Brick Walkway / Repurposed Bricks Before the mud trail returned from the dogs that they form over winter / beginning of spring I had to find a solution. When we bought the cabin we came across a skid load of bricks in one of the existing buildings. So what better way to repurpose them then to make a brick path. My mud trail problem was solved and the look it brought was even better than imagined and added bonus I have more spots to put for plants. First - I dug out the path. About 2 inches of dirt to help prevent weeds and this also helped with making sure they were all level with each other. My 3 year old loved helping me with this part. I was able to utilize the extra dirt in other places around the yard so another added bonus. Second - Lay material down (tarp, boxes, or whatever material you choose to use) to help prevent the weeds from coming up under the bricks. Third -Pick the layout of your bricks. I laid them all the same direction and went with a slight angle...
