Choosing the Right Paver Pattern for Your Patio

Antelis Fence & Hardscapes

The pattern you choose changes the whole feel of a paver patio. Here's a quick guide for Kannapolis homeowners weighing their options.

Running Bond

A simple, staggered brick-like pattern that works well for most spaces. It's a safe, classic choice that pairs with almost any home style.

Herringbone

Pavers laid at a 45- or 90-degree angle in an interlocking pattern. It adds visual interest and is known for excellent structural stability under vehicle weight, making it a popular choice for driveways too.

Basketweave

Pairs of pavers laid in alternating directions to create a woven look. It has a more traditional, formal feel and works well for smaller patios or walkways.

Random or Modular Patterns

Mixing paver sizes in a planned but irregular layout creates a more custom, less uniform look - popular for larger patios where visual interest matters.

Color Matters Too

Lighter colors tend to show less heat and can make a space feel larger, while darker tones create more contrast against greenery and hide staining better over time.
