Grey Granite Cobble Setts
We take pride in being one of the South's leading garden paving suppliers, offering a wide range of products including Porcelain Paving, Sandstone Paving, Cobble Setts, Stone Walling, and more. Serving both retail customers and trade professionals, our selection is designed to cater to diverse landscaping needs. Among our offerings, Cobble Setts are particularly popular due to their consistent sizing and even finish, making them a versatile choice for garden projects.
Our Granite Cobble Setts are a customer favorite for their durability, style, and functionality. They feature a soft grey tone with dark grey speckles, perfectly complementing modern design trends. Grey remains one of the most sought-after colors for both interior and exterior design, making these setts a timeless and stylish option.
Both Granite and Sandstone are natural stone materials, each offering unique characteristics. Granite is known for its hard-wearing and long-lasting nature, making it ideal for areas with high foot traffic. In comparison, Sandstone is slightly softer, which gives it a more rustic charm but may require more maintenance over time. Granite's durability ensures it can withstand the elements for years, making it a practical choice for garden projects.
Our range of natural stone Cobble Setts, including Sandstone, Limestone, and Granite, is available in a variety of colors. These setts pair beautifully with our natural stone paving range and are versatile enough to be used in multiple applications. Whether you want to create a striking main feature in your garden or use them as edging around existing features, Cobble Setts offer endless design possibilities.

Granite Cobble Setts for Garden Edging
Cobble Setts, whether crafted from Porcelain or Natural Stone, are most commonly used as edging for a variety of garden features, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. For example, if you're installing Artificial Grass or Fresh Turf, edging with Granite Cobble Setts can create a clean border that separates these areas from the rest of your garden. Not only are Granite Setts lightweight and easy to handle, but their attractive design also enhances the overall look of your garden features.
Another popular application for Cobble Setts is edging garden paths. If you already have a pathway—such as one made with grey paving stones—adding Granite Cobble Setts can serve two purposes: protecting the edges of your pathway from wear and tear while also refreshing its appearance with a stylish, modern touch. These setts provide a durable and decorative solution, helping to define and elevate your garden’s overall layout.
Granite Cobble Setts as a Garden Patio
Cobble Setts are not limited to garden edging—they can also create beautifully versatile and rustic patio areas. If you’re planning a small patio project, Cobble Setts are an excellent option, especially for beginner DIY enthusiasts. Their manageable size and ease of placement make them user-friendly, allowing for a relaxed, informal installation that lends itself to a charming, rustic aesthetic.
For those who appreciate the timeless appeal of traditional design, Cobble Setts can replicate the look of an old cobbled courtyard, reminiscent of historical manor houses or quaint tea rooms. This natural and weathered appearance brings character and warmth to outdoor spaces.
Their compact size also offers versatility, enabling you to design patios in various shapes or craft unique, winding pathways through your garden. Whether you want a small, cozy seating area or a meandering walkway, Cobble Setts provide the flexibility to create custom layouts that enhance the rustic charm of your outdoor space.

How to Install Cobble Setts
As mentioned before, in comparison to installing larger paving slabs in your garden, Cobble Setts are a much easier alternative to work with due to their small size and lightweight nature. Hiring a Landscaper is always the safe option, but if you're a confident DIYer, you may be able to do this yourself.
What You'll Need
- Type 1 Limestone (or a similar Aggregate as a sub-base)
- Quality Rake
- Building Sand
- Cement
- Jointing Compound
- Rubber Mallet
Prepare the GroundChoose the area where you want to lay your Cobble Setts and dig out a depth of approximately 150mm. Remove any weeds, debris, or loose soil, ensuring the ground is dry and level before proceeding.
Create a Sub-Base
Spread an aggregate such as Type 1 Limestone evenly across the area. This layer should be at least 50mm deep and as level as possible. The sub-base provides a sturdy foundation for your Cobble Setts.
Compact the Sub-Base (Optional)
For a firmer foundation, use a wacker plate to compact the aggregate. This step helps create a completely solid and stable base, which is especially useful for high-traffic areas.
Prepare the Cement Mix
Mix cement with water and sharp sand until it reaches a slurry-like consistency. Spread the cement liberally across the aggregate layer, working in small sections to ensure it doesn't dry before the Cobble Setts are placed.
Lay the Cobble Setts
Arrange the Cobble Setts in your desired pattern, pressing them into place with a rubber mallet. Leave a gap of at least 20mm between each sett to allow space for grouting.
Grout the Cobble Setts
Once all the Cobble Setts are laid, prepare your grout mix and carefully fill the gaps between the stones. Ensure the grout is spread evenly and clean off any excess before it sets.
Allow the Grout to Set
Grout may take up to 6 hours to fully cure. If rain is expected, cover the area with tarpaulin to protect the fresh grout from washing out or becoming uneven.
By following these steps, you'll create a professional, durable, and attractive finish for your Cobble Setts!
