Give you thumbs up immediately when I packed the gravel down with your truck oppose to renting frm home de. Or Loews. Tht was genius. Also get another thumbs up for taking on this project by yourself. SALUTE
What a great job.......I enjoyed watching the process and learned a lot. The only negative comment I have is the music I had to listen to while watching the video :)
Wow, what an incredible amount of work to do entirely by hand, by yourself. Kudos to you my friend. I would have given up or broke down and rented some equipment (or rented some friends)!
Wow! That was a lot of work by yourself. Really enjoyed watching this and I love doing projects like this myself too. Great job and thanks for sharing!
This turned out amazing, hats off to you fine sir for your hard work! I want to do this in my backyard so bad but worried about the leveling part ... I suck at it. Lol also, people: leave the man alone about the music, I thought it was entertaining like watching a video game. You know what would be funny next time? Jumping up & down in parts of the video after completing a step and then later, edit in gold coins 😂👌
Compacting the gravel with your truck…never seen that before. I would have laid down some weed barrier before dumping that gravel. I’m doing a similar project in my backyard, just 3x larger. Great job.
Great video. Did you happen to blow the sand off before wetting? I'm about to give this a shot this weekend and was wondering? The directions I've been seeing show it being blown off. Thanks for the video! A+
Yes, you definitely need to blow off all of the sand on the surface of the pavers. Once the sand gets watered down, it will stick to the pavers and won’t come off
Looks great, I laid one years ago in a similar way but regretted it because I should have bedded the slabs down on concrete. I didn’t do this and after a while they came loose and uneven so I had to take them up and lay they back down on fresh concrete. I also used a vibration plate instead of a truck to compact the substrate!
Great Job! How much do you think is reasonable per sq ft if I have a contractor charge me just for labor. He is suggesting having sand below my 4 inch concrete so that any concrete cracks do not pass on to the pavers!
I like to final outcome of the hard work you put into this patio. You cut those pavers like a pro. Hopefully, it won’t settle to much on you over time especially with the change in weather patterns now.
How was using an angle grinder? I am wondering if its worth it to rent a demo saw that has a water hookup, or if the diamond blade on angle grinder will suffice. Did it cut relatively easy or was it taking some work?
It wasn’t too bad at all. You just need the right size blade otherwise it won’t go all the way through the paver and you’ll have to make 2 cuts on each paver. Also, I don’t recommend taking off the safety guard on the grinder. That can be very dangerous.
Man that music went so hard, while I was switched over to another tab I forgot it wasn't just a music video. So when I heard thumping around in the speakers I thought someone was breaking into my house. Good times. haha
I good general rule of thumb is double the price of material. I spent about $1,800 on material for this patio so a job like this might run you around $3,600
great video! honestly I am doing pavers now and would rather just pay someone. It's not hard, it's just awful to get straight and move all the weight around.
Those are just standard measurements that you should aim for in most scenarios. I had to meet certain elevations like the height of the asphalt driveway so I did not have exactly 6 inches of limestone. I got the height of my limestone base about where I wanted it and left about a half inch of space for dust to fine tune the height and slope of each paver.
Great job. A bit of advice on filmmaking...MUSIC. Make it something that enhances your video. I had to mute these long sections with the arcade music blasting. Otherwise, your video is great!
I loved watching the process of your beautiful patio. this is exactly what I want, off the stairs of the deck. I have a few questions, what did you cut the pavers with,? what kind of saw is that? also, I was always told to put paver edging at the ends I guess to hold the pavers together; and I didn't see you using any or did you? do you not have to use those? I would prefer not to use them but if I have to I will. Also, how many square inches is that patio,?
Thank you! I used an angle grinder with a diamond edged blade attachment to cut through the concrete pavers. I did put black plastic paver edging along the open end of the patio. I guess I just didn’t put that in the video. I would definitely use it to make sure all sides of the patio are secure. The patio is 300 Square Feet
@@RandomAdventures thank you very much for responding. Angle grinder looks very easy to use too. That’s the size o want too. Thank you, you made your project very easy
Hello can you tell me is the dirt underneath the bricks necessary in all areas of US? Like in NV or Arizona the ground is so hard that I don't see these bricks moving so are there different techniques/requirements based on location and type of ground you are working with? I placed pavers on both sides of my dads driveway and he has parked his truck right no it and it hasn't budged. I never put any kind of sand underneath it..
Good question! Base preparation definitely might vary in different regions of the US depending on your soil but at the same time I’m sure you always want a solid / compacted 6” limestone base to be sure your patio never shifts! I would definitely check with local contractors to see what their standard is in your area.
Shouldn’t you used Fabric Weed Barrier first ? I did a small project just like you did and few years later weeds started to pop up everywhere . I did the compacting several times but they still popped up.
There won’t be any weeds coming up through that clay subsoil. If anything, over time seeds may find their way onto the top of the patio from birds and other animals and start growing in the polymeric sand.
A general rule of thumb for labor cost is the cost of materials. I spent about $3,000 on materials for this patio so would charge an additional $3,000 just for labor.
Turned out 10x better than I thought it would be. Especially after using your truck as a compactor.
Give you thumbs up immediately when I packed the gravel down with your truck oppose to renting frm home de. Or Loews. Tht was genius. Also get another thumbs up for taking on this project by yourself. SALUTE
Pup says "Man, I could dig that dirt up - but it's more fun to watch my human do it." Nice job - just subscribed.
Hahahah! Thanks a lot!
What a great job.......I enjoyed watching the process and learned a lot. The only negative comment I have is the music I had to listen to while watching the video :)
I turned off the sound. 😂
No fancy stuff, no bull*%#t, just hard work and great results. Well done
Great work! And done with no heavy equipment (except your truck compactor 🤣). Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Improvised a little and it seemed to work just as well as a plate compactor!😂
Came out great! That hard work paid off!
I'm wanting to do this for my own backyard. You did an awesome job on yours!
Thanks a lot!
Wow, what an incredible amount of work to do entirely by hand, by yourself. Kudos to you my friend. I would have given up or broke down and rented some equipment (or rented some friends)!
Appreciate that! It was definitely a good learning experience and would absolutely get a piece of equipment next time
You are a hard worker…all by yourself! Fabulous job!
Wow! That was a lot of work by yourself. Really enjoyed watching this and I love doing projects like this myself too. Great job and thanks for sharing!
That 4 legged manager made sure everything was done correctly
He sure kept a close eye on me👀
Lol 😂😆😂😆😂😆
My favorite part of the video 🐶 Awesome job on the patio!!
wow, it looks really good. I'll copy you to do this for my backyard. Your dog is so sweet btw!
Excellent and very helpful video. Thanks!
It is very satisfying to see at the end when you are spraying water on the patio.
You guys did a fantastic job. Congratulations, Now I'm motivated to do the same here! Wish me Luck!
Wow, mostly one man job with no machinery. I'm impressed.
Wow! What a great job. I love the new look. That was a lot of work. Fun to watch!
Thank you! Sure was a lot of work, just glad everything turned out nicely!
when I saw you shoveling the limestone in a hyperlapse, I hit like without finishing the video. You put in some work here

