Why Choose Bluestone and Belgium Blocks?
Both bluestone and Belgium blocks offer unique characteristics that make them highly sought after for a variety of outdoor projects. Here’s why these materials are popular for driveways, patios, walkways, and more:
Benefits of Bluestone
- Natural Beauty: Bluestone is a type of sandstone that comes in a range of beautiful blue, gray, and earthy tones, making it a versatile choice for any design. Its natural variations add a unique and luxurious touch to your outdoor space.
- Durability: Bluestone is extremely durable and can withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic. It is also resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for areas like Pennsylvania and Delaware that experience fluctuating climates.
- Versatility: Bluestone can be used for a variety of projects, including patios, walkways, pool decks, and outdoor seating areas. It can be cut into different sizes and shapes, allowing for custom designs that fit your style.
- Low Maintenance: Bluestone requires minimal maintenance to keep its beauty and strength. Occasional cleaning and resealing will help preserve its natural appearance and protect it from the elements.
Benefits of Belgium Blocks
- Timeless Appeal: Belgium blocks, also known as cobblestones, are large, rectangular stones that are often used for edging, driveways, and decorative accents. Their historical use in streets and buildings gives them a timeless, classic look.
- Strength and Durability: Belgium blocks are incredibly strong and resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for areas that experience heavy traffic or extreme weather conditions.
- Versatile Applications: Belgium blocks can be used to create elegant borders for driveways and walkways, define garden beds, or accentuate outdoor areas. They are also commonly used for driveway aprons to add a touch of sophistication.
