    Hi Rick,

    This is actually my front courtyard. Unfortunately,
    the bricks were existing when I moved in, but are certainly a mix of
    brick the previous series of owners had put in, Part of the house was
    built in 1890, so it has a long history! Many are crumbling and will
    need to be replaced when they get too bad. For now I chalk it up to
    character!

    When I want brick for a job that looks old, I purchase
    brick that had been "tumbled". That softens the edges such as seen in
    the Moorish Inspired Courtyard. If your local supplier caries a
    "flash blend" that will add some variety to the color much more like you
    see in my brick. Some brick suppliers can even ass a lime slurry to the
    tumbling process to give it a white washed look.My supplier is Kinney Brick in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
