Natural Stone Driveways: Setts & Paving Slabs
Durable paving that works with water, not against it.
Natural stone driveways are built to last and add real character to the exterior of a home. The right choice of stone connects naturally with the garden, patio and façade, not as an afterthought, but as a considered part of the design. Brachot offers a wide range of setts, pavers and paving slabs in granite, sandstone, basalt, limestone and more, each with its own colour, texture and technical properties. Water management is part of the picture from the start: natural stone works well with permeable installation methods that meet local drainage requirements without sacrificing appearance. This page covers the materials, formats and practical considerations for a natural stone driveway that performs as well as it looks.

Natural stone for driveways
Driveway in Kandla Grey Setts
Kandla sandstone combines a robust surface texture with warm, natural tones ranging from grey to ochre and beige white. Brachot offers three varieties: Grey, Ochre and Beige White, available as setts in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses, as well as tiles, as tiles, crazy paving and accessories including palisades, kerbstones, steps and pool edges. Kandla is a proven material for driveways, patios and public spaces, valued for its load-bearing strength and consistent quality. Brachot sources Kandla sustainably and supports the TruStone initiative for fair sandstone production.
Driveway in Keda Mix Setts
Keda Mix is an Indian volcanic sandstone with an unusual colour mix of grey-green, blue-grey and brown. That variation in tone comes from the stone's volcanic origin and gives each project a different character depending on the batch and laying pattern. Keda Mix is available as setts in standard formats and is well suited for driveways and outdoor paving. Brachot sources Keda Mix sustainably.

Permeable paving is not just a regulatory requirement, it is a design consideration from the start. Natural stone setts and pavers are well suited to meet drainage standards, without compromising on appearance. Depending on the project, three installation methods are available: directing runoff to an infiltration basin or wadi, loose laying on a gravel substrate with open joints (minimum 10% open surface), or a fully draining installation with permeable joint mortar and bedding layer. The latter works with thinner tiles as well as thicker pavers, offers low joint maintenance and no weed growth, and installs faster than traditional methods. Natural stone's dimensional stability and frost resistance make it a reliable choice for driveways in any climate.

Concrete driveways are common, but natural stone holds up better over time and requires less intervention to stay in good condition. Where concrete tends to crack, stain and fade, natural stone hardens and develops character with age and weathering. Unlike many concrete products, it is naturally dense, which reduces maintenance and the need for sealants. Natural stone also requires significantly less energy to produce than concrete and has a longer service life, meaning less frequent replacement. For a driveway that improves rather than deteriorates over the years, natural stone is the more practical long-term choice.
