What is better brick patio or cement patio(ie cleaning it,cost)?
Snowman obviously doesnt know how to pour concrete. Concrete is easier, brick looks better EDIT: if you dig your footings, add enough rebar and it's the right size(the rebar), it wont crack.
Cement cleans easier than brick. It is contemporary and can be painted or mixed in many colors. Brick looks richer more exotic, more adaptable (Mexican, Mediteranean, South Western or even country) I like them both. Your accessories could make either one enviable.
Cement cracks,bricks do not.I have seen far too many embossed cement patios crack in the last five years.
The hardware stores sell a form that is for the brick or stone look. It's pretty resonable too. You mix the concrete and pour it into the molds and wait for it to set. It's better if you can afford to get two molds of the same type so the work will go faster. YOu can even add certain dye to the concrete when you are mixing it. It comes out looking great. As each one dries you can put it in place.
Brick set in sand. You can change the size of the patio when you want to or the shape of it and replant the grass back. Once you got cement down you are stuck with it. And you can change the brick later for a different pattern or color.
