Your quality of work is excellent my friend! Also, the way you articulate the tips and tricks is fantastic as well. This is truly your craft.
My gosh, I'm thoroughly impressed (which is not easy to do)! Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome video!🥇
Thank you, my pleasure! ✌
About the best video yet on cut Concrete Pavers on a Curve.....easy 10 out of 10
Glad you liked it, thank you for the feedback!
Kyle all of your work is amazing and superbly detailed but I don’t think anyone on RUclips cuts a radius better than you! Comes out mint every time!
Thank you very much brother, I appreciate that big time! I have been cutting pavers for a very long time....LOL ✌
Very helpful to know about putting more stone under the border stones and compacting with a hammer. You man do a beautiful artistic job. Thanks for sharing your tips
That is key to having the edge hold strong for many years. Thanks for the comment! ✌
Just cut my curves using these tips. turned out great, couldn't have done it without this vid. Thanks! That saw almost killed me tho, time for bed...
That's awesome man, nice job! Glad the video was helpful, those saws will make you sleep good for sure... 🤣✌
Golden tips! Looks fantastic... beautiful job. Thank you, great video!
Glad to hear it, my pleasure! Thanks for the feedback ✌
The project looks awesome. Thank you for all the explanations. They are very helpful.
Thank you, my pleasure! ✌
Awesome job. My guy should have watched this video before attempting to cut pavers around my in-ground steps.
Thank you! Hopefully it is not too bad... Cutting curves like this takes time and experience ✌
Wow! I’ve learned more from you than any u tube channel. THANKYOU for being soooo detailed. You and Benny do beautiful work
That is great to hear! Thank you very much for the feedback. We love the work we do and sharing it here on RUclips has been a blast! ✌
Lindo trabajo amigo felicidades.
Puedo ir a Massachusetts para que me entrenes? 😅
Beautiful, beautiful work. Lucky homeowners to have found you!
Thank you very much, I am always the lucky one to have the opportunity! ✌
I love learning landscaping from Ben Aflac!
😂✌
Absolutely fantastic cut and work. Thanks for all the tips
No problem, thank you! ✌
I watch a lot of your videos. You are an excellent teacher of your craft. Great detail and explanations always. Thank you and I appreciate how you emphasize the little things in your projects.
Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback! I try to be thorough with my explanations, I know there are a lot of people interested in this work (including me). It has been a blast making all these videos and the feedback like this is very motivating. Thanks again brother! ✌🏻
I’m really loving the thin black border
Exactly right on all the border cutting advice!!!!👍👍
As always looking awesome!!
Thanks brother, that border pops! Love it! ✌🔥
Truly a work of art. Beautiful

Quality work as always Kyle!
Those curves were flawless! 😃
Thank you! I love cutting pavers, very nice to look back once you get it done… ✌🏻
Thx again. Just picked up ts420. My pool deck is nothing but curves.
Nice, good luck! It is tough work but the outcome is so nice ✌
Awesome job! Now I definitely know how I'll be cutting the curves on my DIY hardscaping project at home. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank You 🙏🏼
My pleasure!
Nice cut🎉
Thanks!
Great video quality.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it ✌
Nice cuts
Thanks!
Really great tutorial. How often would you say you change that saw blade?
glad you liked it! Those blades can last months if taken care of properly. but that can depend on how much use and what type of material you cut. Just cutting concrete, it will last awhile... but when you start cutting natural stone, it wont last so long...
Thinking is always problem 1:41 Doing it is solution🎉🎉🎉
I totally agree 🤙🏻
When you have a really tight radius with 4.5x9 edger (running long way), how do you manage the tighter curves? Would you cut them in half and use 4.5x4.5 pavers to make it around the curve?
That is a great way to get through a tight radius. If it is really tight, you can cut them in half but also at a slight angle to help with the radius. ✌
got the old darby out rightnoff the bat
Yea buddy! I’m so glad I bought that thing 👌🏻
@TheChristianHardscaper once u get it broken in, i think you will like it better, its weird how darbys ar made different all around the country too
@@GRUBB-MUDD Yea, for sure. The edges need to get rounded off a bit... I almost bought the magnesium one but this Mahogany wood one was a lot cheaper... Figured it is fine for smoothing out my bedding stone.
