Historic European Cobblestone® is an authentic, salvaged/ reclaimed cobblestone collection and curbing, supplied nationwide by Monarch Stone International.
“Green” building, is the practice of using methods that contribute to the health of this planet. Both buildings and landscape can be designed, constructed and operated to minimize the total environmental impact.
Historic European Cobblestone® is extracted from streets that must undergo construction and there is no further use for it. Here are some key points that establish this authentic antique collection as being “green”:
* Historic European Cobblestone® was not made with equipment that polluted the air. These cobbles and curbing were predominantly quarried by physical labor, hand cut/trimmed between the 16th -20th century.
*If this cobblestone is not re-used, it will end up in landfills.
* Reclaimed granite or sandstone cobblestone has exceptional durability and low to no maintenance.
* Cobblestone, when installed on a natural sand base, can be re-used as many times as required; can be salvaged and re-used again and again.
* Installed on a natural sub-base, with sand joints, or a mix of sand and permeable sand stabilizer, will allow for permeability which reduces storm water run-off and aids in the reduction of pollutants and reduces erosion.
* When you use natural stone that is also reclaimed, and an installation that is environmentally responsible, you are utilizing a “green” product and “green” design!
