Paving stones have become very popular and are really the way of the future for all driveways. Pavers have become the easiest, best-looking way to replace a cracked concrete or worn asphalt driveway. Paving stones have proven to be not only much more attractive than concrete or asphalt, but also stronger. Pavers can be removed and installed at any time without a trace of replacement. Pavers areearthquake-resistantt.
Example: When concrete cracks, or needs to be removed for underground water piping or sewer repairs, or many other reasons. The concrete must be saw-cut and jackhammered out, and the replacement will be discolored or different. Concrete has been tested to withstand about 2000 lbs. Where interlocking pavers have been tested to withstand about 7500 lbs.
The 4 most common and popular paving patterns are the Running Bond Pattern, which is the most common pattern used today. This pattern is laid side by side and creates illusions with its lines. Meaning it can make a driveway look longer or even wider than it is. Running board is the most cost-effective because it has the least amount of waste than other pattern installations.
The Basket Weave Pattern is a well-known old English pattern that will bring a vintage or historic look to your area. This pattern is laid with the pavers alternating between vertical and horizontal pairs. The pavers laid this way in pairs are very eye-catching with their rows and columns. And this pattern always enables one to mix colors and get really creative if desired. It is very common to lay a driveway with this pattern.
The Herringbone Pattern is laid going in alternate directions, creating a “V’ shape. This pattern is usually laid at 45 to 90 degrees and can be mixed with other pavers in between or as a border to create a very nice detail. This pattern is known to have a strong visual effect, which adds a nice character to a driveway. The Circular Pattern is often used in large driveways because it breaks up large spaces by adding an interesting look that complements other elements in the area.
When laying the pavers in a circular formation, it seems to look its best when laid with other patterns such as the running board, basket weave, or herringbone. And often, half-circle or quarter-circle patterns are used. See more at calstone.com/ or belgard.com/ or basalite.com/.
