  • We are here to lay the concrete pavers and build some concrete block steps and landings to add onto the backyard patio we built previously for these customers. It was a great add on to the project in the back and tied everything off nicely. Enjoy the video!

    - The pavers used on this project are made by (Genest). The main pavers are called (Grand Katahdin) and the color tone is called (Meadow). The border pavers are called (Eastern Bay) with a color tone called (Charcoal).
    - The wall blocks and caps are made by (Techo-Bloc). The wall block is called (Semma) with a color tone called (Champlain Grey). The wall cap is called (Architectural Cap) with a color tone called (Onxy Black)

      Beautiful job, well done. Wondering about compacting and using paver sand over stone base. Not questioning your method , just looking for your take on it.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Год назад +2

      @@michaelszczoczarz5776 Thank you! So if you use Open Grade base like I have here, You can't use sand for bedding material because it will migrate into the clean stone base, causing the pavers to sink... That's why I use the 3/8" clean crushed stone for bedding material, that does not migrate into the base stone.
      Here is a video I made which explains the base prep method I use in a lot more detail 👉ruclips.net/video/ChaJe3JqD6I/видео.html

    Best paver video I’ve ever seen! Watched this video 7 times focusing on different areas and it makes sense now how things are done. Your dictation of every part of the job is excellent to get an understanding, such as why you use certain materials. Like the way you chisel off the caps on the steps to give a rough look. I have to do a small 9x8 paver patio so this helps tremendously.

    Great work. It looks amazing. This is almost exactly like what I’m about to do at my house but I’m using smooth face pavers with textured face edge accent pavers. For the treads I’m using cmu blocks and I’m going to put veneer on the face to match the veneer I have on the house. Manufactured stone veneer.

    Great job on those steps - you guys bust your butts getting those old slabs out - and used some serious to 3:05 doing so. Your nephew was a good young helper!

      Those old steps were definitely not easy to get out. My nephew was a great help on this job.✌
