What Are Granite Setts?
Granite setts are small blocks of natural granite stone. They are often used for driveways, courtyards, paths and edging.
Granite is a very hard stone, which makes it well suited to areas used by cars and foot traffic. It also handles the British weather well. When installed correctly, they can create a driveway that stays strong for many years.
They are available in a range of colours and sizes. Popular colours include silver grey, dark grey and mixed grey. This gives you plenty of choice when planning the look of your driveway.

Why Choose a Granite Setts Driveway?
Granite is a popular choice for homeowners who want a driveway with strength, style and long-term value.
The main benefits include:
- Strong natural stone
- Suitable for regular vehicle use
- Smart and timeless look
- Works with modern and period homes
- Good grip due to the textured surface
- Ideal for borders, entrances and full driveways
- Long-lasting when installed well
- Helps improve kerb appeal
Granite setts can also be used with other materials. For example, they can form a border around resin, tarmac, block paving or natural stone. This helps frame the driveway and gives the whole area a more finished look.
Full Granite Setts Driveways
A full granite driveway creates a premium finish across the whole surface. Each stone is laid in place to form a strong and attractive area for cars and foot traffic.
This is a good option if your driveway is a main feature of your home. It works especially well for cottages, period homes, rural properties and homes with large entrance areas. Because granite is a natural material, each sett is slightly different. This gives the finished driveway more depth than many man-made surfaces.
Granite Setts Borders and Edging
You do not need to use granite setts across the full driveway. They are also ideal for borders, edging and feature details.
Granite edging can be used to frame the driveway, mark out parking areas, or separate the drive from lawns, paths and flower beds. It can also help protect the edge of the driveway and keep the surface looking neat.
This is a good choice if you want a high-end finish without using granite across the whole area.
Customer Feedback
Kevin and his lads laid a new driveway for us some time ago. They did an absolutely first class job and they did it when they said they would do it! After considerable use it is still in first class condition and a credit to the

Great team, fantastic finish. Very competitive pricing. First of several landscapers used who I would recommend to friends and family. Customer service and response fantastic. Workmanship even better. Made up with my new safe back garden, raised patio and new fencing. Thanks so much Kevin and team.

How We Install Granite Setts Driveways
A strong driveway starts with the right base. This is why ground preparation is so important. If the base is weak, the surface may move, dip or become uneven over time.
Our driveway work can include:
- Removing the old surface
- Preparing and levelling the ground
- Installing a solid sub-base
- Setting out the shape and design
- Laying the granite
- Jointing the surface
- Finishing the edges
We take care at every stage. This helps make sure your new driveway looks good and performs well for years.
Are Granite Setts Right for Your Home?
They are a good choice if you want a driveway that feels strong, neat and high quality. They suit homes where the driveway is a key part of the entrance.
They are also a useful option for busy areas, turning spaces, borders and entrance aprons. If you want the lowest-cost driveway, another surface may be better. But if you want a long-lasting finish with natural style, granite is a great choice.
