Driveways made from reclaimed setts will last a lifetime. Whether you choose sandstone or granite setts, the drive will be highly durable and, if laid properly, it will last more than a lifetime. Take a look at the many old streets and pedestrian areas in town centres that have setts or cobblestones to give yourself an idea of how long they will last.
A driveway constructed of setts should be as good as impermeable, which will help to keep it in great condition. However, that means it must have adequate drainage when it is laid - a good specialist paving contractor will do this as standard.
