Cobblestone pavers are popular for driveways, walkways, and patios. They’re small blocks similar to bricks, but they're made of natural stone and can be cemented together with mortar or set in a dry paver base. Here are a few reasons to choose them for your home's outdoor spaces.

Why Use Cobblestones for Your Home's Hardscapes?

1. Durable

Stone is naturally resistant to the weather. It takes decades for water to damage the surface, and the sun can’t bleach out the color. Cobblestone pavers are hard, so they’ll stand up to being walked or driven on. Since a hardscape constructed with pavers is made up of many pieces rather than one solid slab like concrete, the surface is flexible and difficult to crack.

2. Attractive

Cobblestone pavers come in all the colors of natural stone, including white, gray, black, brown, tan, and earthy shades of red, yellow, and green. This variety means there’s an option to fit every home, and you can even mix and match colors to create designs. 

The pavers can also be laid in rings and curves, not just a straight grid, giving them even more aesthetic potential. The natural character of the stone and the three-dimensional depth created by the individual blocks and the spaces between them add visual interest to the property feature.

3. Easy to Repair

Since cobblestone paving is made up of many individual pieces, it’s easy to replace one that’s damaged. If a stone cracks or a section of mortar crumbles, just remove the affected part and place a new one. Your hardscape will look like new again with minimal effort and expense.
