Professional Installation Guidelines
To ensure long-term stability and prevent sinkage under heavy vehicle or foot traffic, lay these 50mm natural granite setts on a full continuous wet mortar bed (typically 4:1 sharp sand to cement) over a thoroughly compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base. Do not spot-bed or lay directly on sand. Coat the underside of the cobbles with a bonding slurry primer for maximum adhesion to the mortar bed, and point joints using a suitable outdoor jointing compound or mortar mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Silver Grey Granite Natural Cobbles used for?
They are ideal for traditional cobble driveways, high-traffic pathways, patio edging borders, and garden features. Their 50mm thickness provides high load-bearing capability while keeping lawn turf, soil, or gravel neatly contained.
What makes natural split granite cobbles different from sawn cobbles?
Natural split cobbles feature authentic hand-cropped edges and a textured, hand-cleft surface. Unlike sawn cobbles which have straight machine-cut lines, natural split setts deliver a rugged, rustic stone appearance with organic variance.
Are 50mm natural granite cobbles frost-resistant?
Yes. Natural granite is an exceptionally dense igneous rock with near-zero porosity, making these 50mm setts completely immune to freeze-thaw damage, cracking, or surface spalling in harsh winters.
Do natural granite cobbles require sealing?
Sealing is optional due to granite's high natural density, but applying a breathable stone sealer is recommended to keep oil, sap, and moss from adhering to the textured natural surface over time.
How do you clean natural split granite setts?
Cleaning is quick and straightforward. Routine sweeping and an occasional wash with soapy water or a pressure washer will easily remove dirt buildup and bring out the natural silver sparkle of the granite.
