About the concrete edge restraint..
Can't you just line the "curb" with a foot of mulch, the mulch would act as a devider so the grass doesn't burn
After watching this video as long as pricing was fair I would hire this company to do my paver work with no hesitation any day of the week. I wish the majority of contractors would put this type of video together to represent their work. It would make selecting a contractor so much easier.
A lot of contractors are using Instagram to post their work. It’s great if they post work on social media so we can see it.
Correction, it would make it so much easier to pick out the trustworthy from the untrustworthy. And a lot of contractors don't want that lol
the pricing is not going to be fair. You would be paying double for this company.
Plus the jobsite (your back yard) isn't trashed with garbage from the workers leftover pallets they keep a nice site for the customer 👍
If you get the result you wanted, the price was fair.
I love this content. I have been doing paving stone for 22 years and am a professional in it. I also adhere to quality, logical craftsmanship idealogies. It is present within you guys. I love that yall keep the work clean, to me that is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle. Great work. Great video again guys.
I am amazed how the real good ones make the end project look so good. I was transfixed sometimes watching masons build walls.
excellent work. I spent 12 years installing pavers and retaining walls in Roanoke, VA. And I see your videos and I remember all the work done in a recidencial and shopping center.
I absolutely love the format of this video. Showing the team doing the work but then having you comment on they what and why of things is super helpful. I look forward to watching many more videos.
Never too much info..thank you for sharing this and all you do!
I am a fan by the way, you give or transimt that feeling of of inspiration, i get pumped up with so much energy and confidence to go do my projects after seeing your videos. Thanks brother i really appreciate the time and effort you put in to this videos, you make our life so easy, especially for beginners, God bless you.
looks good ! I love seeing others crews and how things are similar and things are different. We lay our inlay and solders(border) at the same time. We also call them solders!! Thats awesome!
that job looks great! Thanks for sharing all that experience and putting up that kick-ass job!
Never seen these two guys work! But F**KING great info. I’m green as green can be and love the info that he explained. Where he showed to cut to the stairs you said “little slow” wasn’t slow enough for me lol. Great way to do it and it’s the small things I get hung up on. And love the vice over while there working. Thanks!
Great informative video and what a skilled team doing the job.
From England, UK.
Damn man your awesome and not selfish at all. I started my small landscaping business this year and hope one day I can do this type of work.
Great guys doing great work!! I enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. But what i enjoy most is the common sense the guys exercise while working.
Thanks - Great vid. I'm going to do my 1st small paver project coming up and you've taught me a lot. Anyone having a paver job done by a contractor should watch your vids just to know what questions to ask.
I have a small landscape company in Toronto Canada love watching your channel stared watching your snow videos thanks for all the tips been in business for 6 years was a supervisor at a big company for years before opening my own thing love your channel
I have been a carpenter for 30 years so I really enjoy watching and learning from you and your guys and don't worry about explaining things to long because it's all in those little details that makes the difference from a great job to a just ok i got throw it job so keep doing what you do and God bless you and your family and workers sir u got a great crew
Awesome, thank you!
Great work, it's easy to see you care about what you do and the finished product.
You made great video with awesome comments and explanations. Thank you!
Looks great guys. i ALWAYS learn a thing when i watch
A guy who comes down to work on a Saturday .. just because he feels like it. 😀
If you have a worker like that, he's probably a keeper!
Haha agreed 👍
@@Dirtmonkey
You could get him a T-shirt that says "I worked on a Saturday, and I liked it!" 😄
That back yard looks awesome good skillful workers you got there great job 👍
Been watching you for 5 years. I love seeing how guys work on the other side of the country and you specifically have change some of the things I do here now. After watching this one I’m switching from polymeric to regular. Rock on can’t wait for the snow videos!!
Snow vids are on the way- we got 8" of wet snow last week and then boom-now its record breaking heat in the 70's!
It is a pleasure watching your crew coupled with your narration is awesome. Job looking great!
Glad you enjoyed it
"Screeto-Matic"! LOL...absolutely classic! Great video.
Amazing work. You guys are true professionals. I am currently doing my own patio and I can tell you it is a huge amount of work and MUCH more difficult than you guys make it look! Keep it up!
