Paver Patio Designs

When it comes to your paver patio designs you have the option of using brick, rock, stone, concrete or asphalt for your project.  Cultured stone will work just as well in many situations as natural stone materials or flagstone.

Let us take a look at the various ways in which you can realize the paver patio designs to match your own space and personal taste

Patterns used in paver designs will very often depend on the nature and shape of the paving used.  The shape plays an important role here and the material from which they are made will be a reflection of that.

Interlocking Patio Pavers

These look like a stop sign with a square stuck beneath it.  You can acquire truly unique and different looks by using them because of their shape which allows a vast variety of different patterns. It is also possible to combine these with shaped pavers to create truly unique patterns.

Brick Paver Patio Designs

While they come in different sizes they are usually rectangular shaped. We also get a good variety of colors to choose from.  The browns and tans are very often used for patio and walkway areas.  Brick pavers are good for a variety of great designs while at the same time being simple in shape.

A popular choice is the ‘basket weave pattern’ which uses a crossing pattern. There are several options you can lay a pattern to get a variety of basket weaves.  Two pavers are used side-by-side, the next set is then placed perpendicular to those.  Each of those inset sections consist of two bricks placed at 90 degrees to the others.

A more complex pattern is the ‘herringbone pattern’.  Here it is important to use great layout and measurements. Those patterns are laid in a 90 degree angle to one another, end to end.  This way you will get a repeating ‘L’ shaped pattern.  Another option is using a Herringborne pattern which uses a 45 degree angle instead.

Far simpler to do is the pattern known as ‘running bond’ pattern.  This one is structured similar to a brick wall with the joints overlapping one another.  This one is especially suitable for straight paths like driveways.

Cobblestone Patio Designs

With cobblestones we also get a good choice of shapes.  However, squares or rectangular shapes are the most common used here.  Due to their shape, colors and materials they can give a very distinct “old” look to your patio project.

Flagstone Paver Patio Designs

Flagstone is a type of stone that is pretty often used for patio floors.  The special thing about flagstone is its very natural appearance. This material has a natural ruggedness about it without the clean edges as we have with other materials. Commonly they are laid to look like a path through nature, giving it a very natural appearance blending in with the environment.  They are perfect for giving your patio or backyard that unique look.

It should not be difficult to make your outdoor space attractive having all those choices in paver patio designs.
