Laying a Paver Patio |  

Thank you! ✌

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support! ✌

🤣✌🏻

Thank you!

Thank you very much! it certainly does add value, I tell my customers that all the time, it's like putting your money into a savings account because your houses value will typically go up the amount of the cost to install.

Thank you

Thanks ✌

Thanks ✌🏻

Thanks, I’m glad you like the videos. And your project seems very cool, good luck!

@@TheChristianHardscaper What state are you guys at?

Thanks 👍

Thank you ✌

Thanks 👍

I have done quite a few of them... ✌

Thank you!

I can't wait to have one myself... I have the house but still not quite able to start a project like this. Looking forward to it someday as well!

@@TheChristianHardscaper if you got the house thats all you need, you made it. your basically a millionaire if you play it right.

Appreciate it!

Thank you ✌🏻

Thanks ✌

Thanks brother!

Thanks!

I will be there someday... I hope knee replacements keep getting better 🤞🤣

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the feedback! I am very passionate about this work. ✌

Nope, we lay our pavers on clean, crushed stone. It helps prevent sinking and shifting ✌

Thanks, these shorts seem to be doing pretty good... lol ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper its been nice watching ur channel grow since the 50 view days hahah

@@mikez4132 I know... it has been pretty wild man. I can't believe it honestly... Never expected it to do this well this quick. But the consistent support from people like you has been such a blessing. Thanks brother! ✌

Yes sir, Blu 60 pavers and Semma wall block ✌

Thank you, and the pavers would move without securing the edges with concrete. Against a wall or structure, no concrete is necessary but when there is nothing against the pavers, you definitely want to concrete them ✌

This is a different method of base prep that uses only clean crushed stone to allow for better water drainage to help prevent freeze / thaw issues in colder climates. It is called (Open Grade Base). Here is a link to a video I made which explains the method in more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

I lay the pavers randomly while watching out for a few things. I explain it in the full length video of this install. Here is the link to that video if you are interested. 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JJvIb05mmGw.html

Thank you, I use 6-8 inches of 3/4 clear stone and then 1 inch of the 3/8" less clean crushed stone for the bedding material. Here is a link to a video I made which explains my method in more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

I disagree, it is all about doing things properly. The polymeric sand in the joints is key. Plus keeping the pavers clean is very important.

Thank you! It is hard to tell in this short video, but we use 3/4" clean, crushed stone for the base stone and we use 1/4" - 3/8" clean, crushed stone for the bedding material. Here is a link to a video I made which explains the base prep in far more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

yeah, in a couple of years it will be all wonky

@@DarioPicaTips damn! That’s what I was thinking. Seems like a lot of work for something that is not more permanent and durable. The only thing I could find was sometimes they they use edging or poor some concrete at the edge to keep everything around the edge from moving. But that’s crazy to me, a heavy enough load will offset the pavers etc. I mean I suppose if you just walk on it it doesn’t matter idk 🤷‍♂️ seems like slabs of concrete with re bar tiring it together is way more long term and resilient then just placing stones.

3/4" clean, crushed for the base and 1/4"-3/8" clean crushed for the bedding

Thanks ​@@TheChristianHardscaper

They will typically settle down 1/8 - 1/4 inch.

Take them out after we screed and fill in the gaps with a trowel

Thank you ✌🏻 Main pavers are (Techo Bloc) manufactured and they are called (Blu 60) with a color tone of (Shale Grey). The border pavers are (Uni-Lock) manufactured and are called (Treo Premiere) with a color tone of (Charcoal)

We use 1/4" - 3/8" crushed stone on top of the 3/4 instead of sand. Here is video where I explain the method in much more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

The base material we used is 3/4" clean, crushed stone and the bedding material is 3/8" clean, crushed stone. Here is a video I made which explains my base prep method in more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

Nope, it is 3/4" clean, crushed stone.

Yes sir, It is called (Open Grade Base) Here is a link to a video I made which explains the method in much more detail than I can write in a comment 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html Long story short is that sand / stone dust migrates easily causing the pavers to sink and shift too easily... They also hold onto water like a sponge, so in the winter the sand / stone dust freezes and expands, causing the pavers to heave and sink with the freeze / thaw cycles. This clean crushed stone base and bedding material allows water to travel through freely. That prevents migration and stays stable for far longer... It also doesn't hold onto water so it does not heave and shift as much in the winter during freeze / thaw cycles. ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper awesome, I'll check that out

Only on the sides without wall block holing them together. Here is a video on how we concrete the edges 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_X1tCmMJQqk.html

Concrete pavers

Thanks ✌

Hey there, I typically charge $22 - $25 per sq ft for paver installs. walls / pillars are a different thing...

thanks for the quick reply love your work@@TheChristianHardscaper

I appreciate that offer, not sure if I can make that happen right now. ✌

I use a backfill method called open grade base. It is made up of 2 different types of clean crushed stone. The base is 6-8 inches of 3/4” clean crushed stone and the bedding stone is 3/8” clean crushed stone. No fine particles in the stone to allow water to travel through freely. Better for drainage and helps prevent heaving in the winter months. I have multiple videos on my channel explaining why it’s better than sand. Here is a link to one of them The BEST Backfill Method for Concrete Pavers (Open Grade Base) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html✌🏻

@@TheChristianHardscaper I really like that method been watching your videos thank you

No problem, this method is game changing.... ✌

We use 6-8 inches of 3/4" clean, crushed stone for the base and then 1 - 1.5 inches of bedding stone. Here is a video I made which explains the method I use in more detail. 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

✌

That is a tough one.... I don't recommend learning simply by starting a company. You should work for someone for awhile to see what it is all about. I had 10 years of experience before I started my business.

I use a non traditional base prep method called (Open Grade Base). It is all about laying the pavers on clean, crushed stone for water to travel through freely. Here is a link to a video I made which explains it in detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

That is for sure ✌

They are made by (Techo Bloc) and they are called (Blu 60) with a color tone of (Shale Grey)

That method is excellent for any climate or soil type ✌

I didn't use sand. That is 1/4"-3/8" clean, crushed stone for our bedding material

Not yet, but maybe in the future...LOL

I never use sand, I always use this 3/8" clean, crushed stone as the bedding material for my paver projects. Here is a video I made that explains why 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5l7xLCZeyk.html

Bro you’re seriously the best

The water will go to the french drain pipe I installed along the entire front of the house and be diverted to the right side of the house.

They are made by (Techo Bloc) and they are called (Blu 60) with a color tone of shale grey.

We use polymeric sand in the joints

I don't use sand. I use a different backfill method then the traditional Dense grade / sand. I use (Open Grade Base). Here is a video that I made which explains the method in detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

I use a base prep method called (Open Grade Base) It uses clean, crushed stone for the base and bedding material. Here is a video that explains the method in more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

@@TheChristianHardscaper thanks. I'm going to build a patio and researching best practices.

✌

The music goes away if you scroll up or down ✌🏻

This method does not use sand, and it is more expensive then sand... This method is far better then the mickey mouse method of gravel / sand.... I use (open grade base) under all my pavers. 3/4" clean stone for the base and 1/4" - 3/8" clean stone for the bedding layer. Here is a video that explains the method in more detail 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ChaJe3JqD6I.html

I know what you are talking about, but this backfill method I use is specifically for clean stone. It is called (Open Grade Base). It is meant to allow water to travel through it freely. Here is a link to the video of when we backfilled this project 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4zhS7bSvFVA.html
