This is the best video online!! Started mine this weekend with my 10year old son. Thanks for the help.
CaptainCanada that’s awesome !!! Good luck and put the little one to work lol
Dad goals, hope you guys have fun!

Deuteronomy, 18:11
10. Let there be no one in the midst of you to cause your son or daughter to pass through the fire; Let no one practice enchantments or consult the stars; That there be no sorcerers or sorcerers;
11. that no one is found who engages in superstitions or consult the spirits; That no fortune-teller or anyone who asks the dead is found.
12. For Yahweh hates those who do all this, and drives them out before you because of these abominations.
Jesus loves you, God loves you
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Get a dog first.
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ruclips.net/user/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Don’t forget that with the polymeric sand you want the paver surface to be dry before applying and then before wetting down the pavers, use a leaf blower to clean off any remaining sand on the surface. The point is to prevent any of it from activating on the paver tops and leaving a haze behind!
Thsnks. Glad i read yr comment! I wont forget the blower.
The sand was the no haze. Look at the bag during the video
@@sleasy01 the bags say that but it still sticks
Great step by step hands on tutorial. Loved how the whole family got involved.. including Thor. 😆. It was educational, entertaining and heart warming. ❤ Thanks so much! Subscribed.
houses4rent8240 thanks so much!!! Your support means the world to us.
can't disagree!! Amazing step by step video
Good view
It's funny to hear folks say that they don't like digging.My dad used to always say,"If you wanna know who your true friends are,hand them a shovel." Wise words.I, myself enjoy digging and find it to be therapeutic. ;)
Hey, I just wanted to say... That your videos are truly inspiring. Your love for your wife, kids and your dog... The pleasure in making all the things... The video editing, the stories, the narration... I really want to have a life similar to yours when I get a little older, you truly inspire me. Thanks for your videos and all the hard work you put on it!
Julius Marques dude thanks so much!!! Just having fun with it. It the most important thing and everything else falls into place.
I too take importance on the things that brings you together. Seeing your wife helping you it’s great but seeing that you also involved your kid it’s the best part. What she will learn from those chores she will have all her life and will help her down the road. So kudos to you. I plan on doing the same thing. My worry is the ground. Last time I did some digging to plant some trees I couldn’t go too far I hit a bedrock. One of my neighbors canceled their in ground pool for the same reason. They couldn’t dig deep enough it was just rock! So thank you for your effort on the video.
I think we can all agree…the bull dog was the star of the show 🐶
Much easier if you build the patio without the border first, put the black border on top and trace it, then cut the circle out with a rented stone saw, then apply the border. Cutting each stone individually is the hard way.
Y'all are a great team so encouraging to watch the progress. You give great info and crack me up in each video. Appreciate your hard work, thank you for sharing.
Love this patio and love the family involvement even more! Nice job !!!!!
Yal are so often!
I have seen others blow off the excess before wetting it down so as not to stain or haze over the tops of the pavers with the last step once you wet it down! Subscribed!
Great instructions! Thank you! We followed your lead and made a 9 feet in diameter circular paver patio and it turned out great. Thank you for your attention to detail. I like to make a stone path that leads from my deck to the patio and also from the outside to the patio
That’s awesome Pretty!!! I love hearing people get something from the videos
Oh man, we love doing circular patio cutting by laying your pattern larger than your circle diameter, then scribe your circle with a paver marker or masonry pencil and cut the pavers on the ground with a continuous circular cut with the grinder. Then drop your soldier course around that perfect circle and lock in with the snap edge. thanks for the video!
I was laid off my job as an electrician recently and I'm interviewing for a landscaping foreman job that's a little bit above my head. So I'm using videos like this to fill in the gaps. Great video thanks!
Man that sucks. I totally get it though and wish you the best of luck. Hope you got something out of it !!
Hubby and I were looking up similar DIY videos and this was by far the best, easiest to follow and entertaining. Thanks so much! Your work is appreciated. Fingers crossed we'll have a successful end result! 🤗
I’m sure you guys will do great!! Good luck
And she didn't break a nail, way to go girl..thx for sharing!
