Reclaimed Cobblestones

Cobbles - Cobblestones

Cobbles are the original paving material and are first known to be used by the Romans over 2,000 years ago with some still doing their job! In the US cobbles were brought over from Europe as ballast in ships and then were installed in the colonial streets of New England.
In the late 19th century granite quarries across New England starting manufacturing cobbles for the industrializing cities. These are the we harvest and distribute. Our reclaimed cobblestones have worn smooth tops from years of use.

Install worn top up or laid on side?

Antique cobblestones are harvested and reused for a variety or reasons and uses, but for most it comes down to two things. You like the worn "top" of the cobble that has smooth and rounded edges and a worn patina you can’t find with new cobbles. The other is the kaleidoscope of colors found in old cobbles that often came from multiple quarries. If color is your number one reason you can often install reclaimed cobbles on their side and get significantly more coverage area per stone or pallet saving significant money over an entire paving project.
