🧱 Popular Brick Circle Patterns
Running Bond
The simplest pattern with bricks laid end-to-end in a continuous circular course. Requires minimal cutting.
Circular Pattern
Bricks radiate from the center like spokes. Creates a stunning visual effect but requires precise cutting.
Herringbone
Bricks laid at 45° angles create a zigzag pattern. More complex but provides excellent interlock.
Basketweave
Pairs of bricks laid perpendicular to each other. Works well in circular designs with some adaptation.
Fan Pattern
Bricks fan out from center point. Creates dramatic radial lines but requires skilled masonry.
Cobblestone Style
Uses irregular brick placement for a rustic, old-world look. Forgiving for DIY projects.
🔨 Brick Circle Construction Tips
Accurate Layout
Use a string tied to a center point to mark your circle perimeter before beginning.
Dry Layout First
Arrange bricks without mortar to test your pattern and minimize cuts.
Proper Drainage
Slope bricks slightly outward (1/4" per foot) for water runoff.
Consistent Joints
Use joint spacers to maintain uniform width throughout the circle.
Mortar Consistency
Mix mortar to a stiff but workable consistency - like peanut butter.
Curing Time
Keep bricks moist and protect from foot traffic for at least 48 hours after laying.
Note: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual material needs may vary based on workmanship, waste, and specific brick dimensions. Always purchase 10-15% more materials than calculated to account for cutting and breakage.
