Reclaimed Medina Curbing

Shortly after Medina stone was discovered during construction on the Erie Canal, its popularity exploded for paving and construction. When we reclaim Medina curbing, we find it in stunning shades of brown, tan, gray and red.

In many Northeast cities, including Cleveland and Syracuse, you can still see historic Medina curbing on roadways — even if its been updated with modern paving. For more on the heritage of this recovered material, check out the history section.

Our customers create one-of-a-kind features around their homes and businesses with old curbing. Many use it for its original purpose, as edging around walkways, driveways, patios and more. You can also build steps and retaining walls, or lay it on its side to design fireplaces and other unique projects. Contact us today to discuss your needs and our current inventory.

Curbing as Rustic Steps

You can create steps from salvaged curbing that has a relatively flat face and top. Just lay the curb on its side, creating a step tread with all the character of a stone carved a century ago.

Curbing as Paving Stones

Curbing with one relatively flat side can be laid down as large pavers to create patios, driveways and walkways. The joint between the slabs can be straight and tight for a more formal look, or wider and rough for a more rustic appearance.

Curbing as Retaining Walls

When laid flat and stacked, curbing makes great retaining walls up to 10 feet high and provides many design options. The curb may be dry stacked, pinned together, battered or mortared. To create a clean look, expose the finished tops. For rustic appeal, expose the bottoms — or try a combination of both for a beautiful variation in texture.

Curbing as… Curbing!

Of course, the antique curbing we recover can be used as curbing again. It also works well for an edge restraint for steps, raised garden beds or stone path edging.
