Great video! Hopefully, I can tackle my small walkway now.
Thank you! Best of luck with your project.
This video was very helpful. After a lot of prep, I installed my walkway today. It looks great!
Thank you! That’s great to hear! We love helping people learn and improve their outdoor spaces
Wow, great video! Very educational, very informative! Almost makes me feel I can do it myself, but also see why it can cost so much to have it done.
Thank you, Amanda. We are always open to suggestions for more ideas for videos!
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Best tutorial I've seen yet. I have a small garden and will need to make a lot of cuts to bevel the soldier course. Should I just do this by eye and fill the gaps after with sand?
It all depends on the look that you want. Most people will never notice the gaps if the pavers are small ones (less than 6" long). You can also cut every other one to reduce the number of cuts. At the end of the day, it is all up to you how clean you want the edge to look. If you want it to be really tidy, or if you are using large pavers, cutting every one is the best bet. If you don't mind some gaps here and there, then just roll with it. Either way, I'm sure you'll love how it turns out.
Oh my goodness! THANK YOU for this excellent video.
Given that I work in theatrical construction, and am not afraid of complex projects, how insane would it be to make a herringbone path with salvaged bricks? I figure that I could try to trim them to (somewhat) uniform dimensions.
Also, where does one buy the tools you’ve shown? The paving nudger and the edging, in particular? I think I know where to rent the machine for tamping down the substrate.
You can definitely use salvaged bricks. You just have to lay them loosely to prevent getting yourself into a literal jam. Just lay them and let them kind of run wild while at the same time using a stringline to keep your rows somewhat straight. It can look really cool. The paver tools that we're using mainly come from our friends over at Probst. The adjuster is here: www.pavetech.com/paveradjuster
The edging that we're using here is Snap-Edge from SEK (sek.us.com/products/sek-paver-restraints/snap-edge/). However, for your application with uneven bricks, I would actually recommend using some sort of reinforced concrete edge restraint. We really like PermaEdge (www.permapaveredging.com/), but there's several other similar things on the market.
@@WesternInterlock Thank you so much!
You are welcome!
whats your opinion on the pros & cons of square vs round screeding rails?
We prefer square. The main thing is that they need to be 1" outside diameter and rigid enough to bridge minor imperfections in the gravel base. PVC of any shape simply isn't strong enough to do this. What ends up happening is that the PVC flexes and telegraphs those imperfections into the sand and then into the pavers themselves.
Do you use standard 1” box tube steel for your screeding rails?
I would recommend low profile edgeing
How is cutting curves with the IQ saw?
It is not the best tool for cutting curves, but it can be done. We recommend the hot saw for that.
@@WesternInterlock thanks. I'm not familiar with the term hot saw. Is that a regular cut-off saw?
Sorry about that! It's the gas-powered saw in the video.
