Getting Started

Garden patios require plenty of pre-measuring of the are where the patio is going to be. This is something that deffinitely needs to be just the right size without looking too large. Also remember that rectangular designs tend to be much easier to carry out than curved designs, so if you are beginner, then rectangular is going to be the best way for you to go.

To excavate an area for garden patios you will normally need to dig up an area that is at least 8 inches deep. Take a level and check that your excavation’s floor slopes away from the house, so that when there is rainfall the rain will drain away from the home and patio rather than towards it. Lay your brick pattern but do not set it into place until you are sure that it is exactly as you want it. After you are content with the layout then you can spread the sand set your bricks in place. One suggestion to help keep the bricks nicely in place is to place them carefully in a basket weave formation.
