They provide a free contracter referral service
too - from garden design to complete
landscaping packages! That's because owner
has developed solid
relationships with many reliable contractors
over the 12 years Bricks ‘n Blocks has been in
business. .

“We are the place where all the contractors buy.
And because of that we are able to refer our

customers to the contractors we feel can do
the best job for them. From the smallest to the
largest gardening project. we can refer
someone to dco the job for you. Our
knowledgeable staff are always on hand to give
you advice and our in-store dispiays will reaily
get your creative juices flowing!”

Graham says his displays anc personal service
make a huge difference to his customers.
“When you come into our store, you won't just
see a pallet of paving stones in a dusty
warehouse. We have retaining walls and
complete landscaped patios built over two full
acres of yard space. Even running fountains!
We're not just showing you a Slock or two. Our
customers can see the colours arid feel the
textures of all our pavers and retaining wails.
They're not just buying from a picture in a
catalogue.”

At Bricks ‘n Blocks, the store itself is a catalogue.
Customers can choose from literally hundreds
of styles and colours cf interlocking paving
stones alone. Romanpave, one of their newer
Styles, is proving to be quite popular this year.

don't want to trek from store to store to get
their garden projects going.

For thase on a budget, several thousand pallets
of exposed aggregate seconds are always on
hand. These high quality patio slabs have very
small blemishes and are being sald at half the
price of first Quality exposed aggregate.

With their fantastic selection and service it’s not
surprising that Bricks 'n Blocks had to move a
few years ago from their Main and Mountain
Highway store to a bigger location. “We live on
the wrong side of the tracks now,” says Graham.

They may be hidden away, but in termsof ae
driving distance, their new location is much -
more convenient. Located at 1274 Mckeen
Avenue, Bricks 'n Blocks is just around the corner
from the AirCare. Go to the foot of Pemberton,
then over the railway tracks. Turn right and you'll
find them about two blacks along.

“We'd like to invite everyone to come and visit us
on our 12th anniversary,” says Craham. “Bricks ‘n
Blocks has virtually everything that isn’t growing to
do with your garden. We'd love to help you design
the garden project that’s just right for you.”
