Screeding & Laying Pavers Never Gets Old...

Off to the best part of the install... screeding for the pavers and laying them out! This job is coming out excellent and I love the color tones of these pavers, let me know what you think. Enjoy the video!
- To see all the videos from this project, click this playlist link right here 👉 • Lake House Makeover!
- The main pavers and outer border pavers are manufactured by (Genest). The main pavers are called (Grand Katahdin) and the outer border pavers are called (Katahdin). They both have the same color tone called (Granite Blend).
- The inner contrasting border pavers are manufactured by (Nicolock) and the style is called (Old Vienna) with a color tone called (Raven)
- The wall block used is manufactured by (Techo Bloc) and the style is called (Semma) with a color tone called (Shale Grey). The cap used for the wall is also made by (Techo Bloc) and the style is called (Architectural Cap) with a color tone called (Onyx Black).
* The bedding stone we used under our pavers is called (Chip Stone) here in Massachusetts. It is a 1/4" - 3/8" and less, clean, crushed stone with no fine particles in it. It is also know as (HPB- High Performance Bedding) and also (PBS - Premium Bedding Stone).

Great job, here in Massachusetts we used , stone dust/3/4 crushed stone mix. Screed and compact, lay pipe again, 1 inch of sand.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you. I am in Massachusetts also. I switched from the traditional gravel base / sand bedding about 5 years ago now to this far superior method (Open Grade Base). It is way better for water drainage and more stable. It is less likely to wash out and less likely to heave in the winter because it holds less water than sand / gravel. Here is a video I made which explains the (Open Grade Base) method I use in more detail 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZnEe5hpf9Z3bKs

Awesome vids as usual! have you ever tried a screed rake like the Pave Tool Quick-E-Screeder? I got one last fall with the interchangeable 2’, 4’ and 6’ rakes. As well as a couple back pack vacuums for laying. Serous game changer! A bit pricey but worth every penny in my eyes. No time spent on my hands and knees while screeding saves so much energy and way less fatigue at the end of the day.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks! I have used the Quick-E-Screeder before, very nice tool. But I used it for a company I was at. I plan on getting some more tools like that little by little. I agree with it saving you a lot of energy. ✌

[@jeffreygenerelli8483]

Hey! Just discovered your vids today. Sounds like we are from the same neck of the woods. I'm from Worcester. Could you recommend budget screeding rails as I am only going to use them for one project. Size is 5'X24'. I am using concrete sand on top of pebble. Is there a max thickness to the sand? I have to fill in about 10'' but I have a compactor. I live in the desert.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Oh nice! I am very close to you, I am out of Oxford. As far as budget screed rails, I'm not to sure... I would not recommend PVC because it is too flexible... You need something strong and straight. The gas pipes work perfect. Unfortunately they are like $20-$30 per piece... And as far as the base prep you plan on, I would advise laying fabric over the base stone before you use concrete sand. If not, all the sand will migrate into the stones below it and cause your pavers to sink. Check out this video on how we prepare the base for our paver installs 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZnEe5hpf9Z3bKs

The new chip stone looks more round than the blue chip stone. I'm wondering, over time would it be more prone to shift? I know you like the blue chip stone because it interlocks, keeping things in place. Maybe revisit this site in a year or so to see how well it has performed 🎭

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It does seem a little less angular but is still pretty angular. It is not washed pebbles which are very round.... So I think it will hold up nice and with it being smaller, they should lock together better hopefully. 🤞

[@kinglumjuml1528]

Hey I like your videos man you really take pride in your work. Small question about compaction after chip stone. Is the way you lay your bases make it not necessary for compaction after chip stone?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

That's awesome to hear man, I certainly try. The chip stone gets compacted by hammering the pavers into place and tamping the pavers during the polymeric sand stage. During those stages the pavers will typically settle about 1/4" give or take a hair...

[@jasonbeals5784]

Love the video's man, you two are amazing at what you do; I think you're making a difference on how people approach these types of projects; the open grade base. I had a quick question, say I have 710 sq ft of pavers to lay, there is a 13ft x 14ft section then a small 3ft x 5 ft walkway between two sets of stairs and a wall, then 13ft x 30ft section all connected. I'll excavate down to the proper grade of the whole area, and backfill 1" with 3/4" clean crushed stone, then lay down geotextile woven plastic, compact it, backfill 6" with the same 3/4" clean crushed stone, then 1" 3/8" clean chip (" angular pea gravel") then pavers/poly sand/compact. I plan on backfilling and compacting the whole area with the 3/4" clean stone. Main question, could I break the project up in terms of finishing the bed layer (3/8") laying the pavers and adding the poly sand and compacting in sections, the 13x14 area and 3x5 area first, then do the 13x30 area? or would that cause issues? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for all you do to help the community. God bless brother. Thanks for any advice you can give.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks! That sounds like a pretty fun project! You definitely can build it in sections. It wont effect a finished section if you are working on a section close by. So however you want to approach it, should be fine.

