When most people think of antique stone, they think of reclaimed cobblestones that were used in streets, as well as reclaimed curbing laid flat for borders. However, by the way these products are naturally formed, they are not ideal-as they can be uneven, and nobody wants a wobbly chair or table on their outdoor living space. There are many other antique stones to choose from when building a patio or walkway.
Over the last two years, many people have been moving to antique stones which lay more evenly to create an excellent patio or walkway for your home.
Looking to Build a Sidewalk or Walkway?
Antique bluestone and reclaimed sandstone are ideal for sidewalks and walkways. Bluestone has a rich history and experiences a long journey before it arrives at your home. Bluestone paving originated from quarries in North America. In New York, Bluestone was in great abundance and was the material of choice for the vast network of sidewalks in Manhattan. Today, antique bluestone serves as a beautiful material for sidewalks and walkways.
Looking to Build a Patio?
Reclaimed granite squares and antique stone paving planks are becoming more popular, especially with people that want a rustic, modern look. They lay flat to create a very even surface and add texture and color around your home. These antique granite squares are hand-chiseled and centuries old, creating a very unique look.
