When it comes to outdoor tiles, there are few options more rugged and characterful than natural stone cobbles. Our expertly sourced range includes both limestone and marble, both of which can be used for terraces, pathways, driveways (in 50mm thickness) and more. Hardwearing and practical, stone cobbles are also a great way to add texture to both modern and traditional gardens or courtyards. Their subtly distressed edges can help to bring softness to architectural outdoor spaces, balancing out contemporary landscaping materials and planting. Cobbles also sit harmoniously alongside a classic flagstone tile, whether that’s adjacent to a patio or transitioning to an internal natural stone floor.
Whether you’re in search of a cool or warm-toned stone, our selection of limestone cobbles will deliver. Our Dijon Blend design has a biscuit-beige base colour, broken up by delicate veining and subtle tonal variation. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Ballanstone cobble comes in dark charcoal colour and is mottled with unusual snakeskin-like markings. If an outdoor marble tile feels like the perfect fit for your garden, then consider the Bluestone Tumbled Marble Cobble, which – as the name suggests – has a beautiful bluish-grey hue that pairs beautifully with both soft and vibrant planting schemes.
As with all natural stone outdoor tiles, sealing and maintaining cobbles really comes down to personal preference. However, it is worth considering where the product will be installed and the colour of the stone. For example, pale limestone cobbles will be subject to more discolouration than a darker material, which can be left to weather over time. And if your patio is partially covered, your outdoor floor may receive less exposure to fallen leaves and debris than if it’s surrounded by trees. Whatever your decision, you can be sure that your cobbled outdoor floor will age gracefully, evolving with your garden over time.
