Hi! No, you would need to remove the existing bullnose and install new ones using “Mortar” so you’re able to have that 1” lift. Hope that helps! 💪🏼

Great question: it’s called screening. It seems soft because it’s a “fine stone dust”. 😊 hope that answers your question. 💪🏼

Thanks, Mr. Smith! After we adhered the pool coping - We added sand to level the ground and get it ready to receive the pavers. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 👍🏼

@@MILTON_STONE If the concrete went out several more feet would you still use sand or go directly on the concrete?

If you use HPB (high performance bedding) over your compacted gravel base then you don’t need to compact it again.

Thank you. We have been searching for 24x24 grey concrete pavers, but we are going to spray paint the ones we have. I think supplies are limited in my location. I think I have watched all of your videos probably more than once, and they are helpful. 😁

Thanks for the comment James - That’s a great question! Yes you do. Because the driveway is already sloped towards the street, you want to make sure you’re level side to side. When you look at your pavers they should look level with a slope towards wherever you want the water to go. This is a repair so we can’t really change the slope because your bound by the pavers on the sides. Hopefully this makes sense to you lol 😂 thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🦾

That’s a great question! The price will vary from one property to another, depending on the depth of excavation, type of pavers, access, what machine we need to use to get the job done, if any work that needs to be done by hand, location, and other factors. For this reason, we do not charge a fixed rate per square foot. It’s priced per project. But typically a project of this size such as this one can range anywhere around 40k. Plus steps, edging, structures etc. 😊 hope that answers your question! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

It’s best to stay off the sand base. If you step on it you need to level it again.

😊Thank you!

💪🏼 Follow me on Tiktok for more TIPS&TRICKS: @FrancescoPettinelli See ya there! 😊

Thank you! That’s a great question - companies will typically offer anywhere between 2-5 year workmanship warranty on labour. It covers shifting/sinking of the pavers. Usually it will be repaired if water accumulates on the pavers and doesn’t flow off the pavers leaving puddles. It would have to sink an inch.. If it’s really really minor then no need to repair anything. The warranty would not apply if the damages are caused by tree roots, or animals boring under the pavers, or if someone but the person who installed it has tampered the pavers.it wouldn’t cover anything to do with the polymeric sand or cracked pavers, or weeds growing through. The pavers are under warranty from the manufacturer so if they chip or crack or discolored the client would have to reach out to the manufacturer not the contractor who installed the pavers. Pro tip - to minimize any future repairs, take the extra steps to insure the base is extremely solid and we’ll compacted. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and thanks for the great question 😊👍🏼

💪🏼 Follow me on Tiktok for more TIPS&TRICKS: @FrancescoPettinelli See ya there! 😊

Thanks, and great question! To answer that question - I would not recommend installing pavers over tiles… I would remove the tiles first. Yes, you can use polymeric sand. Unless you have mortar at the moment, then just mortar it, but if not, sand is fine. If I misunderstood your question and you meant “resurfacing” existing concrete floors - I still recommend to remove the tiles and I’d recommend the Venetian by Techo-Bloc. It comes in a variety of colors, Slate, Polished or Smooth textures, and backed by a Lifetime Warranty. The BLU by Techo-Bloc is also a wonderful product. Check it out at www.techo-bloc.com 👍🏼 Hope this helps. 😊 Thanks for watching!

Yes, but you will have to use more base material.

@@Holmscapes base as is the sand?

The process of leveling is definitely the same but you may want to opt for 80mm pavers rather than 60mm such as the ones in this video. Also, as Chase mentioned - it will require a deeper excavation to support min 12” of base gravel - NOT sand. Crushed 0.3/4 gravel. We recommend compacting it every 4” lifts. Once your gravel is compacted you will add 1-1.5” of HPB to level for pavers (like in this video). Hope that helps! 👍🏼 thanks for watching!

