What Type of Stone Cobbles Should You Use?

When enhancing your outdoor space, you want to select the stone type that best suits your garden’s aesthetic and practical needs. To help you choose, we’ve summarised our core materials below:

  • Sandstone Cobbles: Sandstone cobbles are a sought-after choice among designers and homeowners alike for their distinctive natural charm. Each piece is unique, showcasing a variety of earthy tones from warm browns to vibrant reds, offering endless design possibilities. These cobbles are also known for their hard-wearing nature and anti-slip properties, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like driveways and patios.

  • Limestone Cobbles: Limestone cobbles are synonymous with elegance and sophistication. They offer a smoother finish compared to their sandstone counterparts, and their subtle colour palette makes them an excellent choice for modern and minimalist designs. Beyond their visual appeal, limestone boasts incredible durability, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions to ensure your space maintains its allure year-round.

  • Granite Cobbles: Granite cobbles, often referred to as Belgium Blocks, are renowned for their robustness and timeless appeal. Because of their exceptional durability, they’re a preferred choice for high-use driveways, gardens, patios, and walkways.

How to Lay Cobblestone Setts

Create a natural stone cobble driveway or terrace with our tips:

  1. Mark out the area to be cobbled with spray paint.
  2. Check the area is level, fixing raised or uneven patches with a rake.
  3. Firm up the ground with a plate compactor.
  4. Add your MOT type 1 sub-base material.
  5. Compact the first layer of your sub-base material with your plate compactor, ensuring it is around 75mm deep.
  6. Repeat with the second layer.
  7. Mix your mortar and apply thickly over your sub-base.
  8. Add your cobbles, leaving gaps between them of 8-15mm.
  9. Tap your natural stone cobble setts into place with a rubber mallet.
  10. Place your jointing solution between the setts and compress with a pointing tool.
  11. Leave the cobbled area to set for a day.