That was awesome bro, very pro finish. The dubstep had me getting pumped and now I want to start my patio
Thanks man! Glad it pumped you up😂 hope your patio goes well!
👍🏾🍷Many thanks 4 sharing my Brotha. Awesome job.
That looks great. Awesome job.
Thank you!

Awesome job. Nice video. Pavers looks great. Can you please upload the links for material you used ? Pavers, Limestone and sand….
I was all in on this until I saw you were an Ohio State fan. Ha! Patio looks awesome! Great video!
Hahahaha thanks!
Nice work! Trying to get inspo for our backyard. Can you share how much you spent on materials?
About $1,800 for materials
i would recommend installing down a geotextiles fabric or weed mat on top of the existing dirt so it doesnt migrate into your base gravel
THX FOR GIVING ME A REALITY CHECK which I cannot do it alone D:
Looks great. Only thing I’d recommend. Is that those edge strips will come loose. Cement is always better
Great video. Did you happen to blow the sand off before wetting? I'm about to give this a shot this weekend and was wondering? The directions I've been seeing show it being blown off. Thanks for the video! A+
Yes, you definitely need to blow off all of the sand on the surface of the pavers. Once the sand gets watered down, it will stick to the pavers and won’t come off
Thank you for posting this video. Looks great. Love to see a fire pit added 😀
Wahoo!Thank you for this,I’m putting my husband to work!
Excellent job. Where did you buy the pavers?
My local Hardscape supply yard. Called Draguns Supply
Beautiful job man! Can I ask what material cost for a job that size?
One question I have is what ensures no weeds will grow out of the joints?
Looks great, I laid one years ago in a similar way but regretted it because I should have bedded the slabs down on concrete. I didn’t do this and after a while they came loose and uneven so I had to take them up and lay they back down on fresh concrete. I also used a vibration plate instead of a truck to compact the substrate!
I am trying to do a patio in my back yard l wish l can find sone as good as you to install good job Mister
Thanks a lot! Where are you located?
Nice clean and great job done with your hard work, take care and stay safe
Dang, you are a hard working man.
That patio came out amazing. And cute doggo to boot. 😊
Thank you, Really appreciate it!!
You got grandmas approval. That’s all that matters
Beautiful job!! Thanks for sharing this.👏👏👏👏👏

