Calstone Pavers
Calstone pavers are individual precast concrete units. They are manufactured
with our state of the art paving stone machine located in San Martin
California. This specialized manufacturing process ensures an exacting quality
controlled environment that produces pavers of higher strength and durability
than normal concrete.
Per industry specifications, pavers must meet a minimum average compressive
strength of 8,000 psi. This can be compared to a range of about 1,500 2,500 psi
for poured in place concrete. That means a Calstone paver is 3 times stronger
than your current concrete driveway or patio.
Calstone pavers can be used for ANY type of paving project including Driveways.
Throughout the world. Concrete paving stones are used in airports, streets,
driveways, industrial yards, pool decks, anywhere you want to use them.
However, pavers are only superior if the system underneath them doesn't fail.
This is why we recommend a minimum of 6 8 thickness of compacted aggregate base
in residential vehicular traffic. If improper materials are used or compaction
is not achieved, the base may fail causing the pavers to settle or rut.
