Reclaimed Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nThis brick patio from @williamshousellc<\/a> was constructed with antique, reclaimed brick. Reclaimed brick is not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint but also has a gorgeous, weathered patina that can't be replicated with new materials. A light slurry was added to the completed patio to create a more cohesive finish.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> Reclaimed bricks' color and texture variations add unique character to any outdoor project.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Light Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nBrick comes in all different shades\u2014good news for those who aren't fans of the classic red color. The light color clay brick used for this patio by @deroseesa<\/a> helps match the light, fresh, and airy style of the home's interior. The herringbone pattern of the patio pairs nicely with the classic running bond pattern in the built-in bench seating.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> \"Clay brick pavers were designed to excel in outdoor applications, exuding natural warmth and classic charm while providing brick's practical benefits,\" says Leese.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brick Veneer Patio<\/h2>\r\nOne drawback to a brick patio is the price. \"Although brick patios provide long-term value, they are among the more expensive paving options upfront,\" says Leese. For a more affordable option, @taneaterracotta<\/a> installed brick veneer on her front patio. The thin brick pieces have an easy installation process similar to laying tile using a thin set, corner spacers, and grout.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> Brick veneer can be installed over an existing concrete patio, so you can skip the demo work and save time and money.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Classic Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nHere's an example of a classic red brick patio that will never go out of style from @paulajwoolley<\/a>. The dark red color provides a nice contrast to the house's gray siding and is made even more beautiful by the display of potted plants and topiaries arranged along the steps.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> An entry patio like this is the perfect location for brick. According to Leese, \"Brick is extremely durable, requiring minimal maintenance even in high-traffic areas like patios.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walled Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nBrick is an extremely versatile building material, so it can be used for additional patio features like built-in seating, retaining walls, and low perimeter walls like the one seen here from @tilly_design. The wall helps define the patio area from the rest of the wall, and can be used as bench seating when needed.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> \"With diverse style options and flexible design possibilities, brick patios can be customized to suit a wide range of aesthetic preferences and functional needs,\" says Leese.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@cuttingedgestencils\/video\/7231625298163404075\" data-video-id=\"7231625298163404075\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" > <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@cuttingedgestencils\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@cuttingedgestencils?refer=embed\">@cuttingedgestencils<\/a> \u2600\ufe0fSUMMER READY\u2600\ufe0f What do you think? Faux brick patio makes for a perfect summer get together! \u201cDrab to fab concrete patio and porch We had a new concrete patio poured months ago to replace our rotted deck and I hated the look of it. Raw concrete gets dirty and shabby really fast. I saw someone stenciled their patio as a faux brick and I knew I had to do the same. It was a lot of work but so worth it. The stencil it\u2019s self was great, high quality and gave me the look of stone for a fraction of the price. I primed the concrete then rolled on a solid behr concrete stain in Amardillo. Then used three colors: Perfect Penny, Potter\u2019s Clay and Cider Spice, plus some white wash as highlights all Behr exterior stain blocking flat paint. I used 2\u201d chip brushes for the stencil and a sponge for the edges. I loved the patio so much I did the same to our front porch. Truly so amazing and stunning. Our friends and family couldn\u2019t believe how great it came out.

Stencil Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nHere's how to make your own brick patio using paint! The herringbone brick pattern<\/a> was created with a stencil from @cuttingedgestencils<\/a>. First, prime the concrete, then start painting in the stencil with a chip brush. Use three different shades for a more authentic look, and whitewash for highlights. It's a time-consuming process, but the results are worth it.\r\n\r\nWhat We Like About It:<\/strong> This is a great way to get classic brick style for a fraction of the cost.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@diydanie\/video\/7381103554058013957\" data-video-id=\"7381103554058013957\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" > <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@diydanie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@diydanie?refer=embed\">@diydanie<\/a> *Budget Friendly* DIY Exterior Entryway Makeover \ud83d\ude0d how to create a brick paver patio yourself! <a title=\"diylifestyle\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diylifestyle?refer=embed\">#DIYlifestyle<\/a> <a title=\"diy\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diy?refer=embed\">#diy<\/a> <a title=\"entryway\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/entryway?refer=embed\">#entryway<\/a> <a title=\"brick\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/brick?refer=embed\">#brick<\/a> <a title=\"brickpatio\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/brickpatio?refer=embed\">#brickpatio<\/a> <a title=\"brickpattern\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/brickpattern?refer=embed\">#brickpattern<\/a> <a title=\"herringbone\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/herringbone?refer=embed\">#herringbone<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Souvenir De Paris - Martin Taylor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Souvenir-De-Paris-7013614582715385858?refer=embed\">\u266c Souvenir De Paris - Martin Taylor<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\r\n

DIY Paver Brick Patio<\/h2>\r\nNothing beats the rich texture of real brick, but you can use concrete pavers for a similar look. Pavers are generally cheaper than brick and, in this case, the pavers were free!
