Flowers Beds Made With Interlocking Bricks

Stacked Brick Design

• Use interlocking bricks to make stacked brick designs for numerous flower bed designs including raised flower beds or beds you simply want assorted critters to stay away from. Interlock and stack the bricks in two tiers, three tiers or even four tiers depending on your reasons for creating the stack. Stacked brick designs work well for flower bed border designs, such as winding interlocked, stacked bricks that go around the entire perimeter of a yard.

Shape Designs

• Square and rectangular interlocking brick designs work well for flower beds that sit in the middle of your yard, as do triangular, oval and circular brick designs. You can stack the bricks or simply use one tier depending on preference. Use such designs for flower beds that contain a multitude of different flowers, or create several flower beds, all featuring different shapes and each with its own "theme," such as wildflowers, roses, certain color schemes, and certain shape themes, such as tall flowers only.

Name Designs

• Get even more creative by interlocking the bricks in such as way so as to spell out your child's name, or your name, such as "Lisa's Garden." Plant flowers all around and in between the letters. Use flowers of your child's birth month and flowers that feature your child's favorite colors, or use assorted flowers that have special significance to you, though almost any flower design you choose will look interesting. Make such flower beds in a side area of your lawn if desired.

Line/Divider Designs

• Use interlocking bricks to make "lines" in your lawn, or separators for different types of flowers. For example, if you want to plant iris in one section, then another with tulips, and another with roses, interlocking brick lines are a way of showcasing each type of flower. Make horizontal lines over a flower bed toward a fence or other property border, or create vertical lines on either side of a garden path or small fish pond.
