Complete installation & specification details are available by contacting your Pavestone Sales Representative. Note: Colors are shown as accurately as possible in brochures & samples, but due to the nature of the product, regional color preferences and variables in print reproduction, colors may not match exactly. For best results in maintaining color consistency, pavers must be installed from several cubes at a time. Efflorescence, a whitish, powder-like deposit, may appear on concrete pavers. This is a natural occurrence in any concrete product and will usually wear off over time.
