RECLAIMED COBBLESTONE:the Most Ancient Paving Method
Cobblestones have been used for paving since ancient times. Roman-era cobbled streets date back to the 3rd and 4th centuries, and earlier examples have been found in what was ancient Greece and Mesopotamia. Originally smooth rounded stones gathered from river beds or glacial deposits were used as cobblestones. As safer, smoother streets were desired, quarried stones with much flatter surface profiles and more regular shapes were substituted. Now, this reclaimed stone—reclaimed cobblestone—is sought after, to be used mainly as pavers.
