brick-patio-design for a relaxing backyard patio.
A brick-patio-design like this one is actually uneven and irregular this gives it an overall look and feel of sophistication. A backyard patio design with a beautiful pattern is also the border between the grass on one side and a waterfall on the other. This is a perfect example of how to build a brick patio that separates ideas and at the same time combines them. The s imple curving shapes of this patio/walkway are relaxing. 
A little different perspective of this patio design. It's actually a walk way from the house to the back gate access. They used to have to walk across the grass in order to access the back gate. Building a brick sidewalk that has small patios built into the walkway was actually the homeowners idea.
We even created a small brick retention wall that matches the design to handle some other problems. You can see the footing in the wall behind has a big step and we had to step the landscaping too. But I didn't want all the water to just run to the low point, unchecked,and flood the patios, so we built the retention wall that curves into the slope and then sloped the grade from the walk toward the base of the retention. At the low point we installed a drain which sends the runoff to a different location in the middle of the lawn. Now when the sprinklers run off or it rains really hard there isn't a puddle of water standing at the gate or on the patio. It's a good solution and the little wall doesn't look half bad.
