Granite cobblestones have been used in Europe for centuries creating an old-world look that until now has been difficult to duplicate. In 1994 a gentleman living in Holland (The Netherlands) had a vision to cast large rubber molds from original granite cobble stones which would be filled with color through concrete and connect the individual stones with a cast-in grid. The result was Cobble Systems. The system was patented and has been used in Europe for over a decade with great success. Our company then obtained the rights to manufacture and sell the product and in early 2004 Cobble Systems started shipping product all over North America, Mexico, and The Caribbean.

One area of increasing demand in the United States is the need for flexible pervious paving systems.  The United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) has made storm water containment a high priority when assessing a site’s environmental performance.  Often times a developer, contractor or homeowner will want to add a driveway, sidewalk or patio to their project or home, but have not had the available space due to lot-to-building footprint ratios.  By using Cobble Systems along with our EcoSystems Grout or fine gravel as a joint filler, a pervious material can be achieved and the property is beautifully enhanced.

Another advantage of Cobble Systems is that our paving stones really do have a natural stone look, which is a look that the industry is ever striving to historically duplicate. Cobble Systems offers the strength of dry cast pavers and brick pavers, along with the look of natural cobblestones and installs quickly, since multiple square feet are installed at a time instead of the “piece by piece” placing of pavers, stone or brick. The design flexibility is limitless so the imagination can become reality.  The current day result is the historical timeless beauty of old world natural granite cobbles at an affordable price.
