Brick Pavers

Brick's Brief History

Often referred to as one of the world's oldest professions, brick making is estimated to date back to early Mesopotamia, possibly as far as 10,000 years ago. Clay from deposits around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers was mixed with straw, shaped into brick units and sun dried.

Through time, brick's popularity as a building material grew as it demonstrated the ability to withstand the harsh elements of nature and fire. As the use of brick flourished, the practice of sun drying was replaced with kiln drying and eventually kiln firing. From its humble beginnings, brick making has evolved into a thriving industry with state-of-the-art brick making equipment and kilning.

Today, paver brick is manufactured in almost every color and can be made in a myriad of shapes and sizes from brick pavers, load bearing and decorative full-bed brick veneer to adhered thin brick. In addition, many accessory shapes are made for special situations.

Throughout history, pavers (the original green building product) have withstood the test of time more than any other building material. You can use pavers with confidence for your next purchase because today's brick is better than ever.

Small Brick Paver Roller Anderson Asphalt is no "Johnny Come Lately," having been in business for over forty years. We stand behind our product, and always will. Being the oldest paving company on Florida's Gulf Coast, experience has taught us that no matter what the top surface is (asphalt, concrete or pavers), the base is the key factor to long-lasting surfaces. At Anderson, we know base! That's why we use our 5 ton vibratory roller. No other paver-brick company in the area has this big of a roller. They use hand-held compactors instead. In the long run, it pays to spend a little extra, put down a good base, use quality materials and professional equipment.
