banding tile on banding tile on concrete

Here is a more elaborate version of the tile banding on concrete paving. This is exposed aggregate, salt finish concrete with terracotta tile banding. The tile banding pavers also have decorative rope style tile banding on them. This is another exterior paving style at Hearst Castle.

basket weave terracotta paving

This basket weave terra cotta paving layout has random decorative tile inserts as well as plain, matching terra cotta tile inserts. Sometimes it looks even better with fewer decorative tiles and more plain ones. This is another paving style outside of Hearst Castle.

terracotta steps with decorative tile risers

These are classic spanish style steps with terracotta tile treads and decorative tile risers at Hearst Castle. I like the varying tread width on curving steps.

This is a nice weave pattern of brick with hand painted clay tiles in the spaces. This paving is in one of the outdoor patios of Hearst Castle.

marble pool rails

These are beautiful, solid marble handrails at the Hearst Castle Neptune pool. If the pool stair rails are marble, you can imagine the house.

cobble steps with planted joints

Here is another example of river rock or cobble stone steps, but this set has planted or soil joints where plants have been allowed to fill in. The planted joints have a more natural, rustic appearance compared to the mortared joint cobble stone steps.
