This question should be asked of suppliers. First what types of bricks are right for the project, then spacing, etc. Ground work or foundation, is key to long lasting success. It would be a shame to have them bust up after the expense and effort, because there wasn't proper gravel or sand underlay. See what is available and appropriate in your locality. Make the pros answer this. If they can't tell you, take your business down the road.

The size of a standard brick is 21/4x31/4x8 inches.House bricks are not really suitable for a driveway,use concrete bricks instead. their slightly smaller than household brick,but will stand up to the load of a heavy vehicle. When laying brick for a drive,you'll need to lay a base of gravel six inches deep.To calculate how many brick you'll need,allow about forty-eight bricks for every square yard.Add five percent for breaking.

Seriously it's 4 1/2 4x8 bricks to the square foot - approximately
6000 for your applicaton.
