The Pavers used on this job are all manufactured by (Genest) out of Maine, the name of the main patio paver is called (Grand Katahdin) and the color tone is (Granite). The border pavers are called (Eastern Bay) with a color tone of (Charcoal). - Jak na to + styl
You inspire me. Plan on doing a 20x35 patio on the other side of my pool. I will leave a 6” gravel gap between pool concrete and pavers for drainage.
Thanks for your work!
That's very cool, the 6" gap in between is a very good idea. You won't have any water issues at that point. Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your project! ✌
Great work great craftsmanship. Landscaping is back breaking work. Many props to you guys you make it look easy. No way that this fat guy could do this kind of work. I live in Central Florida this work would put me in the hospital.
Thank you very much, it certainly is hard work. I probably couldn't do it either if I lived in Florida...🤣 ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper I’m a strong believer in Christ I see that you are too. Keep up doing the work for his kingdom. And enjoy your youth our bodies start hating us later in life. I will pray that someday you can just run the company at some point and that you will be able to hire many others to do that hard labor. I follow another hard working businessman here on you tube. GCI Turf Academy and he loves Jesus. Hard work is so rewarding keep it up.
That's awesome to hear and I certainly will! I am looking forward to where God is going to bring me and my company. As well as who He will bring into my company.... I'll have to check out his channel at some point. Thanks for the feedback! ✌
Why is this channel so addicting?
🤣🤷♂️✌
Beautiful work, looks like hard work but worth it. 😊 Carol from the United Kingdom
Thank you! It is not easy but very rewarding in many ways. Thanks for the feedback!
friday night beers and a new upload AWESOME !
🤣👍🏻 yea buddy!! ✌🏻
Nice work as usual brother.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Great work fellas, keep it up!
Thank you, will do!
🐛+ 🐞+🐺. Nature while you work. What's not to like . All the best to you both and make sure that wee caterpillar gets out before you fill.
Right! I love being outdoors as much as I am. Fresh air daily and plenty of nature to enjoy!✌
I am curious why you don’t compact after screeding?
Just because it would not do much. With this 3/8 inch crushed stone, compacting before screeding is pretty much pointless. Hard to explain why other than it is a loose aggregate with no binder material. You can compact loose materials over and over, it will still be loose after.
❤❤🙏🙏
Man, you guys are meticulous. Nice. I'm learning.
We sure try to be, glad the videos are helpful ✌
ive seen these guys trucks lol nice
✌
Thank you for all your amazing videos! I've watched dozens of other pavers on YT but you clearly have the BEST techniques!!! I've learned so much for my own patio project. Please tell me the name of the black landscape cloth you use. Also how can I adjust your aggregate technique for height variations laying flagstone rather than pavers. None of your videos cover flagstone.
Thank you very much for the support, I appreciate it! With Flagstone I would screed based on the thickest stones and add chip stone where necessary for the thinner pieces to bring them up to correct grade. I hope that makes sense… ✌🏻
Love your videos and the in-depth explanations of why you do specific things. I'm getting ready to lay a 400 sq ft Bluestone patio at our house and my plan was 8-10 of base rock (#57). I was going to incorporate your method of an inch or so right on the soil then fabric, then backfill. With bluestone though since the thickness varies and the surface of the stone isn't the same across all of them would 3/4" stone for screed still be the best bet? It also seems that sand or something finer would be better to contour those irregular shapes? Curious your thoughts. Thanks!!
Thank you, glad you enjoy them! I would still recommend the same method as I use for pavers. The chip stone will always be better than sand, especially for natural stone. ✌
Hard watching this when it's 105 in Houston.
🤣🥵 this was back in April, been a little warmer recently… ✌🏻
Subscribed and enjoying your videos on pavers for my big project. In my area we have 3/4 clean and 1/4 clean. How many inches base of 3/4 clean as the first base? How many inches of 1/4 clean as the second layer? Sorry if i missed it.
That's awesome, I appreciate the support! I use 5-8 inches of 3/4 clean depending on the situation, and 1-1.5 inches of 1/4 clean stone. So with the paver height, we excavate 8-10 inches below top of grade. Good luck! ✌
Have you ever done pavers around a pool? The first piece is on top the lip of the foberglass pool so it will never settle . Was curious if you would set the rest 1/8-1/4 inch high for future settlement? Or before the plate tamp
I would definitely recommend setting them higher and tamping / hammering into place. You do that to force the settlement of what years of nature would do. Other than that, make sure you have a minimum of a strong 1/8 pitch - 1/4 pitch of slope away from pool in all directions. ✌🏻
Question?... Why don't you run the pattern that goes with these pavers?... That way you don't get joint lines that go so long or multiple sizes next to one another...
