If you are looking to add not only a beautiful feature to your home, but also thinking of a clever way to go green with your renovation, reclaimed cobblestone is a great material to use. In going with reclaimed materials, you are making a great eco-friendly choice that will be able to give your home a character and charm that it didn’t have before. Learn why you should beautify your home with reclaimed cobblestones below.
Where To Use Reclaimed Cobblestone
Reclaimed cobblestones can be used in a variety of areas around your home. The most obvious and probably the biggest way to show them off consists of using them to pave your driveway. Not only will they be a nice change from either concrete or asphalt, but they will also give your home a more distinctive look. Especially if you live in a housing area where many of the homes look very similar to each other, a cobblestone driveway is a great way to make your home stand out in the neighborhood.
Reclaimed cobblestone pavers can also be used to make sidewalks or even beautiful back patio areas. And if you already have concrete sidewalks that you don’t want to rip up because they are new, then edging them with cobblestones is a wonderful alternative. Not only will you be able to give your sidewalk a more interesting look, but you won’t have to rip out the existing concrete, makes the renovation both more palpable and quicker.
The same can be said about a patio. Simply putting reclaimed cobblestones around the outside perimeter is a great way to add detail to an otherwise bland space. Of course, you can always be even more creative with cobblestones. In fact, you can use them around trees to add a beautiful decorative touch, or perhaps create a beautiful raised garden in a ring around the trunk. These cobblestones are beautiful, and their usability is varied throughout your property.
Considering Your Options
By using reclaimed cobblestone, you are adding a piece of history to your home. But after you make the choice of integrating them into your property, you still have several different choices of cobblestone to consider. We offer seven different types of reclaimed cobblestone, so you should be able to find something that goes with your taste and your home, acting as a beautiful base design or a stunning accent.
For example, if you are looking to give your home a little warmth and color, then you should get the Antique Pink Cobblestone. At over 150 years old, these stones have a slightly polished surface and will add a great deal of sophistication to your home. If your property features cool colors such as greys and blues prominently, this is a great way to add some detail.
If you are looking to add some fantastic history to your home, then the Antique Blue Cobblestone is ideal. Coming from the streets of Pennsylvania, these stones have been worn down and polished by feet, horse and carts for over 200 years. These have a look that simply can’t be replicated. No matter what project you decide to use these reclaimed cobblestones for, you’ll be glad that you did.
