Whether your home is old or modern, natural stone block paving offers the ultimate block paving for your driveway that will last a lifetime. A beautiful rich tapestry of natural stone with its varying hues and textures ensures your driveway will look unique and add a touch of old-world charm to your property.
These cobblestones are ideal for driveway paving. The blocks are selected, quarried, hewn and finished for optimal performance. They are rugged and hardwearing and offering excellent strength and compression performance needed for vehicle traffic. Their tumbled finished edges also mean they are easier on car tyres too.
Traditional Antique Style Blocks
These cobblestones have been tumbled - a process used to soften edges and give the stone a more time-worn and weathered appearance. This results in the more rustic old world feeling these cobblestones present when laid.
Size Options
These blocks are available in two size option packs:
290 x 100 x 50-70
215 x 100 x 50-70
Natural Stone
The blocks are quarried from Indian sandstone that was laid down on prehistoric seabeds and formed into sedimentary rock deposits. Sandstone is a natural product with unique patterns, markings and colour variation found in every block. It is this natural variation that makes these cobblestones so appealing - they have their own character and charm and will lend a natural aesthetics to their environment whenever they are used.
Garden Paths
As well as driveways, these cobblestone blocks are also great for garden paths and walkways - especially where you expect a lot of foot traffic and need a durable surface.
Decorative Motifs
Cobblestones can be used for many additional paving and construction applications. This includes borders and edging where they can be used to contrast with larger flagstones and blocks. You can also create motifs and change the “flow” aesthetic, defining spaces between paving areas by breaking up other paving with cobblestones.
Installation
Cobblestone blocks should be laid on a full bed of mortar to ensure a consistent and level surface and to provide stability and strength. They should also be mortar jointed for an authentic old-world cobbled appearance.
We would also recommend using a priming slurry to provide improved bonding and adhesion and to help prevent efflorescence from the mortar bed.
Care & Maintenance
To protect your cobblestone blocks you should seal them with either a natural finish or colour enhancing sealer - these will help reduce weathering and staining from common environmental elements (water, oil, grease, UV light, organic materials).
To clean your driveway’s cobblestone blocks you should use a spray-on driveway cleaner that is specially formulated to deal with the grime and dirt commonly encountered, and that will also help prevent re-growth.
Available Colours
Cobblestone driveway blocks are available in two colour options:

Our samples can be found on the relevant product page in the list of purchasing options.
If there is no sample listed on the product page you are interested in, that means unfortunately we currently cannot offer samples for that product.

Samples are charged at £8.99 including delivery.
Please note, we aim to deliver all samples within 5-7 working days.
Colour / tone variations in natural stone
Due to the nature of the material, no two pavers are alike. Particular shades of natural stone will have a slight colour variation. Where appropriate, we will supply a leaflet that will help demonstrate this variation in colour.
Please Note - Samples are not available on Clearance Products.
Due to the limited stock/availability of clearance products, unfortunately, we cannot cannibalise them to provide samples.
Split Packs
If you need a specific amount of paving we offer mini-packs for most of our best selling products that will allow you to achieve the right coverage in most cases. However, if you don't see an available mini-pack option you can call our team during office hours to arrange for a split pack order.
To Order A Split Pack Please Call Our Sales Team
Tel: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
01993 608 824
Need a specific amount - call our team now and we can arrange splitting down a pallet so you get specifically what you need.
Pallets that are split down are not included as free delivery. Standard Split Pack Pallet Delivery Fee Applies, which is £75 (Expedited options may incur extra charges - POA). This £75 covers the extra charge of a new wooden crate / pallet, packaging, labour & haulage delivery charge.
What is a split pack?
Paving products are palletised or crated to allow them to be transported and stored efficiently. This means they are generally sold with a specific number of pieces per pallet/crate. However, customers sometimes need less than a full pallet for their project. In these cases, we can split down the pallet by hand and then re-pack, re-bind and re-hood the pallet so they receive just the paving they need, saving you money on buying a full pack and having wasted slabs left over. Please remember to include 10% extra on your measured area for cuts/corners/breakage
Split Pack Exclusions
Please note we cannot split down packs of Bekstone Walling or Clearance Products.

In doing so we have contributed to the economic success of the communities in which our stone processors work and have helped to provide a safer and more secure working environment for our supplier partners' employees. Pavestone is committed to ensuring that the working conditions of employees in our partner supply companies meet or exceed international standards and for many years we have adopted the ETI Base Code as a criteria for our supply chain.
