The style mimics old fashioned landscaping and there is no need for cutting any of the block paving used if you adjust the overall width accordingly. A great way to make your outdoor patio more interesting, the pattern is also great for partial use in driveway design since it can bring an unusual look to it but we would not recommend it on big open driveways.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1462443805966{background-image: url(https://www.imperial-drivesltd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bg1.jpg?id=68) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]STRETCHER BOND PAVING[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4418″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Stretcher is a simple, visually effective and easy method to install, the paving is laid side by side in a linear pattern that makes smaller areas appear larger.
