Four decades of shaping the way Southern California builds outdoor spaces — one paver at a time.
A Partnership Four Decades in the Making
Since the mid-1980s, Ackerstone has been at the forefront of the interlocking paving stone market in the United States. That’s nearly forty years of innovation, refinement, and quiet, consistent leadership — and you can see it in every patio, driveway, walkway, and pool deck their products are part of.
But for us, Ackerstone isn’t just a vendor on a list. They’re one of our most active partners — and one of the four featured brands in our Design Studio. We work hand-in-hand with their team on spec, install support, color matching, and project planning. When a contractor specs Ackerstone through us, they’re getting both companies pulling in the same direction.
Why Pros Keep Coming Back
It’s no accident that contractors and designers ask for Ackerstone by name. A few reasons:
How They Get the Color Right
Here’s something most people don’t realize about pavers: the color you see isn’t paint. It isn’t a coating. It isn’t going to fade off the surface in three summers.
Ackerstone uses a color technology that integrates pigment directly into the concrete itself, so the color is the paver — top, bottom, and all the way through. The result: durability that matches the paver’s structural lifespan (decades, not years), color consistency from lot to lot, and a finished install that holds its look through California sun, traffic, and weather.
It’s a quiet differentiator that contractors notice on the back end — fewer callbacks, fewer “why does it look different now” conversations, and a hardscape that ages the way the homeowner expected.
A Few Best Sellers Worth Knowing
Here’s a starter list of Ackerstone products that move quickly through our yard — and that you can see (and touch) in our Design Studio:
Palermo Cobblestone (Best Seller)
A timeless cobblestone aesthetic with the durability and installation efficiency of a modern interlocking paver. Palermo Cobblestone is one of our top sellers for a reason — it makes a driveway look custom and a walkway look architectural.
Paseo Grande
Large-format, clean lines, contemporary. Paseo Grande is what you spec when the design calls for restraint and proportion. A favorite for modern pool surrounds and entry courtyards.
The smaller-scale companion to Paseo Grande. Same clean modern look, scaled for patios, accents, and tighter design moments.
Palermo
The slab version of the Palermo family. Refined, versatile, and easy to layout.
Holland I
A classic. Holland is the workhorse of the paver world, and Ackerstone’s version is built to the standard you’d expect — clean tolerances, dependable colorways, and a profile that works on residential and commercial jobs alike.
Aqua-Via I
A permeable paver designed to manage stormwater while still looking sharp. Increasingly relevant for California projects with water-management requirements — and a great answer when a homeowner asks “but what about runoff?”