He means the base below the sand base. Your driveway will require a min. of 12” of 0.3/4 crushed gravel and 1”-1.5” of HPB (high performance bedding). Btw: some people call it sand base, screening, HPB.. but it all serves the same purpose. We recommend HPB as it has the best compaction rate. 👍🏼 good luck 🍀

I appreciate it! That’s a very good question man! Yes that makes total sense. So to answer your questions; on this wall in particular theres 1 row buried, so 3 rows + coping. If the wall is higher you bury 2 rows (but it also depends on the thickness of the block. This one was 6”, some walls are 3”. Generally you wanna bury 30% of the exposed height of the wall. Everything in hardscaping will require a min 8”gravel base (depending where you live) + 1-1.5” of bedding sand/HPB. If you live where there’s cold winters your gravel base should be min 12”. On a few occasions we’ve installed retaining walls directly on gravel but that’s because the wall was huge. By the way the gravel base should only be “0.3/4 CRUSHED GRAVEL” not 3/4 clear gravel because that doesn’t compact well. Another advice; don’t fill the entire wall with soil, there needs to be 12” of CLEAR GRAVEL behind the actual wall to allow for proper drainage so that the soil doesn’t absorb the water and cause pressure behind the wall (or else it shifts). On a retaining wall you’d put a French drain behind the wall at the bottom of the first row level with an exit every 25% of the length. Hope that makes sense lol Once again follow me on tiktok and if you wanna know something just post it in my comments and I’ll make a short tiktok about it (assuming I have the right answers). 👍🏼 Goog luck 🍀

Thanks a lot.. Much appreciated! 👍🏼 let me know if you understand what I’m saying in the comments of the last video lol if not I’d be more than happy to clarify. Thanks for watching! 👊🏻

@@MILTON_STONE hey, thanks for your help. I will have to re read it a few times to understand lol, but I also was talking about bed edging made of stone or concrete blocks, not the paver edging of that makes sense lol

👍🏼Thanks Evan! Lol everyone has there own strengths I guess. How come you learned how to measure and don’t install, are you a salesman/estimator or owner? Yes, I can imagine lol it can be a pain if you don’t know how to measure cubic yards haha I struggled with that as well for a long time before I learned how to. That’s a great advice tho, I will definitely make a video about that… hopefully I don’t screw it up lol jkn 👍🏼 To answer your question regarding the edging - great question by the way! Many install the pavers and then dig along the side of the edge to pour concrete to act as an edge restraint but I find that by doing that you weaken the integrity of the base. In my opinion I feel that it’s better to pour a concrete edging first and then install your pavers. Or you can use aluminum edge restraints with 12” galvanized nails - this is the typical way of doing it. You don’t need no bonding agent for neither one of these options. If you want to use a bonding agent, what you can do is mortar the last row (the edge) and then install up to it. Hope that wasn’t confusing af lol 😂 Thanks for the great question 👍🏼 and hopefully that was helpful.. if not let me know if you have other questions! 👊🏻😎

​@@MILTON_STONE Thank you for responding to me. To answer your question, I learned how to measure at work. I’m not an estimator or an owner (though I’m working on it). I learned how to measure cubic yards because I got really interested in doing paver jobs and I know mulch needs to be measured that way as well lol. I’m in the process of opening my own landscaping company. I know quite a bit about softscaping and how to do it, but I wanna be able to offer more services to hopefully make myself stand out from other companies

I appreciate it.. Thank you very much! Great question! No I have not.. what I’m using in the video is not sand, it’s HPB (high performance bedding). It’s a fantastic aggregate for leveling your pavers and it compacts under pressure very well. Which one do you use? I’m curious. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 👍🏼

That’s a great question! I used to use stone dust when I first started and I’ve installed it like that for almost 15 years.. until I tried working with HPB (high performance bedding) and I’m usdt say that I wouldn’t go back to stone dust or any other base material. HPB is amazing for many reasons; it compacts under pressure, no need to compact it before installing pavers. I find that since I started using HPB I’ve have to do less repairs, that’s a win-win for me lol Hope that answers your question! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏼

@@MILTON_STONE so are you using an 8 inch " A "gravel (or clearstone?) base with 1 inch HPB bed on top ? Or is it entirely HPB ?
