Bricks are a timeless building material in the U.S. These bricks are made from fire or sun-dried clay and can withstand the elements while maintaining a classic beauty. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that’s what makes them a popular choice for both structural and decorative accents outside the home. When it comes to outdoor spaces, you can enhance elements like fire pits, walkways, flower bed edging and more with bricks. Technically, brick elements in your outdoor area are known as the hardscape: parts of the landscape that are not alive. Hardscaping can help beautify the area without adding the extra maintenance that living plants require. A brick walkway adds beauty to your garden area, front entrance, or another focal point in the yard. With an entire walkway made of brick, you have the opportunity to select an intriguing pattern that draws the eye and maximizes decorative appeal.

If you want to install a brick paver walkway, you’ll need to excavate the path, pour one to two inches of graded base, add a sand layer, and install temporary guardrails as a border before you lay any bricks. Then, to keep the bricks from moving, you pour masonry sand between the pavers and wet the path down, adding more sand as needed. All in all, it’s a project calling for a “moderate” skill level and two eight hour days.
