    People often think laying the bricks is the though job, but really it is the base. Once you got that level its smooth sailing from there

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  5 років тому +5

      Yeah for real. Laying the bricks is seriously the easy part. Like the cherry on the top

    • @jessedukelacrosse6470
      @jessedukelacrosse6470 4 роки тому

      Have you ever laid brick on med wet concrete mix , or how about brick paver with mortar bed and not sand ? It's not difficult but It's not easy like you claim ;)

    Paving is not an easy DIY project but what I see is a job well done. Great work Connor.

  • @tlijklema
    @tlijklema 5 років тому +2

    Don't you need to compact it any further? Or is it all polymeric sand as a base. Like the idea with the tubes, need to remember that 👌

    • @lawnrebel
      @lawnrebel  5 років тому

      The compaction comes later with a compactor after the bricks are down. The poly sand goes in at the very end

    • @tlijklema
      @tlijklema 5 років тому

      Yeah, I now remember you did compact the layer underneath the top layer of sand. (Your son even did it if I'm not mistaking 😅)
      Anyhow, awesome job man looks great 👍 I also enjoy own work over letting some contractor do it.

  • @graceortiz9494
    @graceortiz9494 5 років тому +1
