What are Concrete Paving Stones?
 
            Basically, the stones are produced by taking a concrete mix and adding whichever oxide in order to achieve the color you want.  Within a special machine, the mix is vibrated into molds.  There are many different shapes of paving stones, thus many molds.  Each layer of the pallet is vibrated and stacked and left to cure until dry.  Once the stones have set they are ready for use.  Depending on the thickness of the stone, 6 cm to 8 cm, the product can withstand anywhere from 8000 to 9000 lbs. per square inch.  Along with being more aesthetically pleasing than a poured slab, there is an increase in drainage, and since they are individual units, easily taken up and placed back.    
 
 
A brief History of using paving stones.
 
            Have you ever been to Europe?  It seems paving stones are everywhere there.  The idea of using paving units is thousands of years old.  Some of the roads are still around that the Romans constructed over 2000 years ago.  The idea is simple, create a product which drains well, can withstand heavy traffic, and looks unique.