Very welcome
Very genuine interaction between you and the dog. This made my day.
Aww thanks so much. Ya he is I’m a lot of the videos. Just can’t get him to go away lol
I'm mind blown. Everything was amazing 😍
Thanks so much !!
Good Job.
The circle shape was harder than the square shape.
Good art !
It’s a little more work but totally worth the look. Thanks for the support
After 7 years of looking at the spawling concrete weed jungle that was once a sort of attempt at a patio from a previous owner, I just put in a kickass paved patio thanks to your video! Cheers!
That is awesome!!! So happy to hear I was able to help in some way. Thank you again!!
Good Job I am getting ready for my patio going rectangle .Like the round idea
I'm in quarantine so I'm doing this to stop going mental, never built anything in my life but I'm gonna give it a go. Thanks and thanks Ray for the link.
Good luck brother
Cool I learned today that polymetric sand in Europe is called silica :)
This is why I’m watching on quarantine
I'm thinking about doing the same thing lol. I've never done anything like this before so we'll see.
I'm in quarantine these days as well due to being infected, and like yourself, I plan to do a little paving and this seems like a great video to follow.
Great job. You were my inspiration to start my first pavement project. I must’ve watch this video like 2k times 🤦🏽♂️
It looks wonderful... Thank you for sharing. I really liked the fact that you gave the names of all the materials you used. This detail is very important for beginners like me that have no clue of the materials needed for this project. Thank You!! 👍👍👍😊
Thor is amazing. Such a beautiful dog. Thank you for sharing this video. Top class indeed. Loved every minute of it. Hugs for Thor.
Thanks so much David !! He will get extra special hugs today
This looks great! Thank for being so thorough with the explanation and details.😀
Your very welcome Juanita
Great ‘how to’...enjoyed all the detail, and watching you work. Can’t do it myself, but now I know what I want. Great job!
I’m sure you can. Just takes some stubbornness
@@KomarProject how big did you make your patio?
Perfect video! Great step by step instructions with a nice balance of humor by including normal life interruptions with family pet. Also, showing family involvement gives wholesome vibe to the video as well. Great job on your project and composing this video!
Thanks so much !!!
You and your family really did a fantastic job! What a motivator you are Thanks for making it look doable! Exactly what I've been looking for. The circle can go anywhere in the yard and it looks like it belongs there, You are one hard working son of gun!
Thanks so much Tracey. Love hearing stuff like that! You made my day
Great job especially when I see the whole family join in to help, and especially the furry one.
Thank you so much!! It’s really the best past of the day for me
I enjoyed watching your video and learning. I have a small project that I’m gonna use your video as my guide. You made it very simple to understand, and very entertaining at the same time bro. Thanks.
Pearce Toney thanks so much Pearce. Hope it helps
👏👏👏Great Job!
Love the video, and love the family working together!!! Stay Blessed!
That was great project especially with family I love that bulldog 🙃
Haha ya he is my little big buddy.
❤️ Great job you made it look so easy!🤗 wish I can do that myself too!
I’m sure you can
Love the end with teying to take a picture of the dog. Nice job on the patio love getting tje kiddos out to help with yard projects.
Thanks David !! Ya he is always up for pictures but that day he just was being too bulldogiee lol
I love the way you executed this project, a job done right and done once👍🏼
Thanks so much !!
Fantastic video!
Also please look up "tamper" vs. "tamp"
You did a good job the one thing I would have done differently would have been to put down the poly when it is completely dry. The water mixed with the poly stains the bricks and is not as clean looking.
Thats what I was thinking. But he used white bricks. I compared before and after sand pictures, it didnt seem like too much staining. Maybe its only noticeable with red bricks
I was cringing so hard watching that... NEVER put polymeric sand on wet stone, that's how the sand becomes activated and hardens!! Ahhhhh
@@flightsimusman YEA, make sure it's dry and use a leaf blower to remove any sand on top before watering
Great tutorial, thanks for the step by step instructions. Me and my husband are going to attempt to get a similar project like this done during quarantine. Thor is so adorable!
Thanks so much Florence!!! And Thor thanks you too lol
I was contemplating putting in a paver porch in my front yard, and you gave me some really good ideas on what i can do! Thanks,and great video!
