Sam is a professional to the highest degree. I would want him on a job at my place . You can tell he really cares about his job and takes pride in what he does
This is the kind of content I’m talking about! Very informative. As a homeowner I’ve been talking a patio for a while. Started a new section this weekend. As soon as you said never use more than one inch of sand on a pavers product I was like 😳 uhhhh whoops. There’s one section I used like 2 or more. Eek. Lol
You sir, and your crew, are consummate professionals. The pride you take in your work is awesome, you lead by example and it shows you hold not only yourself but your guys accountable. Good stuff.
I see everyone has the same impression. Hands down the best video I've seen on pavers. I have a project to do for pavers I've never done pavers. I'm going to watch yours probably 7 x times to understand the why in and of the how.
Hey Stan, great video. I've been installing pavers professionally for over 13 yrs. We do our installs almost exactly to spec here in Ontario, but we take it one step further by installing heavy poly woven landscape fabric in as big of sheets that fit under our granular A subgrade. Helps with gravel retention and contamination from ground water into your base stone. Also polymeric sand is almost a must to reduce weeds and keep everything locked in tighter and prevents surface moisture from getting into the subgrade. You guys are awesome. I love your videos, keep up the good work.
Love these videos, especially this one. Takes extra time to worry about the camera while working. So great to see a step by step walk through of best practices by pros. Big thanks
Great 👍🏻 video Stan. You guys are always putting in so much work in to the videos, and you can see all the work that went in to your videos. Great 👍🏻 job keep up with all your great work.
When I did hardscaping we used spikes to set grade. We would account for the pavers and the pipe set the pipes on the nails and slide them down. We also made a bracket for our compactor and used an old dump truck mud flap so we didn’t damage pavers. You guys are doing a great job!
Great video. I install paver patio and I think you guys did a great job. It's basically the same way I do it. I think the only difference is leveling the 1 inch pipe, in that, level center pipe the length of the patio. Next, I level the next pipe on one end then level the length wise then check level with center pipe at far end. Yes, I insure my pipes are straight. Next, I lay pavers as I screed sand. I don't like walking on fresh laid pavers until I have the "edge plate holders" are in place. I just wanted to share a possible direction. Again good job.
Galvanized pipe for the one in sand I think might actually be just regular black pipe:-) unless maybe your galvanized pipe discolors in your climate. You guys are great keep up their beautiful excellent work. Thanks for all the lessons
WOW! Unbelievable amount of hand work!!!!!!!!! I was all set to do a DIY, but this truly convinced me that would definitely hire a professional crew to do it correctly. Thanks for the video and I really enjoyed your camera work and running commentary.
Nice work brothers, love it that no corners were cut and you'll took the time to make sure everything was accurate and laid out well. Great work. looks dope.
This video just confirms that if you want it done right, you really need to spend the time measuring everything often and making adjustments constantly. The difference between a pro and amateur. Fine job!
Great video Stan. Hats off to Sam for great footage. The pavers look sensational but I'm not a fan of pavers for driveways or off street parking. I'm talking about snow plowing issues with the pavers....I think you know what I mean:) Thumbs up for the video!
gives me a good starting point for my next 2 paver projects. I put a paver slab in last year but it was just to hold firewood so not too worried if i have to re-do it eventually but the next 2 i need to do it right!
Polymeric sand is nice and all, but you're going to hate yourself when it comes time to replacement it. I recommend using regular sand and adding sand stabilizing sealant, it'll make your life alot easier.
With the sidewalk looking like it’s protruding into the driveway pinging a new line and cutting the sidewalk to get a flush edge could also have been an option. Great vid 👍🏻
Stan, I definitely have some advice I could provide to bring your work to the next level!!! I.e. polymeric sand (as a great example of something you missed. You're going to be pulling weeds from the joints before the end of this summer which can 100% be avoided.
….no…as a GC its best to learn how to communicate the value to the client. Doesnt mean all will choose to work with you, but when you can effectively communicate the value of the work you are doing, then it not only justifies the cost, it also causes the potential client to then compare your scope and quality to all others. Most of the time we still land the contract
I do it quite simular. Instead of rails I use concrete and big slabs for enclosure. And give the whole place a fall away from the house. So I lift that rail close to the house half an inch to make sure, water flows away in 2 directions. Away from the hose and towards the street
Strap some carpet face down to the bottom of the compactor to run over and set the pavers so you don't scuff them and also mix in some dry cement with your dry infill sand to sweep into the cracks. Also I'm a west Aussie so we don't use flagstone. But no sealing required for a drive way?!
Dang. Y’all do amazing work!!! Please come too Ohio and fix my driveway and foundation on my house. Plenty of places too stay, i have a stone quarry in my town, a bobcat dealer for skid steers and other equipment, as well as an equipment rental store. I’ll let you record it and everything.
Other than saving time when laying the block what is the benefit to using sand as the layer you lay your brick on? I have been using crushed t.b. screenings, and doing a combination of wetting and additional compacting to get a nice smooth flat surface that is rock hard.
Actually you are to never have a full 4 90s with the pavers if I remember correctly. Seeing you use Willow Creek and Versa Lok I knew you had to be local. Great products. Nice work! Keep it up!
The level of cars you're guys demonstrate is refreshing to watch not all contractors are created equal

I have been in the excavating business for 18 years and I still learn something from all of your videos!!

Excellent job guys.

Amazing teachings, the method of centering the pavers to figuring the line level was educational. Thanks and God Bless.
I enjoy your selection of music as well as the in depth step by step you present. God bless and go get em.
I appreciate that!

