Split Belgian Granite Cobbles Reclaimed

Description

Split Belgian Granite Cobbles Reclaimed Approx 8″ x 6″ x 2″ (10m2 Bag)

Reclaimed split Belgian granite cobbles offer a beautiful way to introduce character and history into outdoor spaces. Used for centuries to pave streets and courtyards, granite cobbles bring strength and natural beauty. Originally hand cut from stone, they provided a durable surface that stood up to centuries of use. Granite, known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weather, has always been one of the finest materials for cobbles. It withstands frost, rain and foot traffic with ease, retaining its form and texture for generations.

Globally recognised as a source of high quality granite, Belgium cobbles offer rich tones and a distinctive grain. Its quarries have supplied European cities for hundreds of years, helping to create roads and market squares that remain intact today. Reclaimed split Belgian granite cobbles carry this legacy, combining authentic European history with practicality for modern landscapes. Each cobble tells a story through its worn edges, gentle discolouration and irregular form.

These cobbles have been carefully split to a depth of around two inches. This gives them the look of a traditional cobble without the heavy six-to-eight-inch thickness. As a result, they are far easier to handle and lay. Installers benefit from faster preparation, reduced labour and lower overall costs. Their lighter weight also makes them suitable for projects where a full-depth cobble would be too cumbersome.

Domestic Use Adaptability

Although not recommended for heavy vehicular use, these reclaimed split Belgian granite cobbles are ideal for garden paths, courtyards and driveways with light traffic. Their weathered faces create an authentic aged surface that feels both historic and natural underfoot. Because they are reclaimed, no two stones are ever identical. Consequently, each installation becomes a unique surface that celebrates the material’s previous life.

Using reclaimed paving like these split Belgian granite cobbles supports sustainable design by reducing demand for new quarrying. Indeed, reuse keeps valuable stone in circulation while preserving its embodied energy. Available to order as a non-stock product, these cobbles provide a practical and beautiful link between traditional European craft and contemporary landscaping.
