The strongest interlocking pattern for natural stone — ideal for driveways and high-traffic areas. Available in 45° and 90° orientations with step-by-step layout instructions.
Herringbone is the recommended pattern for driveways and high-traffic areas because its interlocking V-shape distributes load in multiple directions simultaneously. Unlike running bond where force travels along joint lines, herringbone redirects stress at every intersection — making it significantly more resistant to shifting and settling under vehicle weight.
Rows run parallel to the house. Easier to lay out and produces less waste. Good for rectangular spaces where the pattern aligns with the building edge.
Rotated 45° — produces a more dynamic, traditional look. Requires more cuts at the edges and generates more waste (15-20% recommended). Preferred for driveways and large formal areas.
