Reclaimed Street Pavers

With the recent push for green building, reclaimed pavers have surfaced as not only a sustainable material, but they exhibit a beauty modern materials strive to accomplish. From the streets of the early 1900's, these pavers were once trampled with horse and buggy, and most were paved over or dumped somewhere as fill.
Signs of previous life include paint markings, chips and discolorations, in addition to their natural patina from being fired in a kiln as a chunk of clay, the pavers can range from orange to deep maroon.

At Northeastern Exteriors LLC, we are always on the hunt for a new batch of pavers. We buy and sell them in addition to installing them in a mulitude of exterior projects. From patios to fireplaces, we find unique uses for these clay fired gems.
