Reclaimed German Basalt Cobblestone

Reclaimed German basalt cobblestone pavers lay a dark, unified floor that makes pale walls and planting stand forward in sharp relief. The color runs deep, graphite, iron gray and midnight with a natural sheen and smoky shifts that keep the field from reading flat. Basalt is volcanic rock, very hard and cool to the touch, and these setts have tops worn smooth by long service in German streets, so the profile is time softened while the stone beneath is as hard as ever.

The format is a nominal 5 1/2 by 8 inch sett, 5 1/2 inches deep, sold by the square foot. The stones can be gauged to a desired thickness for setting over a slab, or laid full depth on a compacted base in the traditional way. Expect variation in size and tone within a pallet; it is reclaimed stone.

Use these basalt pavers for a cobblestone driveway or a motor court where the ground should recede and the house should carry the eye, or for a courtyard against crisp white plaster, warm cedar or glass. Full-depth setts also make a good threshold or apron at a gate. Come and handle the stone at our showroom in Marina Del Rey, or send your area and we will quote the cobblestone pavers delivered.
