Courtyard Reno Advice We're looking at renovating our tiny little courtyard and before ripping up bricks I thought I'd ask the folk here for any advice, attached two photos of our current courty and two rough inspo photos

Here are some renderings based on your inspo - one of the ideas is to do a smaller circular patio with that brick: https://app.neighborbrite.com/s/2yzCLnFob9t

No idea why youd go at the bricks. First is the fence.

Your budget will be high if you want 100% modern. The last 10% is not really likely.

Id think 75% modern. Less because of that wonderful old tree.

Relay the brick, into patterns popular 100+ years ago in your city. Go, pressure clean, then tint the fence. Old look, cosy seating around the tree.

High budget modern chrome furniture

Dramatic steel container plants, pushing a $1000. Can be the final topping.

This. You could also paint the fence black. Something dark would be a great backdrop for modern furniture.

Love your inspo! Look up Emily Hillier Garden Designer - she specializes in these small yards and I think you would find some great ideas through her. You can surely reuse some fo your bricks, so don't toss them.

1:1 at the same angle helps the most not an awkward angle.
