Using bricks creatively can result in an attractive garden path. Different types of bricks can offer a modern or rustic look, depending on your garden style. While horizontal brick laying is common, laying bricks vertically can create a more visually appealing and elongated path. Sophie Gould demonstrates this in a video on Instagram, showcasing the dramatic difference it can make to a garden path.

By changing the brick direction from horizontal to vertical, a garden path can be transformed. This simple adjustment can create a meandering path that leads to a cozy seating area. The use of a brickwork border and planting along the edges softens the look. Vertical brick laying not only enhances the visual appeal but also reduces the need for trimming bricks, saving time and effort. Exploring different brick patterns like herringbone and basketweave can further enhance the aesthetic of your outdoor space.