Awesome. Glad it helped
Just started the digging process today and instantly regretted starting it , but I’m half way done digging so far
Ya it’s hard work. But don’t give up and just go for it
The last part was so funny 😂
Lol
Thanks for the well done DIY project video! I'm planning on doing ours and watching your similar size project is nice encouragement and reassuring to get mine started. Seeing Honey Bunny help was an added bonus!
Ya she is a huge help every time she comes out to play lol
This is absolutely beautiful! You inspire me to do our driveway apron. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Awesome. Go get it done ✅
Man I'm looking for a way to extend my little patio myself, but this is a lot of work & I don't have a helper! It looks awesome.
There are lots of helpers in helpers that need homes lol. And ya jeniffer it is a lot of work. Just one step at a time
Hello can I help you? If yes then you can contact me on my gmail account
alimoby668@gmail.com
Jennifer, I extending my little patio by 100 sf by myself, with flagstone. I moved the flagstone to the site (one heavy piece at a time) and had the gravel and paver base delivered in bags to make easier (no shoveling to move it to backyard). I'm doin' it myself, so you can too. It's a lot of work but gratifying! can't wait to finish my project this weekend.
@@elvis3810 thanks but how can I come to you help you
I hear yah . me too.
OMGosh! I love this video so much! Entertaining and actually made me feel like could do this! AWESOME!!!
Totally can!! Just some time and labor. You can do anything Melissa
Never heard of checking level with a piece of bowed conduit but hey!! Ya learn something new every day😂!
Looks great. I've always been amazed how the old timers made cobble stone roads with radius patterns and random size cobblestones.
I totally agree. They were some masters back in the day
Great work man! Can't wait to see what Thor forces you to make next :D
Charles hahaha it’s cuz of him I’m building the deck
really good video , makes me feel like trying it myself!!!
Go for it. A little sweat and you got it
Wow love it I like the idea of the sand cement to pour then just brush and wet it
Piece of cake.
True, nothing better than family. Awesome job.
Thanks so much
Glad I watched this before starting. Decided to hire someone instead! :-)
Haha haha good idea lol. It’s a lot of labor. Totally achievable but take some sweat to get it done.
Haha haha good idea lol. It’s a lot of labor. Totally achievable but take some sweat to get it done.
I great job. Doing my circle patio this spring. Would like to get clarity on how you measured the edges to cut with the diamond blade.
I payed them out and used a string and pencil. Then I could cut each paver individually
Great work. Straightforward manual work. No fancy expensive machines, same result. Easily replicable. Thanks for posting.
Your very welcome.
great job on the patio. I am WFH these days and want to build something similar. thanks for sharing
No problem. Glad we gave you some inspiration. Good luck
That patio wasn't wet when you put on the polysand?!
Bloopers were sooo cute... Thor is a superstar!
I’ve been watching a lot of these as I start my first patio. This is by far the best A-Z video I’ve seen to date. Nice job and thanks!
You are very welcome. And thank you
1 thing I will add for those using the polymeric sand- Be careful that there's no moisture on the blocks when putting the sand out. Also, it's very important to only lightly mist the patio to activate the polymeric. Any excess water on the surface will leave polymeric residue that is a nightmare to clean off.
tigertailbell1 very good point. Thanks for the comment.
The residue is some glazing, right? This will wear off in a few weeks. No worries
Did not mean to, but stayed throughout whole video. You are funny pal.
Lol thanks so much
Beautiful, I like how you made this a family project
Ya I try to incorporate work with family as much as I can. Keeps us going
Fuzzy-smumbally kitten and I did the same project a while back but instead of "tampering" we just did regular "tamping"... still turned out great!
Lmao yup it’s tamping lol
Dude hahah great narrative haha. I’m planning to do this myself as well.
