They werent cheap and are super heavy so lots of work went into building a small wall at our cabin. Unfortunatley inside of a year they went from brown to mostly white. They say itd a chemical reaciton and the white was supposed to burn off with the sun but it's done the opposite and now just looks like white-ish concrete. I could have saved tons of money and bought split face blocks if this was the result. I've added pictures from their website and my little retianing wall as a warning. I emailed my supplier who agrees this is not right but the manufacturer says this is normal and I need to buy a chemical to apply multiple times a year to try to correct this and it's $60 a gallon. VERY DISSAPOINTED that Barkman false advertises their products and doesnt stand behind quality issues. **Comment from Barkman Concrete Ltd.:** > We understand that the colour change you’ve described is unexpected, and our quality assurance team is currently working closely with you to find a solution. Efflorescence, the white substance you're seeing, is a natural occurrence that can happen with concrete products due to the interaction between moisture and minerals. It will eventually go away on its own after a few months. > > We are committed to helping you resolve this issue as quickly as possible, and our team will continue to work directly with you to ensure that you’re satisfied with the outcome. Your feedback is important to us, and we take quality concerns seriously. **★ — HU-789750377, Oct. 2023** > Worse customer service and bad quality product. Product over priced with no warranty, not worth it, it is a rip off. **Comment from Barkman Concrete Ltd.:** > Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. > Could you please provide more details about your experience? Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. **★ — David Ripplinger, July 2020** > Run! > > More than a fourth of the pavers I purchased from a local Barkman retailer had no corners! Not a chip, no corners! > > I've never seen a worse pile of pavers. > > Four times the price a Menards pavers for unusable junk. > > I cannot believe that these pavers made it to a consumer. **Comment from Barkman Concrete Ltd.:** > Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your unfavorable experience with our products and we would like the opportunity to make this right.

A: Hi Greeneva, Ground preparation for Bridgewood is the same as the prep for any other Barkman slab. We recommend 4-6 inches of 3/4 limestone gravel followed by an inch of bedding sand. Here's the full set of instructions for slabs: Slab Installation Guide **Q: love these pavers !** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you share the pavers used here and the brand and color .

A: Hello, the Rosetta Grand Flagstone Slabs are in Fond du Lac, as well as the Belvedere Wall. Thanks. **Q: what colour is the cobble pavers in this photo?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are considering both the Sierra Grey and Ebony colour for our cobble pavers for our new home construction driveway but are not available to get to a store to see the colours in person so are leaving this colour decision to our designer. Would you be able to provide the colour in this photo as well as another driveway in cobble with the other colour(Sierra and Ebony) so we can have better idea of the true colour? Thank you! A: Hello. Thank you for considering our Cobble pavers for your home. The picture shows the driveway in Sierra Grey. The Ebony colour would be this: https://www.houzz.com/photos/cobble-driveway-rustic-phvw-vp~105372205 We hope this helps. **Q: Should I paint my siding, window trim and eaves or replace?** *(in Photo Questions)* We live in a beautiful home built in 1995. I love the design but hate the colours. Brick is pink with a grey band and everything else is light grey. I want to get everything (except the brick) painted a darker, more modern grey. Everything to be painted is in pretty good shape. I was quoted $9,000 to do the job. Company is called Spray Net. 15 year warranty. Should I go ahead and paint or replace? A: Hello. What you ask is not our area of expertise, but proceeding with either repainting or replacing your sidings is entirely up to you, which can be dependent on your budget. If you are to repaint, make sure to check your supplier reviews and previous projects. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
