Classic brick patios in running bond, herringbone and basket weave patterns, set on a firm base for a warm, traditional look.
Brick has been a patio surface for centuries, and in Nashville it fits everything from historic homes to new builds with brick fronts. It has a warm, familiar color, a comfortable scale and patterns that range from simple to elaborate. A brick patio can echo the brick of the house or contrast with it, and the surface ages gracefully with a bit of care.
Your installer helps you choose brick type, color and pattern, then excavates and compacts a stone base, sets edge restraint and screeds bedding sand. Bricks are set in the chosen pattern, cut neatly at the edges and fixed with joint sand or mortar. You approve the pattern and borders in writing, and the plan covers drainage, steps and how the patio meets the house.
Clay pavers have rich, lasting color and concrete brick offers more variety and value. We show samples side by side.
Running bond is simple and strong, herringbone is intricate and locks tightly and basket weave feels traditional.
Dry laid brick is flexible and easy to repair, while mortared brick is firm and tidy. The site and style decide.
Soldier courses and edge restraint keep the field in place and give the patio a clean finish.

You tell us how you want to use your outdoor space. One call sets up a visit that fits your day.
A designer walks the yard, measures, notes slope, drainage, sun, trees and utilities and listens to your goals.
You see a layout, materials and a written scope with the base, drainage, structures and schedule before anything begins.
Utility marking is requested, the area is excavated and a compacted stone base and drainage are built first.
Surfaces, walls, structures and features are built in a clear order, with checks and photos along the way.
The site is cleaned up, the space is explained on a walk-through and care tips are shared.
Clay brick keeps its color, and concrete brick can lighten slowly in the sun. Sealers can deepen color if you want them.
Shaded, damp areas can grow moss, and good drainage, sun and occasional cleaning help.
Dry laid brick is easy to lift and reset, and mortared brick needs more work to match.
We bring samples to the house so you can compare color and texture in your own light.
