Brick Paver Considerations

Consider adding paver bricks to your landscape design to accentuate certain areas and to help bridge walkway paths in your home’s front or backyard. Paver bricks can be used to create beautiful outdoor designs and patterns.
One of the main pathways created by paver bricks is to the front or back door. Some homes use paver bricks for the driveway and that could be a consideration as well.
One of the first options to bear in mind are the colors and style of the paver bricks you intend to use. Either match your existing brick style and colors from your home, or create an entirely new design. The outdoor styles and themes are limited only by your creativity.
Once you decide on colors and styles, you’ll next want to think about shapes, sizes, and types of bricks. Use rectangles, squares, triangles, pentagons, hexagons and octogons to make imaginative designs. Remember with different colors there is the potential to make your brick paver walkway a truly beautiful piece of art.
Interlocking paver bricks are less likely to shift over time, therefore maintaining your creation for years to come. Areas that have heavy traffic such as driveways and busy walkways perform well when fully interlocked shapes are used.
Some common layment patterns include herringbone, standard American, basketweave and the pinwheel layment patterns. You can create unique brick paver designs by varying their size and color, and visit your local home improvement center to see a variety of brick paver designs.

Love your blog. I have a question. I have some clients that have paver bricks in their driveways that have weeds growing out of it like Medusa. After reading your article I didn’t know about interlocking pavers, I guess maybe they don’t have interlocking pavers or will the weeds eventually come through these too?
And i think I will tweet this article for my followers as well. maybe see you there. Or if you’re in our “neighborhood” stop in say hi.
