Me watching the video. Brain: Okay cool that's easy. Hands: Shut up!
It's easy but intensive ehh
🤣🤣
Lol. I was just gonna comment with “complicated.” ✌🏽
🍃😂🍃
More like my back lol
😂I’m with you on that.
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this with no experience without a problem
I think Lowe's tutorials are generally better than HD's.
Pro Tip # 69. When burying landscape low voltage lighting wire, be sure to use conduit under any walkway so if it ever needs replacing, you can easily run a second run of wire. You'll thank me later.
I want to thank you now! Awesome suggestion.
Damn, you can do a paver walkway in just 4.5 minutes. Amazing. Can't wait.
This video made me realize I really enjoy landscaping and just building things in general! Thanks, Lowes, my partner sure enjoys watching me build a gazebo and her not helping but sure waiting to be able to have her friends over from brunch in it XD
Have you ever done anything with the passion?
I did this today and my everything hurts!
Just FYI, don't get the paver base sand from Lowes, it's very lumpy (chunks of clay and wood) and the reviews are bad, you'd be better off with regular sand or paver sand base from somewhere else. Get more polymeric sand than what you think you need (and be sure after you pour it you tap all the paver blocks because it will suck down the polymeric sand a bit) then pour some more. The paver panels are expensive and you'll need more than what you think but I do like them and they seem to make things easier.
Cutting blocks was easy with grinder with concrete cutting disk.
Once you pour the polymeric sand and start sweeping it in the cracks you will see it take shape and feel a huge since of accomplishment and relief as the end is near!
Our project was the paver blocks shown at very start of video and cost around $600 and included walkway (about 20-25 feet) and small landing pad by side door.
How is your walk way hold up so far with those paver panels? Thanks
I really appreciate the details
They don't even put a price on those paver panels here. I found out why.
Yes
Thanks so much for this video. Gave me the confidence and helped me complete my first paver walkway job at my house.
Lowe's, please send this guy to my house. He makes it look super easy!
Mine too!
Then after Samad and Kristen mine. I'd be sooooo happy.
Oops sorry Kristin
Exactly
Looks easy. I'll buy a house tomorrow and try it out.
hi, someone might need your assistance & advice?
sure, whats up

Hey Clorox. This is an intervention. You need to stop commenting so much on youtube.
Everywhere i go i see clorox bleach
Really. Can 2 accounts have the same name? I guess im getting old. I dont know how or why tyere would be thousands of them? Whats it all about?
My brain: It's sooooo easy!
My eyes: Piece of cake! Let's make it!
My hands: Shut up.
Well done. Looks great.
very detailed, I really like the explanation in this video. I can follow it as soon as possible.
Thanks to you I have a beautiful walkway now
I was so motivated, I went and mowed my lawn.
Wow im impressed it came out perfect i want that pave walk on my front yard
There is also something called carpet stone which is man-made cobblestone wired together on the back. Probably easier to install and can be stained with concrete stain. Lowes sells these too.
I did this during my lunch break. Came out great!
Outstanding video...thank you all so much!! I'm going to start planning this now....
Kayinfso Here Debra timms 7am 3rd
it would be helpful to see how you laid the chalk line for the first curved line.
loved the finish look!
Would be nice to have a part list of exactly what was used for this video...js
When I watch these videos, I think about old cobblestone roads that are still in place and those long stone walls you see around farm land that were just dry stacked. They're still there. Maybe we make things more difficult.
The planks on which I lay the stepping stones are called. It's a good job

dear lowes, for gods sake, add the link to the building materials on your website to the video. I should be able to be like boom sand, boom bricks, boom tamper, order, done!
Its weird that they didnt think of that by now. Thats like the whole point of them making these is for us to get inspired of buy stuff lol
just go to lowe’s and it’s there, obviously they’re going to use their own products
I don't mean to be rude but it shouldn't be that difficult to look up pavers, sand, tamper, etc on their web site. If you can't figure it out on their web site, you probably need significant help to plan and execute this project. If you are ordering it for delivery, expect to pay a significant delivery fee cus that stuff is going to be heavy. As has been said, go to the store and they'll help you find what you need.
