Upgrade Your Outdoor Space with Unilock Tribeca Cobble™ Pavers

What is Hardscaping, and Why Does It Matter?

When it comes to designing your dream backyard, softscaping (plants, flowers, and lawns) gets a lot of attention. But what about the foundation that brings it all together? That’s where hardscaping comes in. Walkways, patios, driveways—these elements create structure and functionality, making your outdoor space not just beautiful but also usable year-round. A well-planned hardscape can add value to your home, enhance curb appeal, and make outdoor living easier to maintain.

One of the best ways to upgrade your outdoor space is with high-quality pavers, and that’s where Unilock Tribeca Cobble™ comes in.


Meet Tribeca Cobble™: A Durable, Stylish Paver

Unilock’s Tribeca Cobble™ pavers are designed to give homeowners the classic look of natural granite cobblestones without the hassle of working with irregularly shaped stones. These pavers are precision-cut, making installation easier and faster while maintaining the rustic charm of old-world cobblestones.

With their granite and quartz particles embedded into the surface, Tribeca Cobble™ pavers shine beautifully in the sunlight and are made to last for decades. Whether you’re creating a stunning driveway, a welcoming front walkway, or a cozy backyard patio, these pavers will elevate your outdoor space.


How Can You Use Tribeca Cobble™ in Your Yard?

Tribeca Cobble™ is versatile enough to be used in several ways around your home:

  • Driveway: Give your home a sophisticated, European-style driveway that can handle heavy traffic without losing its charm.

  • Pool Decks & Borders: Frame your pool or outdoor seating areas with these durable, slip-resistant pavers.

How to Install Tribeca Cobble™ Pavers

If you’re a DIYer, here’s a step-by-step guide to installing your Tribeca Cobble™ pavers. If you’re working on a large project or unsure about proper drainage and base preparation, consider hiring a professional.

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  • Excavate the area to at least 8-10 inches deep to ensure a strong foundation.
  • Lay a DriveGrid™ stabilization grid between the subgrade and base material.
  • Add and compact 6-8 inches of 3/4″ Crusher Run gravel for a standard base or a permeable base option with clear open-graded stone.

Step 2: Add the Bedding Layer

  • For a standard base, screed 1 inch of coarse sand over the compacted base.
  • For a permeable base, use 1 inch of 1/4″ clear chip stone instead of sand.

Step 3: Lay the Pavers

  • Start at a fixed point and follow the recommended laying pattern for a natural look.
  • Use edge restraints to keep pavers from shifting over time.

Step 4: Fill the Joints

  • Use polymeric sand for added stability and weed prevention.
  • Sweep the sand into the joints and use a plate compactor with a protective pad to settle the pavers in place.

Step 5: Seal (Optional)

  • Apply a paver sealer to enhance color and protect against stains.

Why Homeowners Love Tribeca Cobble™

  • Durability: Made with EnduraColor™ technology, the pavers resist fading and stand up to harsh weather.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The granite-inspired look brings timeless beauty to any outdoor space.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike natural cobblestones, these pavers fit together seamlessly, making them easier to clean and maintain.
  • Eco-Friendly: The permeable application option helps with water drainage and sustainability.

How to Choose the Right Hardscape Products

When shopping for pavers, keep these tips in mind:

  • Check the material quality. High-density, color-retaining pavers will last longer.
  • Consider the size and pattern. Tribeca Cobble™ comes in varied sizes for a natural look.
  • Plan for extra materials. Buy 5-10% more than needed to account for cuts and future repairs.
  • Don’t skimp on base preparation. A solid foundation ensures a long-lasting installation.
