OUTDOOR SANCTUARIES.
It’s possible with Pavers by Ideal.
Unlike asphalt, cast-in-place concrete and
stamped patterned surfaces, our pavers provide
a mortarless pavement that forever remains free
of cracks. They are unaffected by oil and gas spills
and, if necessary, can be lifted and reinstated
without a trace of an unsightly patch that other
paving materials leave behind. Over time dirt,
stains and wear are inevitable and affect ALL
types of pavements. This is where concrete
pavers are superior to other types of pavements
because with a little maintenance, you can keep
the surface looking beautiful for a lifetime.
Simple measures can easily clean dirt, grime,
moss and algae, remove rust and oil stains,
prevent weeds and ants and even repair areas
that may have settled in the long run.
- Easy to install and are skid and slip resistant
- Shapes, designs and textures complement any
architectural style
- Our pavers are stronger and will out-perform
traditional paving materials
- Unaffected by oil and gas spills
- Repairable without a patch
- Add value and lasting beauty to your home
- Comparable in cost to cast-in-place concrete,
stamped pattern asphalt and concrete and
composite wood decks

ANDOVER COLLECTION
TM
For years, patios of natural cut stone were found only in the wealthiest homes. We have changed
the rules with our Andover Collection, featuring larger-scale pavers that can create a variety
of timeless patterns with the classic look of natural stone. The cleft and contours of our Andover
Collection have the look and feel of cut stone with the dimensional stability, cost and installation
advantages of concrete pavers. Our Collection consists of a 5-piece set, comprised of 3 sizes
scaled to modular dimensions, and Andover GrandStone and Andover 5511, which are available
separately. GrandStone may be used alone, or may replace pavers within the Set-Stone Pattern.
FEATURES

EXPRESS YOURSELF
Color is the number one reason why more architects, professional landscapers and
homeowners choose Ideal. And it’s no wonder. We saturate our pavers top-tobottom with pure oxide pigments and give you a wide range of eye-catching colors
inspired by the deep, rich hues authentic to New England’s heritage.
While we feature a large selection of colors, we encourage you to explore your
creativity by designing your own custom blend, unique to your style, preference and
color scheme, by intermixing two or more colors from our palette to enhance and
complement your home.
We show a few of our most popular Inter-Blend color combinations below.
To further expand your creative options, combine different percentages of the colors
and blends. While we show our popular Boston Colonial Pavers to demonstrate some
of the options, you can use our Inter-Blend colors with almost any of our paver styles,
as noted in picture captions throughout our catalog. Your possibilities are almost
limitless!
INTER-BLEND COLORS
MOSAICS, PATTERNS AND BANDS
Accent your pavement by using contrasting colors, styles or different
surface textures along the borders and bands within the pattern to
define boundaries and zones. Make a bold statement with mosaics
and inset designs!

PERMEABLE PAVERS
Aqua-Bric® IV - Vineyard Blend
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?
So are we. Our Permeable Pavers are a stylish and practical way to go green.

Why Permeable Pavers?
PERMEABLE ECO-FRIENDLY PAVERS
n
THINKING GREEN?
Capable of infiltrating 100% of rainfall
nPedestrian friendly
n
Choice of styles, colors and patterns
nEasy to clean and maintain
nFirm, stable and slip-resistant
n
Strong as our other high-strength pavers
nSuitable for:

l Heavy-duty pavements
nWinter friendly
l Snow-plow safe
l Allow snow melt to drain
l Minimize icing and deicer use
n

l Unaffected by heat
l Do not get soft or deform
It is important to consider our impact on the environment. If you are environmentally
conscientious, or perhaps facing zoning restrictions limiting the amount of hard surfaces you
can use on your property, our eco-friendly permeable interlocking concrete pavers could be
the right choice for you.
Our Aqua-Bric, Eco-Stone and 5511 pavers create a strong, durable pavement with a series of
openings that allow water, even heavy rainfall and snow melt, to drain through the surface
and pass through an open-graded stone base where contaminants in the water are naturally
filtered out before the water infiltrates into the soil below.
In contrast, rain and snow falling onto your patio, walkway, driveway and lawns pick-up
pollutants and carry them into nearby catch basins and storm drains. Unfortunately, these
types of drains do not lead to treatment plants. Instead, they convey contaminated water
directly to streams, lakes and rivers, and ultimately into coastal waters affecting aquatic life,
fishing, swimming and even our drinking water.
Permeable pavers – a built-in solution to managing stormwater pollution with all the benefits,
style and character of our traditional pavers. Contact us for more information, including easy
to follow step-by-step installation instructions. Pavers by Ideal…making products that lessen
our impact on the world around us and helping build a cleaner and more sustainable future.

