Common Types of Chinese Cobblestone

China is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cobblestones (also called cube stone, setts, paving cubes, or granite cobbles). Chinese cobblestones are widely used for streets, plazas, driveways, courtyards, gardens, and landscape projects because they are durable, weather-resistant, and available in many sizes and colors.
