Depending on the product you have chosen and the size of your project, Pavestone has put together a Materials Estimating Help Book that will be able to guide you through calculating what you will need for your particular project. Also, the salespeople at many of the fine Retail stores carrying Pavestone products can assist you in figuring your project.
How do I order Pavestone products that the stores do not stock?
Most stores will have a Special Order program for non-stock items. Please check with a store representative for product availability in your area.
Can I buy direct and if not, where is the nearest store?
Pavestone does not sell to the general public. The WHERE TO BUY link on our website links you to an online store locator to assist you in finding a retailer in your area. You may also call the nearest Pavestone manufacturing plant for assistance in locating a retailer in your area.
Do you install?
Pavestone does not install but we work with many quality contractors that have been buying from Pavestone for years that are highly qualified to do installations. If you would like to get a list of these contractors and a guide to hiring a quality contractor just call Pavestone, request a list and it will be sent to you. Also, check with local Home Depot that is carrying Pavestone and see if they have an At Home Service Installation Program or call 1-800-79-DEPOT.
How do I cut Pavestone products?
In most cases you can use a 3" masonry chisel and a hand sledgehammer as well as a guillotine splitter to cut most retaining wall and edging products. When you make cuts on the Pavestone pavers and patio products it is recommended that you use either a guillotine splitter or for more precision cuts a wet saw with a diamond tip blade. Because the pavers are of such high strength and quality the use of a diamond tip blade is required. Using a masonry blade and circular saw will wear the blade down in just one or two cuts.
Do the colors fade?
Pavestone uses the highest quality pigment made for adding color in concrete pavers but because of the extreme power of the sun you will still have some fading over the years. The color on Pavestone's pavers is not just a surface color, like with some manufacturers, but color clear through the paver so there will be less loss of color from wear and from the sun.
Can I add to my Pavestone project at a later date?
One great reason for using Pavestone products is because you can easily add to any type of project that you are doing with our products. In the case of pavers and patio stone all you will have to do is pull up your edge restraint and start adding to your project. If the colors show a little variance you can pull up a couple of rows of the old paved area and blend that in with the new pavers you are laying. If you want to add to an edging project you would just add on by extending your trench. With wall products you would stack more product on an existing wall if it hasnΓÇÖt reached its maximum height or dig extending your trench and add on. If the colors end up being a little off on these projects just follow the same procedure as the pavers and pull up some of the old product and mix them in with the new.
