Design Questions & Answers
What paver patterns work best for driveways in New Jersey?
Herringbone and running bond patterns are ideal for NJ driveways due to their interlocking strength and ability to handle freeze-thaw cycles. These patterns distribute weight evenly and resist shifting.
How do I choose the right paver color for my home?
Consider your home's exterior colors, roofing, and architectural style. Earth tones complement most homes, while cool grays work well with modern architecture. We recommend viewing samples in different lighting conditions.
Can I mix different paver sizes in one project?
Yes! Mixed-size designs create visual interest and can define different areas. Popular combinations include large pavers with smaller accent pieces, or random patterns using 3-4 different sizes.
What are the most durable paver design options?
Herringbone and interlocking patterns provide maximum strength and stability. Avoid large open areas without proper support, and ensure adequate edge restraint for any design to prevent shifting.
