This is exactly what I needed to start my backyard edging project. I had no idea you had to use adhesive between the two rows of pavers. I thought they would be heavy enough to not move but I supposed it's best to have them locked in place. This paver edging looks great!
I am going to have to do my own stone edging for my new grilled flower bed and I know it will be such a big and heavy job especially since I have a 35-40’ long bed to do. This info is so useful! So there is such a thing as a landscape adhesive that keeps the stones actually stuck even through snow and ice and cold? I really have to do this right. Thank you for your instruction.
Yes, but if you use the landscape adhesive on stones that are used as stairs then it will wear away. But on all of mine that are just decorative it’s held up fine over the multiple Minnesota winters so far.
The outcome is striking and the method is simple enough. Question: I know this is not intended as a retaining wall. I'm wondering how much fill......say organic mulch....... could be added behind the wall? Thoughts?
I added 3 inches of rock behind it. The above ground height of the paver is 6 inches. The mulch was just lingering the old set up prior to the paver edging. Thanks for watching.
Nice! But at the 2:15 mark when you were tying the string around the stake how did you know how high to go? I didn’t see you place any bricks to make your mark or to use a measuring tape to make your mark. Thanks.
I did it with math. The blocks are 4inches tall and the first one needs to be half below ground. So in my case it was 6 above ground for my height. The side of my house is super flat so it was pretty constant for the length of the run.
@TDSheridanLab had the soil along that elevation been a tad more "hilly", would you have followed the contures, or just cut straight across at the same depth and ignored the contours?
Simple? yes assuming your yard elevations don’t change much. But it’s a lot of manual work. Each one of those pavers are 10-15 lbs and there is close to 1000 around my house.
Loctite PL 500 landscape block adhesive. I applied it pretty liberally so it was 1 tube every 10-12 bricks. It can take up to a full week to cure so you have some wiggle room for adjustments Link to product:amzn.to/3oH5rcM
Home Depot and here is the link to the product page. Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. www.homedepot.com/p/Oldcastle-Beltis-4-in-x-11-in-x-6-in-Tan-Charcoal-Concrete-Retaining-Wall-Block-16253217/311781599
That’s a good question. Originally I made a raised garden with these pavers and ordered 20 bags of paver base. Home Depot sent me an entire pallet that was 60+ bags. I think I had to purchase ~20 additional bags to do 3 sides of my house. Home Depot has a calculator to help sort it out. Thanks for watching!
I had a little A hole of a neighbor kid that would run up and kick my landscape blocks over so one day when I knew he was gone for the weekend I went ahead and mortared the blocks together like that and he broke his toes pretty shortly after.
The short answer is a lot. When I built a raised garden with the same pavers I ordered 20 - 30 bags of the paver base from Home Depot. Then either it was cheaper to ship an entire pallet then break it down the pallet to just what I ordered or new summer staff was lazy either way I had ~40 extra bags that I could really return. Then with the patio and the edging I think I ordered 20-30 more. And this time they only shipped what was ordered. There is a calculator on the products page to figure it out. I would recommend making the tench slightly wider then your tamper it make life easier. Thanks for watching!
That looks really good. The aesthetic of the rocks and the plant selection. Well done.
Thank you, we continued them around the house. It was a lot of work but it totally transformed the outside of our house.

Thank you, the adhesive is optional but does help thing stay while everything settles. Thanks for watching!
I have the same rubber falling apart. I was thinking of using the same block. You did an awesome job!! Looks epic!!!
Thank you. Link to the blocks are in the description. It’s a lot of repetitive work but totally worth it.
That looks great, especially with the combination with the river rocks.
Thank You! And thanks for watching

@@TDSheridanLab great! it wasn’t noted in the video so I wanted to ask how. Thanks.
@TDSheridanLab had the soil along that elevation been a tad more "hilly", would you have followed the contures, or just cut straight across at the same depth and ignored the contours?
@@BruceWSimsin my research of this, you should not follow the contours, but cut into the hill and keep it all level.
Is it really as simple as it looks? I mean I know it’s hard work.. but is it something I can do with no experience ?
Simple? yes assuming your yard elevations don’t change much. But it’s a lot of manual work. Each one of those pavers are 10-15 lbs and there is close to 1000 around my house.
Nice Job!!!
What Kind Of Pavers Are These? And Where Did You Buy Them?
TFS!!!
😍🙂

Midwest rock guitar backing.
Why not?
What type of caulking did you use to set the second level of pavers?
Loctite PL 500 landscape block adhesive.

@@TDSheridanLab Thanks for your prompt response.
No problem
What kind of brick is that and where did you get them from ?

How many bags of paver base you used for 45 ft?

That’s one way to do it.
what was the purpose of the string line?
Stone height reference
@@TDSheridanLabok because I was like, that is not matching the curve lol
How much sand did you use?
The short answer is a lot. When I built a raised garden with the same pavers I ordered 20 - 30 bags of the paver base from Home Depot.

How to shut off the music here?
Sorry, can’t edit it at this point. Thanks for watching.
That string line setup looks useless in this context.
Yep, you nailed all of my UA-cam video editing growing pains in this video.
… @ 3:00 POUR base material, not POOR
Yep I know…,
Pour not poor😂😂😂
Yep I caught that after it was too late. I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to say something.
