Ideas for DIY Brick Projects
Brick masons are incredibly important to the construction industry in that building with brick is an art form which requires skill, strength, and vision. However, we realize that as a home or business owner, you may want to take a crack at construction your own DIY brick project with either newly ordered bricks, leftover bricks from a construction project or “found” or reclaimed bricks. Here are some ideas of how to use bricks for your own personal projects.
Brick Pathways
A way to add more beauty and character to your property is by “breaking up” your outdoor space into sections. One way to do this is to define your spaces with pathways. Masonry Products carries brick and brick pavers which can you achieve your goals. If you’re interested in a unique look, you can use bricks to pave your pathways, or you can purchase brick pavers which were designed for the exact purpose of constructing sidewalks, paths, flooring, parking pads, and more.
Design & Build a Firepit
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces are a great way to create a cozy space to entertain outdoors. Brick is the perfect material to make your fireplace or firepit safe, as well as visually beautiful. There are many videos and articles which can give you step-by-step instructions on how to create and build your outdoor fire pit or fireplace. Start by contacting us to choose your brick and style, and we can recommend the amount of bricks, mortar, and other materials you may need.
Landscape & Garden Beds
Some of your property may allow for you to install your own private garden. Instead of planting your “crops” like a farmer, you might want to make your garden more decorative, a place of meditation, or a bird sanctuary. With brick, you can create raised garden beds and even courtyards with brick flower ledges and arches to grow winding vines. You can use brick to design and build whatever you can creatively construct in your outdoor space.
Decorative Walls & Fountains
Without having to design and build a complete bricked-in space, you can use brick to build half-walls around your property, which help define your space. These decorative walls can be low to the ground or vertical columns to create pathways and separations. You can also use brick to build small or large fountains within your walled-in spaces, creating a private and peaceful place to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature and water, all in one place.
Wildlife Retreats
Brick can be used to attract wildlife to your property as well. If you have a conservative bent, you can use brick to build basins to catch water for small and large animals, which may venture onto your property. Brick can also be used to build beautiful bird baths, which are both pleasing to the eye and functional.
Whatever you imagine for your outdoor spaces, brick is a useful and durable material which can be used to build many DIY projects on your property. Visit one of our showrooms to discuss your brick construction project today!
