The level of detail that you and your crew spend into lining and leveling the pavers is amazing. Work ethic like this is very hard to find these days, respect.
Ty yes we try to do our best for levels very important!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete agreed. Obviously Dave's attention to detail and dedication to quality has rubbed off nicely on his sons and staff.
This is the standard way we do it in Europe and let me tell you it's better. It looks more appealing and it lasts forever. Water can drain better and usually it doesn't collect as much heat as concrete would. It also seems more durable. No cracks no nothing. And if you want to change something you can just lift them up! Great work!
I don't know , which part of Europe you mentioned, but in my old country instead sand we do the concrete slab on which we setting pavers . It is forever and for example, on driveway we never get wheel tracks or get the pavers uneven after a few heavy rains
I'm from Europe and these small pavers have some huge downsides.
1 any water flow or heavy vehicle will make individual pavers sink and it's never level after a few decades of abuse.
2 needs a lot of maintaining to keep the weeds and algea off. These guys did great but it's not extremely tight so grasses will sprout in northern Europe. Even when done perfectly you get moss growing.
When kept up well and not overloaded they do last, make sure you leep some extra for when some break. You will not find the same ones 30 years later
Unbelievable! I can’t believe how much you transformed this whole yard. Beautiful!… It would be cool if you could give a ballpark price on these jobs….thanks….
Great idea!
I'd say $15k
Great looking job. I've been laying pavers for nearly 40yrs now. I have always place the sand over the pavers before compacting. Rake over the sand leaving a 2mm film over the pavers. Then run the plate compactor over it. Preferably use a urethane mat or carpet bolted the the plate compactor. Wacker actually sells them.
By doing this the sand is vibrated into the joints creating paver interlock.
Yes I like that idea.
God bless you brothers not a challenge that can't be done by grace. Next, great how-to project for my first-time backyard DIY!
This craftsmanship is amazing and underappreciated! Great job!

Some people watch asmr videos, some people watch people eating a giant meal. I like watching Odells company place concrete and pavers.
Me too
TY
No house is perfectly square, but in one of the videos I saw you found that out and found a better way to do it so it would be square. I love it when you leave in the mistakes to show that even experts can make a mistake. Kudos!
Live and learn
If you do pavers ...especially in the northeast, consider using the big 2'x2's .they are big & heavy and won't be as much as a problem when they shift from frost heave.
The little pavers will cause you problems with that. We put down the big Hanover pavers ...that are fantastic.
Nice Paver Job. Really Professional! The space that was transformed is so clean and ready for the owners personality. Thanks for sharing

We did our entire house front yard backyard walkways with Italian marble 1" thick , cement base underneath. It’s been 35 years now looks like it was installed yesterday. You get what you pay for
I've been watching y'all for a while now and I haven't seen a bad job yet. Y'all rock the pavers and concrete.
TY
Thanks for uploading another extremely informative helpful video, many people and DIY prefer pavers because of different unique designs/colors or poor access for concrete truck to pour.
Only maybe a handful of concrete tradesmen that know how to explain advice carefully with just right crucial details on video, great job Mr.Odell
Yes I concur
TY
I’m from Illinois- 72 and in the construction industry my whole life. Whenever I see the Family Name “Odell”, I know an honest, good job has been done.
Thanks Lewis
Excellent video sir. Best detailed video on pavers I seen thus far. Great job to the whole team!
Peace be upon you. Indeed, the American worker in construction is different from the rest of the people. He works for me with sincerity, integrity, and professional and wonderful job. You deserve applause. I follow you from Kuwait, a Saudi residing there.
Thanks for watching
Very nice! Methodical and precise, now you're talking my language.
TY
You guys never surprise me with the quality of your work. Ed
ty
wow! looks very professional and clean.
TY
that pipe trick is astonishingly simply yet also so brilliantly effective!
It really is!
God bless your beautiful family for sharing such a beautiful work.
Thank you! You too!
Love the way you explain things. Thank You.
You are so welcome!
The apple fell right under the tree! Great work, just really great. 👍👍
TY
excellent job....i've never seen the concrete lock-in method before. IMHO, looks more professional then plastic.
yes and last longer
Yep. You can't make paver bridges but like you said, one could do a project like this by themself.
Good stuff. Thanks for all your videos. Really great
For sure
TY
This is absolutely an exceptional job. Well done, guys!

