There is an exciting new product line at PBM – Techo-Bloc is now part of our lineup!
If you haven’t come across them before, Techo-Bloc is known for clean, modern styles that still hold up over time. It’s a solid option whether you’re updating your own backyard, designing a space for a client, or working on a full build.
If you’re planning a patio, walkway, driveway, or outdoor living space, the material you choose is going to set the tone for everything else. So here’s a quick look at the first Techo-Bloc products we’re carrying, and how to think about which one might be right for your project.
Why People Like Techo-Bloc
Outdoor spaces have been trending more modern lately: simpler lines, bigger pieces, smoother finishes. That’s exactly where Techo-Bloc fits in.
These are the kinds of materials that can make a backyard feel more connected to the home instead of like a separate space. Something that feels finished, not just functional.
They’re built to last and perform well, and Techo-Bloc has a wide range of options like permeable paving lines, driveway pavers, and unique patio slabs; any project need is covered.
Blu 60 HD2 Smooth
Available in 6×13 and combo patterns, this is a really versatile option. It gives you that clean, modern look without going too large, so it works well in patios, walkways, and general outdoor areas. It’s also durable enough to be used in driveways or other spaces that need to handle vehicle traffic.
Blu 80 HD2 Smooth
Very similar style, just a bit heavier in feel. It’s a good choice if you want something that looks a little more structured and substantial. Like Blu 60, it’s suitable for driveways and areas with vehicle traffic, and it can also be installed as a permeable system, which is a great option if drainage is a priority.
Eva Smooth Combo
If you want some variation in your layout but still want to keep things modern, Eva is a nice middle ground. It adds interest without feeling too busy, making it a great option for patios, walkways, and other outdoor living spaces. It’s also suitable for driveways and areas that need to handle vehicle traffic, giving you both style and durability.
Industria HD2 Smooth (24×36)
This one is all about scale. The larger format makes it great for patios or entertaining spaces where you want that more high-end, architectural look.
Para HD2 Smooth
Available in 10×20 and 20×30, Para gives you more flexibility with layouts. It’s easy to work into different designs while still keeping everything looking clean and cohesive.
Sleek HD2 Smooth (16×32)
Longer, more linear, and definitely modern. This one works really well if you’re going for a minimal or more contemporary style. It’s a great option for patios and walkways, but it’s also suitable for driveways and other areas that need to handle vehicle traffic, giving you that clean look without sacrificing durability.
How to Choose the Right One
Finding the right paver or patio hardscape selection comes down to a few simple things:
Your space
Larger areas can handle bigger slabs like Industria. Smaller spaces or walkways tend to look better with something like Blu or Eva.
Your style
If you’re leaning more modern, Industria, Para, and Sleek are great options. If you want something modern but a little more flexible, Blu 60, Blu 80, or Eva are easier to work with.
Scale and layout
Bigger slabs can make a space feel more open and higher-end. Smaller or combo patterns can add a bit more texture and movement.
How everything ties together
Our pavers are just one piece of the overall design, so it’s essential to consider how they’ll integrate with the rest of the space. Consider how they’ll look alongside your home, landscaping, retaining walls, steps, and any other outdoor features. It’s also important to think about how the space will actually be used. Materials for a backyard patio or walkway may be different from what you’d want for a driveway or anywhere that needs to handle vehicle traffic. Choosing the right product means finding something that not only looks good, but also makes sense for the function of the space.

Why It Helps to See Them in Person
Photos are helpful, but they don’t always show the full picture. Color, texture, and size can feel really different when you’re standing in front of them.
The best way to get a full sense of the product and how it will look in your space is to see it in person. At our Mountain View showroom, you can see everything up close, compare options, and talk things through if you’re not sure what direction to go. We can also help with things like layout ideas, color choices, and lead times.
Our expert staff can help you decide exactly what works best for you and your project!
