Valet Pavers

Pavers

Valet is a square paver with a basalt-inspired texture that adds both luxury and character to outdoor design. Inspired by the rugged look of natural lava rock, it brings a bold, tactile surface that enhances driveways, patios, walkways, and mosaics with timeless elegance.

  • Style/Design – Valet captures the essence of basalt stone in a refined square format, perfect for pavements, decorative mosaics, or bold banding.

  • Durability/Performance – Constructed from dense dry-cast concrete, it supplies lasting stability for high-use surfaces.

  • Texture Options – Offered in a distinctive basalt texture that highlights its volcanic-inspired look.

  • Color Options – Available in Shale Grey, Onyx Black, Chestnut Brown, and Champlain Grey. Contrasting shades can be combined for striking design effects.

  • Size Options – Comes in a square unit of 2 3/8 x 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 for precise layouts and easy integration with other pavers.

  • Applications – Ideal for driveways, patios, walkways, and courtyards, as well as intricate mosaics and accent borders.

  • Year-Round Durability – Valet resists salt, survives freeze-thaw cycles, and retains its finish season after season.

  • Warranty – Protected by a transferable lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

Valet goes beyond function to deliver visual richness and design versatility. Its square basalt-inspired shape can stand alone for full-surface pavements or serve as an accent piece in larger layouts. Unlike traditional concrete, it offers a refined edge with a bold, tactile feel. Contrasting colors such as Shale Grey and Onyx Black can be paired to create dramatic borders, mosaics, and feature areas with a custom touch. Perfect for modern or traditional settings, Valet adapts seamlessly to driveways, patios, walkways, and courtyards while maintaining lasting strength and low maintenance. A transferable lifetime warranty ensures it performs as beautifully as it looks.

View Technical Documentation

Are Valet pavers suitable for driveways, patios, walkways and pool decks?

Yes, Valet pavers are listed for driveways, patios, gardens, pool decks and permeable applications when installed on the proper base.

Are Valet pavers safe around pools or wet areas?

Yes, Valet pavers are listed for pool deck applications. Keep the surface clean and use proper slope for drainage.

Are Valet pavers frost and salt resistant?

Yes, Valet pavers are designed to resist freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salt exposure. The residential warranty covers abnormal surface deterioration caused by rock salt on pavers, slabs and steps, excluding Wet Cast products unless stated otherwise.

Do Valet pavers need sealing?

Sealing Valet pavers is optional. A compatible protectant can help with stain resistance and surface care, but it is not required for structural performance.

Can Valet pavers be used for borders or mosaics?

Yes, Valet pavers can be used for full surfaces, accent borders, checkerboard layouts and mosaic-style designs. The square format works well with contrasting colours.

What base thickness is recommended for Valet pavers?

For patios and walkways, use 4 to 6 in (100 to 150 mm) of compacted 0 to 3/4 in (0 to 20 mm) crushed stone on sandy or gravelly soils, or 6 to 8 in (150 to 200 mm) on clayey or silty soils. For driveways, use 6 to 10 in (150 to 250 mm) on sandy or gravelly soils, or 8 to 14 in (200 to 350 mm) on clayey or silty soils.

What jointing sand should be used for Valet pavers?

Use polymeric jointing sand for standard Valet installations.

What edge restraints are recommended for Valet pavers?

Use plastic, aluminum, steel or concrete edge restraints anchored into the compacted base. In vehicular applications, curbstones set in mortar must be reinforced with steel rods.

Can sand-filled Valet pavers be installed on an open-graded base?

Yes, Valet pavers can be used in permeable pavement applications when designed with the proper open-graded base and joint material. See the spec sheet for the joint width, surface opening and infiltration rate to design against.

Can Valet pavers be installed over concrete?

Yes, over sound concrete only, with a suitable overlay detail, drainage path and edge restraint. The concrete slab must be stable, properly sloped and free of major cracking.

Can Valet pavers be installed on a slope?

Yes, with proper excavation and drainage. Techo-Bloc's paver guide recommends a 1.5% slope, equal to 3/16 in per ft.

How should Valet pavers be compacted during installation?

Use a plate compactor with a urethane mat to reduce scuffing on the basalt-textured surface.

What borders or lighting complement Valet pavers?

Valet can act as its own border by changing colour or pattern direction. Low-voltage paver lighting can be integrated by coring or by planning conduit before final jointing.

Small-format square cobblestone

A single 6 1/2 in (165 mm) square unit repeats into the fine, close-set grid of old street cobble. The Basalt texture gives each unit a quarried face rather than a flat cast surface.

Rain-friendly permeable option

Valet is listed as a permeable paver. Installed as part of a permeable pavement system, its wide joints let rainwater pass through the surface instead of running off it.

Rated for the residential driveway

Valet is rated for residential vehicular use, so the same cobble can run from the driveway through to the front walkway without a change in scale.

What can you build with Valet pavers?

Driveways

A driveway in Valet reads as a courtyard rather than a parking spot. The small square repeats all the way to the garage door, and the checkerboard layout lets you set a border or a centre panel without bringing in a second product.

Patios

On a patio, the close-set squares keep the eye moving and make a modest space feel considered. Furniture sits flat on the surface, and the fine grid works as well under a dining table as it does around a fire bowl.

Valet Paver

Pool decks

Around a pool, the textured face keeps its grip underfoot and the tight joints give a clean edge to work the coping against. A lighter tone is the easier choice for a deck people cross barefoot in full sun.

Valet Paver

Walkways

A walkway in Valet holds its line around curves and steps because the unit is small enough to follow the path instead of fighting it. The same cobble carries from the driveway to the front door in one continuous surface.

Valet Paver

Accent borders and mosaic details

Valet is small enough to work as detail. Run it as a border around a field of larger pavers, set a checkerboard panel at an entry, or play two tones against each other to draw a mosaic that marks where the patio ends and the garden begins.
