Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
I had never laid a clay paver when I lived near Detroit, but was introduced to them via the deman from clients when I moved to Wisconsin.

And I have news - you can get clay pavers in circle patterns! Now that I've said that, I can't recall the mfg that makes them, but they are made!

I see clay pavers like any other hardscape material - perfectly viable for most pavement applications, and the palette of colors and textures are ones that are not duplicated by anything made of concrete. So for me, it's a matter of the right paver for the project. Sometimes it's a Belden Polar White, or a 50 series Whitacre Greer, or a sand-molded Jamestown from Glen Gery, or Pine Hall's Olde Tavern. Yankee Hill has some drop-dead gorgeous colors, and Endicott is rumored to have a great reputation (though I've never had the pleasure of trying them). And those are just the ones I'm at least a little familiar with.

So yeah, I like clay pavers.
