From the Forum: Creating a Backyard Patio With Old Brick

Homeowners are hoping to pave their backyard with old brick but are not sure what the costs might be and what kind of contractor would be best for the work. The area they need to cover is about 15 feet by 20 feet and no demolition will be needed, just some leveling of dirt. How much should they budget for the project? What should they know about using old brick before moving forward?

Please chime in with your advice.
