Cost: $1,000 to $2,000, for an average-size patio
Time: Two to three days for an average-size patio
Skill level: Moderate. Prepping the site can be exhausting, but laying the brick pavers goes pretty quickly
Shopping List for How to Build a Brick Patio:
- Brick pavers [amzn.to/2MRsgXe], used to create patio surface
- Graded base [amzn.to/2MP1tek], for forming sub-base for patio
- Sand [amzn.to/31v0R0C], is spread over sub-base and on top of patio
- Plastic edging [amzn.to/2Ig56W4], used to create border around brick patio
Tools for How to Build a Brick Patio:
- Shovel [amzn.to/31Isofg], used to excavate the site
- Nylon mason's line [amzn.to/31x0N0n] and stakes [amzn.to/2MOHc8v], for stretching layout lines across patio
- Plate compactor [amzn.to/2XbaOB7], used to tamp down soil, sub-base and brick pavers
- Garden rake [amzn.to/2Ihd41k], for spreading sand
- Hammer [amzn.to/2KhAu95], used to tap in spikes that hold down the edging
- Masonry saw [amzn.to/2IghKEy], used to cut brick pavers
- -Screed and screed rails [amzn.to/2XdUTBU], for establishing proper screed height of sand base
- Wheelbarrow [amzn.to/31v0vat], used to transport material
- Push broom [amzn.to/2MOCRT3], for sweeping excess sand from patio
Steps:
Take up all old bricks and paving stones from the patio, then use a shovel to remove 7 inches of soil from the area.
Run a gas-powered plate compactor over the area to tamp down the ground.
Spread out 2 inches of graded base, then compact the area.
Stretch nylon lines across the patio 3 inches above graded base.
Lay steel pipes, known as screed rails, in place 2 inches below nylon line.
Spread sand over the entire area.
Pull a screed along the rails to remove excess sand.
Fill in low spots with more sand and screed the area again.
Start setting pavers in one corner of the patio. Drop pavers into place, don't slide them.
Continue installing pavers, making sure to stagger the joints between courses.
Install plastic edging around the perimeter of the patio.
Spread ½ inch of sand over the bricks.
Run the plate compactor over the patio to vibrate the sand deep into the joints between the pavers.
Use a push broom to sweep excess sand from the patio.

“Plenty of blu taarps!” Awesome.
Thank you, great video. No extra useless advice or talking. Straight to the point! Myself and others alike appreciate videos like this.
love the realism. the weather never holds up when you start working outside :P
Loving the brick pattern. Used to enjoy watching the lads laying the brick sidewalks when I was in engineering. Great to see it being done. Thanks.
When hammering in the spikes into the retaining edge, angle it so that you're pressing the edge towards the pavers instead of pulling it away.
That home owner experienced true level that day and when she stepped away she realized everything is crooked and reality is poison.
I miss this guy
The best on the show IMHO
Thanks for showing us how you cut the pavers.
Madd Dogg take a measure of why you need it or simply make a mark on the brick. Pull out your handy angle grinder that has attached to it a diamond saw blade(tile mans blade) and proceed to cut like butter.
@@torkdork69 Angle grindah.
Yep, or you can score and hammer
This looks really involved with lots a steps.
Yep
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing
For non-freezing climates, this is an easy, practical way for homeowners to do their own brick-paving.
Agreed....sand has a tendency to mix with the dirt as a part of the freeze and thaw cycles. And eventually, after that happens, the bricks are no longer level
@@NitaSedaithat’s why you use gator dust instead of sand duh
This sounds like East coast USA which is definitely a freezing climate. What would you do?
Yeah its weird that they use gravel with fines and dont use polymeric sand? Im in wisconsin and we use like 7 inches of clear gravel and then screed 1/4 inch clear gravel to lay the bricks on and then sweep in sand that has glue in it
Good job. Stinks that it rained.
That's odd. I didn't see any mention of a "pitch".
Good work and a nice project. Thank you.
👏 👏.👌 💯 ,good job s, nice paving, 👏 👏.👌
Is that the same way as I use the bigger square bricks for a 10×10 patio for a steel gazebo
Great guys always learn something for better life

Great job, thank you for sharing !!!
He looks so happy here. Makes me sad knowing how he is know :(
Dr Din what happened?
drew5211 ill health
:(
Wow very good job :)
They don't say what to do with the 2inch pipe anyone have any ideas I'm sure they remove but how do you keep the space for the pipe from falling once removed
pull it out and fill in the gap with some left over sand. Smooth it out with a trowel.
Can someone tell me what stops the sand from washing out of the joints when it rains?
Polymeric sand 'sets' after the first wash with water.
Or how about frost heave? Or freeze/thaw cycles...doesnt the sand beliw the pavers gets mixed with the dirt below? I mean, it would settle into the spaces between the rock and then mix over time, right?
Good job guys 👍

I AM A huge fans and me and BoB is a huge fane .👍🏻🤟🏻👉🏻🤛🏼✌🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻🖖🏻🤘🏻
How much would something like this cost?
Looks great!
@3:06 Mothernature tried, but he was one step ahead.
3:06 well done !
👍 Thanks.
I personally would hate brick but it came out good! Must be hard to get it so leveled and straight
Brick is timeless
great video

