In addition to using bricks in 'hard-landscaped' areas, you could
obviously set them into grass.  The photograph below shows an
interesting layout, with bricks used to create 'Roman Numerals'.

Our next picture shows a "Sunclock"  layout which has also used
Roman Numerals on its Hour-markers, and (although the material
looks like this might be brick)  -  it is actually concrete, which has
had its markings 'stamped' into the parts when these were made.
 
Note that, around the Northern edge of this layout, there is a ring
of blocks  -  displaying names of people in their local community,
who had contributed towards installation of the 'Human Sundial'.
 
It is sited outside a library at Jemez Springs  (New Mexico, USA),
with the lower photograph being a wider-angle 'aerial' viewpoint.

Due to the popularity of our "Sunclocks", several manufacturers
now provide a ready-made 'kit' of component-parts  -  in order to
satisfy the demand from customers who prefer not to make their
own layouts.  One such kit is produced by "Marshalls" (the large
UK-based supplier for 'paving' materials), who had initially made
the parts in terracotta brick  -  as illustrated in our picture below.
 
They now market very similar "Sunclock"  kits in a 'stone effect'.

However, the professionally installed layouts will be expensive
(several thousand Pounds), plus are mainly used by Architects !
 
Here is a 'close-up' photograph, of the "Marshalls" central Date-
scale section of their kit.  This picture was featured on the front
cover of "What's New in Building" magazine, in December 1993.
 
Note that it also has an optional 'motto' panel, ("Walk in the sun
now and always"
)  -  with a 'compass rose', at its Northern end.

Another nice 'stone effect' kit is also available from "Fosstone",
and at a much lower cost  -  as illustrated in the pictures, below,
which show a section of their Date-scale and two Hour-markers.
 
You can click this link, to visit the "Fosstone" web-site for more
details  -  or telephone Martin Hoggart, on: 01904 750910 (York).

Rather than brick, concrete, or 'reconstituted' stone  -  you may
instead prefer to own a "Sunclock"  which has been made from
real stone  material, and clicking on this link will take you to the
page which has details plus photographs, of several such 'kits'.
 
Bear in mind, however, that those will be more expensive (and
are heavier for transportation), than 'reconstituted' stone parts !

Should you have any questions, then please contact us via our
Response Form  -  or click on this link to see why "Sunclocks"
have become so popular, when compared with other sundials.
 
 
Remember you could also make money with Human Sundials,
so please contact us if you may be interested in generating an
income, from this very unusual 'opportunity'.  We suggest that
you telephone us, plus ask to speak direct with Douglas Hunt,
whose sundial plans have been in use world-wide since 1986.
 
Douglas should then be able to discuss several 'possibilities',
and give some advice suited to your personal circumstances.
 
 
Our unique sundial designs are located in numerous different
situations  -  from Schoolyards, to private gardens and Parks.
 
These are particularly popular within the Educational Sector,
due to many 'curriculum-wide' aspects, of a Human Sundial !
 
All of our sundial layouts are 'customized', for your location,
so you can be sure that they will indicate correct clock time.
