Concrete Stamp or Bricks?
Hello. I recently bought a house where the previous owner installed red bricks in the backyard and I would like your thoughts and opinion on what I should do? I'm thinking of replacing the bricks with a stamp concrete design or perhaps restrain the existing brick. If I install concrete stamp, will I get my investment back and more?

What's wrong with what you have there, looks like it is in good condition. Are you flipping this house, holding as a rental, or personal residence? Unless what you currently have is not serviceable, I doubt you'll get any return on tearing it out and replacing at all.
