Building Blocks for a Perfect Patio

Baked clay bricks and interlocking concrete pavers, which have spacers along the edges to create uniform joints, are small, modular, and lightweight enough to easily fit into place single-handedly. Both result in a fairly smooth patio that you can sweep clean. Clay brick is usually red, but you can also get yellow or gray. Pavers come in gray and muted shades of red, yellow, brown, black, or green.
