Belgian Block & Curbing in Brick, NJ

Belgian Block & Curbing for Brick homes

Brick's bay and river neighborhoods need hardscape built for sand, high water tables and salt air — plus new steps and walkways for homes raised after Sandy.

Built for Brick ground

Much of Brick sits on sandy soil. Sand drains quickly, which helps under belgian block & curbing, but it doesn't hold its shape on its own. We compact the subgrade before any stone goes in, build the base in lifts and lock every edge with restraint, so the surface doesn't spread at the sides or dip where people walk and drive.

Belgian block is the granite curbing you see on so many New Jersey streets and driveways. It gives a hard, clean edge that stands up to tires and snowplows and makes a plain asphalt or concrete driveway look finished.

Where we use it

• Driveway edges and aprons. It protects the driveway’s edge from crumbling and gives it a clean line.
• Sidewalks and lawns. It separates hardscape from grass, as in the sidewalk project on this page.
• Garden beds. It’s a durable border that won’t rot or heave like plastic or wood edging.

How it’s set

Each block is set in a concrete base, aligned to a string line, and backed with concrete on the soil side. That’s what keeps a curb line straight after years of plowing.
