Patio Design Tips

Trying to come up with a unique patio design? Keep in mind the following tips when getting started:
  • Gather your materials and measure and level the ground in a square or rectangle (rectangular shapes are easier to build on).
  • Crushed rock should be added to the area. Use about 6” worth, and smooth it with a gravel rake so that the site is flat.
  • Using brick? Make sure they will fit properly before attempting to lay them down.
  • When placing the bricks, start in one corner and press each into the sand. You will want them to be as tight together as possible.
  • Once the bricks are laid, finish by pouring a layer of sand over them. Use a hose to wash the sand into any cracks.
