Nicolock paving stones with Paver-Shield
Why the color holds
Nicolock pavers are made by a Lindenhurst company that has been building concrete paving stones for more than 50 years, now at plants on Long Island and in New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut. Nicolock sends buyers to a local dealer for pricing and availability, and all three Powerhouse yards (Roslyn Heights, Amityville and Huntington Station) are on its dealer list.
Its Paver-Shield process gives each paver an ultra-dense surface packed with more color, so the heavy aggregate underneath does not show as the paver wears. The iron oxide color runs top to bottom, and Nicolock guarantees it will not fade.
Nicolock paver collections and finishes
Riven, smooth, dimpled or clay
Start with the look, then check the vehicle rating before you fall for a stone. Nicolock’s standard paver is 2 3/8 inches thick.
- Stone Ridge: Stone Ridge mixes 4 1/2×9, 9×9 and 9×13 1/2 pieces in 19 colors and is rated for foot and vehicle traffic. Stone Ridge XL is for patios and walks only, and Stone Ridge Contemporary gives the layout a smooth face.
- Alpine Ridge: Alpine Ridge brings stones up to 15 5/8 x 23 1/2 inches with a natural cleft face, and Alpine Contemporary is the smooth version. Both are made for patios and walks.
- Old Vienna and Rustico: Old Vienna is a slim 2 3/8 x 7 1/2 brick with an antique clay look, safe for vehicles. Rustico has a slightly dimpled top with chamfered edges, and the Rustico circle kit lays out a 10 foot 4 inch circle.
- Holland Stone and brick styles: Holland Stone is the flat 4×8 classic in 14 colors. Ridge Brick adds a riven 4 1/2×9 face, and Cobblestone, a special order, is Nicolock’s pick for driveways.

Which pieces can take a car
Nicolock says a standard 2 3/8 inch paver handles cars and pickups when it is laid in a herringbone pattern over 8 to 12 inches of base.
- Rated for vehicles: Stone Ridge and Old Vienna, with Cobblestone suggested for driveways. Blue Ridge Contemporary also comes in a 3 1/8 inch (80mm) version made for vehicles.
- Patios and walks only: Stone Ridge XL, Alpine Ridge, Alpine Contemporary and Blue Ridge. Heritage Slab takes light-duty vehicle traffic and is built for walkways, rooftops and overlays.
Protect the warranty. Nicolock’s limited lifetime warranty covers structural integrity for residential use, for as long as you own the home, and it transfers to the next owner. Register it online with a proof of purchase upload, so keep the receipt from the yard. In winter, Nicolock recommends rock salt and says magnesium chloride or other chloride products will void the warranty.
