Why Choose Cobbles & Setts Over Other Driveway Materials?

The real question is what makes these stones a better fit for you than block pavers or other materials? The main reason to opt for cobblestones will be an aesthetic one. With the modern engineering involved in their construction, they are just as durable and hardwearing as their more modern-styled paving counterparts.

Here’s what makes cobbles and setts a great choice for driveways.

Low maintenance – All that is needed to keep cobbles and setts in good condition is regular sweeping and the occasional replacement of damaged stones. Much more convenient than the costly and time-consuming maintenance needed for materials like asphalt or concrete.

Timeless style – What can we say? There is no more authentic and vintage-looking material for a driveway. For that touch of elegance and classic style, there is no better choice. Gives your driveway a unique and charming quality adding character and a sense of history to your property.

Non-slip surface – Setts and cobbles have a much rougher and more textured surface than other options. This reduces the risk of skidding and slipping, enhancing safety for your family and the vehicles that will use the driveway.

What’s the Difference Between Setts and Cobblestones?

You have decided to go for a more vintage look to your driveway, a great choice, but within this, there are other options to consider. The difference between setts and cobblestones is subtle but it will help to determine the overall aesthetic look of your driveway.

Here are the main differences between the two:

Setts

• Square or rectangular quarried stone
• Cropped into sizes ranging from 100mm to 300mm
• Laid in regular, uniform patterns
• Smoother and flatter surface

Cobbles

• Most vintage style
• Rounded, lumpy stones
• More irregular, random pattern
• Rougher surface

For that authentic, historic look, cobbles and setts are a fantastic choice. You could even use them to create a rustic pathway on your property and further compliment the classic feel to the outdoor area of your property.
