I am planning on extending a patio at the back of my house. I was planning on using 16 inch pavers but have been unable to locate any of this size at home depot (HPM I was told does not carry pavers). Does anyone know where I might be able to find them on the east side of the Big Island?
If I can't find them I might just have to make my own, has anyone on here had any experience with that? If so, I would love to hear from you and get any tips you may have.
Thanks

Thanks so much, I guess I should have been more specific. I am trying to find someone on this side of the island that has pavers. Transporting them from Kona would be costly, and I don't have a truck. The more i think about it the more inclined I am to just get a concrete mold and make them myself. I was talking to a guy on landscape forum who said he did this and it turned out really nice and didn't take him long at all.

I have made pavers, (have used purchased molds & wood framed square molds & even made pavers with the clear covers from deli & bakery trays)...
However, here the cost of the concrete is something to look at... we found that for our lanai, we saved money by having a slab poured, rather than purchasing & mixing batches of concrete (have done bag & raw mixing...)
So the cost & ability to have a pour done may be something to check, esp. if you are on a paved road & the pour is accessible not so much if not on pavement or in an area that is not as accessible)
Also ask at the Keaau ReUse at the Transfer Station, they had a lot of thick sand/cement pavers a month ago- have no idea on stock now
