I was able to do something similar to all my garden beds(6) and used white brick and man did it come out great. I'm now adding a bunch new plants and seasonal vegetables and fruit. Where I live in Texas every single neighbor has their own garden and really a mini farm.
I live in Iowa and I used paver base with leveling sand for a similar project using retaining wall bricks. Pretty solid. I plan on doing the same thing as this video for the side of my house with the paver bricks and using paver base with leveling sand again. But I'll use the polymeric sand to fill gaps since they are pavers
I created two of these borders. I used gray bricks instead of red bricks because they matched my house better. Both gray brick borders were installed summer 2021. Now its been a year and they are still perfect, despite a winter of freeze-thaw. The first brick border was a real learning experience. But after the first one it was easy. And somewhat addictive to create.
Got a bunch of antique bricks I dug out of what is to be my new garden. I've been told that they used to firm the walkway. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. This seems like a great idea.
I wish I would have watched this BEFORE I did my project- oh well, live and learn. Or rather live, learn, tear it all up, do it over till I get it right.
A few pro tips: if you have one use a gas edger with the metal blade attachment. Makes digging out grass a lot faster. Use paint to mark curves and a piece of lumber to keep straight lines super straight as you cut with the edger. But more importantly the curved bricks are super easy and nicer than this video with two things - a speed square and a tile saw. A cheapie saw will work but as you move up in saw quality your job goes faster. When you get to the first brick in your curve lay it next to the previous brick. Lay the speed square on the previous brick and mark the angle with pencil on the next brick. That's your curve line! Each brick of the curve just lay next to the previous and mark with the speed square. More cuts to make but no gaps to fill and looks super professional.
@Construction Machinery Channel: i seen your comment in another video and I want to work on my garden but i dont have much experience and i been looking at garden videos for ideas. I notice some people in other videos just dig the holes and lay the bricks and others lay a concrete bed before laying the brick. What is the purpose of the concrete bed? And is it really needed when edging a garden?
@@Chris-29 I am in Chicago and here not many people recommend using concrete due to the freeze/thaw cycle. If you don't use a good base like paver base then the bricks are going to move around a lot after the winter and in a year it's going to not look so good. Concrete is not needed as long as you dig out some dirt and replace it with a good base. Then compact the base and put the pavers on top. Where are you located?
I watched this video 5 years ago when it was released.. Today, I have a weed filled trench, bricks in piles within the flower bed and I'm missing the tips of 3 fingers.... lol!
Jeremy Rios This happens with EVERY ATOH episode...and this is the correct way I did my yard except I used cobblestones...I work construction I didn’t need this video but I wanted to see if I could learn some tips & tricks
Beautifully executed...! Every step seems simple and well explained, the only thing I'd change is the height of the bricks. I'd rather have my bricks or stone a little higher than my lawn to make a better contrast and accentuate the mulch or rock in between those plants.
if you want to cut the brick if you dont have a circular saw you can use a grinder with a diamond blade. also you can fix only in sand by a hammer and after they are locked you must do the same operation seen in the video, brushing the sand into the gaps. you can use some dividers between bricks for even space between them.
Everedge is so much easier and is permanent. It's sold on Amazon and in some catalogs. It creates a beautiful edging but it's costly. Five 5 inch tall metal edgers cost $119 - 130. It's worth it!
Love watching This Old House, unfourtionally, the Pittsburgh channel, channel 13 PBS went off the air, can't get it anymore on my tv antenna. Bummer, and I love PBS educational TV channels.
I have a super cheap way (dig a bit, black plastic underlay, pave on, done) did the same job and after 25 years it is as good as the one you show us here.
I realize it's 7 years after the video was posted so not many people will read this but I had to comment. It's seems really dumb to me to shovel all the dirt onto a tarp and then turn right around and shovel it into the garden bed. That's crazy! Just shovel it into the garden bed the first time so that you don't have to move it all twice!!
this can literally be done by laying down bricks-I live in upstate NY and even with the weather conditions I haven't needed anything else to hold them in place---they haven't budged lol
true It just depends on what you are going for. The way this was done pretty much guarantees no future maintenance. So for a little more cash/time you wont be pulling weeds out of the edges or having your kids/dog etc move the bricks out of place ever so often.
I love it how all the “paver edging” videos all show people digging in nice loamy soils and level yards. Show me how to do it in a high sloping yard that is full of Alabama chert (concrete-like clay/ rock soil)! 🤣 Also, TOH once again is using “stone dust”. What the heck is that (other than the obvious - thanks to any CPT Obvious out there) and where can you find it? Cannot find it in the southeast.
Y’all make it look and seem so easy! Even though it’s just bricks, the finished project is fantastic looking! I just had some edging done by my lawn/landscaper and it was not done anything like that! I’m totally bummed! I was going to ask him not to do the work but he showed up and was already down before I knew it 😩
