How Do You Create A Brick Paver Path?
A brick paver path is a welcoming addition to a garden, an entryway or a walkway up to a secluded and relaxing retreat. You do not need a week off work or heavy equipment to build a simple and durable path. The most difficult part of the project is preparing the bed. In placing the pavers themselves, sand is a forgiving material, even if your bricks are of varying heights. A simple three-foot wide by fifteen-foot long brick-in-sand walkway can be accomplished in a weekend and last for years. All you need are a few tools and a design. Sketch out your path design on graph paper and determine the number of bricks needed for the project. (a common brick is 8″ by 4″ by 2 3/8″). Increase your estimate by five percent. Also, figure out how much masonry sand you need for a sand base that is 1 1/2″ deep over the course of the path. Use a measuring tape to mark the length and width of the pathway. Use marking paint to outline your path on the ground. Use a shovel to dig up and excavate the dirt
