Worked with a general contractor and architect for complete property landscaping with swimming pool, outdoor pavillion with kitchen, bar, fireplace, etc. From general contractor's recommendation, selected Aberdeen large format pavers - looks gorgeous in the product magazine with hydrangea plantings. Within 1.5 years, Aberdeen white sandy large format turned to pea green soup color with a slimy, clay-like underfoot. Techo-Bloc manager, then regional manager, then Mid-Atlantic manager, etc. came by several times over the cours of several months. Finally told us through general contractor that the original Aberdeen pavers may not have been shipped correctly. Found out later that the Aberdeen product is made by coating a layer over concrete slab and then fired in a kiln. Not firing enough results in the product they sold us. Techo Bloc would not honor the warranty, except to say that they would replace but only if we selected their cheapest small format pavers. We went with the general contractors recommendation to "go with it." They used the cheapest installer, then didn't finish around the pool area. Had to hire pool company to finish the caulking around the pool. The small format pavers had so much sand - it became a nuisance. Lost 2 pool seasons because of this. Got fed up with these pavers and replaced the entire pool deck, outdoor kitchen and outdoor paver areas with porcelain tiles. Should have done this from the beginning. Found out later that general contractors make a fortune from selling pavers. Save yourself a lot of headache and maintenance and install outdoor porcelain tiles - slip resistant, impervious to weather, easy to clean and maintain - and no sand on your feet.