Damn brother! Your damn good
With that saw!!! I’ll tell you nothing beats up a saw blade more than cutting radius into natural flagstone lol! Hope your having a great day bro! That landing looks killer!!! Very impressive
Thanks man! That natural stone definitely kicks your saw blades ass for sure! Everything is good here, I hope the same for you too. I just seen that you uploaded, going to check it out now! ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper right on bro! Glad your doing well! I got some video of an outdoor fireplace we did a couple years back at the end of the video. I think you’ll like it bro! You the man Kyle!!
Heck yea bro, that fireplace is mint! 👌🏻
@@TheChristianHardscaper Thank you brother! That means a lot coming from you!! And you killed this walkway and steps job! Great work as always bro!
Great work man just now researching how to do this. Did you do a pattern for the main area or are they random??
Thank you, I lay the pavers randomly. You just need to watch out for a few things... Check out this video right here if you want to learn more about it 👉ruclips.net/video/JJvIb05mmGw/видео.html
Little off topic...Do you have any vids of building stairs with wall block and not veneer? Also, whats the CF of your plate compactor for open grade base? Lastly, do you use open grade base on driveways that might have heavy vehicular traffic , like say a work van loaded with tools ?...Best, Steve
you can use a roughly 3,000 lb cf compactor and be fine on foot traffic applications. I would recommend open grade base for driveways. But you need a minimum of 10-12 inches of base stone and needs a few more steps taken in the backfill process than a foot traffic only application. You should backfill with 4-5 inch lifts and compact with a much heavier compactor with much higher CF ratings than the foot traffic only applications. Then on top of the compacted lift should have a layer of geo grid before backfilling more stone. 2 layers of geo grid at least. That will help stabilize the stone and lock it together. Then once you have installed the pavers, they should be compacted with a compactor (3,000 lb CF) to set them into the bedding stone nice and tight. Then install the poly sand and compact again.
Here is a couple videos of me building block steps.
This one is how I prep the base and lay the 1st row👉ruclips.net/video/FElDTnJRJKs/видео.html
This one is building the rest of the steps👉ruclips.net/video/EVmJ6tNYb58/видео.html
@@TheChristianHardscaper hi, i dont get, u say 3000 lb compactor, if u using only 200 lb compactor: 220 lb = 100 kg. or my wrong?
Greetings from europe 🤙
@@romasrimas2191 So I was referring to the amount of force that it compacts with. A smaller compactor like mine will generally compact with 3,000 lbs of force.
@@TheChristianHardscaper Thanks for the links..had you considered placing the step blocks about 1 inch on the row beneath instead of on just base to ensure a more solid foundation?...Best, Steve
@@TheChristianHardscaper yea, man i was talking about weight of compactor and u about force, fine🤦♂️. U know u using 3372 lbf (15 kn) compactor with 200 lb. weight. Its wacker neuson production. U own it or just renting?
If so , why dont u buy, i guess its the same price like yours concrete saw STihl. In my land the price about 1200 eur. (its 1300 $). 🤑
I cut the perimeter of the patio I did last summer with the wet saw. I was alone and didn't have anyone there to wash away the slurry while cutting. The slurry stained the pavers around the cut area. What's your go-to for cleaning that off?
Yea, that stuff can be nasty…. I would try using a power washer, that usually works fine. If not, they make paver friendly cleaners that you can put on it and use a hard bristle scrub brush to loosen it up. Than rinse off. Good luck man ✌🏻
@@TheChristianHardscaper thanks for always replying. Your videos made my project go a lot more smoothly.
@@nickohler8153 No problem at all, I am glad my videos were helpful to you, that's what this channel is all about. Congratulations on your project! ✌
Harbor freight sells a "warrior" 4.5" angle grinder for $14; a diamond blade about $5. A one time purchase for a DIY project... if it breaks you have a 30 day return window. After that just buy a new one.
Not bad advice... It takes longer and it won't cut pavers all the way through but you can certainly make it work. ✌
What if the edge that you’re starting your pavers on has an angle in it? So that the pavers are moving away from each other with a increasingly large gap in the middle. Ever seen that before?
Do you mean laying pavers up against another surface that is not square?

Don't be too enthusiastic Benny! lol😁
🤣 He is too cool to be enthusiastic… lol ✌🏻
Ben?
