I’ve been planning on copying this project and the time is here…i have all the materials and I have explained it to my helper (I did a row last year and it was a killer even with knee guards…gravity hates me). It came out straight and the run off pitch was near perfect but it took me too long and it was just too rough for me..I’m a female and I tip my hat off to you men…y’all have lots of energy and the tenacity it takes to get things straight is insane and underrated…we women don’t give u enough credit…but thank you. My husband, who was my helper last time is horrible at DIY but he loves me and makes sure that I have another helper that is not him for both of our sakes. I’m glad I rewatched because I forgot about the rod there…I have been using a string with the poles but this will add even more stability…this is literally the very best brick design out there on KZbin that looks pro AND modern but can actually be done by an average homeowner. I will be forever grateful.

Thank you for this excellent video! This is exactly what I have in mind for my backyard. Love the brick color you chose. How has the edging held up as a barrier to weeds and grass migrating? Do you still have to use a sting trimmer to cut the grass along the lawn edge? I saw that you recommended putting concrete behind the upright bricks. If starting from scratch, would you recommend putting a layer of concrete down below both flat and upright bricks too?
@OutdoorBeards8 ай бұрын
Helllo! The edging has some grass coming up through here and there. I think it’s in areas where I didn’t quite get the gap full with the poly sand. I do use a string trimmer along the edge just because I prefer the look. If I don’t then the grass kind of leans over the horizontal paver and obscures the nice line. As for concrete below and behind. This depends on your area. Where I live the soil is more like a clay, so the dirt that’s on the yard side is pretty solid and holds the horizontal paver in place. The reason I had to go back and put concrete behind the upright was the dirt I put back there was garden soil for my wife to plant flowers and such in. That soil is much softer so the concrete hold the upright in place. You could just use the rubber or plastic paver edging stuff which holds both the sand and pavers in place but it’s expensive. Concrete is cheaper. If using concrete be aware of trees near by. If a tree root messes with the edging it will be much harder to fix if concrete is involved.

Not a rookie question. Cement is a little harder to flatten out than sand due to the rocks in it and cement has some downsides or things to consider. If you have trees for instance and the roots push up under your edging then road base and sand are easy to fix that cement. But cement hold better under regular use. To be honest I wish I had used a little behind the upright pavers at least.

First - CONGRATS on your new addition! Being a girl dad is one of, if not the BEST thing that ever happened to me. I am so happy for you sir!! Hey I'm curious, after a year or so since you installed the pavers, are the ones sticking up high (I'll call them vertical) still stabding up and straight or are the leaning or falling g over? I was thinking of doing this but was kicking around the idea of putting the paver edging behind it. My thought was that the vertical stones would want to fall over (especially with kids running around and stepping on them) so the edging may offer some support. I'm probably just over thinking this but it seems like a good idea. I would love your feedback on this to know if you would do anything different after having them installed around a year or so now.
@OutdoorBeards2 жыл бұрын
Hello and thanks! Yes being a girl dad is awesome. Having one of each is just amazing. As for the pavers, yes I would do something different and I did modify this the following summer. Edging on the backside of the vertical would be a good idea. The poly sand does not hold as well as I had expected so the vertical will pull away from the horizontal and lean backwards towards the fence. Saw this most in area where the kids play the most. My solution was to put some quick concrete behind the vertical, about 2 inches tall and sloped back creating kind of a triangle of concrete. Putting paver edging behind it during install like your talking about would be a great idea and I think it would stop the problems I ran into.

Take a long 2x4, as long as you can fit in the area, set it down and put your level on it. Look at where the bubble is. Do the same process like in the video but instead of holding level you are holding the bubble off center to match the slope. I had to do this on the back fence between the two patios because the shed sits slightly higher than the round patio. Also, depending on how severe the slope is, you may want to consider quickset concrete instead of sand. When you wet everything down after the cement will harden and keep everything from slowly working it’s way down the slope.

After this was done the area behind the upright was filled with dirt and mulch, this stopped the pavers from moving backwards, in front of the flat paver is dirt and grass seed, once the grass grew in they couldn’t move forward. The poly metric sand in between holds the pavers together. Now I will admit, I have kids and the the poly sand did not hold as well as I wanted in areas where they play a lot. I have had to fix some of the uprights and added a little concrete behind them. The flat pavers have no issues.

It seems like the base has a lot of sand. I'd like to see how this holds up over time

Great job and efficient. I have a question, if the sand isn't compacted... does the paver sink when it gets trodden on or mower wheeel runs over one?

The sand seems to compact itself under the weight of paver. My wife started planting stuff over the last couple weeks and I was watching her stand on the edging while she dug a hole. Nothing moved. I’ve also hit it with the mower a bunch last summer and fall without any issues.

My only concern is that the paver might move when they get hit by the mower. I did a similar job but with cement instead of sand, so far so good and they are not moving despite getting hit by the mower sometimes.

Had a couple issues with the uprights with that. The horizontals haven’t moved at all though. The raised bed behind it keeps the line from moving back and the dirt and grass in front keep the line from moving forward.
