Cobbles, Setts and Edging Stones for Gardens & Driveways

Cobbles, setts and edging stones are a versatile way to strengthen and define outdoor spaces. They’re commonly used to edge patios, frame pathways, support block paving and create durable driveway surfaces that can handle regular foot traffic and vehicle use. Natural stone options such as sandstone, limestone and granite offer texture and variation for a more traditional look, while porcelain setts give a clean, modern finish with excellent durability and low maintenance.

Edging planks help keep paving secure, prevent spreading over time and give borders a clear, tidy line. Setts can also be used for creating curves, detailing around features or forming small raised areas with more grip. With a wide choice of colours, finishes and sizes available, these products make it easy to create strong, long-lasting edges that match the rest of your landscaping.

FAQs

What's the difference between cobbles, setts and edging planks?

Cobble setts are small, individual stone or porcelain blocks used for laying surfaces like driveways, paths or decorative borders. They come in 100x100mm or 200x100mm. Edging planks are longer pieces designed to create a neat border along paving or pathways - they come in either 900x200mm or 1000x160mm, depending on the range.

Can cobble setts be used on driveways?

Yes. Both natural stone and porcelain cobble setts are hard-wearing enough for driveways and can handle regular vehicle traffic when laid on a proper sub-base with the right jointing. Granite cobble setts are particularly popular for driveways because of their strength.

Natural stone or porcelain - which should I go for?

Natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite) has more texture and colour variation, which suits traditional or rustic projects. Porcelain setts are more uniform in colour, very low-maintenance, stain-resistant and frost-proof - so they tend to work well in modern settings or areas that see a lot of use.

How many cobble setts will I need?

It depends on the size of sett and the area you're covering. As a rough guide, you'll need around 100 of the 100x100mm setts per square metre, or about 50 of the 200x100mm setts per square metre. We'd always suggest ordering an extra 10–15% to allow for cuts and waste.

How do I lay cobbles or setts?

In short: prepare a compacted hardcore base, lay a mortar bed, place each cobble and tap it level with a rubber mallet, then fill the joints with a jointing compound or sand-cement mix. For the full walkthrough, have a look at our how to lay cobbles step-by-step guide.

Do I need to seal cobble setts or edging planks?

Porcelain doesn't need sealing. Natural stone can be sealed with an external stone sealer to bring out the colour and help protect against staining, but it isn't essential - it's more of a preference.
