ended up looking good thank you very much I really like the pipes trick cool men I have a schedule to fix a walkway that sink on a section 1st time doing it so we’ll see
You could of edit your film and made yourself look like no mistakes, but you were honest and showed that you were human and you forgot your certain diamond blade and went home for supplies. Thank- you for being honest and human and for helping others like me to learn from all the tips you shared from your experience. Beautiful job on the paver sidewalk. I only wish I could spring up and down off the ground as you did. Good luck, and try not being so hard on yourself. Sincerely yours, Judy Bilyeu from Ohio
I use checklists to remember to get things, you can make a list on your phone and just run thru it before you leave your office/garage? Might help , I totally get your frustration . I have often left things behind that were crucial to my tasks, so the checklist helps, (when I remember to look, lol!) Thanks for sharing your project!
This looks great. Any idea of what its called? I tried with block paving mixed sized but cant find it in the uk... Only in indian stone, but that's slates, thin and large, about 2,5 cm I think, these are way better.
Thank you for this video. I have never layed pavers but I have seen other videos in which they used gravel and compacted the base before installation. Can you share why you chose not to do that on this job?
Gravel is also a suitable base for pavers. I use gravel for retaining wall base. There are multiple options for base materials it depends on availability in your area
How did you finish the space between the blacktop and the paver walkway? I’m thinking about attempting something similar but I can’t figure out how to beat join to the pavement. There is like a 45 degree taper to the edge of the asphalt.
I use that for patios and walks that I am not following contour of existing ground. As a matter of fact my last video on the patio with firepit I used it.
Best to avoid 4 way joints in your pavers. Looks better and more professional to never have corners touching. Takes a minute to get it hammered into your head but once you do you'll never have another 4 way ever again.
It’s called “the planning fallacy “ it’s an actual scientific phenomena. Things always take longer than you plan for. When you’re estimating a job you will imagine it being completed in a perfect world. there’s always going be a detail or condition that you didn’t plan for.
I explained in the video. I have pictures of walkways I did over 20 years ago exactly the same way that look exactly as the day I put them in but just a little faded. Care to take the time to explain how it will fail? I will update it year after year on video if you want to bookmark my channel. I will prove it lasts. If you took the time to listen to the video and not just fast forward through and try and find flaws I would use a better tone when answering your comment. There are times I use a compactor over top and have for many years, but I have also not used one for many years letting them naturally settle. I also use edging on lots of jobs but not this one, the lay of the land with the grass and the height of the bed holds the pavers just fine. I have also pulled up many walkways with edging that failed as the spikes rot out after about 4 years and the plastic just flexes anyhow. I still use it when I have virgin ground on any sides of a job. I have installed hundreds if not a thousand paver jobs over the years. I know what works. I will be interested in your explanation of what is making it fail. You think the tiny 1/4" of settling into the bedding sand not done immediately by compactor is going to make it fail? Or you think the pavers are going to spread and push into the hard ground on either side to the point where crappy spiked in edging is going to prevent that? No... You do not need to use edging on every job.
Ive read that you also want to avoid a 4 way intersection. I'm getting ready to put down my first walkway. I ended up finding some online "graph paper" and had drawn out the pattern I want, using the pavers available PER LAYER. You want to avoid getting ahead of the quantities per layer. I was able to come up with a random pattern that had no channels across, no 4 way lines, and minimal channels lengthwise. Should be no surprises and straightforward.
Yes sir! Not on all my walks and patios but I have done many that way over the last 15 years and not one issue with any of them. Looks no different than ones I compacted then poly.... they only compact 1/4” at most.... they also settle all the same... the poly is flexible... it stays bonded and tight and the entire walk settles naturally.... it does get a little compacted into the bedding sand when I lay them and rubber mallet/ walk on it etc.... it’s not that critical on a small walk that is following existing grade of the lawn and tumbled pavers.... it just doesn’t make a difference in the end. Compact yours if you want. Can’t hurt unless you crack pavers.... on more critical grade projects like patios and walks with precise runoff grades i compact after they are laid.
@@KenMrKLC benefit of compacting 1:When you do the final compaction, the loose sand will be forced up between the pavers and this will set and secure them. 2:The loose sand will also allow the tamping process to even out the top surface of the pavers. your rubber mallets doesnt insure equal hits on each pavers where u walk usualy will probably settle not evey where rubber pad should always be used when tamping stones been doing it for 27 years perfect for the purpose
WE price them out from about $18-$22 per square foot materials and labor. If its real small it can cost more per square foot. But average walks and patios are about those prices
WoW we could barely hear you and then when the music comes on it's really really really loud. I'm convinced no one watches and listens to their own videos before they upload them but thanks for sharing.
KLC LAWN & LANDSCAPING yes but it’s no different than movies or tv shows these days! You have to crank up the volume to hear the speaking then all of a sudden WhaM! Get blasted with music. Just as bad is why do so many shows think they need background music on a narrative type show? It’s not needed! Trust me. And of you do think it’s needed to prevent boredom tone it down! Cheers🍻🇨🇦🇺🇸🥂👍 enjoyed your video.
You simplified the idea for me but I know it is hard work. Those stones are so heavy and cutting them is something I don’t want to attempt. I’ve got no experience and working with a guy who has no paver experience and fuck ups were made. Not something I want to live with so I’m going to tear it out and do it right. Your phone must have got covered with dust there for a minute.
One of the most thorough RUclips DIY videos I’ve ever seen! I liked, I subscribed. But more importantly I learned!
Good to know, expect delays and a few trips to the box stores and even back to home base! Great job!

