Brick Patios

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 or concrete brick

Clay pavers have rich, lasting color and concrete brick offers more variety and value. We show samples side by side.

Pattern changes the look

Running bond is simple and strong, herringbone is intricate and locks tightly and basket weave feels traditional.

Mortared or dry laid

Dry laid brick is flexible and easy to repair, while mortared brick is firm and tidy. The site and style decide.

Edges that hold

Soldier courses and edge restraint keep the field in place and give the patio a clean finish.

Questions

Brick Patios FAQ

Will brick fade?

Clay brick keeps its color, and concrete brick can lighten slowly in the sun. Sealers can deepen color if you want them.

Does moss grow on brick?

Shaded, damp areas can grow moss, and good drainage, sun and occasional cleaning help.

Is brick harder to repair than pavers?

Dry laid brick is easy to lift and reset, and mortared brick needs more work to match.

Can brick match my house?

We bring samples to the house so you can compare color and texture in your own light.

Is brick comfortable to walk on?

Yes. It has a modest texture and good traction, and it stays cooler than many dark surfaces.
