One of the easiest pattern to lay out, the bricks are laid at 90-degree angles to one another. To keep the pattern running straight, a string line or straight edged timber rail is used. This pattern is often used for driveways having a long straight edge to one side. 

Unlike the previous pattern, 45 degree laid pattern is the toughest of all patterns to install. Here cuts are needed on each side of the driveway or patio at the time of laying. To achieve this pattern, more than half the block is used at a time which makes the remaining stone go to waste.

Again, creating a pattern in the middle is a fantastic way to make the driveway look edgy and distinct. This works extremely well with both herringbone patterns and standard straight patterns.

Borders
