Adding a new patio to your outdoor living space will create a perfect space to relax and enjoy the outdoors in Portland, Oregon. If you have decided to use pavers for your new patio, you will need to decide what type of pattern you want to use as well. This decision should be thought about carefully because this will determine how your patio will look and you'll want to pick something you love. Although there are numerous different patterns to choose from, four of the most beautiful paver patterns to consider are herringbone, running bond, I-pattern, and ashlar. Each one of these patterns is unique in its own way and will help you create a beautiful patio that you will love!

1. Herringbone

Herringbone paver pattern for patio in Gresham, OR.

The herringbone paver pattern is a classic choice that can give you a beautiful and unique-looking patio. This zig-zag pattern is created by alternating horizontal and vertical pavers. You can alter this pattern a little by installing the pavers at 45-degree or 90-degree angles which will add style and elegance to your new patio. A Herringbone pattern is a great choice if you are looking to make your patio unique and give it a more modern feel.

The herringbone pattern gets its name because when it's finished, it looks like the bone structure of a herring fish!

2. Running bond

Running bond pattern for patio in Sunnyside, OR.

Because of its simple design, the running bond paver pattern is one of the most popular options. This pattern is created by laying the pavers side by side to form a straight line. The pavers will be laid in a straight line, but every other row will be staggered by half its length to create a symmetrical pattern. When done correctly, every other row will line up perfectly, creating a design that will set your new patio apart from the rest of your landscape.

3. I-Pattern

As the name implies, an I-pattern is used to create as many capital "I" intersections or lines as possible. To install this type of patio, you will need to use two horizontal pavers with two vertical pavers placed directly below them, and then two more horizontal pavers at the bottom of the vertical pavers to create the look of the capital letter "I." This is one of the most straightforward patterns to lay but achieves something beautiful and eye-catching once it is finished.

You can install your new patio using high-quality materials such as concrete pavers or flagstones.

4. Ashlar

Ashlar pattern installed for patio in Happy Valley, OR.

An ashlar paver pattern uses pavers of different shapes and sizes, laying them down in a random-looking pattern. However, it isn't random at all and is actually used to create a visually appealing look for your new patio that will give it character. This type of pattern creates a great structure for your patio by avoiding making four corners of the pavers meet and avoiding long lines. If you are looking for a pattern that has been used for hundreds of years, ashlar is the choice for you!
