This is a street in Philadelphia which will be repaved. The old cobblestones will be removed and the street paved with concrete or asphalt. The old cobblestones will be recycled and reused in a new project.
Here is a beautiful project just completed. This is a reclaimed Philadelphia cobblestone driveway. These cobblestones were reclaimed from a street in Philadelphia. The worn cobblestones are very beautiful with uneven ridges showing wear from years of horse and buggies, foot traffic and modern modes of transportation.
A recent job we completed is a thin Philly Cobblestone floor. Reclaimed Philly cobblestones were cut to 3/4" thickness and mortored to create a beautiful and unique floor. Cobblestones were reclaimed from Philadelphia streets that were over 200 years old. Ben Franklin, himself, may have walked on these cobblestones.
