Top 6 Landscaping Paver Patterns to Consider in 2024
Designing a backyard oasis is a dream for many homeowners, and the process is filled with a multitude of difficult decisions. One being: which type of patio should I go with?
Paver patios are one of the most popular types of patios on the market, second to concrete. Pavers offer a classic look that is perfect for many houses and backyards, despite the higher price when compared to concrete. Pavers can come in the form of different types of bricks and can be formed together to create unique patterns and designs perfect for any backyard design. Friendly reminder: pavers are made from concrete!
At Royal Pools and G2 Outdoor Designs, we’re in backyards every single day, and we can see the trends in landscaping in real-time. When you go online to search for paver patterns, you’re going to see a lot of options. Popularity is a broad term and can be hard to measure in our industry, but we have seen firsthand that there are paver patterns in our region that are being researched online. What are those patterns? Let’s take a look.
Types of patterns:
Stretcher
Large format bricks
Flemish
Large format brinks

Random Rotating Pattern
We have laid these patterns out starting with the more classic designs at the top, and the more contemporary designs at the bottom. Herringbone, flemish, and stretcher patterns will most likely never go out of style. These patterns offer a clean and natural look that can be paired easily with any backyard space.
Radial and random rotating patterns have emerged as two of the most sought-after paver designs in the 2020s so far. These designs can be used to emphasize certain places and areas in your backyard, say a kitchen or a fireplace. Designers have been experimenting with using different colored bricks with these designs, offering homeowners even more customizability options.
Pavers can fit in any backyard, matching even the wildest outdoor living designs. They are an evergreen product, despite what many people may say. Sure, there is only so much you can do with pavers. But surely more can be done and created? Curiosity breeds innovation. Pavers are a reliable product that haven’t really changed much over the years, but technology advances every day. It is only a matter of time before patio pavers are created and designed using AI technology that can determine exactly how much brick is needed for a specific design. Imagine that!
As you can see, the notion that pavers are “boring” or “bland” is one of the past. Homeowners and industry leaders alike are constantly looking for ways to make paver patios more accessible, unique, and adaptable enough to be used in both contemporary and modern outdoor living spaces. Whether you’re someone who prefers the timeless elegance of herringbone and running bond patterns, or you prefer the bolder looks of radial and random rotating patterns, you will most certainly find a paver patio to suit your needs. These options are diverse, and luckily for you, popular! Don’t be hasty, however, landscape trends can change on a dime, as does pricing in this economy. Pavers are more expensive than concrete already, so if you know you want pavers, now is the time to buy! Happy hunting!
