With so many different materials available to create great patios, you might think bricks are outdated. But consider the many different designs and shapes, from circles with star shaped patterns to rectangular patios with zigzag patterns, that you can make with bricks. Today, there are different tones from red hues to browns and grays. Bricks are no longer just that deep red color. Brick pavers in Burlington WI are easier to install and cheaper than other options as well.
A landscaping company will be able to install your brick patio in no time and will be able to get just the right colors and design you want. First, they will measure the patio area you want by length and width, then multiply that to get square footage. This will let them know how many bricks, sand and gravel you will need in your patio. Then, they will mark off the patio area with stakes and string so they know where to dig. Your landscaper will dig the patio area about seven inches deep to prepare for gravel and sand foundation followed by brick layers. This will make the patio even with the lawn and give sturdy support. Next, they line the area with landscape fabric to keep weeds from growing up through the cracks of your patio. This is followed by a layer of gravel which is raked out and leveled. Then, a sand foundation is poured and smoothed in between the gravel and on top to help create good water drainage.
Now, they will begin creating the design you selected. If you selected something like a star pattern, they will begin on this pattern first and build around that cutting bricks along the way to fit precisely. For other designs like zigzag, it is easier to start in a corner and work outward to finish the design. If edging is to be done, that pattern will be laid then another layer of sand will be put down. This will be swept in the spaces between the bricks to create a “grout” effect. This keeps your pavers from moving around. The excess can be swept away.
