“Based on the current marketplace, timing for our mobile app couldn’t be better,” said Ed Fioroni, vice president of marketing and sales for Pavestone. “In this competitive environment, defining a project and selecting the right products are critical for success.”
In addition to access to Pavestone, product information for CST, Willamette Graystone and Flagstone is available to mobile app users geo-located, or self-identified, in areas served by those companies.

In announcing its new app, Pavestone cited market research by the Freedonia Group that bodes well for its business. The five-year landscape project demand is forecast to grow 5.3 percent per year, the company says, from $5.3 billion in 2014 to $8.2 billion in 2019. Of the four landscape project categories considered in the forecast, Pavestone reports, concrete pavers and segmental wall units were projected to see the highest annual growth at 7.3 percent.
