@@yunglos12 i dug a 4 inch hole and did a 1 inch layer of gravel and an inch of sand before laying the pavers down. i ended up removing some of the sand as i was leveling the pavers, but starting with that base helped me make sure everything lined up nice. lemme know if you have any other q’s :)
@@brewcitybuilds Your personality is very approachable and amusing. You make projects without a high budget look bespoke. Most UA-cam interior design channels are fairly similar, yours is personal and unique. I hope you never stop making videos. You are doing something unique and special.
This is a great idea. I already have a concrete patio off the back of the house but adding a fire pit area more in the center seems cool. May tackle a similar project this summer
@@alexdvid1968 thanks alex! it won’t let me link it in the comments, but if you look in the description box, there’s a direct link to it there. my only advice would be to bring it inside during the winter, or the paint will start to chip from the moisture. i leaned the hard way.
seriously… my lower back was feeling it by the end of this one. i probably should’ve measured it out beforehand, tbh, but since i was using 12x12 pavers, i figured i could do a rough estimate and kinda winged it since i knew i was adding the pea gravel between them. it did take a bit of math when it was time to lay the pavers to make sure the spacing was even, but luckily it worked out. i learned a few things for when i start work on the walkway back there.
Hey hey! Now that it’s been a few months, do you feel like you put enough gravel and sand? I saw videos of people putting 4 inches of gravel. 🫠 I feel like that’s soooo much more money. I’d prefer to just do 1.5 inches of gravel and 1.5 of sand with the 1 inch paver if I can get away with it
we had a lot of rain this spring and it was literally flooded over the patio a few times , so i was nervous it was going to mess everything up, but it’s still totally level. i think you can get away with 2 inches of gravel and sand. are you in a dryer climate? then it would be totally fine.

thanks for taking the time to watch my video! if you have any questions about anything, lemme know :)
How deep a base did you use? 1 inch gravel + 1 inch mason sand?

This is so modern and elegant, and you make it look so easy. Also, I *LOVE* the 1960's style mod fire pit. I can't wait to see what you do next!
you always have the nicest things to say 😊 appreciate you watching and leaving nice comments.
@@brewcitybuilds Your channel is one of my top 5 favorites. I get so excited when I see you have a new video.
the concept of that is wild to me, but i’ll take it :)

Good job Marcel. Recycling sod is a bitch. I don’t think there is anything harder on the back.
We love Wally.
thanks mark! you’re right about the sod. it was intense. and ditto on wally :)
Hi, great video, very informative. Could I ask what make your fire pit is? We really like it.! 😊

Waaaaaaayyy Better :)

Wow! What a beautiful patio! My back hurts just from watching this 😂. Did you plan the dimensions after you knew what size paver you were using?

@@brewcitybuilds you’re so talented! I would have given up once I hit the sod lol.
haha. i dunno if it’s talent, or just delusional optimism. either way i’ll take the compliment :)
