Driveway Brick
Brick Driveway Designs and Pictures

Are you considering driveway brick for your project? What a great choice!

Before you take a look here at some great brick driveway pictures, here is an explanation of some confusing terms.

1. Brick pavers are thicker than regular brick and used for surfaces, such as driveways and walkways.

2. Brick pavers are different from concrete pavers, which resemble brick. Pavers are made from concrete, while brick is made from clay. The natural clay material adds to their beauty.

3. Much brick of today has a high PSI and thus will be strong enough for vehicular traffic. It's even used on streets.

There are many types of driveway designs you can create with driveway brick paving. Circle designs, various patterns and numerous brick colors can all be had to make your brick pavers driveway unique and interesting.

Take a look at some of the lovely driveway brick below.

What a creative design!

They have used numerous circles and connected them all into a flowing pattern.

In addition, the circles have been outlined by two darker colored brick rows to further emphasize the circles and curves.

Notice how the driveway edges are not straight? They have become the edges of the circles.

On the other end of the spectrum, you can opt for a very simple driveway pattern.

This is a simple (but very nice) herringbone pattern laid parallel and perpendicular to the garage.

A driveway trench drain has been installed to collect surface water.

Here is a lovely curvilinear brick driveway. But instead of using newly manufactured bricks, old bricks were installed. This makes for a very unique driveway in that it's not likely you will see this brick around. It has been reclaimed from old brick installations. This type of brick is can be had from Historical Bricks. Their brick (and granite cobblestone) inventory changes periodically based on what is available.

Once again, the herringbone brick pattern has been used on this project by Accent Brick. But do you notice the difference between this photo and the straight driveway above? The direction of the pattern has changed. The bricks were laid on the diagonal to add even more interest.

This is probably the most simple pattern shown here. Yet it's beautiful.

The curve of the driveway, the soft brick color and the nice soldier course all add something to the design.

Even the sidewalk works well.

All these projects have been dry laid with no concrete. With this type of brick installation, concrete joint cracking will never be a problem.

Note: The large Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, Virginia has recently been re-done with dry laid brick paving, replacing the older bricks set in concrete. Vehicles do travel on it at times, attesting to not only the beauty of brick pavers but also the strength.