MEETING YOUR EXPECTATIONS

MEETING YOUR EXPECTATIONS
As you consider a new walkway, patio, driveway, landscape wall, or other hardscape project, you have lots of choices
as to which product and color to select. It’s an important decision. After all, it’s an investment that should meet your
expectations for years to come. So we thought it would be helpful and responsible to pass along some sound advice.
What should be realistic expectations for your pavement or wall? Our pavers, walls and garden products are commercial
grade – unlike similar products found in large home improvement stores. Ours are factory made and delivered in readyto-use condition that meets the highest industry standards. This means they are strong, dense and durable. Properly
installed, your pavement and landscape walls will provide years of lasting beauty and dependable performance!
Ideal has made and sold hundreds of millions of paving stones and countless landscape walls since 1975. In fact,
no other manufacturer has sold more in New England than Ideal. Our name has become synonymous with quality,
service and reliability. While some manufacturers would lead you to believe their pavers and walls will never change in
appearance, we believe in a more realistic position. After all, over time Mother Nature takes her toll on everything!
We keep this in mind in our design. So while normal wear and tear and exposure to the elements are part of the natural
aging process, you can expect the color tones, shape and pattern of Ideal products to remain for a lifetime!
For additional information, we recommend ICPI Peak Performance – a Maintenance Guide for Consumers published by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute.
It contains a wealth of information that will help keep your pavement in tip top shape and can be found on our website.
COLORS: OUR BEAUTY IS
MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
Our pavers and walls are saturated with
rich colors…top-to-bottom…not just at
the surface. Because color is throughout,
chips, dings and scratches, which are
inevitable, quickly “blend-in” and are
hardly discernible. Don’t be fooled by
gimmicks that are nothing more than a
thin veneer.
After all, our products are a lifetime investment.
OUR PROCESS: IT’S ONLY NATURAL
Our pavers and walls are made with natural ingredients. Look closely and
you will find a unique character to each and every paver and wall. In fact,
no two look exactly alike. You will see subtle variations in color and texture
for a truly natural appearance. Our color blends contain 2 or more pigments
to achieve a random variegation and even our solid colors have nuances in
tone and hue. Please remember that, unlike a painted or stained surface,
concrete products have inherent texture and shade variations. The product
you receive may vary in color and texture from samples. Cubes of product
may contain a different percentage of colors and textures than shown in
this catalog. As you would with dye lots in fabric and carpet, purchase your
pavers and walls all at one time. When installing, product should be selected
randomly from several cubes to obtain uniform color distribution.
TUMBLED OR TRADITIONAL: WE COME
CLOSE TO FOOLING MOTHER NATURE
We manufacture our pavers and walls with a choice of finishes.
Choose pavers with a traditional surface or ones with the look and
feel found in vintage pavements. From our wall collection select
styles with a rugged split face to our tumbled finish that resembles
handcrafted walls of yesteryear.
To faithfully reproduce the color, texture and durability of vintage stone, we
use an innovative technology that enables us to impart an “old world” charm
using a unique factory process that antiques the surface, while preserving
the inherent structural stability. We call it Genuine Drum-Roll Tumbled, and
although it takes more time and effort than automated processes used by other
manufacturers, it creates pavers and wallstones that truly capture the nostalgia
of time-honored colors and textures of natural materials.
SNOW, ICE AND DEICERS
Our pavers and walls are more than beautiful. They have the durability to
withstand New England’s harsh winters and, when properly installed, snow
removal is no problem…either by shovel, snow blower or a plow using a rubber
or poly plastic cutting edge.
Our pavers have a surface that is slip and skid resistant even when wet. Ice,
on the other hand, can be slippery, particularly as it melts, and common sense
should be used to prevent slips and falls. We recommend sand for traction. It
can be applied liberally and as often as needed. Sand provides a visual reference
of its presence and can be felt underfoot as a tangible medium aiding foot
traffic. Clean, untreated sand has no corrosive effect on steel, metal, clay brick,
cast-in-place concrete or concrete pavers and it can be swept into the paver
joints or removed by conventional sweeping or vacuuming.
Concrete pavers are exceptionally robust in resisting the effects of deicing
chemicals. We have manufactured pavers that have been exposed to salts for
over 35 years! Nevertheless, chlorides can be harmful to concrete, steel and
other building materials depending on the type, concentration and frequency
of application. If using a deicer, we
recommend a NaCl sodium chloride. We
caution against the use of other types
including products that contain a blend of
chemicals.
EFFLORESCENCE
A white haze known as efflorescence sometimes appears on the surface of concrete and
masonry products. Technically known as calcium hydroxide, it can come from a number
of sources and appears as a white film when carried to the surface by moisture. It may
appear randomly or in certain areas and is more pronounced on darker colors. The good
news is efflorescence does not affect longevity or structural performance. Although
unsightly when it first appears, in many cases it is scoured off during installation, or if
desired, it can be removed using specialty cleaners. Otherwise, it will typically lessen, or
dissipate, over time with rain, snow and wear.
Because efflorescence can be a natural by-product of cement hydration, its presence is not
indicative of a flawed or defective product. As do all other manufacturers, we disclaim it
from our warranty.
PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED OR DO-IT-YOURSELF?
WE CAN HELP!
Deciding often depends on the size and scope of the work, as well as how ambitious
you are. While small walks may be a weekend project, others will take far longer. Your
authorized Pavers by Ideal dealer can recommend contractors suited for your project.
Be sure to check references, visit projects they have
installed, make sure they have insurance
and…get it in writing!!
Visit our website www.idealconcreteblock.com for more
helpful tips on hiring a contractor. For the ambitious
DIY-er we have easy-to-follow instructions that will guide
you step-by-step for beautiful results.
A PICTURE IS WORTH A
THOUSAND WORDS
How true the saying is that a picture conveys an image that words can never describe.
That is why we use pictures generously throughout this catalog to depict our products.
And yet many factors influence one’s perception of images
and colors, and they may appear different from one photo
to the next. Angle of light and time of day greatly affect
perception, and colors printed in ink cannot exactly match
the actual concrete product colors. The point we are trying
to make is the images shown in this catalog are only the
first step in selecting colors. Once you have narrowed
your choices, obtain actual samples from your dealer or
contractor. View them in the setting where they will be
installed before making your final selection.