Nice to share this video tnx new friend from james live
Great job and enjoyed how go laid out the pattern too
Great job looks real good.
Delays suck I make multiple trips due to my forgetful brain . Best funniest part of this video . Great job !!
I like the way they edged out that tree at 31:51. That horseshoe design is slick
Absolute professional!!.....great tutorial and off I go to Home depot!

Hey man.... Thanks..... Even though you drive Dodges I will still count your comment
10 bucks for the 1/3 yard! Sure beats the lumber store prices in my area at 8-10 bucks for a bag! Which is ok if you’re only needing a handful.

Nice intro my friend, thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge about walkway installation #JamesGipe
Came out great!!! What was the final cost?
Thank you for this video. I have never layed pavers but I have seen other videos in which they used gravel and compacted the base before installation. Can you share why you chose not to do that on this job?

Good afternoon,Thank you for sharing Keep it up.I connect new friend .#James Gepi😊
what are the measurements of the 3 sizes you are using for the sidewalk
Hello watched and connected to you u
That’s a talent there. #james
Do you need to install weed barrier
Hi ny friend from james
What your overall square footage? and What was your materials cost?
wach and support from james gape gape
nice job how much money was that 100 plus square of pavers
👍
What did you used for the base please? Thanks
why don't you want to have too long a straight line? Is that for aesthetics or stability?
How did you finish the space between the blacktop and the paver walkway? I’m thinking about attempting something similar but I can’t figure out how to beat join to the pavement. There is like a 45 degree taper to the edge of the asphalt.
I use my cut off saw and cut a nice sharp line in the asphalt and remove that taper and run your pavers right to it.

Steel conduit holds the shape better with less flex when screeding

Great video .. does the paver need an edge support !?
Thanks
I dress this question in the video... Short answer IT DEPENDS
@@KenMrKLC appreciate it. I was flying through at 2xspeed and had a baby crapping her pants !!
Are the stressing pipes just 1” pvc?
is there a link to the part 1 of the video , I cant find it in your channel, thank you
Did i miss what you used for the Base? did you apply fine gravel and tamper down before installing sand?
It's called hard-pack. It goes down over the dirt and before the sand. you should put about 4+ inches down and then compact it.
@@doublej118jc then you don't compact it at the sand level?
@@kmeter2004 No, you don't compact the sand but you have to make sure it's level before you set your pavers.
Best to avoid 4 way joints in your pavers. Looks better and more professional to never have corners touching. Takes a minute to get it hammered into your head but once you do you'll never have another 4 way ever again.
What is best to use. Sand or dirt?thank u
Very nice job, I found this video today because I will start my pathway tomorrow. Thank You
Glad I could help, Thanks for the comment!
Nice work! Good advice about the seams on how you break them up. About how much did you pay $$ for the pavers for this project?
Home Shuzoz about $3.50-$5.50 per sq foot depending on style and brand
@@KenMrKLC That's not what you charge per square foot is it?
@@jackfoxxx68 No, he asked what it cost for the pavers
Hey there
ሰላም በያለሁ
Hi how come you don’t use or cement the side for reinforcements?
The pavers will move with time. I would have used either concrete or plastic edge reinforcement with 12 inch spikes.
You don’t use edging for pavers?
I do, the answer to your question is spoken about in the video
It’s called “the planning fallacy “ it’s an actual scientific phenomena. Things always take longer than you plan for. When you’re estimating a job you will imagine it being completed in a perfect world. there’s always going be a detail or condition that you didn’t plan for.
Why no edging to hold in place and didn't see you use a plate compactor this will fail in one to two years?
I explained in the video. I have pictures of walkways I did over 20 years ago exactly the same way that look exactly as the day I put them in but just a little faded.

Ok
This type of stuff happens to everyone. You just can't think of everything at once.
howcome u didnt use a weed barrier, tamp the sand to compact it & then lay some black paver padding ? these are 3 inportant steps that were Ieft out🙄🤔
Hi
150 Ads later!
you put sand and water right after???????? didnt compact ?
Yes sir! Not on all my walks and patios but I have done many that way over the last 15 years and not one issue with any of them.

Good job , metric measurements heaps easier though.
@@armenian205 he should have blown away the surface polymeric sand before wetting. It looks good anyway.
2 and 3 eights? Just say 60 mm :)
How much would this cost to hire someone to do it for me?
WE price them out from about $18-$22 per square foot materials and labor. If its real small it can cost more per square foot. But average walks and patios are about those prices
@@KenMrKLC thanks. I already have the pavers, would the price drop some?
WoW we could barely hear you and then when the music comes on it's really really really loud. I'm convinced no one watches and listens to their own videos before they upload them but thanks for sharing.
Sorry about that, I usually do audio leveling and also hate when that happens. Listening to someone talk you turn it up to hear then music blasts.

Sorry, I pay for Premium $9.99 is well worth not having to watch any ads as I watch a lot of RUclips
@@KenMrKLC ads is where you make money correct
@@KenMrKLC I didnt see any ads! ???
get yourself some solid metal pipe instead of the PVC.
I have solid I use for patios. When doing walkways that are following the contour of existing ground I use PVC
I think your video needs more commercials...
I pay $9 a month for youtube plan, No commercials ever. With the amount I watch youtube $.30 a day to not see commercials... NO BRAINER. Sorry.....