I was about to comment on that.
Why would they? Product selection and skus change all the time plus this will not only be viewed by Americans. The video has been, will be and is being viewed in other countries other than your home. A link to Lowe’s makes sense but not to products, it’s retail!
The electric wire should have been put in a wider plastic pipe so it can easyly pulled and replaced without damaging the surface.
nic the paver on both ends
tony borg i wantiinfia soig
Yes Tony, and more people need to think like you. Prepare for the future when building.
Really good point!
More of these pleaseThank You!!!
Makes it look very easy! And low stress.

how to grow ice plant from seeds
If you have a poverty mindset you will always be broke.
+Will Trade : Interesting perspective.
Ammar Badri
they have a concrete form you can use with coloring that's my suggestion
use recycled materials and freebies
I recommend you install a 2 inch PVC pipe across the sidewalk area in case you want to add low voltage lighting at a later date. Maybe even 3 inch PVC across a driveway.
If someone forgot to do this then one can always drive a pipe through afterwards i think. Dig 2 holes, each on each side of the walkway, connect water supply to the pipe, and push it through. But is better and easier before making the path indeed.
It's simple and beautiful. ❤️🙏
LOL! 🤣 It's not easy nor simple! 😏 99% of people can't do it.
Amazing idea
Nice I would have this in my front yard and backyard with tiki lamps going to the dock or lights
I would say it’s better to have small joints, or fill the joints with cement like a tiling job. If you have wide sand joints then airborne seeds that land in the groove will grow in it.
Poly sand lets water inside while keeping seeds from growing, that’s why poly sand I used.
Shared your video on Landscape Architecture TV. Thanks.
So satisfying to watch
This makes me think I can do it!
Very nice ...😍😍
Looks easy. I just bought a boat and I'll try this out tomorrow.
heading to home depot right now
haha same
that was the joke
juan juan 😂😂😂😂
lmao this is a Lowe's video
Home Depot really is better tho.
Anybody out there have a garden hose that lays out flat and orderly like this one on the video? 😂😂
in all seriousness if you want a good hose 100 ft hose thats easy to manage get a zero-g and a hose roller at lowes or wherever, it makes dealing with a water hose much easier and when you get done just try to drop it as straight as possible to the roller cause when you cut it off it will go back to laying flat and make rolling it back up ten times easier as well.
Very nice!
Just wonder if these interlocking panels can keep the paver nice as long as 6 inch gravels?
Before you install the whole thing how far did you dig before u add the weed barier?
Cool i'll go to my local park and try it out.
Any time I try out a landscape project, I just go to a park and wear an orange vest, put down a couple cones, and I can do whatever I want.
So for the pro's and experienced installers, do you guys recommend these interlocking panels instead of the 6" gravel paver base?
The gravel is much cheaper if you can haul it yourself from the rock quarry on a pickup or trailer. The biggest difference would be having to dig a little deeper.
@@jtltet so for the average diy person if you dont have any experience in digging flat trenches and dealing with the grading of the yard, then yes its worth the extra money to get them because once you put them down if you want to check with a level again if there is anything wrong or just slightly off then it makes fixing this much easier than when you have a 6" trench in your yard and 4" of gravel to move around and fix, you can just lift the panels back up instead and re-level the base much easier, plus if lets say you live in an area with earthquakes or for whatever reason it needs to be taken up or replaced part or whole, it is much easier to repair, because there is not as much material to have to manage
@@awar-bb5ru It's not hard to get the area level. Even if you use these panels your area still has to be level. You can't just lay them over uneven ground. And you would still want to dig out the sod and some dirt regardless of which method you use so that your pavers aren't standing so high above the yard that is next to it to make it so you can mow across it without worrying about hitting the pavers with the mower blade. After you dig down around 6" and add in your gravel, then you add the sand on top of it and it is fairly simple to level it. Plus if one paver ever did become slightly raised due to frost heave or something else, you simple lift up that one paver and level under it again. Simple!!
