Interlocking paving stones have been around for over 5,000
years. The first roads around 3,000 B.C. were made from
segmental paving units on the isle of Crete.The Romans, more
than two thousand years ago, used tightly fitted cut stone set
on a compacted aggregate base to create superior roads. Today,
tourists walk those same roads over the original paving stones.

Simple, economical, durable, and virtually maintenance-free,
the Roman system became the concept for a most versatile paving
solution.

The use and popularity of interlocking paving stones is growing
by leaps and bounds on the West Coast today. The reason?
Interlocking paving stones are a superior system at a very
affordable price.

Paving Stone Use Today

The modern paving stone system uses precision manufactured
concrete interlocking paving stones. Developed in the
Netherlands shortly after World War II as a replacement for
clay brick streets, concrete pavers became the norm in Europe.
With billions of square feet installed annually on a
multi-continental scale, the ingenious pavement of the ancient
world has been translated into the ultimate paving solution for
the present.

The value of interlocking concrete pavements has certainly been
proven worldwide, and is rapidly expanding its recognition and
momentum as an ideal pavement in Southern California as well as
it is elsewhere.

Paving stones are made from either concrete or clay. They are
set in sand rather than mortar and out perform mortar set
stones and brick in durability, strength and flexibility (the
ability to resist cracking). Pavers are stronger than brick,
are earthquake resistant, and come in a variety of paving stone
shapes and colors to create beautiful landscape designs for
your patio, driveway or walkway. These are just some of the
reasons more and more homeowners today make good use of paving
stones.
