Brick in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Material guide

Brick

Brick is classic, familiar and well matched to many Nashville homes. In patios, walks and edging it ages gracefully.

Brick has been used in Southern landscapes for centuries. Laid in a herringbone, basket weave or running bond pattern, it gives patios and walks a warm, traditional character that suits brick houses and historic homes especially well.

Clay brick holds color throughout, since it is fired rather than coated. It can be laid dry on a compacted base or mortared on a slab. We choose pavers made for outdoor use, and we match tones to the house so the new work looks as if it belongs.