@@jtltet Cooper's Corner yeah sorry man I didn't mean to comment it at you like I was trying to correct you or anything, I was trying to say like it's much easier to repair/redo/work eith or change the panels then it is to work without them and making even trenches or tenches/an area that slope at a proper gradient to allow for water to drain properly when you don't have to dig a 6-8inch trench vs what you have to with the panels, the panels are less back work and less cumbersome then digging out an area and then having to level a large amount of gravel compared to these panels when laying down pavers, I was agreeing with you, and as far as simple goes, I mean it's simple to those of us that know how to do it properly and everything that needs to be taken into consideration when doing any heavy landscaping, but those out there that don't have the knowledge of it because they never worked with it before and are just now trying to get into it for let's say there own house it can be kinda frustrating with all the different products and not understanding how to properly use some tools or not understanding the name of somethings that we have shortened to encompass multiple different products that all work the same, so I feel like the panels are probably going to be the way to go for someone to do it on there own that way if they do mess it up and have to get a professional to come fix it then it wouldn't cost as much to get them to do that vs the other, may cost more upfront but the time and effort that you save is probably worth it to someone that doesn't do it for a living
Anybody know what is the exact name or item number for this paver stones
impressive strategy
Great job
Nice job !
What if I dont have a solid edge like a patio? Can i just place edging first where I start and on the sides?
Great video. I'm curious why you leave a quarter inch space between bricks? I'm new tto interlock and just am curious
I wouldn't leave a gap other than what the blocks naturally create. That's just asking for trouble.
Great Job 😁
Thanks
what is the color of this house? love the green
thnx for this video!
So what is the name of the block you are usong there so i can find it in store?
Thank you.
Amazing
ok. sounds simple. on my way to do this.
Love it
I got this . Here, hold my beer .
lol lol 😂😂😂
Cheers! 🍻
Too cute!
And do not use regular concrete blocks.. with the heat they Crack
I do all this and more and I did a simple pit for my uruguayan asados/barbecue and the blocks are cracked in many parts..
What do yo need is refractory bricks. That is for heat!
Cool
Beatifull
nice paver walk on video
What's the use of the plastic panel versus just laying the stone tiles on top of the substrate sand (like we always do before)?
🎉.’ Ex se
Can I use this technique for a walkway to do a patio or driveway?
MARCIO sborgi we have a separate video for installing a paver patio: ua-cam.com/video/M0gMHsFRHxs/v-deo.html. The paver base used in this video isn't suited for use in a driveway; that project requires different prep and installation for vehicle traffic.
Not for cold weather areas .it could lift with frost right?
i imagine its ok if it lifts, the interlocking panels will allow it all to lift more or less uniformly then settle again as temps warm up.
Look easy. Need to start saving$$
Don't buy the 2x4 at Lowe's or you'll end up with 3/4" of sand on the edges and 1/8" in the middle.
lol this is one of the funnier comments ive seen in a while because its 100% the truth lol
They are good to lay out a curved sidewalk!
@@terrythomas790 he's commenting on how bowed their wood is
@@fernando651 ummmm, Why do you think I mentioned what I did?
NICE
Nice results, but when there is a heavy rain the sand between the rocks vanishes, no ?
does it suitable for walkway only? should it be okay for cars park?
Vu Nguyen No it won't. The concrete bricks need to be atleast 7-10cm thick and on the edges you should use concrete to stop the bricks from moving
I want to make a old fashion Garden and this is perfect for it and I'm make the path going to a fire pit that is also I'm going to watch next

Me too. I'm looking to make a pathway out to my fire pit.
