Salvaged from old factories, mills, and schools around New England, this blend is an ideal accent material. The color is made up of the deep reds and terracotta oranges found in the Northeast — however, we mix in white tones and blackened “soot stained" pieces as a result of fire damage and natural weathering.

Dimensions: 2 3/8″ x 7 1/2″ – 8 1/4″ x 1/2″

Our Antique Grey thin brick is a great blend if you are looking for a darker grey blend. As gray clay is most readily found in the southwest region of China along the banks of the Yangtze River, Stone Farm has partnered with reclamation teams in that area to bring this new product to America. Not recommended for floor applications.

Dimensions: 2 3/8″ x 8″ – 9 " x 1/2″

Our New England Mill Blend Floor Tile is cut from the same bricks as our New England Mill Blend wall veneer. The difference is that we cut the top of the brick (rather than the face). As this is where the mortar lay, you can get more 'whites/greys'. The larger surface area is more consistent with traditional brick floors.

Dimensions: 3 1/2" x 7 3/4"-8 1/2" x 1/2"

Swatches of our thin brick veneer are one thing, but this timeless material really comes to life when installed. Light and mortar choices have a huge effect on how this "perfectly imperfect" brick brings life to a space. From breweries to offices, kitchens to foyers, man caves to bathrooms... we probably have a picture!

Why add a different paint color, when you can add history! With brick veneer you can add rich texture and design in any room as an accent wall. Looking to make a statement in your house - adding an old brick wall will do the trick. The best part is that our reclaimed thin brick veneer is cut to 1/2" thick, so you don't need a structural wall to obtain the look.

A splash of history and color for kitchens. Interior brick veneer backsplashes add color, texture and dimension to a room. As our thin brick tile is cut to only 1/2" thickness, you can install the material just like any other backsplash tile. If red is not the look you want, our vicerage grey thin brick veneer is becoming our most popular choice for kitchen backsplashes. Click here to see our Reclaimed Brick Color Options.

Typically sourced throughout the Northeast, these cobbles are named after our first reclamation that came from the old streets of Boston. We still harvest in this area today. Often quarried from multiple locations, this material offers a unique range of color, from weathered grays to tan with underlying earth tones. This warm patina, combined with a worn, smooth texture that only time can develop, provide a look not found with new materials.

The worn patina and subtle colors and textures of Antique Cobblestones speak of a rich, timeless history.  Whether harvested directly from an old street or town in America, to a quaint village in Europe, these cobblestones have a story to tell and a history to be discovered and preserved.

Sizing
The size and shape of Reclaimed Cobblestone Pavers are instrumental in determining the design or layout.  For example, achieving the classic running bond pattern is easier with rectangles, while squares and cubes offer more flexibility in design and are more suited for fan type patterns.

Thickness

  • Full Bed - approximately 6"- 7"

  • Half Bed - approximately 2.5"- 3.5" ( European Only )

  • Sliced - approximately 1.25"- 2.25" ( European Only )

Thickness is primarily determined by both the installation method and type of use.  A full bed cobble might be more suited to a dry-laid motor court, whereas a sliced cobble might be the perfect fit for a walkway set in a mortar bed.

Colors/Origins
The type of stone determines the color of Reclaimed Cobblestones.  The effects of wear and tear enhance the overall look by adding new color tones over time, adding that magical patina that makes this material so unique.  Colors range from classic New England earthy salt and pepper to the deep blues, reds and greens of Belgian Porphyry.

Rated 5 based on 1 product reviews

Belgian Porphyry is referred to as “the Belgian block" and is known for its exceptional hardness and durability. These stones were incredibly fashionable during the 19th and early 20th century and were commonly used in well-known city centers of affluence including Champs-Elysees in Paris, various New York City Avenues and Saint Petersburg in Russia. These cobbles offer beautiful combinations of coloring; green-brown, brown-rusty, green-blue, rusty-red and blue. Shapes include both squares and rectangles.

Belgian Sandstone is a very hard and resistant sandstone cobble quarried in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in the Walloon region of Belgium. This cobblestone offers a generally smooth and well-worn top face. Colors vary from brown over grey to earthy green as well as lavender. Colors in cobblestones contained within a specific batch offer similar characteristics.