Thanks so much!!! Good luck with your install
I'm icpi certified and this is actually pretty accurate though I would use containment fabric (geotextile) so the fines don't wash out of your base over the years, a machine tamper because your not going to get it compacted enough with just a hand tamp, and then overlay your pavers draw a circle and cut them all at once with a cut off saw. Also the washed concrete sand should be applied with screed poles just like he did to get a consistent depth, it's not just for leveling you're meant to tamp the pavers into it pushing the sand up between the cracks and then the poly sand is swept in the top of the cracks making the pavers interlocking. If you rent a plate tamper you can get a pad for the bottom when you tamp pavers down or just use a piece of plywood as not to scuff the surface. You're also going to want to build a wood fire pizza oven next to that nice patio 👌.
The detail you gave was GREAT!! Thank you! I've always wanted to do one of these, wow! What a lot of work! GREAT JOB!! :)
Thanks so much Jennifer
Not only do I enjoy seeing the project I enjoy seeing what dogs are doing during the work. It’s hilarious!
Lol ohh Thor does nothing, absolutely nothing. You should see what he did in the deck video I just realized
I really want to see how to do the measurements for cutting the pavers - slow- motion. Thank you. Excellent video.
One of the most important question is how much did it cost?
Also don't look like you changed your lawn irrigation pattern, so does the sprinklers wet your fire pit and chairs?
Looks good!
It was about 1k for materials. And we don’t have a sprinkler system
Awesome. Beautiful patio and family
Thanks Ray, great vid - fun and informative !
This is amazing. I like it. Definitely gonna sub to your channel. Finally, RUclips algorithm suggested something good.
Fabi hahaha that dame algorithm gets me every time. Hope you get a chance to check out some other videos. Thanks for the support
Hello my friend. nice work. Floor leveling was great. Your wife kicked you nice, because you gave up too much dust. :-) Gorgeous team work with the family. great work. congratulations. You can also make a wooden camellia here. Thank you for sharing.... 1. like :-)
Şahane bilgiler thank you so much. Ya Huney Bunny didn’t like the dust lol
Thx for the video, looks great! I just have to poke a little fun at the "tampering" though as you were tamping it down.
Hahaha everyone seams to hate my tampering lol
I’d been watching a lot of videos to make over my backyard. Finally I got you! It’s the best video ever. Thank you.
You are very welcome Sophie! Lots more coming to all the other stuff
Very good video! Thank you! I'm guessing that the total materials cost is much more than poured, colored concrete. BTW, "Tampering" is interfering with (something) in order to cause damage or make unauthorized alterations, which you didn't. "Tamping" is ramming or packing (a substance) down or into something firmly, which is what you did.
The materials were just a little over 1k. Not sure about what stamped concrete prices range.
You forgot to run a plate compactor over the pavers before you put down the polymeric sand. This causes the base sand bed material to lock in the pavers before the poly sand is applied. Also the poly sand should not be applied unless it's 100% dry.
Thank you for this video. I have some landscaping/patio projects coming up and this was very helpful.
Awesome. Glad you got something out of it Shane!!
I love Thor he made me laugh how he was laying like a family dog that passed on years ago. Great job on the patio (Thor’s resting pad)
Quindara King hahaha he does that all the time. Get in the way I mean
Looks great. Did you consider cutting every other paver on the soldier course to eliminate gaps? I’m about to install a curved patio with a sailor course and I’m wondering how many I may have to cut 😫
You can try I just cut as needed
instead of cutting them individually mark your outside line and lay pavers just past the line. mark your line again onto the pavers and make one continuous cut along the outside
My husband used these plans from woodprix and he's very satisfied. However. I love Yours !
Thanks so much Christ.
@@KomarProject I'm glad you love it Komar !
Best plans to me Christ!
It looks great you made it look so easy. I just had someone take the lawn out for an 11’ diameter circular patio. Going to use used brick Thank you you for the video
That’s going to look rally cool. I love the old common brick
Best video I have watched, not only did it tell me everything I needed to know, I loved the humor! Dog was cool too.
Thanks Jim glad I could help. Good luck on your project.
should of blew off the excess polymeric sand on top of the pavers with a leaf blower, then watered. if not it makes the pavers look more hazy after it drys.
