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.

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™

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.
