How can I upcycle red cement bricks for use in my garden/patio?
Replaced half my garden with a concrete slab (I am 74 years old and can no longer do heavy gardening). I ended up with about 24 of the long (about 30 inches) red scalloped border cement bricks. Any ideas of how to use them in my garden/patio?

You could make tiers in the garden that is left, using them to hold in the additional dirt.
Lie then down and make a tiered section where you could plant some nice flowers. Build upwards.
If you can find resources equal to 5 of these for use on the bottom (or use cement or mortar instead) you can make
Firepit/Planter/Cooler/Sprinkler Housing/Waterfall
7 bricks on the bottom
7 bricks on tier 2
6 bricks on tier 3
5 bricks on tier 4
4 bricks on tier 5
If you want to make a waterfall you should get a Solar Pump, Amazon.com sells Solar Pumps.
maybe lay flat with scalloped edge outward & use them as decorative edge around the cement patio it would add some color and dimension to all the cement.
