Just found your channel today in June 2024!! Soooo many great pointers and straight to the point! I want to do this in the side of our driveway (about 25ft alongside) to make a walkway for my husband’s side of the driveway. I have a wide truck and he ends up parking right against the grass. I had NO IDEA about digging down deep enough (at the beginning) until you hit solid ground! So many videos I watched, such a waste of time and talking! I couldn’t hit subscribe button fast enough! Cheers from Virginia Beach, friends!

Gosh, I'm SOOOO glad KZbin had this waiting for me this AM. I'm starting my paver project with an outdoor wooden shower enclosure I built, and this is BY FAR the best video I've watch thus far on the topic...I really appreciate your thorough step by step guidance. "Saved" in my web browser favorites.

[@con_ed7960]

Two questions for you: 1) what type of gravel/stone you used to border the paver walkway, that covered the paver edging? 2) the sand that you swept into the cracks of the pavers, what was the type and did you then mist with water to have the sand bond? THANK YOU!

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]

Thank you very much.

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]

The gravel I used to border was the same as the padding material underneath. It's an angular crusher run stone. Very small in size. Anything small in size but still angular in shape will work great.. I then covered over with topsoil to border the pavers, it will make for a great lawn to cover the edging. The sand I used was just plain beach sand. You could buy the Polly sand if you want, it is the sand that bonds after a little water is sprayed on it. I chose not to use it because either sand will need replacing after 4 or 5 years due to wear and weather. It's so much easier to use regular Beach Sand. Quick fix and your good for another 4 to 5 years. The Polly sand requires to be picked out of all the cracks to replace and makes for alot more work. It sticks like a silicon. It is a great binding product though. If you due choose to use Polly sand make sure the pavers are completely clear of all Polly sand before spraying or it will stain the tops of your pavers. Thanks for watching..

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]
