brick patterns

Herringbone or basketweave

Brick patterns refer to the various arrangements in which bricks are laid to create walls, pavements, or decorative surfaces.

Common patterns include running bond, where bricks are staggered in offset rows; herringbone, with bricks set at angles to form a zigzag; and basketweave, alternating horizontal and vertical pairs.

The choice of pattern affects both structural integrity and visual appeal.

The contractor recommended a herringbone brick pattern for the patio.
