We help you choose the right stone size, color, and layout—whether you’re after a traditional European look, a rustic cottage feel, or a clean, grid-style pattern. Our layouts are tailored to suit your architecture and landscape.
Proper grading and a deep, compacted base are essential for a cobblestone surface that won’t shift or settle. We install geotextile fabric, granular base, and edge restraints to lock everything in place.
Each cobblestone is set by hand for tight joints, clean lines, and optimal surface integrity. We use bedding sand or mortar depending on the application, ensuring a finish that’s both beautiful and durable.
Add striking details with soldier course borders, decorative inlays, or accent strips. We also restore or relevel old cobblestone work to bring life back to historic surfaces without full replacement.

Cobblestone installation involves laying natural or cut stone—typically granite or basalt—in a structured pattern over a compacted base. The result is a hardscape surface with unmatched durability and classic appeal. Cobblestones resist wear, weather, and traffic better than most materials, making them ideal for driveways, walkways, patios, and accents. The irregular texture offers visual character while supporting vehicle and foot traffic with minimal maintenance. Installation requires careful grading, leveling, jointing, and compaction to ensure a long-lasting finish.
Cobblestone installation is a specialized craft. Ask your contractor if they hand-set stones, what kind of base they use, and whether they work with natural or manufactured stone. True cobblestone work is labor-intensive and should not be confused with concrete pavers made to mimic the look. Be sure to ask about slope, drainage, joint stability, and maintenance recommendations.
While interlock offers a wide range of modern styles, cobblestone delivers unmatched longevity and old-world elegance. Cobblestone rarely cracks, shifts less over time, and can be relaid or restored if needed. It’s an ideal choice for heritage homes, luxury properties, and homeowners looking for timeless design that will patina gracefully.
