Pave the Way to Your New Brick Patio

Needs a new project? Leave the house and build a new patio or walkway, although one.

Many patios and sidewalks are made of concrete. If you see something that is not damaged and dirty and do not want to wash every spring, the raw materials to prevent, directly on the surface of the new century.

"There are many advantages to do it," says Laura Schwind registered landscape architect and Pine Hall Brick, the largest manufacturer of paving stones in the United States. "The most important is to seek that the bottom is already in place to improve the appearance of the property immediately without the need for the old concrete and gain."

Concrete, smooth and uniform, the choice of the model now and pavers. Note that this is a "sophisticated" pavers (1 3/8-inch) for these applications, and in some models, such as roof trusses, we are more than other parts.

Then come naturally, "Soldier," the placement of the stones are means perpendicular to the edge of the concrete form of the outer frame of the project. The secret is to go the glue on all four points, the use of bricks in the walls throughout the penny if the rain along.

When military units are perceived, of course, create a layer that contains specific and not place the edges of the felt. Then there is another layer of felt that is perpendicular to the first floor.

Around the corner, because instead of bricks, when 1/8-inch of sand between the paving stones. Finally, sweep the sand left until they are full of cement.

"This is the time and effort," said Schwind. "But worth it. Ultimately, it does not start a new outdoor area where you want to relax ."
