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

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
