Common Stone Paver Patterns:

Although the most common stone paver shapes are either rectangular or square, many other stone shapes such as keystone, diamond and multi-lock can also be arranged into the traditional common patterns. These patterns include:

Ashlar Pattern: An Ashlar stone pattern comprises of square-cut stone with different width and height. A coursed ashlar pattern is a combination of sequences of stone pavers that have equal height, but unequal length. This pattern creates a most unique and decorative effect whether to walkways, patios	Boxed Basket Weave	Basket Weave (parquet): Basket Weave is a pattern primarily used in the construction of paved driveways. Stone fits well into this checkerboard pattern of pavers that is laid on angled or level ground.	Single Basket Weave
Herringbone 90°: This pattern arranges various shaped stone pavers into an array or sequence of pavers laid either at a 45 or 90-degree angle. The most positive feature of this pattern is the degree of interlocking between the pavers, thus creating a solid and well-structured pavement.	Herringbone 45°: This pattern arranges various shaped stone pavers into an array or sequence of pavers laid either at a 45 or 90-degree angle. The most positive feature of this pattern is the degree of interlocking between the pavers, thus creating a solid and well-structured pavement.	Running Bond: Famous in the creation of paved driveways, the running bond pattern is made of sequences of pavers which alternate and vary when placed on top of each other. Squares and rectangles are the most common shapes used, however symmetry pavers (along with half course) can also be arrayed into such a pattern.	Running Stack Bond

The Relationship between Stone paver Shapes and Stone paver patterns

Normally square and rectangular shapes are most common in stone paving, however some pavers such as Symmetry and Uni-Anchorlock have shapes that are applicable to patterns formulated because of the geometrical aspects of the different pavers shapes. Hence, different stone paver shapes tend to create different stone paver patterns. Other patterns such as ‘circle in square’, ‘fan’, or ‘squares’ can create or add effective and unique decorative value to interior and exterior applications. Such interlocking paver patterns are an example of the design flexibility of stone pavers when improving or proposing new designs for paving applications such as driveways, fireplaces, walkways and patios.

Stamped Concrete

By imprinting patterns in freshly placed concrete, you can achieve the high-end look of stone or brick pavement—and often at a lower cost
