Diamond Pathway
Traditional Garden, Portland
A unique pathway created using old reclaimed bricks, and patio pavers. The diamond pattern is ostensibly aesthetic, but by using a repeating pattern a sense of rythym is imbued with subtle changes in the patterns size and direction. The pavers are all arranged according to the direction of the path, which makes a distinct contrast to the diamond shape; as if the diamonds were cut into the pavers.
Speaking of cuts, this was not an easy path to construct. It required numerous cuts using a paver saw, and I would maybe opt for an easier pattern if I was a d.i.y. homeowner. Photo: James Wilson
