Since the time we moved to our home, about 6 years ago, we were given some very old bricks that my father had cleaned up and put on a pallet. Well we are finally getting around to doing something with them.
We picked the spot near our gate in our backyard in hopes we could keep the dogs from digging in the mud and making a mess. Also we could put the grill and perhaps the firewood on them and keep the area cleaner.
So far we used a cubic yard of 3/4 crushed gravel and a yard of concrete sand. We edged the whole thing using Col-Met metal edging so it might hold up better to any traffic that may roll through here.
The plan is to bring up the grade to meet the bricks. We plan on adding more gravel or dirt and grass. Not quite sure on that one yet.
Plan is to finish this patio this weekend using the rest of the bricks and some more edging (we ran out). Keep an eye out for another post with the completed brick patio.
