Line planter beds to create a garden edge in areas that break up the greenness of everything. Bricks are an excellent way to make a long-lasting garden and carry a very low cost for upkeep. Brick offers a weatherproof style that lasts for years.

This is a basic landscaping plan, but it makes good use of brick pavers and stone in the garden. The bricks are being used to create a focal point rather than as a pathway.
