When selecting a paver pattern for your patio, walkway, or driveway, strength and durability are key factors, especially in high-traffic areas. While there are many eye-catching styles available, not all provide the same level of stability. If your top priorities are structural integrity and visual appeal, one pattern stands out above the rest: herringbone.
The herringbone pattern is known for its tightly interlocked design, where pavers are laid at angles—usually 45 or 90 degrees—to form a repeating V-shaped zigzag. This configuration creates multidirectional strength, distributing weight and pressure more evenly than linear patterns. It resists shifting, buckling, and movement, even under constant foot or vehicle traffic, making it one of the strongest options for residential hardscapes.
What makes herringbone even more impressive is its adaptability. This pattern enhances traditional spaces and modern landscapes alike. Its angled design draws the eye and can make small areas feel larger. You can get creative with color contrasts and jointing materials to add texture or soften its busy feel. Whether you're working with brick-style pavers or more contemporary formats, herringbone adds instant sophistication without compromising functionality.
