Pavestones now allow you to create beautiful, eye catching, yet durable hardscapes around your home and garden. Pavestones have come a long way from when the Romans used them to create the first roads that helped the expansion of the Roman Empire. The pavestones used over 5,000 years ago were not decorative like they are today. They were made of natural rock or lava rock and were rectangular or octagonal in shape. Today, pavestones come in hundreds of shapes, colors, textures and sizes.

Creating your dream driveway, walkway, patio or pool deck is made easy when using decorative interlocking pavestones. Pavestones are offered in solid or blended colors that can easily be mixed and blended to highlight different color accents in and around your home. A popular design feature is using a darker paving stone to border the rest of the paved area. This will standout and give your hardscape a truly custom appearance.

Pavestones are manufactured in many different shapes and sizes to allow for flexibility of design. Pavestone circular patterns are used regularly to highlight entry points or center points of a patio or driveway. Some packages are available with 4 or 5 stones to allow for custom, elegant patterns that will make your pavestone installation look as rich as possible.

Pavestones are also available in different textures. A smooth surfaced stone, typically called an ‘Antique Cobble’ is great for a modern or contemporary style. This will leave you with a defined joint line that helps to create a stand out pavement. A tumbled stone have a weathered look on all sides of the pavestone, making it look aged and seasoned. These stones are considered a designer type stone and are often seen in pricier homes. The tumbled pavestone is an excellent selection for just about any application and will not disappoint.

Pavestones are now being used to construct steps, barbecues, fire pits and walls. Since their look is so appealing, designers and contractors have been getting creative in the way they use pavestones. Overlaying them over concrete, using them as a veneer over walls, or stacking to create small cheek walls are all being done.
