What is the coverage of one project pack?

Is this product suitable for very heavy traffic?

While durable for residential driveways, it's best suited for standard vehicle traffic. For exceptionally heavy loads, consulting with a paving specialist is recommended.

How do I clean the cobbles?

Clean with a stiff brush and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Check the sub-base for adequate compaction and levelness. Ensure cobbles were laid on a consistent bed of sand or mortar if applicable.

Weeds growing through joints

Ensure the jointing compound was applied correctly and fully filled the gaps. Reapply jointing compound if necessary, following product instructions.

Cobbles seem loose or are moving

Verify that the sub-base is stable and that the jointing compound has fully cured. Edge restraints might be needed if the perimeter is not secure.

Color variation appears significant

Mix cobbles from different packs when laying to achieve a more uniform blend, as some natural variation is inherent in concrete products.

Pros and Cons

Significantly faster and simpler to install than natural stone alternatives.
Includes jointing compound to help prevent weeds, reducing ongoing maintenance.
Durable engineered concrete construction ensures longevity.

Cons

Fixed pack coverage of 10.93m² may lead to over or under-purchasing for specific areas.

Color variation can occur between batches, making it important to mix packs if installed over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure a well-prepared and compacted sub-base, following standard driveway installation guidelines.
