Here are some tips to help you make the most of bricks and pavers in your home’s hardscape.
Including bricks and pavers into hardscaping plans goes back centuries. Each remain popular because of their durability, their inherent beauty, and their legendary ease of maintenance.
Often used for patios and decks, bricks and pavers can be installed quickly and with little preparation. When deciding which are the right ones to use, you can either mirror the style of your home in terms of color and style, or you can choose to contrast it. Either will look beautiful when the project is completed.
More important is the size you select. If you want plain and simple, select larger, square or rectangular options. However, if you desire a more creative appearance, select ones that are irregular in size and can be used to create distinctive geometric patterns within the patio or pathway.
Finally, and most importantly, don’t skimp on the preparation. While it doesn’t take long, be sure the area is properly leveled and that the gravel foundation is firmly packed before installation begins.