I’m sure the answer to my question is buried somewhere in the 1.4K comments... How much did you spend on your project? We are trying to get an Idea for budgeting purposes! Great Video! 👍💪🏼
Spent just a little over 1k on the materials
Just to have a drink and admiring the scenery ;-). Thumbs up ;-)
Excellent video, very informative. The dog is HILARIOUS!😂
You need a string line with a line level on it or a transit. I could see that conduit bending from here.
For larger patios, IE 20' by 20' what is the best method of leveling the gravel? We have a MASSIVE amount of various grades in our yard so some spots are MUCH deeper than others- will this effect how the pavers settle?
Can you make sure you get that ground level and compacted before you put gravel down
@@hsangha01ify I have already laid the gravel, we tried our best to get the ground level but we only eyeballed it, and then when it rained we saw all the low spots
Taylor Huson take my advice, put your pavers on concrete, saves time and money, this is they way of the novice, dead wrong, unless you like readjusting shifting pavers every year. Outside edge is glued down.
Hi from the UK - great video, very clear, good pace and decent humour!
great video ! cheers !
funny and informational.
i hear with with little helpers. My 6 yo is always around and i love it! Built our shed together and i know he'll remember this forever.
That’s awesome man!!!! I still remember the first thing I build with my father. A wall in the basement lol. But still have that memory
If you’ve never done this type of work before and think this guy is great:
1) There’s no scenario where you don’t rent a compactor here. The patio is way too big to be properly compacted with a hand tamper.
2) Don’t go side to side while screeding as it unnecessarily digs into your base (you see it happening in the video).
3) I have no idea why you wouldn’t rent a concrete saw instead. There’s literally zero reason to
flip your cuts over to finish them.
4) You want a dry patio while using polymeric sand. It says this on every bag of sand. Again, no idea why.
5) Generic other things: edging goes in after the patio is laid, click the brick in before laying it, dig to depth rather than double digging etc etc etc.
Summary: this guy seems cool and nice. This seems like a great family project. If you’re going to spend this amount of time and money doing your own patio, do things properly because you’ll kick yourself in the ass as time goes on.
Do you have a video example of installing a patio using the items you suggested above?
summary: hands down this guy has done a great job and your tips don't mean he didn't do it properly. when you wanna call it a home project or a DIY project, you won't pack your yard with rented machinery which is a contractor thing who want to finish the job in the shortest possible time not a homeowner who tryna save some money.
It’s almost like you didn’t read my comment.
1) the equipment I said to rent (compactor, saw) take up about the size of a lawnmower. Pretty sure you’ll squeeze it in.
2) they’d cost, at most, $100 to rent for a few days which is literally nothing compared to the money you’d spend on brick and materials.
3) They’d make the job way easier, and save a ton of time
4) most importantly, using them would make your patio last WAY longer without shifting and splitting. If you’re going to spend money, make it last.
No I don’t make RUclips videos. Sorry I’m trying to save people from doing a terrible job so they don’t waste their money.
6" it's a lot but it will be pretty steady (:
Ya. We are on fresh ground so figured to safe then sorry
6” is the minimum base you want. 1” of bedding material at max. 2% slope aka 1/4 per foot. If you are doing the compacting by hand, needs to be done in 1” lifts. If you rent a 3,300lb centrifugal force plate compactor you can do it in 2-3” lifts. Obviously homeowners won’t go rent a big boy plate compactor but a 12k centrifugal force plate compactor (weighs around 900-1,100lbs) can do a 10” lift properly.
I’m putting in a big patio and using the paver pads. Saves a ton of digging and no need for base
Thank you very much. My first time doing my patio myself. Excellent pointers. Thank you!
Your very welcome. Good luck
Great video man! Just be careful cutting those pavers without a mask on. That silica dust is no joke and can cause serious health issues over the long haul.
KyleForAwhile thanks so much!!!! Mask for sure next time
I do have a question. Does it matter how level your ground is before you throw the driveway rocks in?
Not really. Just as long as you start leveling out with the gravel. So when you get to the sand you are right where you want to me with pitch and evenness
You make me fly. I will do my patio with confidence. THANKS!
Awesome !!! Good luck !
It looks awesome, cant wait to get started on ours. Its all about family quality time.
Sure is. Good luck with your project !!
