Description
The Cobblestone Finish
Cobblestone paving has a long history and is known for its rustic charm. The process involves arranging and tightly fitting individual cobblestones together to form a pattern or mosaic-like surface. The stones are usually set on a compacted base of sand or gravel, and the gaps between the stones are filled with additional sand or mortar to stabilize the paving and create a level surface. Cobblestone is highly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic or vehicular loads.
Cobblestone has excellent drainage properties. The gaps between the stones allow water to flow through, reducing the risk of standing water and improving overall drainage. This makes cobblestone paving a popular choice for areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding.
From a design perspective, cobblestone paving offers versatility and flexibility. The stones can be arranged in various patterns, such as herringbone, basket weave, or random layouts, allowing for creative and unique designs that complement the surrounding architecture or landscape.
