Brick Patio






Starting with two pallets of bricks-- about 8,000 pounds!
We had already laid forms, leveled and compacted 4-6" of gravel
(chips and dust, aka 411's), and 1" of sand.



Then we got started, laying one pattern (running bond) along the pathway and another pattern (herringbone) on the patio area.  We needed to maintain the grade between the house and garage, then connecting to the driveway.  Luckily, we had lots of help from good friends, like Tod!

And Steve!
 


The finished product looks like this...
