  • How to make your own concrete pavers like a pro
    DIY Paver Patio Installation
    In this video, you can see how I make DIY pavers for my patio. And how I saved a lot of money by making DIY pavers.
    Just so you know, I'm making DIY pavers for the first time.
    - The first step was to make a wooden mold
    - The second step is measuring and leveling the terrain
    - And the third step is mixing the cement with sand and filling the mold, and then repeat this many times.
    I found that the best mix of cement, concrete, and sand is 3 parts sand to one part cement. Water by feeling.
    You will see how to lay pavers on the ground of the yard.

    And so I make a patio in front of my mobile tiny house build.
    To finish this tiny mobile home I need about two more months. And then we have to find another tiny mobile home project.
    Stay tuned for more tiny home builds!

    Three suggestions, 1. Run the timber through a table saw to taper the edges,this would allow the mould to come out clean, a 5 deg angle would be fine. 2. Run a bead of silicon round the tops of your mould to form a rounded finish on the concrete. 3. Oil the mould before use. Good video, thanks.

      To add onto this comment you could use some rounded metal handles on all 4 sides of the mould to help you lift it out, good video.

    Just a suggestion: Put a couple of handles on the top of it (maybe 4 of them), so it will ve much more easy to lift that wooden frame. Anyway, thanks for the video, it is a very good idea to share.

    Just brilliant! You can custom make a template to your liking and your particular project area. Fantastic! And adding sand to the cement to make it more pliable is even better. Now, you can propably spray vegetable oil to your template to make it easier to remove.

    To make the frame easier to pull free, you could use an enamel/glossy paint on the wood and give it a quick spray with water after each section so nothing sticks.

    You will get better results if you let the concrete setup a bit longer, and use a curb tool on the edges prior to removing the form. Another helpful tip for the DIYer's, rinse the forms and spray the insides with cheap cooking spray, this will allow the form to slide off easier.

    Great idea, one suggestion would be:
    The commercial pavers, has actually 2 layer, one is more rough full of coarse broken pebbles can be calcite or even quartz what give them a lot of strength, but this layer does not look so great, so they have a finish layer that is very thin like just 1/4 inch at most, made if fine sand and maybe stamped with a fake stone texture, you should try to add this second layer made with finer aggregates and different cement, maybe a pre mix stucco would be a good beginning.

    This is an excellent idea. If I were you, I would use at least two or three models of the design to keep the cement dry a little bit before taking the wood out. I would put oil on the sides of the wood for an easy out. I would lay plastic on the ground before cement pouring. Also, I would use some pieces of steel to make it stronger.

    Excelente demostración, mucho trabajo y costoso (mezcladora, ...), viendo otros videos creo para mi caso y poca experiencia utilizare lajas de piedras o adoquines para el piso de la entrada de mi casa. Me será útil la plantilla del video. Gracias por compartir su experiencia.

    Hi, I like what you have done. Having watched a few of the video's like yours. For what it's worth. I would suggest making a frame that is larger than your pattern. Then I would pour the concrete in the frame first and use your pattern as an imprint into the concrete. 2 fold result is that it has more meat on the bottom to hold all the pavers together and the added benefit of less work in finishing it. Just a suggestion. Like your results as well. Thumbs up !

      Best idea for a sidewalk ! My next project. Question....? Can i put white rock on top n press them into the concrete? Just enough to "lock them in"?
