Use Naturally-Occurring Bluestone Pavers
Bluestone is actually a naturally occurring blue-gray version of sandstone and subsequently has much the same advantages as its traditional sandstone cousins. Bluestone pavers are durable and versatile. Installation is relatively simple, with a wide range of dimensions available. Born of sand and quartz particles, bluestone is most native (in the U.S.) to Pennsylvania and New York, where it has been mined for more than a century.
Bluestone is treated with flame to create a uniform, coarse, pebble-like surface. Called thermal treated bluestone, these are the pavers most ideal for outdoor use because the high heat creates a slip-resistant surface. Natural cleft bluestone has not been heat-treated. It is much less uniform but also very durable and weather resistant.
Bluestone pavers are similar to sandstone in maintenance and cleaning. Pavers should be installed clean and sealed as soon as possible. Be sure that the right sealant is chosen for bluestone (i.e., one designed for 'cementitious' pavers).
Bluestone pavers are widely used in landscaping for patios, walkways, gardens, and even as pool decking. They are also common at fireplaces and steps. Bluestone pavers are also available in a cobblestone-like appearance called Tumbled Cobble, which are most suited to garden paths.

Here is what has been said about our Paving Stones Contractors:
California Construction Center is a wonderful company. These guys are truly concerned with the happiness and satisfaction of the homeowner. The foreman was always asking me if I was happy with the work. If I wanted any changes made, they were taken care of right away. There was always someone available to take my calls, and if I did have to leave a message, I would get a call back in minutes. All unforeseen work that wasn’t incorporated into the original bid was addressed with out them asking for more money. I am sincerely very happy with them and the work. These guys seem to be the only company that tells the truth. They were upfront about every aspect of the project. Everything that was on the contract was done. They genuinely care about the customer.
California Construction center did a really great job for me. They pay a lot attention to customer satisfaction. The guys running the show do a great job planning and organizing, and the crew does a wonderful job executing. All and all, it was a very positive experience and I would happily recommend these guys to others.
