BRICK STEPS
Brick is a material used a lot to create steps on areas like tanhouses or HOA's. This is done to differenciate one neighbor from the other thanks to the color and size options of the bricks themselves. Brick steps are rather durable and easy to fix. Its a middle ground between the more economical concrete and the more expensive stone steps. This material can be used not only to build new set of steps, but also to cover old existing concrete steps that might be in need of repair or complete overhaul. Whatever the need, there is always a brick that can fit your preference. This is not a recomended DIY project...
