A New Set of Legos!

One of my favorite toys growing up was Legos. I loved the kits and themes they offered; their designs were amazing. And best of all, you did not have to follow the instructions, you could just make up anything you wanted so long as you had all the pieces. I am lucky to have a daughter that was equally as interested in Legos as well. She was young when she started, so I had to make many of the initial kits for her which gave me an excuse to play with these bricks once again. As a child, I always remember getting so excited around Christmas when I would pick up a box, and you could hear the pieces parts rustling in the box knowing that was going to be a great gift for sure! I am slightly older since the Lego days, but here I am still playing with bricks and blocks. And just like before, I am excited to announce that I have a brand new shiny set of Legos to play with: Techo-Bloc!

Techo-Bloc was founded by Charles Ciccarello back in 1989, starting the company with only 5 employees. Now, 34 years later with over half a dozen state-of-the-art factories throughout North America, they are one of the top manufacturers of pavers, wall stones, steps, and curbs. Most of the products that Techo-Bloc produce have a modern design to them and tend to lean toward neutral earth tones and colors. This has been a growing trend over the last few years, and I do not expect that to change for several more years. Colors such as reds and oranges have been phasing slowly out as well as circle and curved designs.

We hinted at this new addition in the mid to late summer of last year. We were testing the waters with some of Techo-Bloc’s accessories such as their Flexlock polymeric sand and Gator sealers and cleaners. We were planning on bringing the pavers and wall stones in over the winter, but due to the immediate demand for some of their more popular items, we decided to get a head start.

We are starting out with Techo-Bloc’s most popular paver, the 60mm Blu HD2 in both smooth and slate texture in the Chestnut Brown, Greyed Nickel, Shale Grey, and Champlain Grey. We are stocking the 3 pc Slab series, but we can special order the Grande and the 6”x13” pieces if your job requires them.

We are stocking Techo-Bloc’s Raffinato and Brandon wall series in both the 90mm and 180mm sized pieces. You can find the Beige Cream and Greyed Nickel in the Raffinato wall, and the Champlain Grey, Shale Grey, and Oynx Black in the Brandon wall. There is also Brandon and Raffinato wall caps in stock, too. We will also be carrying some of the Raffinato Steps.

We will continue to add and adjust the products stocked as the demand grows and changes. I expect a truckload of products from Techo-Bloc to arrive weekly, so please ask us about special order items, or concerns for your larger-sized projects. We can check into Techo-Bloc’s online inventory and help you know what, when, and where the status of your material is.

I do not get to play with the blocks like all our contractors do, but I do enjoy watching how they use them! I hope to see the enjoyment that you will have through the successful pictures of your beautifully created projects. And don’t worry, if you happen to lose that one piece you really needed, give us a call. I have a salesman with bare feet that will find it for you in a painful moment!
