Photo - Paver Driveway

This driveway was made from Stonetop Pavers from RCP Block & Brick.  The color used was Brown Stone.  Pavers are a beautiful and versatile material for patios, pathways and driveway.  This particular paver is my favorite for driveways because it is a little "grippier" than Antique Cobble.