I actually prefer randomly laid pavers compared to a pattern. I don’t like to look at a patio that has the same pattern repeated over and over again… just personal preference though. I think the longest line 6 pavers… which really isn’t bad on a patio this size ✌🏻
Looking good man. I like that dump trailer a lot what brand and model is it?
Thanks brother, I love that trailer! It is a 2021 N&N 16’ long Galvanized Dump trailer. No model that I know of. The mesh sides are an add on. They are made in Canada. I got mine from a dealer in Connecticut.
Hi, in the video you mentioned that you "try not to poly-sand against the wall".. and judging by the distance between the paver & wall, there's no space for concrete edging, righ? So just leave them with no edging like that?
We fill the gap with the same crushed stone that we lay our pavers on ( 3/8 inch ). That locks the pavers in but allows for water from the siding to freely travel through and down into the subsoil rathe than traveling over the patio. ✌
Can you please explain the estimate process how do you estimate per square feet or per job
There are quite a few things to take into account for estimating projects like this. I hope to be able to make some estimating videos in the future, right now I am just focused on showing how to do the work.
How doyou keep pattern random and is there rules to follow when doing this
There's a few things to look out for, I went over it in a little more depth in the previous video. This is the link to that video czcams.com/video/cN19zb7gZBY/video.html. ✌
And you do or dont tamp the 57 stone base below the chip stone?
On patios and walkways with just foot traffic, I only compact the first layer into the subsoil. Then I lay geotextile fabric over the compacted stone and backfill to height with the 3/4 clean (no need to compact). Then spread and screed the chip stone. I compact the pavers into the chip during the polymeric sand stage. I tell people that if they want to compact the 3/4, you certainly can, but it comes 98% compacted once raked out. For driveways however, I would compact as well as lay geogrid in between the backfill layers to account for vehicular traffic.
Any idea what brand these pavers are?
They are mad by (Genest) and are called (Grand Katahdin) with a color tone of (Granite). The border is made by (Genest also and are called (Eastern Bay) with a color tone of (Charcoal)
Hey buddy, my name is German, and I would like to learn more about this business, you bring a lot of information and details, but can you help me with the estimates? How can I make a really good estimate without losing money and something more. God bless you on everything you have and everything you do!
Really I’m learning with your videos and you are the best giving me details, I looked just one of those videos and I said I love that kind the jobs and looks really good what he is doing, I need learn more, and now I can’t stop to play every single video
Hey German, I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and learning more about this work. I love this work! But teaching how to do the estimates is not easy… becoming good at estimates comes from a lot of experience building things like this. Knowing how to do the work is what gives you an advantage with estimating it. So all I can say is to go out and try it. The more you do, the more you will learn ✌🏻
@@TheChristianHardscaper thank you so much, I will, and I will send you if is possible the results. Thank you everything I know about Hardskape for now it’s from your videos. God bless you buddy.
How come you don’t use or install permeable paving despite going to all that effort of having a free draining sub-base and free draining bedding layer and still rely on having a slope to carry the run-off away from the property (nothing wrong with a slight fall away from property regardless of whether permeable or non permeable patio) even though all the work for a permeable patio or walkway has already been done, my question is are these exact same design pavers not available as permeable pavers, how different could they be from each other, sorry about the long post but am just a little confused, thanks and your work is always beautiful as always.
A permeable system would require small crushed stone in the joints that could possibly get all over the patio down the road. This is called a (Hybrid) method because you get the benefits of a well draining base and the nice finish look of a non permeable install. Any paver can be permeable but if the joints are too small, you have to space them out farther. I go through all the effort of a permeable base so that the pavers I lay down will last for decades. Thanks for the support! ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper Thanks a lot for replying and it makes sense, best of both worlds, thanks again for replying and great work as always.
Doing pavers today at home. Only when its 90 out lol 🙄
🥵 thats a hot day to be laying pavers … still always a blast building something with pavers though ✌🏻
@@TheChristianHardscaper for sure. Remodeling so pulling up moving and reusing…
oh nice, yet another reason pavers are so nice, re-usable! ✌
Yes sir! Cant do that with concrete lol never lays back down the same lol
@@mikez4132 it definitely does not... 😂
Great work, but no gloves or kneeling pads ouch.
Thank you, it’s tough for me to work with gloves on…. But kneeling pads are very nice. I have a couple, we should start using them more ✌🏻
@@TheChristianHardscaper My neighbour recommended Maxiflex gloves( his electrician's use them) I've now used them for quite a few years on all building ,diy work, i think they're brilliant. They stretch to your hands, come in different sizes online. I use the MaxiFlex ULTIMATE 8(M). You can wash them.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will have to check them out ✌
