Brick Patios

Clay Paving Brick offers permanent color and a centuries old classic look that has proven it can pass the test of time.
Many walks over 200 years old and still in good shape can be seen in older sections of Philadelphia.
Clay Paving brick is installed over a compacted base of modified and screened stone with many available patterns and styles.
Clay Brick can be formed in a mold or wire cut during it formation for very different looks.
You can find more information on various types of brick on the Glen-Gery website.
One disadvantage of traditional bricks is that they can absorb more water than concrete bricks; therefore algae can be more of a problem in shady areas.
All patios shown were constructed by Robert J Kleinberg Landscape Design & Construction. Please view some examples of our brick patios below.

Glen Gery 53DD Mixed With Old Existing Clay Brick Patio – Newtown Square, Delaware County, PA 19073

Existing Bricks were taken up from the old patio beside this old farmhouse, and mixed with Glen Gery 53DD bricks. Because the old bricks were not sized properly for basket weave or herringbone, the new bricks had to not only to match the color , but the size. The new patio was installed using a running bond pattern with a soldier course on the outside. A few steps were added and flagstone walk between the steps.

Brick Patio With Old Existing Clay Brick – Havertown, Delaware County, PA 19083

This house had been vacant for a couple of years and had major grading and drainage problems. The soil was too high against the back of the house and the existing patio was pitched towards the house. We had to take the whole area down and construct a wall away from the house so we could pitch the patio away from the house. The old bricks were put back using a basket weave pattern. (New siding on the house was installed by another company.)
