A patio is a great addition to any outdoor space, and when designing one for your property in Michigan, you'll want to consider various design elements to achieve the best results. One of these elements that you should think about is the paver pattern. Popular paver patterns like herringbone, running bond, stack bond, and basketweave are worth considering because they will add visual interest to your patio and make it more beautiful.

Herringbone paver patterns create an eye-catching display on your patio!

One pattern you can design your patio with is herringbone. This pattern creates interlocking zig-zag rows that form an "S" shape and produces a symmetrical look. You can also create a staggered layout by placing the pavers at a 90-degree angle and offsetting them by half their length. By following these steps, each row will be parallel to the next and the end paver will line up perfectly with the starting point of the previous row.

The running bond pattern creates a simple but elegant-looking patio.

A popular paver pattern that you can use for your new patio is the running bond pattern. This pattern is easy to follow, which makes installation quick and efficient. It also creates a simple yet elegant aesthetic that complements your patio, making it look cohesive and well-structured.To install the pavers using this pattern, you first have to lay down a line of pavers horizontally. Then, you simply alternate the placement of the pavers until you reach the other side of the line. If you want to go beyond a basic layout, there are several variations of this pattern that you can try out.

You can customize the running bond pattern by laying the pavers diagonally instead of parallel to the base to add some flair to your patio!

The stack bond pattern adds structure and elegance to your patio.

A patio made using the stack bond pattern is sure to look structurally sound and polished! The stack bond pattern is created by laying down horizontal and vertical lines and aligning the pavers along them. As long as the lines are straight and the pavers are lined up perfectly, you can be assured that this pattern will turn out looking nice. Stack bond is also versatile and can be used for various projects since it doesn't stray too far from the traditional brick-laid pattern. There are also several types of stack bond designs that you can choose from if you want to elevate the aesthetics of your patio even more.

Basketweave is a unique paver pattern that gives your patio a stylish appeal.

If you want something different for your patio, why not opt for a basketweave pattern? Basketweave is a highly recognizable paver pattern that involves alternating pairs of pavers front and back to create a woven basket-like appearance. Instead of being placed directly beside each other, the pavers are positioned at a 90-degree angle, creating a symmetrical pattern that mimics the look of a woven basket. What's great about this pattern is that it allows you to play around with the number of columns and rows to achieve a certain aesthetic for your patio.