@@OdellCompleteConcrete
I've got a question, Sir. You know when you lay the sharp sand flat, just before you put the slabs on the top, I've seen a builder adding a thin layer of mixed dry cement and sand and then when they put the slabs down, they'll start watering it in order to go hard underneath. Please, advise me because I'm about to do some work in my back garden, in East London. Thanks for finding the time to answer me.
Very nice, enjoyed watching. Used the same pavers for my project in gray. But sure wish my contractor would have done a border like that. Maybe I can add later on my own now.
I like the concrete on the edges. I couldn’t think of what to do for that part
Concrete works
This!!! My house is in the final stages of being built, it’s right next to my old house and our landscaping people did recommend us these for our patio and our driveway because and it turned out amazing compared to the driveway in my old house also the repairs are way cheaper and you can DIY
Putting concrete is tiring but papers is worst. Almost done already great job guys always a masterpiece.
ty
Pavers are definitely tricky! Great job guys!
TY
Wow, that's beautiful finish project, awesome job yal
Thanks a bunch!
thanks for this post learned some tricks here. not an easy job thats for sure takes time and needs to be done right the first time
GL
Nice job Mister Odell, the pavers looks good, from France.
TY
Good job Timothy I appreciate the detail you guys take. Nice g 👍🏾
TY
The Romans laid a lot of their roads with thick small pavers, it was their idea we still use to this day. It’s the best for longevity and heavy use.
I don't think they were very thin, and they were stone
That was impressive.
ty
I've been a hardscape contractor for over 30 years. Installed pavers from dozens of manufacturers. They look great when installed but I've been getting more pushback and complaints from customers who's installs go back 10 years or more. We're seeing a lot of deterioration and crumbling especially on the oldest jobs. Some brands hold up better than others but a lot of that is dependent on the age and in some cases no rhyme or reason why the pavers fail on similar age identical brands of paver. In my market were seeing a fair amount of customers rejecting the pavers and going back to slate and stone for this reason.
Enjoying my day off and I’ve literally sat here on my couch for the last few hours watching all you videos. Great work!!! I wish you guys were in Seattle lol
Me too
TY
Don’t be scared u can do it too it’s easy just hired my good friends Mexi/ can they will get the job done
damn, amazing work, love it
Aswsome job wet setting the paver soldier course. great idea instead of a plastic parameter borader.
Yes
TY
BETTER THAN CONCRETE?
...looks damn good thats hard to say tbh. Concrete with brick inlays looks very nice too.
Hard to say but it does look awesome especially how the pavers flow up against the retaining wall.
Looks Damn Good 👍
For sure
you guys did a great job i do the same thing on cape cod ma exact same way i have also poured a lot of concrete floors i love it
Awesome
TY
Love it, way to make the most out of a small backyard
I concur
You should sweep the sand in place before you compact with the plate compactor. The sand vibrates down and settles in place preventing the pavers from breaking.
Please consider coming to Missouri! I need New extended patio (N to S entire back of home with new patio in center), plus must have the flow to go away from the house foundation all the way around the home, as well. Stunning! Help....
Sure I would like to do a working vacation
Quedó de maravilla el trabajo del adoquín excelente grupo de profesionales 💯💯💯 saludos cordiales desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯
ty
I was just gonna ask David how they keep the outside pavers from shifting but then he showed us they use concrete under the outside pavers. That's pretty smart! 🤔
Yes
Damn that looks so much better than a slab
Nice job producing video. Great info.
Much appreciated!
Looks great.
When you do more you will not have to set your pipes 2 times. Get gavel close and set 1inch pipes. Do you have slag sand in California ? Much better then sand.
yes
sounds good
TY
Nice job looks badass.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice. Nice job. Looks beatiful.
TY
8:07 “Freehand that sh*t right there” 😂
bingo
Looks killer 👍 Super nice !
ty
I looked a Video how you made a Slab and now this came from RUclips and i only can say you are the Rolls-Royce of all Handymens!
You need to come to Florida to see how sloppy they do all down here.......
Gr8Job
I sure would like to make a job stop and the way to Carribeans
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Welcome !
David, how does the cost of doing pavers compare to doing concrete?
double
Looking awesome guys!
TY
another impressive job!
TY
nice video i wish you had gone more into detail the drainage and how you installed it as well as your slope away from the house, thanks
Next time I sure will
Idk if better than concrete but definitely looks better in away . Idk I’m just a fan of concrete can’t go wrong with it
Yes it a matter of preference and cost
Love it, except all the 4 way joints.
Great job. Great quality
TY
Absolutely gorgeous
TY
That was an entertaining review to be fair bro. You have a new subscriber 😎
TY
Was just thinking about how do I keep the Florida rain running off the pavers, away from the house. Beautiful work.
great
Nicely done man
TY
👏👏👍.🏆 👍, very good job, thanks, sam job me from England, seven years working England, me, thanks for your 👍
Great

