Geometric patio patterns are certainly pleasing to the eye. They also add a ton of charm to your outdoor living space! If you’ve ever been afraid to install your own geometric patio pattern {because you suck at math!} you should stop being afraid. It’s actually easy to do–no geometry or algebra is needed for an amazing geometric pattern. Let me show you some ideas!

What Do You Need For A Geometric Patio Pattern?

A geometric patio is easily laid with either bricks or paving stones {referred to as pavers}. The one you use depends on the final look you are going for, but either works structurally just as well as the other. Aside from bricks or pavers, you will need a layer of compacted gravel underneath your patio, topped with a layer of landscaping fabric and then a layer of sand. Once everything is smooth, you simply set your pavers into the sand in the pattern you choose. To set your geometric patio pattern into place, sand is brushed and compacted into the cracks between the bricks or pavers.

Examples Of Geometric Patio Patterns

One of the most intimidating of the geometric patio patterns is a round pattern. If you find yourself looking at a round pattern like this one, thinking how appealing it is before deciding it’s much too hard to actually implement, you’re not alone! But nothing could be further from the truth. A round patio pattern is as easy as starting from the middle and working your way out. Use several different sizes of bricks or pavers, and that helps as you lay out each succeeding circle. Once your patio reaches the diameter you need, you’re finished.

Can you pick out the geometric pattern in this beautiful patio space? Hint: it is laid out in a smaller rectangular pattern that just repeats over the entire space. The use of three different sizes of pavers is what gives it a random sort of look, but it’s not really random at all!

Here’s a lovely geometric patio pattern that is very simple. One size of bricks are used, with two bricks forming a square. The squares are just laid vertically and horizontally in an alternating fashion. Notice that the edges of the patio are defined by laying single bricks in the same direction all around. Easy, and it looks amazing!

This geometric patio is noteworthy because of the way the pattern is used. See how the straight line down the center leads you to the pool? To the right, the pattern curves, leading you to an outdoor dining area. A curving path like this is easy to install with square and half-size pavers.
