Cropped into small, brick-like pieces as well as sawn for a contemporary finish, setts are a Roman style of paving and can be laid in traditional and modern designs. Stone setts can also be used as walling stones in some cases.

Tumbled stones have been through a tumbling machine, which is a bit like a large, slow cement mixer. The process smooths the edges, rounds off the corners and softens the face, creating a softer more worn and rustic style.
