What Is Cobble Paving?
Cobble Types & Manufacturing
We work with leading local suppliers to provide a wide range of cobble options:
- Wet-cast concrete cobbles are affordable, versatile, and durable.
- Cast stone cobbles Premium, textured, and elegant.
- Natural stone cobbles, Granite, sandstone, or river stone for authentic character.
Trusted suppliers include Continental Cobbles and Revelstone, well-known across Cape Town for their high-quality products.
Cobble vs Brick vs Exposed Aggregate
- Cobbles – Deep texture, rustic character, flexible designs, long-lasting.
- Brick paving – Clean, uniform, cost-effective, but less textured.
- Exposed aggregate – Smooth base with visible stone chips, modern finish.
Each has its place, but cobble paving excels in design-driven projects where strength and visual appeal matter most.
Finishes, Textures & Colour Options
Choose a look that complements your home or business:
- Finishes: smooth top, split-face, tumbled, or aged.
- Colours: charcoal, rust, greys, earth tones, or custom blends.
Benefits of Cobble Paving
Durability & Load-bearing Strength
Properly installed cobbles, on a solid base and with proper edge restraints, can withstand vehicular loads and heavy foot traffic for decades.
Slip Resistance & Weather Resilience
Cobble surfaces naturally offer grip due to texture, making them safer in the rain. They also tolerate Cape Town’s UV, salt, and temperature swings better than smooth surfaces.
Aesthetic & Value Enhancement
Cobble paving has heritage and luxury appeal. It enhances property character, especially in historic or upscale neighbourhoods such as Clifton, Sea Point, or Constantia.
Low Maintenance & Longevity
Sweep, rinse, repair loose units; no need to resurface entire areas. Cobble paving is a cost-effective long-term investment with minimal fuss.
