One of the attractions of using such bricks blocks or blocks is that they can be laid in a wide variety of patterns to create visual interest, and sometimes also an illusion of extra space, width, or depth. As there is some variation in the size of bricks blocks, it is best not to try a very elaborate pattern, as the bricks blocks might require trimming. Herringbone patterns would entail the cutting of bricks blocks or blocks diagonally at the edges.

BY DRAWING in the actual pattern, you will be able to work out how many bricks blocks or blocks will be needed to pave a predetermined length of path. Then this figure can be multiplied by the overall length of the path to obtain the total number of bricks blocks or blocks that is required.

THE MATERIALS you choose should blend in with their context. There are many types of bricks blocks, blocks, pavers, walling blocks, and paving blocks which are all suitable. You can use bricks blocks and blocks both for the risers and for the treads; face textures may be smooth, pitted or, in the case of decorative cement blocks, resemble split stone. Blocks, although suitable only for the treads, may be smoothfaced, riven, or even geometrically patterned for an ornate appearance.
