COBBLESTONE EXCAVATION & REUSE SERVICES
Sustainable Cobblestone Reuse in the Hudson Valley & NYC
If you’re wondering how to dispose of old cobblestones, Belgian blocks, or granite setts, there’s a better alternative than dumping or crushing them.
At Chief Bricks, we specialize in cobblestone reuse and reclamation, preserving historic stone materials while reducing demolition waste across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and surrounding areas.
Instead of sending cobblestones to a recycling facility where they are crushed for fill, we carefully recover, sort, and reuse them for new streetscapes, driveways, walkways, and historic restoration projects.
This approach protects the character, durability, and long-term value of these timeless materials.
How Cobblestone Excavation & Reuse Works
1. Send us pictures
Share pictures of the pile of cobblestones and we'll confirm what we can take.
2. Bring us the stones
We'll palletize them on the spot and pay you per stone.
Or leave everything on-site
Let us know where the materials are located and how many you have. We'll arrange pickup.
This process helps contractors, homeowners, and property owners find a responsible solution for used cobblestone disposal.
What We Do With Used Cobblestones
Chief Bricks is not a traditional recycling center. Our focus is on reuse, the most sustainable form of material recycling.
When cobblestones are suitable, we:
- Sort and grade them by size, color, and stone type
- Clean stones and remove excess mortar or setting material
- Reintroduce them into architectural, landscape, and infrastructure projects
Cobblestones that cannot be reused are responsibly diverted whenever possible to minimize landfill impact.

Why Reuse Cobblestones Instead of Disposing of Them?
- Cash & savings - Save on dumping fees, and turn demolition material into cash.
- Environmental Benefits – Reduces landfill waste and avoids unnecessary stone crushing
- Extreme Durability – Many reclaimed cobblestones have already lasted 100+ years

Reusing cobblestones preserves history while meeting modern performance and sustainability standards.
