Just a quick mention: If your 45 degree corners aren’t perfect to your expectations, grind some brick dust and lay a bead of clear caulking along the joint. As the caulk to shrink and set-up you can sprinkle the dust into the joint and it will make your cut appear virtually invisible. Play around with it and you’ll get a nice looking mitre.
Great tips on building the foundation with a trench, gravel and sand. I especially like how you used the 4' level to scrape the top smooth before laying the bricks. Most videos show laying and leveling one brick at a time. I like your method better. And congratulation on the upcoming birth of your daughter.
O M G after searching for freaking weeks I FINALLY found a video that is EXACTLY what I am looking for!!! So my grandfather has a cement patio that was surrounded with a TON of weeds etc. My grandpa had 2 heart attacks and fell and can no longer work on the backyard like he wanted to. Me being a girl lol and someone who has never done landscaping before..I though " screw that! I can do anything " I busted my butt and I removed all of the weeds and other debris..it took me awhile. I finally was able to afford material for the border I wanted to create around the concrete patio. At first I used a weed killer, weed preventive fabric and then placed edging against the cement of the patio. My first thought was to put down the quick dry concrete mix and then lay the bricks...while adding the edging AFTER laying the bricks..to give it a good hold that is shaped and clean..someone came by and told me to put the edging first...which against my better judgment I went and did. Smh. It was really hard and there was a ton of space between the brick and patio. Ultimately I wanted to find a video of a similar situation to make sure I do it right the first time. I now need to remove the edging and relay the concrete. Ugh. Had I found this before I would have been done. I haven't had enough to afford finishing it and wanted it to be perfect so I could surprise my grandfather. I'm wondering how I may get ahold of you to show you a few photos of what I've done? Please let me know! Thanks so much!
Wow! Sorry to hear that you have to do it over but glad you found my video and it helps. Yes please send me a photos on my instagram when its done. @byotools. Thanks for watching and the support Angelina.
So sweet....for grandpa ❤ great story! A great lesson, too...you don't know what you actually CAN do until you try! And, go with your gut! YOU GOT THIS!
I just did this today under the hot florida sun. I definitely did the foot thing leveling the soil. Didnt come out professional looking. But it got done. Also trying to avoid weeds growing into my pavement. Not an easy task. Especially when your not a pro. Lol
Nice video. Using a circular saw (or even a chop saw) with a masonry blade will give you smoother 45 degree angels for those corners. I prefer the chop saw since it cuts in precise angles and I don't have to worry about marking the angles.
Good luck growing grass next to the pavers with the mound of concrete at the back, you never heard of edging restraint ? A quick tip, switch the hose head to fine spray when activating the joint sand otherwise you blow the sand out of the joints 👍
This video should work well for my home project. I will use the idea to create a single path walkway from my front door to the end of my yard. Thanks so much.
Hi Andres. Good question. Because I have an awkward elevation on one side of my walkway I had to use something more substantial. Many people are affrade to use concrete since the brings may not stay adhered over time but I feel if you install the concrete and the brick correctly then the concrete should hold up. every single prick I laid is still there and hasn't moved an inch.
Great video I will be doing something like this soon. Thanks for tips. BYOT a look back on your reply to Andre 2nd last line, last word. Might be very difficult to keep them from expanding or moving lol. Sorry couldn't resist
Thinking of doing a similar strip along my driveway. Do you think it will hold up to the weight of a car? Maybe I'll butter the underside of the bricks with Thinset before setting them in the mud?
@@HeyStripes No, I didn't do it. A brick layer told me that in order for the row of bricks to hold the weight of a car, I'd have to build a "footing" before laying the row of bricks. Basically, without the footing the row of bricks will tumble to the side under the weight of the car. I never looked into how to build a footing. Maybe it's easy to do?
Im planning on taking some pavers..putting them down on the dirt and slopping concrete in the space between my concrete driveway and 6x6 wood border....I should do a video...this is way too much work...but you done good..i should pay you to do mine.
Great stuff any ideas on my natural rockery that I've put together for my flower bed in Swansea UK? Just to keep it intact and solid and in place ? Permasand?
Great to hear Karl and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed. As for your project I've actually took standard red bricks in the past that lined them up vertically around a flower bed. its not as structurally sound as this video but its a cool design and you can get creative with it.
one thing do not use any conrete :D brick walkaway you must lay on sand doh, same for side of walkaway. cement will start to crack after time and you will seecrack on sideway too . And you will need to redone all not one tile. You use sand as you need to fix walkaway you just replace one tile and job done.
Arturas nesakysiu I would agree with the sand comment in most circumstances but I had an odd decline on one of the sides and I needed something much sturdier then sand. Wanted to try concrete out and see if it would last. It’s been over two years now and I have had ZERO issues with the brick separating from the concrete. If I get separation in future I will be posting about it on my Instagram but nothing yet. Thanks for watching.
I was looking for how to repair half a dozen blocks that have come loose from the adhesive below. Is there a tube adhesive or glue alternative that can reattach the pavers to the concrete sub base? Cheers. Nice job by the way.
just doing one 45 degree angle connection is going to really bug you or someone that might be looking to buy your place down the road. What about the concrete that got pushed out the side of the bricks towards the lawn?
the 45 degree cut isn't very noticeable. Also, you can't see the concrete since I brought the soil up to the top of the brick. Check out BYOT #10. Thanks for watching.
All that work for measly single brick line on either end? Guess i should explore other options since i wanted to do this, 1 foot on both the right and left side of my driveway.
It all depends on your outlook. I bake and sing and all this other stuff and one day after my grandpa had his second heart attack I went out in back and did it myself. It isn't difficult at all. It is knowing the tips that make it easy. If I can do it you can too! 😁
Thanks for the video! I have a couple of questions. I've seen edging like this being done with a mixture of paver sand and Portland cement. Do you see any disadvantages of using this mixture vs. a pure concrete mix like you did? Also, do you think adding a plastic edging along the bricks (like you would for a paver walkway) is overkill for this project?
This guy used aggregate in his mix which I would not use as rocks stick out of the mix and mess with bricks level. A mix with no aggregate ans a mix of 6 to 1 is best
@@tonesgaming1012 Thank goodness I saw this!! I was so pissed when I opened the bag of cement. It had tons of rocks in it and as you said it made it really hard to level. That was my biggest issue.
I would have completely cut through the brick with a skill saw and masonry blade... even if I had to turn it over to do the other side. Makes a nice edge.
Hi Yong. You could try it but I wouldn't suggest it. The larger the area, the more likelihood there is that the bricks may come loose overtime. None of the bricks that I laid are loose but using a traditional drainable crushed rock and sand base is what I would suggest for a large paver patio area. Thanks for watching.
Good job!!! I am about to do a walk from my sister's back door to the deck I just built for her would it work if I dug down like 3 inches filled with concrete and lauded brick pavers then fill in cracks with sand concrete mix ???
In that case I would actually suggest using a sand sub straight. The bricks I laid are still in perfect condition but not meant to be the main walkway. If the pavers you are using way pop off the concrete and won't be as nice as a properly laid walkway with a sanded and crushed rock sub straight. Thanks for watching Gregory.
Concrete is way too thick of a material for this size of a gap. The sand I used is specifically for this type of brick gap. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching.
I wanted to try something different on this project since it was more of a detail strip then a brick walkway. All the bricks are still in tack and haven't budged at all. I would suggest using a standard rock base with sand if the entire walkway was brick. Thanks for watching Bill.
I've never used that before but I looked it up and it does seam to be used for driveways and walkways. Just make sure it can be compacted and if so then you should be good. Thanks for watching ATS and hope you enjoyed the video.
It potential could but I would not suggest that. Too much weight, unless you make sure to have at least 4" of concrete under the brick. That might make it possible. Thanks for watching though Craig.
I just ran across something recently that’s referred to as mechanical concrete. It seems like a real simple and inexpensive option for multiple applications. I have a few projects on my list to do around my property that I’m thinking this method would work great for.. a retaining wall to build up and level the grade by the adjacent apartment building fence.. foundation for a back yard deck and storage building... and last but not least my driveway.
The water main. You did not plan something for it? You just left it like that? Why not design the project with it in mind, so the whole thing didn’t end up wrong after all that work?
What are you talking about Michael? The WHOLE sidewalk is designed around this idiotically placed water main. Why do you think my sidewalk isn't just straight? Its in three different sections for a reason unfortunately LOL! Thanks for watching though and hope you enjoyed most of the video.
BYOT I enjoyed the whole video until the end and then I screamed. If I had something like that I would re-design the walkway - I would start by getting rid of that existing walk that was designed by someone who does not love you. The accent brick ending at the water main now serves to accentuate the problem. Break that walkway out and put a bush or something over that Watermain to hide it, and make a beautiful curved walkway surrounded by amazing plants that make the front of your house look beautiful.
You could try it but I wouldn't suggest it. The larger the area, the more likelihood there is that the bricks may come loose overtime. None of the bricks that I laid are loose but using a traditional drainable crushed rock and sand base is what I would suggest for an entire walkway.

