    As someone who has been doing this professionally for 24 years I can only say one thing: I couldn't have done it better.
    I loved the click-and-drop explanation, cause that is the only way to do it right. Keep it up boys!

    Ive been watching you for years and love your project. I and a Forman in the NC area for hardscapes and we use the same general method as you guys. A few things we do differently though. We use SS5 soil separator fabric under every patio. It is somewhat permeable so any water trapped can wear through. Followed by 4-6 inches of ABC amd instead of using sand we use 1-1.5 inches of 89 stone compacted. This stone allows the water trapped under patios to weap out but won't shift over time like sand if the patio experiences heavy weather. Last step is laying patio, tamp and sand it in. The only thing we have used sand for is travertine patios. Love watching you guys work; always something to learn from you guys. Keep it up.

      I know I have skipped back into the catalog and found starter videos that had additional projects added a year or two later, or you scouted the project and then a year later start working on it. Having those videos all grouped in a playlist, or in the comments would make it easer to watch the progress over time.
      It would also get you more clicks and views...a win/win! LoL

    My first dump trailer not only paid for itself, it actually paid me to buy it. Love it. Best purchase in a long time for our home renovations business. How did it pay for itself? Many times we had a small to medium demo, yet the cost of a dumpster is a few hundred bucks. So now we just use the dump trailer when a 30 yd dumpster isnt needed. Even after labor and dump fees we have calculated that we save about $100 per month from our previous demo disposal costs. Gotta love that

    Stan we use a larger plate compactor, 11,000 lb impact fore base compaction as the lighter ones 3500 to 4500 lbs don't compact subbase and base enough in our clay soils we have in northern Illinois. Our test for proper compaction will bend a 3/8" spike. We use electric hammers to install edging spikes as the hammers are too slow. Great instructions on pavers! One more thing we only install 5 foot wide walks as that was the width of a skid steer bucket. I can't wait to see the rest of the videos, thank you!

    This is a great style video..watching the guys while hearing your narration is a good combination for learning. thank you..hope to see more of this style actually!! I took pictures of the steps during the video. One piece of feedback....you could add text into the video during Edit to list the steps, label things like "class 5 base"....etc. "carry a rubber mallet!" even some entertainment value in here....LOL....great stuff.

    Hello great video. I helped an old stone mason 35 years ago do pavers had about 8 inch base compacted then we used stone dust like a 3/8 minus lime stone packed down like concrete
