Time frame for getting bricks engraved. Please keep in touch with us as much as possible. Best time for engraving bricks is during our slower Memorial times which is June during the summer, and Dec - Feb during the winter. Spring and Fall are very busy Memorial times which makes it harder to work in brick projects.

Vermarco Font is the font we use on all concrete bricks. The above characters can be used on concrete bricks.
Standard 4x8 Brick
These are standard 4x8 Concrete Pavers. (Actual size of bricks vary from 4x8 to 4 1/4x81/2) They hold 13 spaces and 3 lines of type. The dark red brick tend to fade and we suggest staying away from that color. Some bricks are made with too many rocks in the mix and the centers of letters blow out repeatedly. This is why it is important to bring a sample in for us to look at. We can't always recognize all the problem bricks with one sample but it helps in the long run of your project.
Rustic 4x8 Concrete Brick. These hold 11 spaces and 2 lines of type. With the chipped up edge of the rustic style these bricks hold fewer characters than other styles of the same size.
Standard 8x8 Concrete Brick. (Style not popular at landscape companies so becoming difficult to purchase.) Holds 13 spaces and 6 lines of type.
11x5 Concrete Paver - wavy edge Holds 17 spaces and 5 lines of type.
Rustic Edge 12x8 Concrete Paver. Holds 16 spaces and 6 lines of type. With the chipped up edge of the rustic style these bricks hold fewer characters than other styles of the same size.
