Stone Work

Paving Stones

Paving stones define beauty, elegance and durability for driveways, pool decks, walkways and patios. A properly installed paving stone driveway won’t crack, sag, shift or separate. It will keep looking fantastic for generations, and if it ever becomes stained or marred by paint or oil it can be repaired quickly, easily and invisibly. Individual stones can be replaced with matching ones so that the surface looks exactly as it did before the accident occurred. This is impossible with any other type of pavement. Interlocking paving stones are also earthquake resistant--a big plus in Portland and Vancouver Area.

The huge range of colors and patterns available makes customized design possible for any type of courtyard, patio, deck, or driveway. Paving stone design is an art our in-house designers have perfected over thousands of commercial and residential installations. You designer will work with you to create the perfect match for your project,

whether it is patio pavers for your deck or a complete landscape design to complement your new paving stone driveway and walkways.

Paving Stone Driveways

Driveway paving installers know the incredible strength and long-lasting qualities of paving stones. In Europe, cobblestone streets, walkways and town squares are everywhere, many of them several hundred years old and still in perfect shape. When expensive natural stone became out of reach, Europeans weren’t willing to give up the charm and elegance that only stone paving can give, so they invented a new type of paving stone (known in the industry as “interlocking pavers”) that duplicated the beauty and strength of stone at a fraction of the price. Since that time, concrete pavers have become the pavement of choice. They became available in the US and have been increasing in popularity over the last decade as more and more people discover their beauty and practical advantages.

Interlocking Concrete Patio Pavers, Driveway Pavers and Walkway Pavers

Traditional concrete, asphalt or gravel driveways pale in comparison to the beauty of driveway pavers.

There are many benefits to installing concrete pavers that make them the best value even when compared to cobblestone, stamped concrete, or clay pavers.

Concrete Pavers

Concrete pavers come in a wide variety of surface finishes, colors, and shapes, as well as laying patterns to compliment the architectural style of your home.

Cobblestones

Cobblestones have wide joints which encourage weeds and have a surface that makes walking difficult. Concrete pavers won’t crack like asphalt or poured-in-place concrete. This is because each unit has joints that allow for a small amount of movement without cracking. Additionally, cobblestones can be 3-4 times more expensive than concrete pavers.
