Bermuda Brickyard is the authorized dealership for many popular products for homes, patios and driveways.

This includes Tremron Concrete Pavers, Soil Retention Products’ Drivable Grass and Verdura Walls, Haifa General Limestone, Coral Stone and Marble tiles, and Armor Screen Hurricane Protection.

Buying from a reputable authorized dealer is usually much less expensive, and ultimately safer for the customer. It is the best way for the consumer to get the lowest price, best service, quality and protection.

Elegance

As we buy our products in containers direct from the source, our shipping costs and the final price are much lower than the customer could obtain by buying from an international source on his or her own.

We recently had someone try to do just that and it ultimately cost him 35 per cent more than he would have paid for the same product from the Brickyard.

We stock and supply only quality-controlled merchandise direct from the manufacturer.

A non-authorized dealer will not, or cannot, protect the customer against freight damage or quality issues and cannot guarantee the customer is getting the genuine product.

If anything goes wrong with our products, our manufacturers make good and we can provide in-stock replacements or even a new shipment in very short order.

As an authorized dealer, we are required to meet very stringent requirements which include intensive training in the manufacture, handling and best applications for each product, something you can’t get from an independent shipper or overseas middleman.

Tremron Concrete Pavers make for a durable and elegant driveway or patio, arguably the crowning glory to a successful home construction project.

Unfortunately, many homeowners have lost steam by this stage and will tell their contractor to lay a concrete or asphalt driveway in an effort to keep costs down.

The Bermuda Brickyard offers many affordable and stunning options to help make that final grand statement without breaking the bank.

We supply and install with no charge for removing asphalt or old driveways and we include all design consultations at no extra cost.

Today, Bermuda Brickyard counts among its best-selling items, Antique Old Chicago and Red Bricks, and the Tremron Concrete Pavers in a wide range of styles and colours.

Other products include Limestone and Dominican Coral Stone, and the new Soil Retention Products which are environmentally-conscious, as well as cost-effective.

Soil Retention Products’ top-selling Drivable Grass is particularly cost-effective and environmentally superior.

Drivable Grass is a flexible, easy-to-install, two-inch square mat with round-edged concrete ‘biscuits’ which allow for healthy grass growth and drainage.

Much cheaper than asphalt or a traditional poured concrete driveway, Drivable Grass has cool characteristics which reduce the ‘heat island’ effect found in traditional concrete and asphalt.

Drivable Grass is strong enough for heavy equipment and vehicles, yet green and attractive. It’s also very easy to install.

The mat is porous and reduces run-off. It allows moisture, road oil drippings, and rubber tyre residues to filter into the underlying soil.

Given a choice between a stunning driveway like this or a more expensive poured concrete or asphalt driveway, I know which one I would choose.

Drivable Grass is a permeable, flexible and plantable concrete pavement system. It allows for a lush green surface while also providing parking and stability for cars and heavy vehicles.
