Old, used granite or sandstone cobblestones from the Historic European Cobblestone<\/a> collection have already withstood centuries of wear and weather – and will continue to endure and even outlast the life of your home!\u00a0 As reclaimed material, these old cobbles and curb are the ultimate in a recycled – salvaged and green product.<\/p>\n Antique reclaimed cobblestones from the Historic European Cobblestone collection have a unique and beautiful patina. This patina is what sets these used, reclaimed antique cobblestones apart from other stone – and certainly from manufactured products. One option is old\u00a0granite<\/a>, ranging in color from dark gray to gray-green or gray-blue. Another is our antique\u00a0\u2018sandstone\u2019<\/a>, which is actually an extremely hard\/dense stone from Europe. It\u2019s patina is a warm, gray and earth-tone range. Old Sandstone cobbles have a flatter surface than granite and are sometimes used as flooring for rustic interiors or wine cellars. There are other types of stone available as well, all reclaimed – with various shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n Original cobblestones were traditionally set in sand, with their narrower ends firmly set at the base and their wider tops nearly touching, with just a little sand between them. No mortar was used. Many people still install them the traditional way. Most masons are capable of a quality installation. If any guidance is needed, we\u2019re happy to provide installation advice by phone, for no charge.<\/p>\n While European cobblestones conjure up images of the liveried coachmen and gilded carriages of a distant era, there is a modern version as well, as some opt to have the bottom portion sawn\/sliced to a 2\u201d thickness, to be installed on a concrete base and grout the joints with mortar.\u00a0Architects and landscape designers appreciate cobblestones for this versatility. The collection compliments many types of architecture; traditional, French Country, Spanish Colonial, and Tuscan-style homes to name a few of the more popular styles<\/p>\n Not only is there a wide color palette, but the stones are available in more than 6 sizes of square and rectangular shapes, ranging in size from three to seven inches long, with a normal height of five or six inches. Old curb sections and individual jumbo cobbles used as curb or borders, are available as well.<\/p>\n Plan your design and ‘dig in’ for a long lasting relationship with your beautiful\u00a0 cobblestone driveway or walkway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Old, used granite or sandstone cobblestones from the Historic European Cobblestone collection have already withstood centuries of wear and weather – and will continue to endure and even outlast the life of your home!\u00a0 As reclaimed material, these old cobbles and curb are the ultimate in a recycled – salvaged and green product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8],"tags":[15,23,21,16,24,22,14,19,20],"dipi_cpt_category":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3035"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3035"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3176,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3035\/revisions\/3176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3035"},{"taxonomy":"dipi_cpt_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.historiceuropeancobblestone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dipi_cpt_category?post=3035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
