Default Brick paver Walkways

Do they come in a 1/2 or 1/3 size? If you can mix them up a bit
with short ones you can make the curve much faster if you need to.
To figure out how much of a gap you need to make to curve them- think
of each side of the brick as the edge of a circle. You extend the
diameter of the outside by about 1/4" per brick with the gap. If you
can find matching bricks in 4x3's you can extend it 3/4" in the same
space.


Nope. Unfortunately the only size is 4x9 for the color etc...that we're
after. It's a local brick company that's been around for years but their
pavers are just the one size.

The only
decision left to really make is whether I want just the plain bricks or
tumbled bricks....hmmm.


If you are going to *have* to cut them- don't get tumbled. Your cut
edges will stand out. Otherwise, the tumbled ones hide a multitude
of sins.

I figured with tumbled, I could do some rough chipping on the edges to make
them fit in. But I don't think my wife is liking the tumbled so I'll
probably just stick with the regulars, which have no eased edges.
