The walk is pretty much done! Like all projects it isn't completely done but it's done enough to call done :)
Here is the view coming down the driveway

I think it came out really nice! I spent a long time looking for just the right brick. I was able to save about 3000 dollars doing it myself so it was WELL worth it.

Gee, I dunno, that brick on the second tier, fourth from the right looks a little crooked to me.....:p Just kidding, looks beautiful. I would make people take their shoes off before they walked on it. :teeth:

You know, you could have financed that walkway by starting your own Leave A Legacy brick path! :p

The brick looks great. Excellent choice in color. The job probably gave you a good workout too.

That turned out really nice Alex. I think you should put a pick of when the whole thing was torn up at the beginning - I'm sitting trying to remember what it was like all torn up and the difference now and it is amazing!!!!!

You did an awesome job Alex. We did ours with cements with the flagstones pout in. Paid a pretty penny and three years later it is falling apart :( It was only gauranteed for a year :(

Want to come and do ours again???


Nice job :)

What a nice job Alex. It adds to the beauty of your house. My DD lived in Germany for 8 years, and I visited her and her family every year. The one thing I admired was all the brick walkways. And they also bricked the driveways. It was so pretty.

That is a ton of work! One of my buddies just did a brick patio and walk...it took him three weeks [nights and weekends] with his wife supervising;) He saved close to 7 grand...the quotes were around 10k to get it done. Nice job!
