Styling a garden isn’t always extremely expensive, it can be done with simple or reclaimed materials and lots of DIY, which reduces the costs. Reclaimed wood and metal are among the most popular materials for styling a garden but this roundup will tell you of another source, it’s about how to reuse old bricks you might have from various building projects, and all of the pieces you’ll see below can be DIYed.
Brick Garden Paths
A brick garden path is classics that can be integrated almost in every garden, from a classic to a modern one. You can vary the looks with different colors and sizes of brick, and even add stone to create a more unusual combo. Brick paths will give a more elegant and sophisticated look to any garden, and you may pair brick with gravel or pebbles for a bolder look. Make a raised edge to add more chic to the garden look.
Brick Garden Bed Edging
Brick is a classic material to make garden bed edging, it’s an easy craft to make and brick will keep the ground in place. Red brick will contrast black mulch making your blooms and greenery stand out, neutral-colored brick will not disctract attention from the plants. Need something trendy? Build a tall round garden bed clad with red brick to grow some trees or greenery.
Brick Garden Furniture
Brick can be used to make some furniture like benches, plant stands and even vanities. To build a plant stand, you will need some bricks and a wooden plaque to put on top, and voila. As for a bench to sit on, it will take more tools, time and effort. My personal favorite on the list is a brick vanity for outdoors, and yeah, it’s a DIY.
Other Ideas
Brick clad patios, steps, walls and fences can be also made of reclaimed brick. Though walls and fences are more difficult to make of not new materials, patios and steps are much easier. These projects can be also DIYed, just look for instructions. Get inspired!
