Setup, Compatibility & Care
For a driveway application, the sub-base is as important as the stone itself. Ensure you excavate to a sufficient depth to accommodate a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, a bedding layer of sharp sand or grit, and the 50mm setts. Always ensure a slight gradient for water runoff to prevent pooling.
- Installation: It is highly recommended to lay these stones using a traditional dry-lay method with a flexible jointing compound or kiln-dried sand.
- Compatibility: They pair well with natural stone edgings or contrasting block paving for perimeter definition.
- Care: Periodically sweep the driveway to prevent debris buildup. For deeper cleaning, use a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to avoid dislodging the jointing sand, and avoid harsh chemical acid-based cleaners which can etch the sandstone surface.
