as the stone
Durable paving depends on a well-compacted base, suitable bedding and joints. Patterns such as fans, circles and bands are laid by hand, which also affects labour and timeline.
What to specify
- Size range and thickness
- Natural split, sawn or tumbled surface
- Colour tone and allowed variation
- Packing in bags, crates or pallets
