A classic herringbone pattern was used to create the ideal contrast for this magnificent urban driveway project.

Starting at the foot of the driveway, a thick band of Unilock Copthorne pavers in a 3-color blend, combined with a quadruple row of Copthorne going up both sides of the driveway mirror the red tone of the home’s brick façade. The herringbone paver rug was a wonderful choice for this section of the project because it is one of the paving patterns that resists shifting under the added strain of turning vehicles. Copthorne pavers are part of the Elegance family, whose authentic surface textures are cast using Reala technology, and made highly durable thanks to Ultima concrete, delivering up to four times the strength of conventional poured concrete. Copthorne is a popular paver choice for border accents, pathways, and residential driveways because of its deep, rich colors, which are inspired by the weathered elegance of European street pavers.

Moving up the driveway, we transition to another timeless classic in Unilock Richcliff, where Dawn Mist and Pebble Taupe are utilized together. The faint hue of Pebble Taupe closely aligns with the color scheme echoed by Unilock Copthorne and the exterior brick of the home, creating visual cohesion. Richcliff, which has a flagstone texture, is a durable material to work with because it is practically indestructible, unlike natural stone, which can split, crack, and fade. Richcliff also benefits from being a member of the Elegance family, much like Copthorne, and is sold in a random bundle of three sizes for a variety of different pattern options.

Low planter walls provide subtle elevation and create natural green spaces on both ends of the driveway, while the garage is adorned with wall lanterns to help guide guests up to the front entrance. The end result is a remarkable pairing of Elegance products to create a highly durable herringbone driveway with timeless curb appeal. Unilock has several paver ideas to help liven up your driveway project.
