Reclaimed Philadelphia Cobblestone Driveway

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.

Thin Philly Cobblestone Floors

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.