Excellent camera shots. Very creative! Nice work all around, guys!
I like them job well done.
But then camera work angles and placements are cool.
The information was exceptional. The team worked so well together. God bless your future endeavors. Dave
Man everyone needs someone like Blaine! He is a perfectionist.
Not really. A real mason would have squared up the concrete. Just saying

By far the best how-to video I’ve seen on pavers!
Thanks Kade!
There is nothing more satisfying than watching someone run a bobcat that knows what he is doing
Galvanized pipe for the one in sand I think might actually be just regular black pipe:-) unless maybe your galvanized pipe discolors in your climate. You guys are great keep up their beautiful excellent work. Thanks for all the lessons
You got some good men working for you to take the time to film their work, my guys would tell me where to stick my camera and leave us work
WOW! Unbelievable amount of hand work!!!!!!!!! I was all set to do a DIY, but this truly convinced me that would definitely hire a professional crew to do it correctly. Thanks for the video and I really enjoyed your camera work and running commentary.

I was getting aggravated just watching this, I absolutely hate laying patio stones or pavers lol. But it is cool to watch a pro make it look easy
OntarioRedneXXX just finished mine this weekend. It's okay, but not pretty 🤣.
Spending the time in prep pays off in spades as you lay the pavers. Great work.
ua-cam.com/video/pqpGrEASv5k/v-deo.html
you guys are the hardest working crew on UA-cam and perfectionists to boot. Wow I love your videos!

Loved the randomness and reorganizing pavers to keep patterns from forming
Yes you are looking at amateurs

Fair enough! and I do agree about the snowplowing issues.
Great video!

Stan, Your attack dog, (Lol) is so cool at 13:45 just loving on Sam with her sound of, I love you !
shes a big lover
Looks good Stan and Crew. I have had my far share of laying pavers. My brother owns a hardscape company and they lay around 500,000 sq ft a year.
Right on. thats some insane quantity of pavers!
gives me a good starting point for my next 2 paver projects. I put a paver slab in last year but it was just to hold firewood so not too worried if i have to re-do it eventually but the next 2 i need to do it right!
Top notch , no Conner’s cut , wish I had men like this , all the best Stanley+men

I love watching pros work, incredible job!
Seriously Stan, I am impressed. If you ever need a driver with a CDL, let me know. We will relocate.
Great video, really good job with the driveway. It looks fantastic. Hard luck with the pipe leak, hope it's a simple and cheap repair job
Fingers crossed!
loving the full project videos

Very professionally done. Looks great.
Thank you very much!
Loved watching this👍 very informative! Looks good 😎
Thanks so much!
Best video I’ve watched great explanation 👌
Polymeric sand is nice and all, but you're going to hate yourself when it comes time to replacement it. I recommend using regular sand and adding sand stabilizing sealant, it'll make your life alot easier.
Thats what we did. No polymeric sand on this one
nice trying to go into the masonry trade and this gave a good idea of what to expect
Wow great job. All I did when I laid my path was smooth out the gravel already on the ground, lay some landscaping fabric, and put the pavers down. XD
ua-cam.com/video/pqpGrEASv5k/v-deo.html
Lol if it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Beautifully done, gentlemen. Inspiring.
ua-cam.com/video/pqpGrEASv5k/v-deo.html

With the sidewalk looking like it’s protruding into the driveway pinging a new line and cutting the sidewalk to get a flush edge could also have been an option. Great vid 👍🏻
Amazing, some people just don’t see the work that is involved before putting the pavers down.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge , hope to get as good as you.
outstanding! great video and done to perfection. keep up the great work guys! 👍
ua-cam.com/video/pqpGrEASv5k/v-deo.html
Getting those levels correct scares the hell out of me!
Easy with a Hilti elevation level
Stan, I definitely have some advice I could provide to bring your work to the next level!!! I.e. polymeric sand (as a great example of something you missed. You're going to be pulling weeds from the joints before the end of this summer which can 100% be avoided.
Thanks for the tips!
When anyone says to you "that's expensive", you should just say do it yourself. Can't beat class work.
With all due respect
...a good estimator sales person knows better not to say that..and leave the door open..always !
That's what I did lol 😆 😂, 4k na I'm good

Great video...thank you. Now to transfer that knowledge to my walkway and driveway. Yikes 😮
One word... Subscribed!!!!
Going to order the dewalt cut off saw for my crew I’ve got to try it. Never have had an electric cut off saw but seems like it’s sams go to 🙋
Right on. we all like it
cheers for your videos, they are very helpfull
Strap some carpet face down to the bottom of the compactor to run over and set the pavers so you don't scuff them and also mix in some dry cement with your dry infill sand to sweep into the cracks. Also I'm a west Aussie so we don't use flagstone. But no sealing required for a drive way?!
For light coloured pavers white cement is expensive but lime works just aswell
They sell a rubber mat that attach to the bottom of the tamper won't scratch pavers
Put pavers on concrete, then collect check and on to the next.
Great video, love the ottertail Zorbaz shirt too cheers!

Best pavers video
Nice dust control
appreciate putting the camera on the tool, lol. Good watching experience.
Just another beautiful job
Stan, buddy, armor one of your skid steers so you can defend the house. I hope your armed buddy. Best of luck to you, your family and your guys.
Good work boys 🤙🏽
Excellent video.
Gorgeous job
Actually you are to never have a full 4 90s with the pavers if I remember correctly. Seeing you use Willow Creek and Versa Lok I knew you had to be local. Great products. Nice work! Keep it up!
Should never have 4 corners like a street intersection
Nice effort.👍
