Where Traffic and Weather Win Arguments

Belgian block and granite setts were cut to survive iron-shod wheels on nineteenth-century streets. They will handle a truck in your motor court without blinking. Used as edging, they protect the pavement beside them by taking the load at the weakest point—the edge.

Common uses: driveway aprons and borders, motor courts, gutters and swales, tree surrounds, garden steps, and courtyard paving with wide raked joints.

Why projects come to us

Vehicular rated by history

Belgian block and granite setts were cut to survive iron-shod wheels on nineteenth-century streets. A truck in your motor court is not going to trouble them.

The best edge restraint there is

Used as edging they protect the pavement beside them by taking the load at its weakest point — the edge. It is the single cheapest thing you can do to make a brick driveway last.

Mixed with brick

Setts and block detail beautifully against reclaimed brick paving — borders, aprons, gutters, and tree surrounds — and both ship from the same yards on one load.

Bulk availability

This is material we hold in quantity. Driveways, motor courts, and whole courtyards are normal order sizes rather than special requests.

Questions we get asked

How deep does the base need to be for a driveway?

Vehicular work wants a concrete bed and haunch rather than a sand set — the depth depends on your soil, drainage, and the loads you expect, so it is a question for your contractor or engineer, not a number we can give you sight unseen. Pedestrian work is far more forgiving and runs on compacted screenings.

Can I use cobbles for a whole driveway?

Yes, and they will outlive the house. Be aware that a full sett driveway is a rougher ride and a bigger install cost than brick, which is why many projects use setts for the apron, borders, and motor court and brick for the field.

Do you sell by the pallet or by the ton?

Stone paving is generally sold by the square foot, with setts running roughly 5–6 per sq.ft and Belgian block covering about 3 linear feet per 10 pieces as edging. Everything ships wrapped and banded on pallets. Tell us the area and the use and we will convert it to a quantity and a freight quote.
