Select the layout of paving slabs - diagrams, patterns, drawings
The tile pattern depends only on the imagination of the person laying it. However, there are several established patterns that are used most often and that can often be found on city streets and garden plots. Here they are.

Alternating stripes. This is a simple pattern, the essence of which is that the path or paved area is cut by two thin stripes of tiles of a different color. The width of such stripes is usually 2-3 bricks.
Imitation of brickwork. The tile imitates masonry made of jamaica mobile database bricks. This imitation is also achieved by alternating colors. Elements of one tone form rectangles (bricks), and elements of another tone form veins of mortar between them.
"Herringbone". In this case, the paving stones are laid according to the Soviet pattern of laying parquet boards - herringbone.
Chess. The tiles are laid to imitate a chessboard. To do this, identical alternating squares are formed from light and dark paving stones.
"Staircase". The bricks and tiles are laid out in such a way that they resemble a stepladder.
Circle. This type of masonry is one or more concentric circles of tiles of different tones. It is difficult to use on paths, but it is ideal for round or oval paved areas.
It is important to remember that when choosing a pattern, you need to consider the shape of the tile. For example, wide square paving stones are not suitable for a "ladder" or "herringbone" pattern, but they are suitable for a checkerboard pattern or imitation brick.