I want to make a really small side walk looks easy I want to try that what if I dont have a saw. Do I have to use one?
TeresaS: I know it's kinda late, but you can rent a brick saw or get a grinder with a diamond blade (you'd need a mask for the grinder, silica is bad for your lungs). Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves. Be careful with blades, either kind I suggested can seriously hurt you, but it's what will work. Stay safe.
You can take the claws of a straight hammer or a brick chisel and score a line across the brick or paver then hit it with the hammer and it will break along the line you scored ,you can cut bricks ,cinderblocks, and pavers by doing this
You won't need to cut any pavers as long as you make your walkway a width and length that works out with the pavers. Unless you have curves involved.
so pretty
It os a good design
Would this work for a patio?
Yes, it's the same process.
i like the lowe's videos, but I think they over buy stuff to do something simple. what do you do with pvc pipes once you done?
Whatever you want, it costs like literally $20 or less for the PVC... Considering an installation like this is typically in the couple thousand range $20 is pretty negligible.
Return them to Lowes. ;-)
muy hermoso. muy creativo
Anyone know where to purchase the base paver panels in Canada? Can't find them.
You're better off that way.
nice
Ok, I watched the professionals install a paver at my neighbor's house, and I watched this video, so I'm READY TO GO.
But - say I put the plastic edging in with the nails, but I need grass to be there ... how would I do that? In this video, they have like 2 feet of mulch on each side (and a house to die for). I'm just trying to put out a 9x5 paver patio for my trash cans!!!! 🤔
We did what you are thinking of (you want your grass to grow right up against the walkway), what we did was cut the plastic/sheet close to the edging of the rubber/plastic edging he nailed down (what helps prevent the stones from shifting), but we used the metal type trim, only because with time the plastic will deteriorate, dry, crack and brake, then your stones will start to shift and grass or weeds will start to make their way into the stones, our reason was mostly for edging purpose, we needed something that would be able to take a beating when mowing and weed eating. With time the grass will catch up to the edge of your walkway it will look seamless. Good luck and stay hydrated.
@@SuchaCaligrrl Thank you!
Can I do this on a drive way or not strong enough?
Yes
If you put pavers on your driveway I would defintely do the 6" gravel base and not what they show in this video under the pavers.
Muy fácil.
What style and color pavers were used in this installation? Are they sold at Lowe’s? Thanks
No, they got them from Home Depot.
If my base sand is wet is that okay?
Can you use those panels on driveway?
Too expensive. Not worth it. Cheaper to pave your driveway with gold.
Where can I Download that Paver Walkway?
Carlos Cruz ytvjkghfugdnjkvygghycfhhgnhjfhhh
How durable is this vs the old rock/dust base way of doing it? Has anyone tried this before?
if only i had a big yard
Where do I get those interlocking base panels? Not on any Lowes website i can find.
Mike Royer here's the paver base panels: low.es/2tZHTRR (item #345420). Thanks for watching.
Where are these available in Canada or are they not suitable for northern climates...slowly becoming tropical....
I actually do this for a living for a very successful landscape construction company in MA, you do not need these panels at all, have never used them ever once. they are just trying to sell one more instrument. once compacted, edging is added, and poly sand is applied correctly, they will not shift.
Which company? I'd love to have this done! But am super lazy also
Does Lowe's install? For people that are not able to do this?
I think they don't have installers..
Only for tile, carpet and vinyl.
I was one of the tile and vinyl plank installer.
Now we do that, paver, tile, stone, decks, epoxy and more
Check porch.com
Yes, they install it you need it done but obviously it will cost more.
What do you use to measure how far your digging down?
A tape measure.

What is he name of this stone? Running bond pattern right?
The stones used are a concrete patio stone with a running bond pattern. They come in various sizes on lowes.com www.lowes.com/pl/Stones-pavers-Pavers-retaining-walls-Lawn-garden/4294612592
