How Outdoor Patios Are Grouted With Sand - Навчання та стиль
You can really see the difference of quality when someone is passionate about what they do.
For real though. This guy has got it. Amazing
So much effort and determination
You think that guy is laying tiles?
@@jakx2ob he might be. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Most great employers will put in work with their employees. My old landscaping boss had the biggest landscape business in town. He worked his ass off every day with us.
Passionate about money hahha
So satisfying to see things done properly the first time! Yes, it’s going to cost more but is definitely worth the investment.
Poor men pay twice
Last contractor I worked for INSISTED you was to wash it in FIRST and it never worked well 😅
It should cost less to do it properly once. The worst is paying a none cheap price and getting a botched job and so even then having to pay more.
@@ge2719
Even worse a botched job cost more to redo. You don't get a second chance with concrete.

In Norway, per most recent building practices, we'd actually just use fine sand in the gaps and have at least two to three layers of masses of different fractions in the fundament. He kinda mentions that a climate with a freeze-thaw cycle demands more give, but I really don't think people from different climates realize the importance of that point. It's not that people dislike cement as a material or want to inflate the work costs, but I've seen the difference between how cement and sand hold up here and the answer is simply that cement doesn't. If simply poured over a surface and used as a base it gets serious damage very quickly. Within three years it has loose bits all over the place. Like this isn't to undermine the fact that methods that don't work in certain climates may work well in others, but I've seen a lot of people in the comments call this man's method redundant, which is just plain wrong. Per the standards where I come from what he actually skips out on a layer or two. Which I'm guessing is because of lower levels of wear and tear on the surface among other things that I won't get into.
Will the sand last long? How does it not get swept away by weather like rain?
@@heyjohnsmith Not from what i've seen. But if you have a small leak in a waterpipe or ants moving the sand, that causes damage.
I watched the whole video. why did I watch this? I mean it was entertaining and informational dont get me wrong, but it was completely randomly recommended and has nothing to do with anything in my life, but now im oddly fasinated with outside patio design. good job to whoever made this you made an odddly fasinating video
Welcome to the UA-cam recommendations algorithm
lol Me too!
Same here XD 🤣
The company that built our house sucked at building houses, our driveway was absolutely riddled with ants up until a few weeks ago when we had a professional come and fix it for us. It wasn’t just the drive that was the problem they did a lot of cutting cost methods that when it’s as built was fine but as the house got older became an issue. You should always hire someone who’s compassionate about their job if you can like these people.
As a Mexican laborer. It’s awesome to see more Mexican laborers do the best work
this must be the most satisfying job you could find
In the uk, not sure about the rest of the world but in the uk, Kiln Dried Sand is generally used for gap filler in outdoor patios / brick/block paving if your not cementing.
Polymeric sand is becoming more popular in the uk. Just depends if people want to pay for it.
I did my parents garden, wasn't block paving lioe this with small gaps though, full stone slabs with 10mm gaps, ended up making a funnel tray out of some wood, and a 8mm thick peice of wood for a tamper so i didnt have to use a vibrating machine. Just put the funnel along a join, pour in the sand, and push it into the crack with a piece of wood thats thinner than the joint gaps, tamp it down. Works really well to get it really compacted in there and get a consistant fill height to all the joints. Much less messy than mortar/concrete.
Shoutout to those hardworking men👏🏻
When you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait till you hire an amateur.
This is top notch next level craftmanship
Feels like beautiful asmr
oh my god these patios are beautiful
La raza doing some quality work.
Si senior
This is really satisfying to watch
Absolutely beautiful work. ❤️
I used to work with this thing since I was little, 14 years old, and now I have my own dream to to a job from it!
Sand is so awesome
WOW! Nunca imaginé todo el proceso para hacer una terraza! Aprendo mucho en los videos de éste canal: gracias! Saludos
Lets just hope it never rains in the middle of the process
Or the sprinkler system comes on lol
Super nice! If I ever need my dream backyard built Ik who to call.
Loved laying sets when I was a brickkey
Takes me back to high school learning all this
Very informative, thanks
Nice. Seems so much easier and cleaner than concrete.
Just wow
Thats pretty cool
Thanks
I did this last weekend. Not hard if you're smart and strong.
I would sweep for 20yrs and retire doing this no problem.
Great video
Perfect candidate for /r/oddlysatisfying
YAA OKAYYYYYYY!!!
I sure as hell hope they’re paying their workers a competitive wage.
