Demonstration
Follow this simple guide to build your own brick patio.
Step 1
Place two wooden stakes into the ground about 12” past the length and width of the patio. Then stretch some string between all sides of the future patio.
Step 2
Dig your area 7” deep. It will need a slight slope to it to promote water run-off. Cover landscape fabric with about 4” of gravel, then make the surface as level as possible and tamp it.
Step 3
Add a 1” layer of sand and then screed the sand to make the surface level and even, and then tamp it down.
Step 4
Check to make sure it is level with the guide strings, and then tamp.
Step 5
Choose a brick pattern, and begin to lay bricks down starting at one of the corners, leaving 1/4” between each one. Make sure to level them with a Carpenter’s level on a piece of wood.
Step 6
Then sweep sand onto the bricks to fill in the spaces and continue until they are all filled. Carefully rinse with water.
