DIY Pavers Installation Timelapse (Digging out sloped yard!)

We are planning to install an inflatable hot tub in our yard, but the ground is very sloped. So we dug it up and installed stone pavers!

[@TheRamys]

lol thank you! Our productivity was 100% better due to her supervision XD

Good job guys!!

[@TheRamys]

It was tough but we did it!

[@Elsanta666]

Much respect to you ladies, im a new home owner and damn is tiring work ....

[@TheRamys]

Thank you for the kind words! It was definitely not an easy project but very fulfilling

[@deadlynightshade9615]

good job! it looks amazing

[@TheRamys]

Thanks!

[@Lktravel1]

Great job! Learnt how to neatly take grass out

[@TheRamys]

Thank you! Glad it helped :)

[@cre8tivity06]

What tool was used to remove the grass?

[@MsAshstew84]

This is beautiful where did you purchase the pavers and how many did you get

[@mottsapplesauce3844]

I can relate to the dog randomly standing in the way

[@TheRamys]

lol they have to insert themselves, and almost always right in front of you :)

[@entrepriserds]

🔥 🔥 👏

[@janjaf844]

How is it holding up? How thick was limestone you added? Also did you add any morter or concrete undder.. goes so fast couldn't really see if you added any on limestone before putting on the pavers and tapping.

[@TheRamys]

Hey yes around 1:03 is when we added the screening. You can also slow down the video in the settings. The limestone was probably less than an inch or so. It’s holding up great and it’s been a few years :)

[@dswift5074]

Does water flow towards the patio still since you didn’t regrade the whole yard? I’m building one now and have estimated mine is going to be similar where the yard is higher at the end of it and will likely have to do what you did.

[@TheRamys]

Since it’s the lawn all around it, the water flow isn’t an issue

[@timevans1507]

Great project! What is the mesh material that you used between the screenings and the slabs? Thanks

[@TheRamys]

It was a fun and challenging project! I believe it is called landscaping fabric

[@Beautyroom300]

My yard is sloped like that. Did you dig more on one side than the other to event it out. If so would I dig more at the top of the slope or bottom. This is so amazing, I start today, but still slanted.

[@TheRamys]

Thanks! Yes, dig more on the side that has the higher ground so essentially you are leveling it.

[@asch2366]

Hello, really great work, I just want to know what is the plastic at the bottom and why did you close the pores from the top?

[@TheRamys]

Hey! the plastic sheet is landscaping fabric, to help prevent weeds from growing out. The jointing sands is to help close up the gaps and secure the slabs more

[@danielpritchard1465]

Looks like you got more help when the hard work was done, usually how it goes

[@TheRamys]

Lol great you caught that!! The earlier part we had a great project manager (our dog) lol

[@ZodacTarot]

Do you have an estimate of costs for the start to finish of the patio? Very inspiring exactly what I need and was looking for!!

[@TheRamys]

Hey! Thanks for watching :) depending on where you live, I don’t remember the exact but roughly the materials were about $300-400

[@danielmurzellotheunknownma7481]

Hello there 😊.. Amazing and very interesting project. Super like 👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing Do keep posting new 🆕 ideas 💡 Warm regards and best wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎🧑‍🏭

[@RigoMariscal-wc1zz]

So does the water accumulate on the pavers now since you dug it below the slope?

[@TheRamys]

No, we made sure to have a slight grade so that the water will slide off the pavers, make sure to do that

[@levih7326]

How do you make the grade while keeping the pavers even?

[@TheRamys]

We used limestone screening which kept it very even

[@kkoprucki]

where did you get those tile from? like what’s the brand name too?? TY!!

[@TheRamys]

Not sure about the brand but we got them from Home Depot

[@rionafterdark]

Hey ya'll, Rion Morgan here in Vegas. Awesome Video! Can you please tell me if those are temporary? Did you lay them with concrete? It did not look wet? The wife and I are renting so I have some nice fleckstone I want to lay giving her a nice BARBQ area. Needs to be temporary maybe sand in between or something?

[@TheRamys]

Hey! These are permanent for us but you easily disassemble. It’s stone slabs, no need to have concrete. At the end we used jointing sands to fill the cracks, which bonds when it’s wet. The bond is not super hard to “demolish” though we do not plan on that :)

[@janjaf844]

Curious what you did inbetween if you didn't want to make it permanent

[@cwestmont]

How many hours did this take, start to finish?

[@TheRamys]

It was done over the 2 days during a weekend, maybe 20 hours if I had to guess the total time

[@lawrencegomes1988]

What was the thing that you pored over the black plastic sheets?

[@Beautyroom300]

leveling sand

[@TheRamys]

Limestone screening

[@vinushad7795]

Hi where did you find the pavers like this

[@TheRamys]

Home Depot :)

[@cristaltri]

Two different kind of sand ?

[@TheRamys]

Limestone screening underneath then jointing sand

[@jermpoz2971]

is this in australia?

[@chona4647]

Thats one iam thinking mate?

[@TheRamys]

Hey! Not Australia, but in Canada :)

[@Doodahdoodles]

How long did this take from start to finish?

[@TheRamys]

About two and half days

[@Doodahdoodles]

@@TheRamys nice good job. Has it lasted well?

[@TheRamys]

@@Doodahdoodles thank you! It’s held up really well! Still in the same shape and no shifting, and this is with several thousand pounds of water in the hot tub over it for last 2-3 seasons!

[@jermpoz2971]

HOW MANY SAND BAGS YOU USE?

[@TheRamys]

Hey we used about 6-7 bags of stone screening. I forget how many polymeric sands we used, probably 1 -2 bags

[@jermpoz2971]

@@TheRamys how much u spend all?

[@sato547]

el desnivel?

[@TheRamys]

It’s pretty even :)

[@damianandlogan5511]

Where's the hot tub video!

[@TheRamys]

I’ll take a video when we set it up this season :)

[@bootsy7]

Slow down and explain

[@TheRamys]

Hey Bootsy, we did a Timelapse which really was meant to document our progress in a sped up fashion. I think you can slow down the video in the KZbin playback setting. Thanks for watching!
