5 Layouts and Patterns for Your Patio Pavers in Troy and Rochester Hills, MI
Once you start exploring your options for patio pavers, you may feel that there are as many paver patterns as there are colors. With so many choices, the process of picturing the possibilities for your patio can be quite enjoyable—and also overwhelming. With the help of your landscape contractor, you may want to understand the different options before making the final option for your landscape in the Troy and Rochester Hills, MI, areas.
Running Bond or Stacked Bond
Probably the most used for indoor settings, this type of pattern is what you’re familiar with as you walk through hospitals, schools, and fast-food restaurants. Those same familiar patterns can be carried over to outdoor spaces. Stacked bonds are evenly cut blocks or rectangles, “stacked” on top of each other to make a symmetrical look. Running bonds are offset so that the start of one paver is on top of the center of the paver in the row beneath it. Running stacked bonds are a combination of the two, utilizing elongated pavers end over end.
Weave Patterns
Weave patterns, or woven patterns, are tailored for those who desire a more elaborate, and perhaps busy, look. The basketweave pattern is where the category starts, and though the concept behind it may be perceived as bland, once it’s put into practice, it can create magnificent complexity from its simplicity. Two pavers are placed together in one direction while the two next to it are then placed perpendicularly. As this pattern continues, you will start to understand the grand significance of it. Offset basket weave patterns take the same practice as the running bonds do, and add another layer of complexity. Boxed basket weave patterns could be considered even more grand. You’ll most frequently see these patterns at golf courses, hotels, resorts, casinos, and in higher end restaurants.
Herringbone Pattern
The herringbone pattern is really popular at golf courses and in amusement parks. The simple but sleek design combines elegance with fun and is really aesthetically pleasing. The finished product looks like steps, and sometimes multiple shades of the same color can add a really interesting but enticing design.
Circular Patterns
The circular patterns are frequently used in parks and pools and are usually designed for curved and winding pathways. There is no concise method as each circular pattern can be completely different based on the sizing and laying method. Consider combining the circular pattern with one of the other pattern choices if you want to have a defined walking area through your patio or between furniture.
Random Patterns
Random patterns are extraordinarily popular right now. You can find these patterns pretty much everywhere. Random patterns combine pavers of various shapes and sizes to create an effect that appears to be random but in fact is carefully strategized. The idea is that no two seams will line up in any place in the entire patio. The random pattern can become a work of art, and while it appears there is little attention to detail, it’s probably the pattern selection with the most attention to detail required.
