Techo-Bloc Products

The World Leader in Product Development
Techo-Bloc was founded in 1989 with the goal of designing and manufacturing hardscaping products such as paving stones, retaining wall systems, and masonry stones that blend more seamlessly and harmoniously with the natural environment. With innovations in both design and application, Techo-Bloc has transformed science into art, elevating paving stones and masonry products from ordinary to elegant.

For nearly two decades, Techo-Bloc’s product development has been committed to beautifying the continent one landscape at a time. Today, our locations include three facilities in Canada and a new state-of-the-art plant in Pennsylvania, with each locale continuing this commitment to creativity and quality. Techo-Bloc is paving our way across North America affordably and artistically.

Timeline:

Techo-Bloc has changed the face of an industry with our expertise and excellence in product development, recording more than a dozen patents. Here is just a sample of our groundbreaking achievements:

1995-1996: Techo-Bloc introduces the world’s first tumbled interlocking retaining-wall system, Creta (Patent #2,114,677). In addition, we create the industry’s first pre-cast antiqued curbstone, Pietra, as well as Tetra paving stone, North America’s first tumbled jumbo-size paving stone.

1997: The world’s first commercial replica of ancient cobblestone, the Allegro, is introduced (Patent #2,214,295).

1998: Our Belgik curbstone becomes the first manufactured replica of authentic Belgian block.

1999: Elena, the first modular paving stone to be offered in one single pallet, is engineered and marketed.

2001: Techo-Bloc renders the existing method of drum-tumbling obsolete with new technology that prevents product breakage, eliminates the time-consuming sorting of stones, and eradicates the cement slurry from the pavers’ surfaces. This revolutionary technique results in a product unsurpassed in quality, beauty, and durability.

2002: With the introduction of Quarry Stone, Techo-Bloc offers the world its first retaining wall with the look of hand-chiseled, handcrafted stone (Patent #2,392,934).

2004: Techo-Bloc brings our Canadian innovations to the United States. The world’s most sophisticated and technologically advanced paving stone and retaining wall production plant opens in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania.

2005: Techo-Bloc produces the first rugged, high-relief paving stone Santorini. With its strategically accentuated elevations and impressions, this paver provides a bold, hand-hewn look, enhancing any landscape design.

2006: Techo-Bloc presents Monumental Blok, a breakthrough in retaining wall technology. Monumental Blok offers a sculpted, handcrafted appearance while making a bold, strong statement in any landscape. Thanks to Techo-Bloc’s special anchoring system, the stones are simply set into place with a backhoe or small dozer. Monumental Blok allows you to build walls up to twelve feet high without the use of geogrid. Roughly the same size as a dozen Mini-Creta, Monumental Blok provides you with significant savings on installation costs.

As Techo-Bloc enters the last years of this century’s first decade, we invite you to enjoy not only the quality, beauty, and dependability forged in the years past, but to experience the excitement and excellence of the years to come.