PLENTY AH BLUE TAHP
Sometimes sand sometimes stone powder....:why?
sometimes is why
3:10 Blue Tahp.
Blue tawp
What about it?
Jon Clash its tahp not tawp. He’s from Boston. Tawp would be a NY accent.
very nice
why didn't he put plastic/or weed cloth between the gravel or sand to keep plants out?
also, how did he cut the smaller bricks? I'm sure they had a wet saw on hand.
Weeds are going to grow thru 7 inches on stone and brick lol?
@@jtblatt1988got eem
What was that long tool he was using to make it all even? And how long was that?
It was a two by four piece of lumber
2:17 …….. where’s the rigged plastic edge rail?
Is it not needed there?
As a professional hardscaping company, that installs 2-5 patios a month every year, this video goes against everything that our company does. (At least in freezing climates) We never ever use sand for patios, and replace at least 10 patios a year that have been constructed with a sand base. In fact, we use all clear stone (no fines).
+Matthew Parmley What do you use instead of sand?
Nb. N. JmmsjafFhz m kfßuhxjjzeo'."/(.
Here in Western Australia, sand is perfect - no freezing weather
Just curious, how does that work? How do you level to a fine degree with clear stone?
This is perfect for me, southwest florida
Note to self.........; 0:53 - 2:16. The MOST important part of re-laying the patio in your own back yard.
Why remove exactly 7 inches? How do you determine that?
Paver height, sand & rock depth combined
They wanted the patio to match the entranceway steps in height
Why sand? Why not limestone screening?
Is screening for big pavers and sand for small little brick pavers?
it's probably concrete sand
@@PrimeSuperboyyep
Why don't you tamper the sand also and then set the pipes in the sand great work guy's.
2:35 How can you patent something that people have been doing forever?
Oh, he said "pattern" haha.
So why not use polymeric sand? Besides the fact that it’s a bit pricey...
don't have a plate compactor...
Rent one numbnuts
I just came from another video where Rogah is saying you can't lay bricks on sand because it doesn't pack down hard. WHAT IS THE TRUTH ROGAH?
The sand you used is way to thick to fill the gaps in the block paving. You should have used a finer sand to fill the gaps instead of regular sand.
Um, no, you _want_ a coarser sand because its job is to act like little sharp wedges that lodge in and stick to the sides of the pavers with plenty of locking friction. Also: "way to thick to fill..."? Oops, didn't you mean "way toO thick to fill..."?
a hoff an inch of sand?
As a professional hardscape company owner almost everything in this video goes against what we do. One need minimum of 6" of granular 'A’ as base, plus 1" of bedding/concrete sand, running on 1" pipes...
Kourosh - Do you have any videos? In the Spring I need to reset pavers I have that are sagging. It's a small area so I was going to pull up all of them because it is holding water.
Lex Luther
Hi Lex,
I don't have any videos uploaded on CZcams.
What I would recommend you to do is to follow ICPI guidelines for concrete pavers installation.
Make sure you have proper slope for drainage.
Thank you for replying
Not in a subtropical climate
@1:03 Are the rails sitting directly on the base material, or was there some sand placed underneath the rails to put them right at 2" below the line?
Papoochee depends. Base is sent it with less accuracy. Rails are set via stringline so you may have to raise it with the sand
That rain helps
One tiny girl was making the brick floor by ourselves. See the effect of her work: czcams.com/video/4FiVYIa83dQ/video.html
Aren't you supposed to use stone dust?
stone dawst?
You’re gonna teach this old house?
Welcome to earth Everyone has different method to doing stuff
Um, Roger already showed you to use the stone dust. It's part of the mixed-grade pack.
I beat you to it, Andy.
What type of materials you used under the patio
Uhh... try actually _paying attention_ to the video all the way through.
Is he from Boston
Bwot plenny a bloo TAHPS
I came heeyah for the accent.

anyone know what's the name on the song in this video? thanks
I don't know the name, but I'm pretty sure that it's nothing more than the theme music for Ask This Old House for the specific range of seasons.
Used Shazam lol

I feel like I've seen this recently.
Maxid1 Probably a minute before you wrote this comment
Yep, what Richard said! Also, yes, you saw it on TV recently.

There are NO videos of laying a brick floor over a cement walkway. whats up with that? I am about to wash down the walk way, brush some concrete glue on, mix my mortar with a little additive and lay the brick down like pavers, maybe I will butter the edges of each brick or maybe I will just lay the brick down and grout it like tile, idk. does that sound good to you?
Because people don't make cement walkways. Maybe the hardest kind of walkway that has cement _in_ it is a *concrete* walkway.
🧱☺️
Last episode they said never to use sand
Yeah that's what I thought too
Hard to understand with his Speech impediment but thanks for the videos anyway, cheers! Keep rocking trooper! :-)
It’s called an accent you limited little peon. Go clean the short bus, it’s filthy.
Ive noticed it seems 90% of your customers are single women, why do you think this is so? Its really confussing to non-americans that there is such a powerful correlation. Any reasons for this? This Old House
they need to hire better actresses and better script writers
allnamesarepicked Where did you get that information? They only talk about building the patio. Why are you recording that information anyway? Sounds like you’re a creep
They don't use actors, dumb sawyer.

This is REALLY a crap job, unless it is meant to last for one summer only.
Wow this guy has to get off CZcams what he is showing people is all wrong and it will not last for very long your lucky if u make it one summer without it moving
I agree with you
yep i know,that wont last very long
Jonathan, our _what_ is lucky if we go through one summer without it moving??
That accent is so annoying.
+meedily what accent?
+meedily I bot plenny of blue TOP!
I was being facetious - he is from my neck of the woods.
Meedily, *your* accent is so annoying.
Well, Sole, even if you hadn't been facetious, the "what" question is a good one, because _everyone_ has an accent. (If it's noticeable only depends on what culture the listener is from.)
