The aim of this research is to determine the dependences of the physical mechanical properties of vibro-pressed concrete (pavement blocks) on the type of coarse aggregate used in the main layer. Sustainability of concrete pavement blocks is a really important matter. Five different batches of pavement blocks were produced, changing the consistence ratio of coarse aggregate in the main layer. There are two types of course aggregate: crushed gravel and granite. The consistence of a facing layer was not changed. All tests: density, tensile split strength, water absorption for vibro-pressed concrete units were made according to EN 1338:2003+AC2006.
