Belgian block & cobblestone

Granite aprons, borders and curbs that outlast the drive

From
$45 a foot
How long
One to three days

Granite block is the oldest paving there is, and still the toughest: it takes the snowplow, the oil delivery and fifty winters of salt. We set it where a drive takes the most punishment, the apron at the street, and as borders that give an asphalt drive a clean, lasting edge.

Each block is set in a bed of concrete to a string line and the finished height of the drive, then the joints are pointed with mortar. At the street we tie in to the curb and the road so water runs into the gutter and not up the drive.

Questions

What is Belgian block?

Rough-cut granite blocks about the size of a brick. They take plows, tyres and salt for decades, which is why they line drives and old streets.

Does it need a permit at the street?

An apron in the township’s right of way often does. We check for your address and pull the permit before we start.
