Don't know how the "free" market is by you (we live in the Fort Lauderdale area) but I've seen a lot of Craigslist postings for pavers, stone; building materials of all kinds under the "free" category in our area.
I think that may be because there are so many foreclosures, that when people are clearing out of their homes and leaving things behind. There are also a lot of unfinished projects being left behind, too; stone and wood and windows and such piled in backyards because something got started and the money ran out to finish it.
You may also want to check out Freecycle and get yourself on the mailing list for your area group, and post them as wanted. If you still can't find anything, consider finding your closest Habitat For Humanity building supply thrift store. They are always getting something in, for pennies on the dollar as compared to what you'd normally pay retail.
Join Freecycle and Craigslist and put a want ad. I have seen these items being offered before.
In addition to Freecycle and Craigslist, you should check with your local Buy Nothing group on Facebook. You can ask for what you need and it's possible that someone has them just lying around in their backyard.
Perhaps homes and buildings that are set for remodel or demolition?
Have you tried your local Freecycle group?
We have free pavers, 2 different colors, we are in Fort Lauderdale and they are in good condition
I am trying to finish a concrete yard but want to dress it up with pavers. How many are you giving away? I'll probably need 400-500 sq. ft. Rob
Can I pick up a truck load Saturday? Are they loose? My email is rjlarocca@hotmail.com please let me know.
Yes! Free pavers! Come and get them! We have 3900 sq ft of light brown pavers in good condition. We are in Naples, Florida.
You need to take ALL of them very soon. They are still in the ground so you would need to remove them and truck them away.
It is two truckloads.
I have 2000 sq ft of pavers. You can have them free, but you will have to remove them from my backyard and take them
This was posted over ten years ago so I don't think they will still be available. Check your local Craigslist or Freecycle to see if you can find any in your area.
