Bricks have a classic, enduring look but they have also been changed for the better over the years. They now come in a variety of designs and color schemes. Changes in manufacturing techniques have also added significantly to the life of a brick.
The traditional brick patio or walkway was made with a rectangular, red colored brick. Nowadays, you have nearly endless options of colors and shapes. Using combinations, you can break away from the simplistic look and work in decorative patterns by altering the colors of the bricks or using a unique design. Bricks come in a wide array of colors and are available in a number of shapes from simple squares and rectangles to complex circular shapes. The different styles of brick can be combined to come up with a unique pattern that is custom designed to fit your preferences. You can even add more variety by mixing in pavers.
Bricks are a durable addition to your yard. They require little maintenance and are very easy to repair in case of accidental damage. Bricks are able to take years of foot traffic and can easily handle even the heaviest of patio furniture. They are resistant to fading from exposure to the sun and can withstand decades of weathering even in the harsh extremes of New England.
Each yard offers its own unique possibilities. Make this year the year you add that walkway or patio and begin enjoying your new yard this summer!

During the long New England winter, it’s easy to forget we even have a yard out there under all that snow. The rakes are left unused, the dust piles up on your mower and it seems that spring will never come. But, no matter how much snow mother nature throws at us, the spring always arrives and, with it, plans for the next new addition to your yard can begin!
