Private Residence - Babylon, New York



To complement natural-stone veneer, 6-X 9-in. Granite City Rustico pavers were selected for the 4,000-sq.-ft. driveway of the two-story waterfront home. A charcoal fan design at the entrance of the driveway adjoins an island of Rustic outlined in Pewter Roma II. A unique asymmetrical design is created as a circle provides transition to a second island of Rustico. The outside perimeter is paved with Charcoal Roma I. Pavers for the project are 60 mm thick, laid on one inch of grated sand over nine inches of compacted recycled-concretebase.

Private Residence Melville, New York

Tumbled-finish pavers 60 mm thick laid on one inch of grated sand over an 8-in. recycled-concrete base contribute to an exciting versatility of design for the 16,000-sq.-ft. pavement enhancing this two-story Spanish villa. A custom blend of Chamois and Salmon matches the terra cotta roof tiles. Inserting 6-X 6-in. Salmon Rustico pavers diagonally with Crab Orchard tumbled triangles to create a border further defined by Chamois and Salmon Roma circles, the designer accentuates the pattern with spiral configurations at the main entrance and driveway apron. Crab Orchard tumbled Holland Stones highlight these focal points. By contrast, the backyard terrace constructed of sealant-coated Mojave Pisces Paver, a proprietary unit, exhibits a sleek finish. The pool is surrounded by an oval- shaped tumbled Holland Stone patio, with contractor-supplied edge restraint system securing the borders.

Harbor Club Huntington, New York



Mirroring the panoramic view from a second-floor deck of the catering hall, 4-in. slim-line paving stones form a blue, wave-like floor pattern. The 4-ft.-wide asymmetrical border is composed of Mojave, Brown, and Chamois pavers. Two interconnected squares frame a revolving central design for which sawcut paving stones are used to create the illusion of motion. Stones for the 2,000-sq.ft. surface were laid on 1/2 in. fine sand over waterproof rubber membrane. Crab Orchard fullnose and Pisces Pavers, an orginal design and registered trademark of the designer, were used for the main entrance walkway and steps.

Waterfall - Ronkonkoma, New York



The Waterfalls is more than remarkably appointed apartments. Your first impressions is of an especially breathtaking community. The blend of plush landscaping with attractive and functional architectural design makes The Waterfalls an appealing and comfortable haven. Paving stones were used to pave the pathways that lead around the breathtaking waterfalls. Paving stones were relaid on 1" of grated sand over 5" of compacted recycled concrete base. The Gappsi Edge Restraint System was used to secure the borders of walkways. Circle patterns were used to create a spiral-like design. A brown overlaid fan design with chamois borders was created to accent the flag flower bed. Golden brown circles were used for the barbecue patio, and Roma I, Roma II for the remaining walkways.
