Paving Stone Patterns: Basket Weave
According to About.com, "The basket weave pattern is essentially composed of pairs of bricks. Picture a square area in which 8 bricks are to be laid (2 columns and 2 rows, consisting of 4 pairs of bricks). The basket weave pattern would run as follows, starting from the upper left corner and ending at the lower right: 2 bricks standing vertically, 2 bricks horizontally, 2 bricks horizontally, 2 bricks vertically."
The basket weave pattern is frequently used on driveways, but has endless potential in other areas of the home. It can be applied to both level and angled ground. Those with a taste for Old World charm enjoy the textured look of basket weave pavers. This style works well with recycled or old bricks to bring out the rustic effect.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes, here are some useful links to illustrations of basket weave pavers. Each one provides accompanying information:
The Paving Stone Pattern Guide, a 58-page booklet produced by PaveLoc Industries, Inc., provides a wealth of information about paving patterns and styles. Basket weave patterns are pictured on pages 2 and 19 of this useful guidebook.
PaverSearch, a very useful reference for all things to do with pavers. This website has useful information about different patterns for laying pavers, including doing so in the basketweave style.
Tile Tech Pavers is another source that shows the basket weave pattern for laying pavers. Although simple, the basket weave pattern is appealing visually and gives a classic simplicity to any paved surface.
When you hire a contractor to install pavers in a driveway or patio, he or she will discuss various patterns and styles of laying the pavers you choose. Ask your contractor about the basket weave pattern; this person should be an excellent source of practical information.

Here is what has been said about our Paving Stones Contractors:
California Construction Center is a wonderful company. These guys are truly concerned with the happiness and satisfaction of the homeowner. The foreman was always asking me if I was happy with the work. If I wanted any changes made, they were taken care of right away. There was always someone available to take my calls, and if I did have to leave a message, I would get a call back in minutes. All unforeseen work that wasn’t incorporated into the original bid was addressed with out them asking for more money. I am sincerely very happy with them and the work. These guys seem to be the only company that tells the truth. They were upfront about every aspect of the project. Everything that was on the contract was done. They genuinely care about the customer.
California Construction center did a really great job for me. They pay a lot attention to customer satisfaction. The guys running the show do a great job planning and organizing, and the crew does a wonderful job executing. All and all, it was a very positive experience and I would happily recommend these guys to others.
