This page gives some simple laying patterns for patio paving and driveway block paving. You may prefer a random layout. We can help you with this, or you can plan it on graph paper.
Stack bond, half bond, third bond and random linear patterns work well with our porcelain paving range
These patterns can also create a more contemporary look when using natural stone, especially those with a crisp, sawn edge.
Tudor and Dutch bond are great for a traditional look and work well with mixed sizes of natural stone. Our Trade Pack laying pattern is suitable for mixed sized patio packs such as Kebur Trade Packs or Bradstone Natural Sandstone paving.
Good Morning Kebur,
I’m about to start my first patio project, hopefully you could assist with a layout pattern for my sizing? Thank you in advance
I have two sizes 900×600 and 600×600/20mm porcelain what are you able to come up with, with minimal cuts of course. I thought about making a few cardboard templates.
Any help, gratefully received.
Kind regards
Andyu
We would recommend you use the random linear pattern if you are laying both 900×600 and 600x600mm slabs. You’ll need to space them out so the joints on each row don’t meet. The laying pattern on this page shows you how. https://www.kebur.co.uk/laying-patterns/
Good luck with your patio project and do come back to us if we can be of any further assistance.
Hello, I am about to have my patio laid and am using sandstone Raj Green – could you please forward me a layout plan so that I can get it set out on my lawn ready for the Landscapers. I have tried downloading the one on your website and it does not want to play the game. I appreciate the layouts are only an idea but would find it really helpful. Regards Barbara Norman
Hi Barbara

Hi I’m looking to start on my patio project. We will be buying Porcelain tiles 900 x 600 for around 23sq metre area
Would the slope need to be approx 60mm over a distance of 3.2 meters for drainage into an Aco drain
Would the 3rd Bond pattern look ok for this size tile. And do I need to prime the tiles first?
Also what is the best way to lift the tile into place
Hi Robert
We work to a standard of between 1:80 – 1:60 fall, so for a patio distance of 3200mm we would install using a fall of between 40mm to 50mm.
The paving should ideally be laid 2 bricks below damp course and fall away from the house. It depends on lawn levels etc, but an Aco is normally only required should the paving need to fall back towards the property and then this would need to then be piped into an existing drainage or soakaway system. Or if the paving falls away from the property and a wall is required then the Aco will run along the front face of the wall. If you can achieve a decent fall away from the property to lawn level and you have relatively good free draining soil, then an Aco will not be required.
The tiles definitely need to be primed just before laying and a third bond is fine for 900 x 600 tiles.
The easiest way to lift the tiles in place is by using a Grabo but these are quite expensive to purchase and hire shops generally don’t stock these, so it is advised for 900 x 600 to lift the tiles in place using two people.
We hope this helps. These suggestions are a general guide only and will not take account of your exact site conditions and soil. If you are in any doubt about your installation, we recommend using the services of a professional landscaper: https://www.kebur.co.uk/category/landscaping/
