Brick walkways, walls, and patios can all be beautiful additions to your home’s outdoor space. However, you don’t need to use new bricks to create something awesome. If you have a pile of unused paving stones laying around, you can easily repurpose them into something great.
Here are a few ideas for what you can do with your old bricks.
- Create a Brick Pathway. Use your old bricks to create a path through your garden, to your front door, or around your backyard.
- Make an Outdoor Bench. Your old bricks can be the perfect foundation for an outdoor bench.
- Build a Waterfall or Pond. You can use your old bricks to create a garden water feature.
- Construct a Firepit. Use your bricks to create a firepit in your backyard.
- Spruce Up Your Tree with a Tree Ring. Create a brick tree ring to give your trees a bit more curb appeal.
- Build an Outdoor Fireplace. You can use your outdoor fireplace as a grill or a comfy place to hang out with the family.
- Hide Planters. Creating brick boxes to hide your planters can help your potted plants fit seamlessly into your outdoor space.
- Create an Herb Spiral. A brick herb spiral is a great way to show off your plants and herbs in a smaller space.
- Line Your Walkway. Adding bricks to a stone or concrete walkway can make your space look more finished, improving your outdoor image.
