Frequently Asked Questions About Cobblestones
Are cobblestones suitable for driveways in the UK?
Yes, natural stone cobble setts (such as granite and dense sandstone) are ideal for driveways. Their dense structure and deep bed depth provide excellent load-bearing capacity for vehicles while offering a slip-resistant surface.
What is the difference between cobblestones and setts?
Historically, cobblestones referred to naturally rounded, water-worn stones. Today, the terms are often used interchangeably to describe quarry-cut, rectangular or square stone paving blocks (setts) used for driveways, borders, and paths.
Do natural stone cobblestones require sealing?
Natural stone cobblestones benefit from applying a breathable sealer after laying to help repel oil, vehicle fluid spills, and organic algae stains. Porcelain cobblestones are non-porous and do not require sealing.
Can cobblestones be used as garden edging?
Yes, cobble setts are widely used as borders and edging alongside lawn areas, flower beds, and paved patios to create clean lines and prevent turf migration.
