Pave it with porphyry – the best paving stone ever.

Porphyry, the hardest of granites, is without question the world’s best paving stone. The unique hardness and stunning colors of porphyry create the sensational driveways, public plazas or patios that last for centuries, even in searing heat and freezing winters, offering maintenance free performance year after year.

As US representatives for Global Porfido of Mexico, Porfido KERN Italy, Pasinato de Brazil and featuring our own signature Groundfloor range, Western Porphyry brings together the best porphyry range ever offered, anywhere. From the affordable functionality of our exclusive POM paving systems, to the timeless luxury of Italian cobblestone to massive 24”x36” Mojon Mexican pavers, Western Porphyry has the perfect porphyry choice readily available for any commercial, municipal or residential project.

And no other supplier offers such a wide range of formats and sizes including porphyry cobble, custom-sized dimensional pavers, tile, random flag, slab and even stair-treads – many available in a wide choice of textured finishes.

Porphyry - San Luis Potosi

I just saw a mother load of Mexican porphyry down near San Luis Potosi. My boys Juan and Manolo, two of the bros tht own Global Porfido, hosted me on an extensive tour of their amazing quarries before we bonded over food and football at a nearby chillery. They let their employees in the nearby village take as much porphyry as they want for pimping their houses. The streets of the village have already been paved with Porphyry and the locals can get pretty creative with their installations -check this wall installation out.
 
google magic
Saturday lunchtime, stuffed with Baja Tacos and trying to figure out how to best set up a new google campaign to target car enthusiasts. If sensible the Porsche oweners of the world will upgrade their driveway to Porphyry. Everytime I open our account I find Google charges racking up. We are getting a ridiculous amount of traffic and paying for all these click throughs, so where are the phone calls? Google won't let me use "pimp your driveway" as a headline, which would be the first choice.
