Plan the border or pattern
Setts and cobbles can introduce a different scale around larger paving slabs. Measure the border length and width and check the chosen joint layout before converting that design into a pack quantity.

Buying guide
Choosing stone setts & cobbles
Check format and application
Compare the stated dimensions, edge treatment and pack units. A product sold by weight, area or piece count needs a different quantity calculation. Confirm suitability and the installation design if the area will carry vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
How many setts do I need for a border?
Use the border length, width, sett dimensions and proposed joints to calculate the requirement. Check how the chosen product is sold and ask your installer to allow for cuts and the laying pattern.
Will setts match my existing slabs?
Compare the exact material, colour and finish rather than the material name alone. Natural stone and different treatments can vary, even when products belong to the same colour family.
Are all setts suitable for driveways?
No general suitability should be assumed. Check the exact specification and have the construction designed for the expected traffic and site conditions.
