The pathways to garden inspiration...

With their warm earth tones, brick walkways blend easily with the environment and bring a solid, established look to a garden. While these paths may seem to meander, careful planning can help showcase your beautiful plants and flowers. Then there's the practical benefit: brick walkways help keep your shoes cleaner as you do your gardening chores.

You'll like how versatile bricks are – they blend in with just about any style of architecture, and you can lay them to accommodate formal or informal garden designs. Plus bricks give you the flexibility to complete the project in stages over the course of a few weekends, unlike concrete, which has to be worked immediately.

Here are 6 of the designs you could use for your yard and garden. The easiest is Jack-On-Jack. Herringbone takes patience, as does Basketweave.
