7 Brick Designs for Paths and Patios

Mike at How I DIY shows seven distinct designs and how angling the pattern affects each one.

You're right !? I wonder if it is all those nice straight lines and the geometric pattern that give it a modern look?

I know. It looks so earthy and old-fashioned, yet modern. How could that be?

One company (I think it's E P Henry) makes brick pavers with holes in them for grass. The idea being that you can use them for a driveway and the brick protects the grass from being crushed by car tires. I always thought it would be so cool to have a driveway like that.

Thanks for this! We're thinking of doing a patio this summer, and these patterns will be helpful.