Depends on their legal status. If they're illegal, they normally are paid a lower wage. If they're citizens, they're paid an adequate wage.
Most illegal. They get cash paid under table. They pay no taxes. Business wins also by claiming less workers and paying 401k, etc.
@@benrichards9667 this is an official business…with official employees with skills and merit. why would you assume that these men are illegal just because they’re Hispanic?
@@ang1692 most are. They pick them up at home depot. They can't speak a kick of English. So, most likely illegal.
@@benrichards9667 Yes those men do exist, I live in a predominantly Hispanic area. But my family is Hispanic and LEGAL and also does work like this. Even if they were illegal how is that relevant? They should still be receiving good pay
Worked at a place that sells this type of sand so interesting how it works
I don’t even own a home but I’m watching this.
You will pay more, but I will happily pay for such workmanship.
Playground sand works great too if you're sealing the pavers right away, and it won't get dark when it "dries". As much as I hate the smell (and the price), solvent-based acrylic sealed pavers look SO much nicer than plain stone.
nice
seen this bein done from far away in wolvo last week n thought they dropped compo everywhere 😂
Lovely presentation, but how does water work on this? Like the lower layer of this is basically pebbles wrapped in a huge sheet that will easily contain water but make it hard to escape due to the layer of tiles. Can anyone tell me how it works out?
Water will just seep through the fabric into the soil, it's not water tight
He just said when you spray it with a water hose, the polymeric sand hardens and locks it in place.
So logically if there was a water "infiltration" from below, the sand would harden instead of getting washed away...
When people make pools and stuff like this what do they do with all the dirt they dug out?
Most of the time they will put up a ‘Clean Fill’ sign. So either people will contact you to drop it off or they’ll come pick it up for free, or they pay you a small fee. This is the easiest way of getting rid of it as clean fill is always in demand and so it’s gone quickly and off the site.
@@roryobrien6742 that's funky ty :D
I do it completely different but hey that works to
I installed our patio about 16-1/2 years ago. After thoroughly power washing and removing weeds and moss then cleaning with a Zep cleaner and again power washing, I've carefully applied the polymeric sand, blown off the excess, and adequately misted the entire surface. It's been dry overnight with no rain. I have a very convenient window of time today. Can I seal the patio after waiting only 24 hours for it to dry?
Has to be a nice company to work for
That looked more like filter fabric than woven geotextile. What fabric was actually used and what state was the job in? I follow the industry standard recommendation of woven geotextile.
Nice results. Polymeric Sand sounds like microplastics thought. Does anybody know the composition of this?
I want to do something like this for my about 900 sqft backyard, but just to pour concrete would probably be an easy 15k+. Seen other channels on here say they do barely a back patio for $5k
Depends how much work you can do yourself. If you can do it yourself you at least know youre going to not cut corners and make it end up costing more.
Even doing it with the cheapest concrete pavers, making sure they are on a solid base thats not going to shift, using polyeric sand on the gaps to get a nice colour, can make it more cost effective than really expensive stone and still look good because its done with care.
Most of the time geap pavers look even worse because the person laying them doesnt care how they end up looking.
My parents garden was a miss match of different sort of pavers pieced together over years with patches on concrete, even had square ones with a section of hexagonal ones just with a bunch of sloppy concrete filling the gaps, it was a mess.
How do they clean up the excess sand without affecting the sand that they want to remain in between the stones/bricks?
Minute 1:58 Radius singular - Radii Plural
now that's gonna be 10k
Never seen paving laid on stones before,but I suppose it must work if you do it all the time.
Idk why but i feel ashy after this 🌵
Fine sand ? Second sweep ? Vibrators and washing on top ? I was wondering why the pavements in my country looked nothing like these... All they do is to drop grainy sand and let pedestrians do the work..
How did you manage to level and tamp the crushed stone clearly horizontally?
Put in several wooden or metal pegs/posts in the ground around the outside of the area you want level. Make sure there's no movement in them. Then run a string between each one and level the string, and you can make it the same height as you want the layer to go to, or take it a few inches higher. Fill the area in and measure down from your string to make sure its uniform distance from the string across the whole area. You may need to remove the string each time you tamp down the layers, then put the string back for the next layer. But you should put the posts somewhere where you can leave them in, that will make it easier. Since you can put a mark on them. Just double check the strings are all still level.
In India 🇮🇳 we use apoxy resin with glass mixture to fill the joints
Imagine all that sand in your shoes after work
Me and my uncle just used fine sand works without problems
I'm going to have to agree with Anakin on this one.
