Cobblestones are hardscaping elements that will never go out of style. Whether you love the rustic charm of mismatched stones weaving a quaint path or the sleek uniformity of perfectly smooth rocks in a rigidly straight design, there are countless ways to incorporate them into your property plans. Here are just a few ideas to inspire you. 

3 Ways to Include Cobblestones on Your Property

1. In the Driveway

Driveways should be built to last, and as long as you choose the right materials, a cobblestone driveway will. Simple patterns made of flattened stones are ideal for driveways because they can withstand a considerable amount of traffic. They’ll also provide an impressive entranceway without drawing attention from the house’s architectural elements. 

2. On the Patio 

A cobblestone patio provides the perfect place to gather loved ones or entertain guests. Get creative with both designs and color schemes for the patio. Worn, rounded stones with overgrown vegetation will give your lawn a touch of old-world enchantment, while sleeker, square stones in shades of black or gray will complement a modern barbecue area complete with stainless steel appliances. 

3. Around the Flowerbeds 

If you keep bushes or flowerbeds on your property, make them look neat and orderly with cobblestone edging. Using larger stones to keep flowers and small plants in place is a great way to tidy up the landscaping without spending a fortune. As long as they’re installed properly, the stones will require virtually no maintenance.
