Masonry surfaces designed to perform
We are a leading Australian manufacturer of architectural hardscaping, producing quality concrete pavers, terrazzo tiles and retaining wall systems. Based in South Australia, Best Bricks & Pavers creates durable, design-led products that deliver all-round excellence.
Masonry made to perform
As specialists in concrete and terrazzo masonry, we build products that perform — structurally, visually, and over time. Every BEST paver, tile, and retaining unit is manufactured locally to meet or exceed Australian Standards. Slip resistance, durability, and dimensional accuracy — it’s all tested and verified.
Whether installed in a coastal courtyard or a high-traffic plaza, our materials are designed to hold their shape and appearance in harsh conditions. We don’t just meet spec — we exceed it. With BEST, performance isn’t just a promise. It’s built into every mix, mould, and square metre.
Customise with confidence
No two projects are the same — so we’ve built our production model to flex. From colours and formats to surface finishes and edge profiles, we offer a wide range of customisation options across our concrete and terrazzo ranges.

Want a signature tone or honed texture? A custom bullnose or large-format layout? We’ll help you shape the perfect product to bring your vision to life. Our team collaborates with specifiers, developers, and contractors to bring design intent to life as a manufactured reality.

When you need flexibility without sacrificing consistency, BEST delivers bespoke masonry made to spec — and made to impress.
Sustainability you can specify
At BEST, sustainability is a system — not a slogan. Our zero-waste facility runs on gas-free curing, closed-loop water recycling, and local materials. We reduce our environmental impact at every stage of manufacturing.

We also offer permeable paving solutions to support stormwater management, reduce urban heat island effects, and meet environmental design codes.
Our long-lasting concrete and terrazzo products lower lifecycle impact by standing the test of time. And we’re transparent about what we make and how we make it. When your project calls for environmental performance, BEST makes it easy to specify with confidence.
One system, many surfaces
We don’t just supply materials — we offer an integrated hardscaping system. BEST produces concrete and terrazzo pavers, tiles, edging, bullnose profiles, and retaining wall blocks — all designed to work together across your site.

That means consistent finishes, easier coordination, and fewer compatibility issues during installation. Whether you’re planning a public square, rooftop garden, or multi-residential landscape, you can source everything from one trusted supplier.

Designers get visual cohesion. Builders get practical simplicity. And your client gets a beautiful result, delivered more efficiently. One system, many surfaces — all-round excellence, built in.
Heritage that keeps evolving
We’ve spent over 30 years refining our craft — and we’re still pushing. BEST was an early innovator in honed pavers, terrazzo finishes, and large-format masonry. Today, we’re leading with sustainable hardscaping and specifier-friendly tools, such as our digital configurator.

However, our foundation remains unchanged: craftsmanship, care, and continuous improvement. Every batch is checked. Every product is backed.

We’re not chasing trends — we’re building what lasts. From high-end residential to national public works, BEST products are chosen for their design relevance, performance, and reliability. Our heritage is innovation — and we’re just getting started.
Local legacy, national impact
Proudly based in South Australia, BEST manufactures everything on site — supporting over 100 local jobs and a national client base. We believe in local sourcing, local knowledge, and long-term relationships.

But our reach is wide. Our products feature in major urban upgrades, five-star hotels, universities, and civic spaces across Australia.

Clients choose BEST because we offer the responsiveness of a local partner, with the capacity of a national supplier. Whether it’s a fast turnaround or a fully customised project spec, we’re ready. Local pride. National capability. That’s Best — by name and by nature.
Where it began
Best Bricks & Pavers was founded in 1993 by the late Bob D’Ottavi, a skilled and visionary engineer originally from Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
After making Adelaide his home in 1955, Bob dedicated his life to masonry production — bringing deep expertise, passion, and pride to every surface he helped create. He believed Australia could produce concrete and terrazzo products to rival the world’s best, and BEST was his way of proving it.
His legacy of quality, precision, and hard work continues to shape the way we operate today.
Established in 1993, Best Bricks & Pavers (BEST) started with a clean slate, travelling the world for inspiration, taking the best European style and adding their own ingenuity. BEST produced a range of traditional and large format pavers that were second to none.Â
Now over 30 years later, BEST employs a team of over 100, including some of the finest craftsmen in the industry and boasts the largest comprehensive range of pavers in the market.Â
BEST prides itself in employing locals and is 100% South Australian owned and operated. Best’s products are manufactured using local South Australian raw materials.
More than 30 years on, BEST is recognised as one of the country’s most trusted masonry manufacturers. Our products appear in civic landscapes, heritage sites, public precincts, and residential spaces nationwide. We continue to work hand-in-hand with architects, engineers, builders, and developers to deliver high-performance surfaces — grounded in craft, backed by experience, and built to last for generations.
