Interlocking Concrete
Paving Stones

A History With A Future

More than two thousand years ago, Romans used tightly fitted cut stone set on a compacted aggregate base to create superior roads. Today, tourists walk those same roads over the original paving stones. Simple, economical, durable, and virtually maintenance-free, the Roman system became the concept for a most versatile paving solution.

The modern version uses precision manufactured concrete interlocking paving stones. Developed in the Netherlands shortly after World War II as a replacement for clay brick streets, concrete pavers became the norm in Europe. With billions of square feet installed annually on a multi-continental scale, the ingenious pavement of the ancient world has been translated into the ultimate paving solution for the present.

Here and Now

The value of interlocking concrete pavements has certainly been proven worldwide, and is rapidly expanding its recognition and momentum as an ideal pavement in Southern California as well as it is elsewhere. Angelus Block has positioned itself as the premier source with its recently opened state-of-the-art paver manufacturing facility which provides ample capacity for this growing industry, as well as an expanded palette for professional designers.