Whether breaking up an asphalt driveway, or creating scale for a large stone cobblestone driveway, implementing stone borders or inlays do the trick. 

Cobblestone aprons have become very popular over the past two decades as it is often the first area people see as they enter your property.  For classic and antique homes, reclaimed cobblestones tend to complement the property. 

For a bigger statement, people are now using our paving grade curbing as either or both an apron, or for borders and inlays.

"Modern Rustic" combines modern design styles with rustic finishes to create pleasing lineal landscaping elements that retain the warmth and richness of historic materials. For customers looking to balance their interest in green energy and materials, reclaimed stone offers the double-bonus of being "reused" with a look that can gives depth to the clean, striking lines and finishes of modern architecture.

Granite. The word alone implies durability and an immovable solidity. It's been used in building for thousands of years worldwide, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Wall of China, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art! We've salvaged thousands of square feet of granite paving and curbing for use in patios, walkways, driveways and other paving projects.

Our granite planks & squares feature two top finishes. A rougher, chiseled bush hammered surface, or a more even flat/sawn surface. Both are beautiful and work well with each other to create interesting textural patterns and contrasts.

Reclaimed granite curbing makes a great enhancement to a landscape project. Stone Farm has many products that are created from curbing.

Typical Dimensions
Curbing comes in a variety of dimensions and lengths, we typically see this material in the following dimensions:

Junior Curbing: 4-6" x 9-12" x 24-48" lengths
Standard Curbing: 6-8" x 16-18" x 3'- 8'+ lengths

Rated 5 based on 1 product reviews

Granite has been used as curbing for over 100 years. The first generation of curb was primarily made with hand tools, which is why the resulting material has a hand-hewn, almost natural look and feel. In the last 50 years, curbing has been produced in a more mechanized fashion, resulting in a more uniform look and feel.

Rated 5 based on 1 product reviews

Like so many different granite products, reclaimed and salvaged curbing comes from a variety of quarries creating many color variations. In general, curbing is made from gray granites that range from lighter colors to almost charcoal.  Years of wear, combined with exposure to natural elements, gives this material its earth tone color palette. Ask us what colors are available for specific applications.

Hammering large pieces of granite into building blocks has been a part of New England's history for hundreds of years.  These blocks were used to build railroad trestles, bridges, sea walls, cellar foundations and as the walls of many early American industrial buildings.  As these structures are retired from service, Stone Farm harvests their beautiful blocks and re-purposes them for many different applications.

The sizes and weights of these large stone wall blocks make them ideal when building a retaining wall or sea wall. Sometimes their shapes also lends itself naturally to not only act as a retaining wall, but as a seat wall. It is becoming more common to see individual pieces scattered throughout parks and rail trails, serving as a perfect stone bench!

Most of the granite block we harvest today originates from one of the numerous granite quarries scattered throughout New England.  Through years of weathering, these quarries produced granite in various shades of gray, blended with underlying earth tones.  Combined with a slightly rough, split face, textured surface, the end result is a unique color palette that can't be replicated elsewhere.

Granite Stone Wall Blocks were fabricated in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Throughout New England you may notice blocks ranging from 18-24" tall by 2'-8' long.  These dimensionally shaped blocks often originate from railroad and bridge piers.  Cellars were often constructed from more semi-dimensional material; blocks with varied heights and lengths.  Stone Farm harvests and sorts this material to these various dimensions.

Located right outside Boston, the Charlestown Bridge was one of two extremely unusual swing bridges in Boston. The city decided the best way to address these rare old landmarks was to remove them. The bridge was constructed in 1905 making it a 115 year old bridge!

Stone veneer is made from natural stone found throughout the world. Unlike modern stone veneer which is typically quarried and freshly fabricated, we scour the country looking for old buildings which were built using stone veneer in the past. Each load of stone veneer we bring into our yard tells a story and ultimately—once reused—restores a piece of history as it is put to a new use.

We salvage stone veneer across the country from places as varied as old factory buildings and historic churches.

When we heard the church of St. Josephs in the Bronx being dismantled we couldn't help but try to salvage as much as we could. The church of St. Josephs was built c. 1873 from stone quarried in the local area. The stone consists of squares and rectangles with roughly a 80/20 mix of granite and marble. This truly unique stone veneer has beautiful colors, from dark and light greys to light creamy whites.