I feel your pain! Just experienced it and the landscaper just put bricks down at the edge without much foundation work or even sand in between. The grass they laid is full of weeds in a matter of few weeks. Landscapers from hell…I will have to have it redone either by myself or engage another landscaper to help me out.
we created a paver edge around our garden...hire someone! UGH! LOL. I do have a question. On some of the pavers, it seems like the sand didn't set correctly or there were gaps between the pavers. Can we add more paver sand and redo the process? Is that possible or will it just chip off ? Thanks
Lo Khans No, for the love of God, don't do it! According to all the comments on here you are going to cut your hands off, get electrocuted, have a crooked border, and basically just do too much work. And whatever you do, don't use a tarp. From what I gather here it's an unnecessary step and you might break a sweat.
"until it changes colour" that would mean digging several meters deep around here...actually depending on the soil you have, it isn't really worth doing all the effort, if you have a soil with much clay in it, just using that to lay the bricks can hold 5-10 years, and chances are you are doing some major rework because you don't like the layout anymore anyways...
Hi, I am reaching out because I am trying to plan my spring landscaping adventure, I have been putting it off for years because I have sunken goose eggs from previous owners, the area around my entire house has these ancient goose eggs that I cannot retrieve. My question is can I plan a new landscape OVER them and how? I am not in good physical position to dig them out and cannot afford to hire people to do so. What advise can you give me if any?
I'm a little confused as to what was meant at 3:22 he said that it ( the brick) should be flush on either side but then appears to make it flush on both sides!
the end shows the bricks flush with the mulch...bricks went in before mulch, so how space should be left on the mulch side to account for the covering...1" 2"???
i feel like that's an unnecessary amount of work.. you only ever want to use the 'stabilizing' sand when you've got heavy traffic going through there. but i do appreciate that these guys when they do things they tend to do thing correctly.
I believe it's a "Empress Wu" hosta. Zones 3-9. They get huge if you make sure to give them plenty of water. Needs shade or maybe filtered light. Just Google Empress Wu hosta for info. Hope that helps.
Most people agree that this is too much work. Question from a garden newbie, is this too much work because of poor execution or because it's just too much work to edge a garden in general? I need to edge mine. Any suggestions on a better way to do it? (maybe with a ref to a video)
me to hun, way to old for this so i just dug a bit at a time, cuppa needed for sitting in between and dug a trench around bit i wanted done, than just added coloured gravel. works a treat and no weeding
Don't know if you've solved your problem yet, but this seems to be a common solution: www.amazon.com/EverEdge-Steel-Lawn-Edging-Brown/dp/B019ZSEYPE?th=1
It's not too much work for most people. It's not a race so you can work at your own pace. Beats sittin on your butt in front of the Tele. Better way to do it? Not really.
Decorative small stones is the way to go, I prefer the white ones it will look nice. Don't get the big stones, keep it up under half inch stones. If you add mulch you will have to reapply every year (or few) and you need to remove the old one first.
The only expensive tool was the circular saw. You can get used ones for 30 bucks, rent or just buy a new one for $50. You don't need anything super great. I bet your neighbors have one that you could borrow... granted you have to buy the blade which can be 8-30 bucks. Tape measure, shovel, wheel barrel is all stuff under 30 and you don't necessarily need them but would make life easier.... In fact if you want to old school it you could break the bricks with a chisel and hammer. The most expensive thing is probably going to be the bricks if you are doing a large area.
Does anyone know roughly how much stone dust and sand you need based on length? Also, can you make it a little higher than ground level so easier to trim grass?
This video shows how to do it the 100% professional way. Depending on the area, you can do this simply by making sure soil is prepped, then add salt to the soil to inhibit weeds, lay bricks, add paver sand which inhibits weeds, between cracks, broom and hose down.
Looks great. Then you will have to mow. Then it will be a pain in the ass. Next year the grass will over grow the bricks. Unless you make it higher than what the grass can grow to.
You missed the point. Squirting water at any saw that's not rated for it is a mistake. I realize there is a threshold and if you do not hose the motor housing nothing will happen, but the potential is there to either short the windings and or get bit by full line current. Misguiding people from the start is just irresponsible.
briancnc the saw is grounded. Contractors use their saws in all sorts of weather without getting electrocuted.. No where did they haul out a hose and if anyone is actually that stupid then there lots of ways to get hurt building things and they should just be satisfied watching someone else do the work.
Can you not use old vintage brick( us Southerners are great for collecting old brick and recycling) instead of new pavers? Not really wanting to buy anything.
You can ... but vintage brick tends to get frost damage when it's wet, so it might deteriorate. Garden bricks like the ones used should be frost-resistant.
Shit, ill just build plywood and order a concrete truck. Quick and easier. Maybe lil more money but super deep and thick. Put some color in and fglass .
Yea...people try to shortcut. If a person doesn’t have a passion for it, it will turn out terrible! Personally, I love doing this type of work. It’s very therapeutic

