Are you planning to lay a new hardscape with La Pietra™ or another square or rectangularly shaped paver? How can you place each stone to ensure the final result is sleek and professional?
This blog post will examine various paver layout options, focusing specifically on La Pietra™. Keep reading to ensure you know the best pattern options for your project.
If you are looking for natural elegance for your hardscape, La Pietra™ is just the thing.
The pavers replicate Pennsylvania bluestone and generally come in large sizes. La Pietra™ is also now available individually, where it used to come only by the layer (called La Pietra™ Quattro). This new individual option has opened up a new world of pattern options.
La Pietra™ is available as textured finish, or La Pietra™ Moderna as a smooth finish to suit your preferred style.
La Pietra™ also comes in five sizes:
Let’s dive into the different pattern options so you can see what you like best for your space!
This pattern uses 100% of any La Pietra™ rectangular stone and lays each at a 90-degree angle with the one next to it.
This variegated pattern is designed for paver families like the Granite Stone, Leiden Collection, and La Pietra™. The La Pietra™ pattern consists of 41% x-large square, 27% large rectangle, 18% medium square, 9% small rectangle, and 5% small square.
The lovely Italia pattern works with Leiden, La Pietra™, and La Pietra™ ModernaTM. It consists of: 53% large rectangle, 27% medium square, 13% small rectangle, and 7% small square. The result is a large/small stair-step type of pattern.
The Modified Marseille pattern is ideal for the new variation of La Pietra™ that comes individually. If you use La Pietra™ Quattro, you will have some stones left over from each layer because this pattern does not precisely match the layer quantities. Modified Marseille comprises 30% large rectangle, 40% medium square, 20% small rectangle, and 10% small square.
If a woven-style pattern is what you want for your space, the Muster K pattern is perfect for you. Using 73% large rectangle and 27% medium square, the result is a traditional woven style that is always appealing.
The Opus II pattern works with both La Pietra™ and La Pietra™ Moderna. It comprises 50% large rectangle, 22% medium square, 22% small rectangle, and 6% small square.
This pattern is designed to make your space feel large and luxurious! It works with La Pietra™ and La Pietra™ Moderna. It consists of 34% large rectangle, 44% medium square, 11% small rectangle, and 11% small square.
If you appreciate whimsical-style hardscapes, try the Random Paving Stone Layout. Random layouts are commonly used when laying paving stones of various sizes that module together, such as La Pietra™ Quattro. This style is not necessarily a pattern but involves placing the stones in whatever order appeals to you.
This straight style is made 100% of any La Pietra™ rectangular or square stone, creating neat hardscape lines.
The Stack Bond pattern is similar to Running Bond, but the result is a neat, square pattern instead of running lines. It is made 100% of any La Pietra™ rectangular or square stone.
Another variation is the Two Stone Running Bond. This uses two La Pietra™ stones with a common width, such as a large square plus a large rectangle or a medium square plus a large rectangle.
A further variation of the Running Bond pattern uses three La Pietra™ stones with a common width, such as a small rectangle, medium square, and large rectangle.
The Three Stone pattern is another woven hardscape style: 47% large square, 32% large rectangle, and 21% medium square.
If you love a brick hardscape style, try Brickweave. It consists of 50% medium square plus 50% small rectangle.
The most basic Plainweave comprises 57% medium square, 27% small rectangle, and 17% small square.
