Cropped Setts Granite setts or "cobbles" as they are sometimes referred to, have been around since Roman times. Almost indestructible, setts can be purely functional as a hard wearing-course for roads and pathways but, by utilising the range of colours and sizes now available to a designer, they can be used for aesthetic reasons as well, providing lovely and varied textures. Most standard sett dimensions are available from stock. Any other requirements made to order can normally be supplied to any specification within 8-10 weeks and often less.
