Patio block are different than pavers in that they are thinner and have a larger surface area. They are intended for walkways and patios but cannot support a vehicle's weight. So they are not recommended for driveways, or other areas where extreme weight will be applied.

The pathway in the photo above is made with 18" Cobblestone Patio Squares and provides a width for easy access from the garage and driveway to the back yard without losing the effect of the cobblestone accent.

As shown in the above photo, using patio stones is a very attractive way to reduce the amount of grass or vegetation, which requires water and maintenance. With increased focus on water conservation as years go on. It's a great time to start thinking about ways to reduce your own water consumption with the use of concrete materials.

There are a variety of patterns that can be created by carefully choosing compimentary colors and vivid contrasting colors of paving stones.

Let us assist you in preparing the perfect patio pattern for your custom look.

This elegant patio is created using a plain color accent border around multi-colored pavers that coordinate with the walkway and the wall. It creates a private setting in a wide open area.

We manufacture many different styles of patio stones. No matter what your style is, you are sure to find a patio stone that would look great around your house.

The above photo features our Exposed Aggregate patio stones used in the patio and our Holland Pavers are used in the walkway. The Exposed Aggregate block product is manufactured with a larger aggregate and the top of the block is washed off to expose this aggregate.

This natural look is gaining in popularity every season, and is preffered in areas where additional traction is needed. This may include slopes, areas that ice up frequently, or where ever you enjoy a textured alternative.

Patio stones require a compacted and level base and sand prior to installation. For your convenience, St. Vrain Block has provided patio installation instructions for the "Do-It-Yourselfer" to use as a guide.

There are always tips and tricks available from our expert staff, and we're only a phone call away: 303.833.4144.
