pro tip for anyone reading, PVC pipe for screed rails like that are too flexible. if you have any low spots/dips in your gravel base, you can inadvertently push the PVC screed pipes down into the dips, thus getting a dip in your screed layer. Spend the extra money on metal pipes for your screed rails, this isn't something you want to redo down the road.

[@richardhald-rasmussen]

Steel pipes❤

@@MNhockeydude35cant always trust the wood to be as straight. If you get the 3/4 in pipe, and you take care of them and don’t beat on them too much. They won’t get ruined

[@markadler8968]

@@MNhockeydude35 Wood can warp over time and also is not a smooth surface for the screed to slide over. A nice smaller cast iron or heavy gauge steel pipe 3/4" is ideal because you can hammer the screed pipe into place if it is too high with a rubber mallet.

Looks easy. 24 years ago I installed traditional pavers...Put down the road mix and sand. Had it all sloped away from house and ready to lay pavers the next morning. Well the next morning my daughters put our 2 yr old golden outside and you can guess what happened. I was not able to sufficiently repair the sand so from then on I have a low spot that collects water when it rains. That dog finished her journey about 10 years ago and her work remains. RIP Sunny.

Future reference, spray a little water on the ground and let it soak in. Not enough to turn to mud but enough to soften up and will also help with dust control

When you said that you don't have the "budget for that", I was under the impression this would be cheaper than concrete. But at $26 per 16"X16" tile. Excluding the more expensive tiles for the edges.... I think the concrete is the more affordable option. Cool video and great job.

[@britneyferndx763]

[@kaizen_5091]

It's wonderful how user friendly the system is and makes it possible for a diyer to complete a small paving project over a weekend. Paying labor costs for a job like this often becomes the biggest expense, not the pavers, so to be able to do it yourself might make the difference between having a nicely paved area and not.

Awesome work! I would have used the dirt for a couple of raised garden beds. Put in some small diameter logs to help fill in the bottom and give plants something to eat in the years to come and you easily have enough for two nice size garden beds. Also, I like to put a nice tarp in my truck bed before moving dirt or gravel, then I can ease out the load into a cart without having to shovel every scoop, just slide it out off the end of the tailgate. It also keeps my truck bed cleaner and doesn't get my tailgate all jammed up with stones and dirt. Thanks for posting this video 🥰

You have to use rigid tubes for leveling, not pvc which are flexible. Once you achieve level between those 2 tubes then you do feather edge sand etc. If you use pvc then it flexes and never is even to echother , not mentioning level overall. Compacter can slightly even out dents on the finished surface but will not do miricles. Bether start from as leveled surface as possible, before you lay crates

I used an electric roto tiller to pave my backyard and it was so fun and easy. I’ve also used a roto tiller to run a water line to my pool area. Would till a small footprint and suck up loose dirt with a shop vac. The trench was so fast and easy to lay the pipe in a fraction of the time.

[@kaialoha-bs2gm]

Couple of questions first one is if you don’t have used poly sand than how do you control the weeds that will grow in between the paver. Second is how much weight can the pave gold before it sink, and 3rd how well will it hold against the sun and fade and scratches. Love that it’s lightweight paver but will it hold overtime.

[@stradric]

Also ants love to build in non-poly sand.

[@capitalinventor4823]

Last year I used an easier system when I put patio pavers down in front of my front steps. (I actually took the old pavers up, dug up the base that had become partially eroded from water, put in a new base and this product, and replaced the pavers. I had fixed the water issue the previous year.) I used Brock PaverBase Panels. Each panel is approximately 5 square feet in area, different hardware chains have slightly different sized panels, that are laid on top of the sand and you place your choice of paving stones on top. Holes in the panel allow water to pass through. The biggest advantage is that they allow one to greatly reduce the amount of gravel base by three inches. Instead of digging down six inches one only needs to dig down three. Any force that would have caused a single paver to either sink down or be raised up before gets spread out across the panel. The edges of the panels are designed to overlap to provide more stability for the pavers. (One end and one side extend halfway on the top while the other sides extend on the bottom.) Cutting the panels is easy. The pavers I installed have gone through a Canadian winter and they still look as good as when I installed them. The cost of the panel is more than the gravel base it saves but I think that ease in installation and the virtual elimination of individual pavers rising or falling are more than worth the cost.

PRO TIP: WAY GOO MUCH SAND!!! That will become an ANT HILL! Btw… Do not use sand, use granite chips. A little more expensive, fast prep, won’t settle, won’t attract ants and will dry out much faster. Sand is an old construction method that anyone doing quality work anymore doesn’t use. I wish these channels would vet some of their work ideas past someone who actually does the work. He’s passing himself off as a DIY PRO, but there is a wrong and a right way. Also, don’t use PVC. Use steel pipe. For how much money and time you are putting into a project like this don’t be a cheap ass. You want to be accurate with your prep.

[@mikeguerriero222]

[@justingibbons5559]

Sprinkler system first? Bigger plastic shovel, also you could have mixed the dirt with cement and used as a base instead of gravel. It wouldn't drain as well but if you sloped it and sealed it, it would run off. Just thoughts coming to my head because I am installing pavers as well.

[@damiankimmins3880]

I extended my driveway a few years back. A couple of things I've noticed that would help any prospective DIY paver would be to first frame the area you are paving to your finished height. You can do that with some pin kerbs. That allows you to dip the area with a stting line so nothing is left to guess work. Secondly, screed rails need to be steel and of reasonable rigidity so as not to deviate from a level screed bed.

[@Jmm388]

Next time instead of trying to spray the ground with regular spray they have ground marking spray paint, makes ot alot easier to make lines on the ground because the nozzle faces straight out from the can instead of to the side.

I also noted the grids seemed to be laid next to one another and no offset happened. It seems that would help keep the grid straight and provide for a great interlock no matter the pattern. Any thoughts on that? And could you use the polymeric sand at the edge band to lock them in while keeping the field available to adjust as needed down the road instead of caulking each. It looks real good and has a high DIY user efficiency and if cost were equal to finished stamped concrete I'd call this a win.

Those pavers are fantastic. 95% recycled tires and the color is throughout the material. I've installed them as roof pavers. They are great to walk on barefoot and don't absorb heat like wood. But they are very expensive, +/- $10.00 a square foot for your contractor, you can figure his markup above that price. This doesn't include labor, a 25' x 16' patio could cost you possibly , $12,000 but you get a superior product, but they can be damaged, get extra., I'd compare the price of poured concrete first.

[@markadler8968]

Who says that is a superior product? They are new and only time will tell. By the way they are over $15 sq ft with the matt plus the cost of the road base and sand/glue plus installation. So you would be looking at about $18000 +/- for the installation on a 25' x 16' patio. You can get traditional pavers, sand, road base and geogrid for about $5 per foot and get a 25' x 16' patio installed for about $6000 +/-. You are absolutely right about the poured concrete, for that kind of money concrete would be a no brainer.

I came to see if anyone had said this. Even on video it looks plastic-y. I would never… but I see lots of vinyl fences, so clearly some don’t care.