I'm so glad I live in Texas. I don't have to worry about freezing bricks.

I'm in Dallas . Is this a floating edge? Would it crack in the Texas heat?
Finally, someone using paver base. Well done.

Jeremy Rios This would come out like shit if I did this. At a huge effort and cost. Pass.
I agree it's the "proper" way to do it if it's permanent, but IMO it's overbuilt. It's a garden edge not a patio.
Is it tho🤷♀️
I like the look of the bricklayed side by side, takes more bricks but looks better. thanks
Beautifully executed...!
Every step seems simple and well explained, the only thing I'd change is the height of the bricks. I'd rather have my bricks or stone a little higher than my lawn to make a better contrast and accentuate the mulch or rock in between those plants.
I’m planning on putting mine a bit lower than the lawn level, so I can mow over it without damaging the mower blades
Wish my soil was this good
To figure how many bricks you need, make 3-5 trips to Home Depot.
I’ll do Bunnings🇦🇺🇦🇺
So true!
Check your areas Marketplace. People give them away sometimes just to get rid of them
Home Depot Rules
This also applies for paver base and sand!

It’s not that serious to dig so deep, your not making a footing for a house. 6” is more than enough.

That sand keeps weeds from growing in between the bricks also
MightyJustas those were my exact words lol
Why not just dig the dirt directly onto your garden bed? There are so many unnecessary steps here like using a tarpaulin.

I have the outlines with stones, but now have to make a decision , fill it with stones Sand or Mulch?

Bad advice telling people to squirt water on a circular saw not designed to get wet. I can imagine someone hosing their saw and getting bit by 120!
He didn't advise them to hose it down, so if they do what they're advised to do they'll be safe. At some point people have to own their own stupidity.
You missed the point. Squirting water at any saw that's not rated for it is a mistake. I realize there is a threshold and if you do not hose the motor housing nothing will happen, but the potential is there to either short the windings and or get bit by full line current.