[@chrislent8142]

When you say you're laying the pavers "Randomly"...truly randomly or is there some type of continuing pattern you are following? I don't have that geometric mind that can just "see" how it should go...I'm thinking randomly leaves you stuck at some point that they don't fit together right..?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Yes, I lay completely randomly while watching out for a few important no-no's... It takes years of experience to be able to do that but it gives the best result in my opinion. Patterns are easy to spot and takes away from the look I think. I got quite a few other videos on my channel of us laying pavers and I explain the randomly laid tricks in some of them.

Nice, glad to hear it! And yes, Even if it is covered, I recommend a slight slope incase any water gets on it. Unless it has a roof and walls, then you can lay them level.

Love all these videos! So satisfying to watch. I really like your methods and explanations. It’s been very interesting and helpful. I had a raised patio put in a couple years ago that was done very poorly. So with the inspiration of your videos and explanations I’m going to try to pull it up and reinstall it properly. If I have retaining wall blocks on one end that is the base of the patio would you put in a cap that acts as the border paver? They initially just laid holland stone around the top of the wall blocks as the border. Then would you make cuts against the foundation side or the retaining wall if they are needed to make the pavers fit? They’re currently cut against the retaining wall side but it will need to be redone as the border currently isn’t straight. Otherwise I’m getting my supplies ready and getting ready to tackle this redo project! Thanks for all the content. It’s fantastic.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you, I appreciate the support. I would definitely recommend the wall caps instead of the pavers. The caps are heavier and lock in better on top of a wall. Then I would lay the pavers starting behind the wall and make the cuts against the foundation if needed. Good luck with the project! ✌

[@user-cw4li3tp9j]

I appreciate the input! I was leaning that way and thought that was the best route from what I’ve seen in the videos but a confirmation makes me feel a lot better. That’s pretty much the opposite of how it was installed, if that gives any idea of why it needs help. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming! They really are helpful and informative!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

No problem at all. You will do just fine I'm sure. thanks again✌

[@miguelb5175]

Another great video, thanks! I’m planning something similar, why is the little wall against the foundation necessary? Wouldn’t you be able to place the pavers right up against the foundation?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you! The wall is necessary because there is no foundation wall there. We are building the patio higher than the foundation and up against the siding. So that wall will hold the pressure from the backfill material and keep that and the pavers held in place without it pushing on the siding. Without it, there would most likely be settling issues and siding damage issues in the future.

[@juandoed332]

Do you think this is better than screenings for tighter compaction

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It is not about tight compaction, it is about drainage. The problem with screenings is that once it is compacted super tight, the water has a tough time draining through it... This clean stone allows water to drain right through down into the subsoil.

[@AdamGaal-zd3ih]

After initially laying those pavers, were you higher than the wall cap to account for compaction or settling? Or did you screed to a height that puts your pavers flush with the wall cap?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Yes, we set the screed rails for 1/4" higher than the cap to account for compaction.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Absolutely. I use 3/8 crushed stone sometimes myself. The 1/4 is hard to find.

[@JohnBrown-cn9oh]

I have a question, does adding the chipstone to the border and compacting it down to level close the permeability rate of the open grade base?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It does not close the permeability, the stone will settle and compact on its own if you don't do it yourself. That is why it is very important. ✌

[@kyeegray]

So you dont need to compact this 1/4 bedding material? Does it settle at all after placing the pavers?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Correct. You compact the base stone, screed the chip stone loose and then compact the pavers into the chip stone. ✌

[@squests3139]

Hi, is chip stone the same thing as 2 way modified. My quarry only has 2 way modified and concrete sand? Which is better?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I think 2 way modified has dust and fine particles mixed in. That is not what you want. And if you use concrete sand over 3/4 clean base stone, you will need to put fabric over the base stone so that it does not migrate down. I would try a few other places. 3/8" clean, crushed stone is your best bet for chip stone

Hey man you rock 🪨 why the retaining wall block against the house? We've never done that I'm curious what the benefits are. You the man!!!

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thanks for the feedback man! We built the wall against the house because we needed to backfill about 8 inches of the trim work on the house , so the blocks retain the stone and pressure instead of it being on the house. If it was a concrete foundation wall, I would have been able to just backfill against it. But because this house is built on supports and does not have a foundation, the wall block was necessary in my opinion. ✌

We do not tamp the 1/4" rock. It is sturdy enough to lay pavers on. Then we tamp the pavers into the stone when polymeric sanding. And we do not screed the 3/4. We just rake it smooth and to the correct pitch. Then compact and screed.

Hey man, glad to hear it! So 3/4 clean stone only needs to be compacted in 6 inch lifts. Most applications, we only use 6 inches of stone.

You guys really do a fantastic job, taking pride in your work. I would like to thank you for acknowledging Jesus Christ as our savior God Bless you 🙏

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you very much, I always appreciate feedback like this. I would not be where I am today if it was not for what Jesus did for me. He is my Lord and Savior and I am not ashamed to say it. God bless brother! ✌🏻
