Hi all,

I have a bunch of cement (gray colored) bricks left by the previous owners. I'd like to do something with them, but I'm not sure what. I built a little path in my shade garden thus far. Any ideas?

I have "paved" a bare area with leftover bricks in my yard and stacked rocks around the base of the tree.

Hi Cunucu, That looks pretty nice. I wish these bricks had some color to them like regular brick. How did you lay those?

I just dug the dirt out a little at a time, scraped it level and laid the bricks in. Then shoveled dirt back on top and swept it into the cracks. A lot of work on my hands and knees so it took me about 4-5 days to get it done.

Build a wall and hide your garbage can and other junk behind it.

make more paths around the garden or make mowing edge so you don't get too close to plants overflowing your beds
