Looking to re-do our terrace at some point and originally liked the idea of reclaimed red bricks in a herringbone pattern, with wide grout lines to encourage small plant / moss growth.
But chatting to a building mate has revealed that reclaimed bricks are £1 up a brick.
Does anyone have any ideas? (house is a 50s semi). The current paving is a bit shit and grey, and only laid over rough ground.
Also what's the latest in the year you could lay a new terrace?
Pps any votes either way for painting vs wood cladding for the planters? I'm inclined to paint, 1) for ease and 2) as they'll dry faster if you want to sit on them.
