PAVER INSTALLATION (Part 6) Mike Haduck sidewalk 

Great work Mike. I'm a new yorker now living in Minnesota , my house has pavers popping and sinking all over the place. The way to do it back in NY is the way you're doing it. Every cement guy I have out here giving me estimates thinks I'm crazy when I suggest the concrete pad under. These are all highly rated guys on Angie's list. It's almost like they want these issues so they can get lots of repair work.

Liking this Episode again, as I do many many others. Thank you

I agree bro!! Although it takes a little longer time but if you tell the customer listen this will be forever. Thumbs up brother

You sir are a craftsman

I love the process your're using "rock and the concrete pad". Living in Iowa we have some of the same issues with ice and the frost level depth and the lifting of the walkway or patio. I'm planning a large DIY patio here at the house with stone.

nice Job Mike . I always learn something from watching your vids and apply it to my own jobs here in Carbon County !

I sure like how ye dry fit it and mark for cuts. Very clever. Thank ye for all ye videos.

Been watching your videos for a while now. Thank you for the tips and the time spent recording. Umesh G Kg Lawn & Landscape

Damn nice job my friend, and for a diy'er there you go doesn't get any better than this.

That looks beautiful nice job Mike

Geat work mike and a proper job well dun👍 you are definitely old school mike 👍

OMG, Mike. The flyin' bugs in HD were terrifying!! I was a-swattin' at the screen! ;o)) The rebar tie-in to the existing slab is generally required here in California because of ground movement from earthquakes. Nice job, by the way.

Miike it's Don , I did the steps I told you I was going to do and they turned out grate ! that Rapidset is good stuff a day later I painted the curb and the steps with portland and looks good. I told the old Girl 74 I was" hiding my Sins" I think she lost some water laughing at that Thanks again Mike ! Again nice job on the walk.

The HD Quality looks Great Mike. Your pave work is the Best!

Didn't look like you got very much mortar under that first paver you showed. It will come loose after it's hit a few times. Hopefully you went back and redone it and made sure they all had enough. It looks good though.

Another lovely job. It's like I'm rhere with ya..👍👍

Is it ok to put paper stone directly on top of concrete patio. If so, I will level out existing patio and put stones on top of it. Cheers

Hi Mike. I really like your videos! It's like a history lesson and a skills lesson in every one! I appreciate all of your input in the comments below, and I wonder if you could talk about the busted corner piece of concrete at 3:35 in this video? How'd it happen, what concerns you have with it, and if/how you fixed it? Thanks!

That's an interesting way of installing pavers.

Hey Mike great video. I live in Northern NJ and we have the same frost and ice issues. I have never seen any contractor install pavers over a cement base, they all used stone dust followed by a layer of sand. Is there a reason for this?

Beautiful work there Mike👍🏼

Why the pavers on cement slab not over compacted gravel and leveling sand what method is better and is it the same cost Thank you 😊

Very very nice work Mike all the best for the new year

All the over videos show them compacting the pavers with a huge machine. Is that not necessary?

whole thing looks great

How long do you wait for the concrete to dry before laying pavers on top?

NIce vids Mike- question- I must have missed it but WHEN did u cement or glue in the bigger middle stones? OR, did you just simply lay them inside the mortars outter bricks and then just sanded them in?

Nice.

Great video you do really nice work. Does the sand you use have a bonding agent since the middle wasn't mortared. Can you give me idea on how much these pavers go for. Thanks

Looks really nice Mike!

Hi, looks great and I also like your way of doing the walkway . Question: did you put wet concrete under larger slabs also.?

Nicely done!

Hi Mike, Thanks for the videos! i live on Long island, NY. I removed a solid cement sidewalk and want add a paver walkway. There were no cracks in the old sidewalk and no gravel under it. Do I still need to put gravel under a 2 inch cement base for the pavers? Also, if I do not get the cement base level and the pavers rock a little, will the polymeric sand hold them in place or do I have to level the base of the paver with something? thanks, J

any advice for the mix to use for building structural walls with natural stone? its the cheapest building material i can find here and its pretty plentiful lol. great vids all and all i must have watched all of them now! thanks!!!

So you only mortared the edges and not in the middle?

I've been watching your videos now for a while, unfortunately I didn't start in order. I have a question I saw your video on pavers especially when you went to China and Scandinavia. You seem to be impressed with the fact that they didn't use concrete. Why did you use concrete here and not just gravel the way they do in China in Scandinavia?

Beautiful!

Hi Mike good job as always got question for you in your joints of your stone have you got green Grass coming up or not?

Mike, Can this be done on blacktop/asphalt? Can mortar be used on blacktop?

How did you prevent the gap in the start if you knnow what i mean?

Does the Silica standard not exist in Pennsylvania?

LIKE IT...THANKS!

You put sand between bricks to finish off. My question is would you still use just sand if it was a slope?

What kind of pavers are those?

Can I do the same in a brick patio? Thanks. I’m from Cusco Peru but I live in Pa

This is an excellent video ... Thank You!

How much did that job cost

what type of sand did you use for the pavers

Beautiful

Hi :) Would this work on a sloped/hill walkway? Thank you!

Hey Mike, love the full screen. New camera?

03:38 wow...concrete already broke at the corner....weed wil grow up through it...

I never see somebody do that like that before that's a whole lot faster build a concrete pad first

Put a mask on mike

How deep did you pour the Concrete ? I am her in YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, Thanks Mike

how thick is that concrete pad?
