Dear James: I want to add a decorative brick walkway around my muddy flower gardens. Is this a typical DIY project, or will I need a contractor who uses mortar joints?—Glenn P.
Dear Glenn: With various brick colors and textures, brick walkways are both beautiful and simple to install. The best part about them is you can complete the project at your own pace. There is no rushing to finish a step or waiting for hours as something dries. You can take your time, as long as you don’t mind a mess in your yard. But in the end, the look of your new brick walk will be worth a little mess.