Loved watching both these videos! Very informative 👍 nice job on the project.
Awesome, thank you!
Enjoy the videos. You put in the work and it shows.
Beautiful work, experience really shows with these bigger jobs.
Thanks for leaving in the part on how he measures up the pavers that was good to watch!
You bet!
Watching this makes my back & knees hurt! Wonderful job!!!
Beautiful! I've done this work for many years. My way is a bit different due to preference and climate.
Real pros. I have learned much from you 'Dirt Monkey'!
A pat on the back goes a long way... well deserved❣️
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
To much work for this one. Totally awesome job! Turned out so nice. Happy for you's. Definitely should be proud of that work!
Stan, your right on the money with that last comment about praising yourself. Everyone has a trait they excel in, whatever it be, make sure you tell yourself "Good Job!"
Great craftsmanship throughout and a great team Stanley.
Thanks maria!
Wow, what a huge job. It turned out fantastic!
Thanks a bunch!
Spikes are the best by the time the spike rots away the soil has compacted and grass roots have taken ahold and will hold the edging/pavers together just fine.
I loved watching this paving series...looks so good...
Love to hear it 👍 thanks tracy!
You do great work it’s amazing I live in ny right outside the city for my final screen we use stonedust and we screeded it tamp it after level we can walk on it but try not 2 we use polymeric and use must charge good money it adds up money 💰 wise then we use the plastic with spikes I learned years ago not to use concrete I feel your above the frost line and it cracks.We cut with 2 stihl ts400 demo saw 14 inch diamond blade I want to let you know I watch everyone of your videos and you do great work I tell my friends I would love to go out one night with you for a good time well be safe keep the videos coming and you do fantastic work thx Dan
Looks nice. Signing the last brick like an artist. Nice job.
Thats Sam touch- he likes doing that
It looks amazing, goes great with the raised patio they built. I completely agree on sand and edge supports. I want the plants to grow right up to the edge, and I want those deep stakes grabbing the soil as they rust. They get more secure over time, but still keep better flexibility than concrete.
I totally agree!
One mountain ⛰ of work!! Well done 👍. Thanks.
Many thanks!
Lots of educational content as always. Great video.
You guys do beautiful work and take pride in your work..i love seeing this...Godbless 👍👍👍
Thank you so very much for your most helpful and great information! So much appreciated!!!
I’m in the process of doing my backyard here in Georgia and I absolutely love how you are describing so many great ideas like the sand for one and the 2x4 care. Really a great video and thank you for all the details.
At my old work we always used aluminium screeds for large areas, and for the small areas they had cut large aluminium screeds in smaller screeds.
The person that learned me everything swore by aluminium screeds.
If you use it right and properly it stays a lifetime.
So it's a one way cost.
thank you for your videos stan. this is my first year w my business and your videos have really helped out!
Great to hear!
Great video, love the finished product, keep up the good work!
Thanks a bunch!
This video helped immensely like you said thank you so much. Cant wait for the snow content
Glad to hear it!
BEAUTIFUL JOB. NICE DECORATION.
I run my 2x4s on the table saw, nice strong scret edge !
Nice work! Signature is very cool!
I’ve payed pavers for 20 years. And I never see company’s on uou tube cut the outside with a skill saw. That’s how I do it and it saves a ton of time and the cuts match up perfectly good job
Aluminum screed bars are all we use for large areas 2x4 still works great for tight spots.
Good to know!
Yup. One time cost that lasts a long time. Totally worth it.
Big screeds we use aluminum bars and for shorter stuff a cheap 6 or 8 foot level does an excellent job
@@Dirtmonkeyfirst of all big fan of your videos and work you do... I've heard you say you like your fords but since you've owned your dodge 2500 reg cab would you say its not quite AS good, right there with or a little better than your ford pick ups?
@@Dirtmonkey
Aluminum screed bars don't warp in the sun either.
Milwaukee even made some concrete spirit level with a magnesium screed bar on them.
They put up an advertising video of them : ruclips.net/video/n56Ebd-EPZw/видео.html
Maybe try one out for indoor works, like showers where you have to have a fast drain ?
