FAQs

Can I use these setts for a heavy-duty commercial driveway?

These are designed for residential use. While durable, excessive industrial heavy-load traffic may exceed their intended performance specifications.

Do the colours look exactly like the photos?

As this is natural Indian sandstone, colour variation is a defining feature. Each sett has unique veining and shade, which contributes to the overall premium appearance.

Do I need to seal the stones?

Sealing is optional. A breathable, natural stone sealer can help protect against stains, but it is not strictly required for the structural integrity of the stone.

Can I cut these setts to fit my garden border?

Yes, they can be cut using an angle grinder fitted with a diamond-tipped masonry blade. Always wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection.

How do I calculate how many packs I need?

Calculate your total area in square meters and divide by 9.24. It is industry standard to order an additional 5-10% to account for cutting and wastage.

Troubleshooting

Surface stones moving or rocking

The bedding layer may be uneven or compromised. Re-lift the affected stones, re-level the bedding material, and ensure joints are tightly filled.

Weed growth between joints

Ensure the joints were filled completely with kiln-dried sand during installation. If gaps appear, top up with more sand or consider a polymeric jointing sand for better weed resistance.

Surface stains from spills

Sandstone is porous. Clean spills immediately with warm water and a mild pH-neutral detergent to prevent oils or chemicals from soaking into the stone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and hard-wearing for driveway applications
  • High-quality natural stone aesthetic
  • Split and tumbled finish adds character and grip
  • Ethically sourced materials
  • Consistent quality through hand-selection

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for load-bearing areas
  • Inherent colour variation can be significant between batches
  • Heavier to transport and move than concrete alternatives
  • Natural stone requires periodic cleaning to maintain appearance

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.
