The History of Cobblestones, and Their Use in Paving for Your Connecticut Home
Cobblestones. They’re beautiful, and they instantly bring to mind winding lanes through misty villages. They’re also tricky to walk on, and the cause of many a twisted ankle.They're also a lot more than merely pretty. In fact, they’re considered one of the most durable and hardwearing paving methods in the world. That is probably why they’ve been around nearly as long as there have been paved roads. Constructing cobblestone roads hasn’t changed much in all that time. Water worn stones are collected and sized. Then they are either set on a sand bedding or in mortar. This creates an easy to clean; crack resistant road surface that’s perfect for areas where freezing and flooding is likely.