Shop around of course, I doubt Milwaukee are the only ones that make stuff like that.
I deliver flowers for one of my two jobs, and I deliver to some very expensive homes, even mansions. I've seen many of paver walks over the years. I would have to say, the work that you guys do, blows everyone else away! Best work I've seen yet! You could start a company! HAHAHA! Just kidding! You guys are great!
That is awesome!
Master-class explanation and workmanship.
Thanks Stan, I have a different paver process but they did a great job, smooth and nice curves.
Right on
That is one hell of a walkway. Very nice
Great job! I agree with your opinion on the polymeric sand, not my choice either, seems like it tends to grow mold more as well. You guys do great work with pavers ! Good video!
Totally agree!
That is amazing!! Great video!
Love the channel and all the work that you do
Awesome! Thank you!
good job guys,looking great
Awesome Video Stan. Thank you for responding the other day. It was an honor. Keep up the good work
Any time! & thanks again for following along on these vids!
Great work. Good commentary. Fun to watch.
Thanks for the visit
Something about watching Sam and Blaine doing this work is satisfying.
Cool!
Looks awesome, great job guys.
Thanks so much!
Awesome series. I learned a lot.
Sweet! Like The Revenant theme during the last minute too.
love the channel and all the work you do man massive fan of you
Much appreciated and thanks for watching.
looking mighty good. good job guys!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work, I did 4" concrete slab with tile pavers in thinset.
Beautiful work man!! Looks expensive but worth it I'm sure. Thanks.
Now that's some nice work....Nice to have excellent employees.
Thanks Joe!
I remember when my dad and his friend did our walk way in pavers I helped to but I mostly watched
Love the idea of using the edge restraint to mark your we always use tent poles
1/2 inch pvc works well
Awesome video. Really stands out super interesting and informative
Much appreciated!
That's a beautiful job.
Thanks Donald 😊
Damn you guy's did a great job
Keep up the hard work and quality work and thanks for the content looking good stay safe and take care
Thanks, you too!
@@Dirtmonkey No problem and thank you
Love your videos Stan - longtime follower, though I am a landscape foreman and have used many edge restraints including plastic and aluminum. If you do the concrete one properly on the right sloap with enough cement (which we do) - grass grows perfectly fine and the concrete floats with the patio. the issue with the edge restraint is the galvanized spikes will pop up even if you use 12" spikes. (Canada's heave thaw is nasty)
Concrete is the only way. The plastic is literal garbage, and it moves even if you spike every hole.
Love the detail in your video, keep it up bro!
Appreciate that! Will do 👍
Tons of vids on pavers. This way is LEGIT!!
Thanks for that tip about cutting the pavers in corners. Thankyou
Happy to help!
beautiful! my dream is to be like you guys!Lol! good job.
amazing work guys!
👍 right on, fantastic explanation.
Amazing work. thanks for sharing
Amazing job!
In my personal experience and research the key to a long lasting interlock job is a good well packed base thickness depending on your climate. I use Granular A which is crushed gravel mixed with sand which helps everything lock in togethor. For a bedding concrete (fine) sand which they are using in this video gives you a nice mouldable layer to lay your pavers no thicker than 1". People are also using HPB(High performance bedding) which is basically pea gravel which has good drainage properties and holds a bed. If its for a driveway look into some kind of geotextile mesh (geogrid) type material which acts as a buffer between your base and the soil beneath it to help reduce the instance of tire dips or you can pour a rough concrete underneath strengthened with a rebar grid.
This is awesome I need something like this. I just got nothing but landscape rock.
Gorgeous work....but I was really hoping to see that Skilsaw in action!
I agree
O yeah
Looks great!
Real nice. I sure wish I would have watched this before I did my job.
Looks fab great workmanship.
Thanks 👍
Nice job Sam & Blaine!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love how he signed the bottom of the paver!! I always put 1 paver in upside down, somewhere hard to notice
New subscriber here, very informative video,greetings from Illinois
I really hope the material shortages aren’t affecting you guys as much. Too many good workers like this are finding other professions … a lot of wasted potential. These guys did a great job.
