Natural Stone Driveways
Natural stone driveways bring a timeless look. Materials such as granite setts, sandstone and limestone are individually laid, and each stone is unique in colour and texture. Natural stone can suit period properties and conservation areas, but prices vary widely with the stone, its thickness and how it is laid.
Why Choose Natural Stone?
- Unique, natural appearance that weathers with age
- Granite setts are very hard-wearing
- Range of stone types including granite, sandstone and limestone
- Can suit period homes, conservation areas and listed buildings (check with your council first)
- Distinctive finish for the front of a property

Frequently Asked Questions
Which natural stone is best for driveways?
Granite setts are among the most hard-wearing options for driveways. Sandstone paving can look warm and traditional, but ordinary patio-grade slabs are often too thin to take the weight of cars, so ask for a driveway-grade product and how it will be laid. Some stones, such as limestone, may need sealing to resist staining. A specialist can advise which stone suits your driveway.