Question (unrelated to your channel): I've noticed that you have a speech impediment. Do you get help w it? My son is 13 and has been in speech therepy for years but it hasn't helped him at all. Have you always had a speech impediment? Has anything worked to improve it? Genuinely asking and I hope this doesn't get taken the wrong way. This video is two years old and in your more recent videos, you talk more clearly but it's still there. What's changed?
Nice video! If you would wet the side of the brick that will contact the concrete, and maybe, if you are anal as this engineer, brush on some cement on the brick to ensure it is all the crooks and crannies of the the brick, your bricks “never” break bond and come loose.
Great Tip RH. I've never done that before but I understand why it would work. bricks are in tack and haven't broken free yet so I must have done something right haha. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.

hey, where do I get the black fabric thing-y?What's it called? What's the purpose of it?
You mean the landscape fabric? It's a weed guard to keep the weeds from sprouting through your rock/mulch/garden bed.
Great video but you forgot to show how you finished the lawn side. If you left it as you showed in video grass would never flush up to sidewalk.
I was curious about that too? Chisel off the extra clumps of concrete or are they to hold the bricks inline instead of plastic brick edging?

Layed brick pavers
I'm using 12×12 pavers by the way and only 2 wide
In that case I would actually suggest using a sand sub straight. The bricks I laid are still in perfect condition but not meant to be the main walkway. If the pavers you are using way pop off the concrete and won't be as nice as a properly laid walkway with a sanded and crushed rock sub straight. Thanks for watching Gregory.