In Denmark we've been doing this since the 20s. But back then they used sand to fill up the cracks.
1920😉
It would be great if instead of using plastic nylon layer to use something that can let water through. Because soon after the first winter, it will be filled with water and can give a bad smell.
Is the textile, water permeable?
Geotext fabric should be water permiable yes. You dont want to trap water under your patio.
Wonder if the pavement could be pressure washed.
This looks expensive. But quality work does come at a higher cost.
me who has done this: yep, thats how u do it
Rain water doesn't seep in and accumulate at the bottom, above the Fiber cloth?
The crushed rock layer let's the water flow under the pavers and drains at the soil edges
@@jasondiaz4260 Thank you. So even during a heavy downpour, there won't be any water stagnation? Do you recommend a dedicated drain system for a tropical climate?q
@@rohansivon Walkways should be installed with a minimum cross slope of 2% grade. The minimum 2% incline should help prevent drainage issues. As far as tropical setting with heavy rain, I'd assume the adjacent soil would be fully saturated and you'd need an additional drainage system to help convey the water. This could be with a small channel or a more expensive inlet/ storm drain.
@@jasondiaz4260Appreciate your time and information..🙂
Do they not remove the fabric? 1:01
No, it's meant to stay as a barrier
Interesting video but that aspect ratio is something else.
I need some confidence to do this...anyone willing to help a vet in colorado springs?
My boys all Mexican that's how you know it's been done right. Ive worked demo and it sucks if you don't have a fun crew of the boys
How sand will stay if any flood occurs ... ❓
You ever get anybody that gets mud or dirt in the cracks before you fill?
What about video how to do maintenance?
2:03 buddy watch your toes carefully 😳.
Saw him step in the grade
It's better to use bird eye gravel an no need to pound a stone in
Tamping after sanding
Я так работал 5 лет
We call it a con saw
It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
i thought they used cement... don't they sink ?
doesnt it get washed away by rain?
Its got epoxy resin in it. Once you wet it the resin cures and goes hard.
But also, even if it was just regular sand, its got nowhere to go, the sand should be stuck between the pavers
😲
That looked like that adhesive powder they sweep in the cracks and spray with water to lock into place
They won't want it to lock in place otherwise it won't have any flex and eventually cracked and fall apart.
Well I'm not sure what to tell you but they make the material and ive done it on more than one patio that's still there today and that was over 10 years ago
Yeah, i think its pretty similar to that, though that sort of pot hole filler i think has a different sort of filler material and maybe a harder curing resin.
@@ge2719 sounds correct
The amazing thing with what 50k can do
Oooooop
How does the sand not run off in the rain though?
It's polymeric sand which, as it sounds, has a polymer resin inside it. As it gets damp it hardens and bonds together.
There's a bunch of people saying they washed all theirs out when they clean the patio but that's just regular sand, sharp sand, or kiln dried sand.
@@RylanStorm thank you.
Is polymeric sand plastic?
Exactly what I was thinking.
I guess this might cause a significant amount of micro plastic.
Can anyone clarify what this polymeric sand is exactly?
It varies by brand but the clue is that polymeric comes from polymer.
They contain adhesives or water activated resins which set them like concrete but they're more flexible. They're also waterproof and will stop weeds and insects.
@@RylanStorm thank you. I thought so.
What did we discuss?
Stop.grouting outside where the neighbors can see!
Sounds kinda naughty
Pa nema kaldrma fuge... kontas brate
Nice! Other than the part when ya cut stone with a Diamond saw bare handed bending over with your back.. Health is more important than a Quick buck
Shout out my Mexican bros
All that sand makes my eyes itchy 🥴
Did I get it right: The sand is a kind of sand which binds and gets something like mortar? Is this obligatory? Couldn't everything just lay there without that? What would be the disadvantages?
Loose pavers.
Weeds, insects....
Beautiful, but I bet it's pricey 💰💰💰
But what’s the purpose of the sand?
Stop the stones wobbling, fill the cracks, prevent weeds coming up and insects making a home.
In India they use paver blocks to fill potholes on highways 😂
If it works maybe I’ll drive around Michigan with a truck full they’ll “fall” out strategically 😂
Сначала подумал что это уборка на ла пальме
They could use the recycled sand from glass too probably
I swear stamped concrete will never look as nice as pavers
No but it is a good affordable alternative
So you cant use a pressure washer on it, neat.
Why lay pavers on rocks n not sand to screed
