Cobblestone refers to naturally rounded stones, typically sourced from riverbeds or fields, traditionally used for paving. Setts (also called Belgian blocks) are often confused with cobblestone, but are distinct: setts are quarried and shaped into a regular form, while cobblestones are naturally occurring rounded stones, less uniform in size.
Very. The lifetime of granite cobblestone products often lasts many decades, and sometimes even hundreds of years, withstanding significantly more wear and tear than equivalent concrete products.
The textured surface of cobblestone enhances grip, making it anti-slip and useful for walkways especially during rainy and snowy seasons. Flamed or rough-faced finishes offer the highest slip resistance.
Cobblestone requires little to no maintenance. The only issues you may encounter are an occasional blade of grass, or a stone that may need to be reset if it sinks or raises, both easily remedied.
