A rustic garden path from built from recycled old chimney bricks. This DIY pathway took me about 15 hours to complete. Its a great cheap option instead of stone and other pricey materials. The total cost was 25 dollars for landscaping fabric. Everything else was either free or left over from other projects. Had a blast with this one. Looking forward to more home renovation, construction, and small shop projects.

use some flexible plastic edging that you can pin behind the large stones to lock them in

Nicely done!

Would you consider using a dry mortar mix rather than sand. The mix could be soaked after laying the bricks. It would set and hold the bricks in place. The sweeping of some of the mix over the surface and into any gaps before wetting, could also help secure the bricks in place and you would not have sand get washed out when the rain comes.

Can you tell us what you used in order on before putting the bricks down?

@trevorsoare6203 2 года назад

Start with landscaping fabric, then roadbase/3/4 minus, which gets tamped. Then sand on top of that. Fill in brick gaps with more sand and tamp again

efekt jest super ale to kiepski pomysł. Cegła to glina i pod wpływem warunków atmosferycznych deszcz, śnieg, mróz, to tylko kwestia czasu kiedy zacznie się łuszczyć.

How do you keep the sand from washing out?

Awesome!! Tomorrow morning I'm going to Lowe's for the final materials grab and then will be working to finish mine by Sunday. I really hope to take semi decent pictures or videos and attempt to upload a video half as good as yours 💪🏼💪🏼

What brand/type of saw did you use for the cuts? I need something a woman recovering from shoulder surgery can use with ease.

@johnhumphreys669 2 года назад

Nice vid. I am doing something similar. How did you clean your bricks please? Mine have quite a lot of lime mortar on them still.

@trevorsoare6203 2 года назад

Thank you sir. I knocked all the big pieces off with a hammer. It should crumble off with some force

@hamburgerklay7679 Год назад

Is there any way I can use some sort of morter in between the bricks to stick them together and fill in the cracks?

@nofurtherwest3474 Год назад

yes you can do mortar.

@mazee8604 Год назад

Would this be a good path to clean when it snows. Need a path just like this going down a hill to the home. Seniors are starting to have trouble walking when it snows and things get icy

@furrycircuitry2378 4 месяца назад

Brick is great in the snow and cold climates it's porus rough surface make it so it has much more traction compared to the cement and tile pavers we commonly see today

@furrycircuitry2378 4 месяца назад

Another good idea is to throw sand on commonly utilized paths to add to the traction and at the end of the freeze you can sweep it up and save it for next year

What's the gap between bricks ?

@trevorsoare6203 Год назад

1/4". I used a speed square as a gauge.

@dunbardunelm3924 Год назад

Gorgeous 💕

@MrSefesi 2 года назад

What did you use to fill in the gaps at the end ?

@trevorsoare6203 2 года назад

Sand should be used

@spencerharvey8044 2 года назад

What did you lay as your base layer?

@trevorsoare6203 2 года назад

I used roadbase

@spencerharvey8044 2 года назад

@@trevorsoare6203 thank you. I’m wanting to do a small brick path in my garden and wanting something fairly straight forward on the base before adding sand! I don’t have any machinery and will be all done by hand.

@homerdadon6363 2 года назад

@danhardy1929 13 дней назад

You should do one then. Come on stop being the problem here. That's how you tell a complainer to stfu. See solution for a problem.

@tomdsouza9167 3 года назад

So just brush in sand and cement to point it

@trevorsoare6203 3 года назад

I used sand. Worked great

Won’t last 5 minutes

@trevorsoare6203 Год назад

You're right, It didn't. needed something to hold the bricks and sand from sagging down the hill on the right side. Poured a concrete retaining wall and reset the outside edge and it's been good ever since.