2200 square feet is a lot of pavers I've done both I prefer concrete they both look nice but concrete goes in much faster ,I think most finishers like the in & out factor get ur done & get out of there good job guys.
I concur
TY
The wet set concrete perimeter, how thick is the concrete? Seems like it is prone to cracking, hence the bricks will readily move.
Also, you'd mention to soak the base rock before compacting, aren't you concerned about over saturating it & the subgrade? You could get pumping as a result.
It looks like you guys bring the Professional 😂 good video.
Thanks! 😃
Thanks for these uploads mate. Am mid way through doing a DIY job at my place with just over 120 Square metres of paving. Yup, Im feeling old. Also had to install 5 storm water drain inlets and one inspection point. First time I have done plumbing and used a new invention called a Snap Tee. Been great looking at your youtube clips as I leant to screet and level correctly. Cheers from Australia.
I make those by cutting in half and tie wire.
TY
Give Juan a raise
Great video like always! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Beautiful
Nice job and well explained process, thank you.
YW

Sure looks amazing

Great job.

Craftsman at their best.

Les quedo chingon ese jale primaso
I really like how you used the pipe and paver, to establish finish grade to your drains. How much did the pavers settle into the sand? Was that a factor, so pavers ended up flush with drains? Just wondering if you left pavers slightly higher than string line, to account for this? (His hand was blocking camera close up). My concern is not to end up low at drains, after compaction.
Look forward to learning this important detail from your skilled team!
If the base is tight and the sand is consistent 1" you can count on a 1/4"
Dudes high as a kite 😎😎
which dude? 😎

Great work guys thank you.learned some details thanks.
Our pleasure!
great video series, as usual! In general, how does the cost of a similar stamped concrete pattern compare with pavers in a situation like this? 2x- 3x-4x? another question, have you ever done a video on dealing with boulevard trees(liquid amber as an example) that are repeatedly raising the sidewalks?
The city of Long B, Ca. each has been adamant about not removing the trees and expects the homeowner to pay for the replacement of the walkways, driveways, etc
root barriers help.
Replace with pavers. When it moves, reset the pavers.
Thanks! Very nice work.
TY
Amazing team great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job looks incredible!!!!!!
TY
Looks cool
ty
Amazing video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Nice clean job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking great

I like the way the pavers look when it’s all done, it looks gorgeous BUT let’s not forget, in California, we get earthquakes all the time and those pavers do move and they separate from each other so you start getting gaps and then when we get good heavy rains, all that dirt that’s underneath that base rock, it’s starts drying and it starts to swell and that starts making the pavers look all wavy on top. I’m just not sold on pavers, there’s nothing like good ol’ concrete with some nice beautiful lines on top, that’s just me….
I think long term maintenance free poured in place concrete done right will always do better.
Awesome,Learning a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
profesional install for
patios and walkways

polymeric sand in the top
compact the base ande the pavers with polymeric sand blow out all the dust before spray the little water 2 times
warranty 20 years
Hardcore
Anyone else notice the string line showing the lines weren’t straight? 14:58 the string is right in the middle of the pavers. 15:30 the string is to the left of center. Maybe I’m just being picky. Maybe it’s the angle. Looks great either way.
No one better
Ty
Pavers look great when they are new but over time weeds grow in the cracks and it needs to be resealed often
Good point
Do you normally seal pavers and if so, what are some of your favorite products? We have a newly installed paver patio but it hasn't been sealed yet, I'm debating on whether or not to do it.
Glaze and Seal
Nice