All the hard work definitely paid off! We hang out on our new patio just about every day!
That gravel spread. Man you’re like a Machine gun

awesome job!!! you are avery hard working man. 👍
Nice job, what type of saw and blade did you use to cut the pavers?
I used a grinder with a segmented diamond blade to cut the pavers
Gram: " You've gotta be kidding me" hahahah nice job bro
Oh my lord
Nice video, and cute pup lol
Looks incredible! What did you charge for this job?
This was a personal job, but something like this could be estimated through a landscaper and depends on lots of variables
nice job, guy. looks great
Man that music went so hard, while I was switched over to another tab I forgot it wasn't just a music video. So when I heard thumping around in the speakers I thought someone was breaking into my house. Good times. haha
I think i like this one not having an edge course or soldier course. Will do the same in my backyard thank u
Where at the pavers from? Love that style.
Techo-Bloc makes them
They are the Blu 60mm
look great 👍 that a lotvof work but its turn out really nice , so what's kind of stone do u use ?
Great job amazing. Perfect person
These are good looking blocks. Where did you buy these?
Great video bro ..can you add the link to patio bricks ..i like use the exact same one.Thanks
These are Techo Bloc - Blu 60mm - Shale Grey!
Looks great 👍
There’s no problem with the code by attaching into the house? I don’t wanna mess it up. I basically have to do the same thing where I’m at.
No issues with the code because a patio is not actually attached to the house!
@@RandomAdventures Very good. I’ll start in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the video!
Very nice job thanks young man!!
Thank you!
Beautiful work!! How much was this job “around “ please? Ty
About $3,000
For material*
Great work ! 👍 How much did the project cost ?
It was around $1500 in material
How much would you charge for the patio well everything?
I good general rule of thumb is double the price of material. I spent about $1,800 on material for this patio so a job like this might run you around $3,600
That looks amazing, job done.
Thanks!
Fantastic job buddy
Thanks man!
SUPERNICE!!!!! WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE YOUR PAVER'S IM IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS,
My local Techo-Bloc dealer. Do a search and see if there are any around you!
@@RandomAdventures thanks
great video! honestly I am doing pavers now and would rather just pay someone. It's not hard, it's just awful to get straight and move all the weight around.
How do you know it’s a half inch of dust or 6 inch of limestone when putting it down?
Those are just standard measurements that you should aim for in most scenarios. I had to meet certain elevations like the height of the asphalt driveway so I did not have exactly 6 inches of limestone.
I got the height of my limestone base about where I wanted it and left about a half inch of space for dust to fine tune the height and slope of each paver.
Before you laid your bricks did you do any screeding? Just one of the techniques that I seen in other videos.
I did not screed. Instead, I leveled each paver as I laid them with a few taps with my mallet.
Bet he slept well that night!
What slope did you use?
Wow! Good job, you're a good example for this young and lazy generation.
Dude awesome job, how much were those style pavers?
Thank you! Pavers were about $500/pallet. 3 pallets all together
Great job. A bit of advice on filmmaking...MUSIC. Make it something that enhances your video. I had to mute these long sections with the arcade music blasting. Otherwise, your video is great!

How many bags of that pavement joint did u need ?
A little over 3 bags
are those nicolock alpine ridge pavers?
No they are Techo - Block
Do you typically need a building permit for soemthing like this?
Yes. In most areas permits are recommended

@@RandomAdventures Thank you 😊
can you post the costs of materials or total build cost?
This guy must like video games because this music was straight out of a video game.
Nice! Let us know how it holds up over time.
So far so good! It’s been been through 2 winter seasons and has held up great so far!
Total cost?
Looks Gr8! wtg !! 👏
What is this pattern called in this video? I love how it looks!
How long did this project take you ?
About 5 full days
Did you slope the water shed away from the house?
Yes!
Shouldn’t you used Fabric Weed Barrier first ? I did a small project just like you did and few years later weeds started to pop up everywhere . I did the compacting several times but they still popped up.

Other than the labor what did it cost you material wise?
About $2,000
That looks so good xude
Thanks man!
Great Job!
nicely done..
What was the total cost of the job?
Nice work
Is this the same way to do for travertine pavers ?
Yes this is how just about all paver patios should be installed
I’m sorry, I’m sure you worked hard but I think the dog was the real star.. 🤣 looks mint mate well done
I agree! Lol Thanks man!
Great work
What’s the LABOR COST on this job?
A general rule of thumb for labor cost is the cost of materials. I spent about $3,000 on materials for this patio so would charge an additional $3,000 just for labor.
