cobblestone
we're looking for some cobblestone to line the edges of our front garden. Any suggestions?

Sold as "belgian block" @ Lowe's or Home Depot, etc. Available in approx. 6" squares or 12" rectangles. Fairly simple to do. Dig down about 18". Place gravel to a height that you are happy with the level of blocks that are to be placed above. Mix a little cement, place a 1-2" layer below and leave a 1" space between blocks and some cement there as well. No need to cut these granite stones (would be tough to do). Simply space the blocks in a way that the proposed length is covered (and use the squares as needed). If all else fails - hire a mason or landscaper - they usually charge by the linear foot. Good luck.

take a look at Interlocking pavers.No cement necessary in many applications. comes in a light brown, & charcoal grey. We used it for our entire driveway. It is mounted in sand, with a sand filler as a grout. The name "Interlocking" is a misnomer.

Lowes and HD don't usually have the real thing. I've picked up cobblestones at Ranieri on 2nd Ave & 14th Street (3 blocks from Lowes).

Any local brick yard will carry belgian block much cheaper than the borg (HD or Loews)
