Your grading and leveling process looked so much simpler than many other DIY tutorials. Thank you
I know this is an older video, but wanted to say thanks for showing it done with a skid steer. SO MANY DIY vids for patios and other excavation work only ever show people breaking their back with shovels and I was like "surely you could rent a skid steer or mini ex to do this, right?" For a few hundred you get the excavation done in a day AND save your back. That's a deal in my book.
Would you consider doing a step by step video for dummies on sloping away from your foundation for paver patio? I have watched so many, & still don’t understand how to properly & accurately accomplish this. All the ones you have done are great, but can’t find one on sloping.
brother you made that look super easy.. i had such a hard time with my backyard i ended up calling aprofessional hahaha
Please never stop making these videos
Grading and compacting today! Thanks for the help
U busted the big toy out first. Great video info
Great stuff man. Can’t wait to put it to practice.
Man. You look like that dude that builds motorcycles with his dad. Just waiting for you to flip out and start throwing stuff.
Solid videos thou. Enjoying them regardless. Although maybe throw a stone here and there
Great tips mate ! Thank you for your time 🍻
I know that you are bored since you've finished your patio so come have fun at my house putting one in!
Nice video! In your estimate, how many days will it take to finish that patio by yourself alone if using a shovel in excavating 9" on the ground? Thanks for sharing.
Wa wa woo wa ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Who is the guy who looks like the Marlboro man?
For just a backyard patio I thought it was 4 inches of base, 6 inches for heavier applications like a driveway. Could be a little savings for some! I like your technique of painting the low spots ahead of time btw.
I have heard of 4" for patios, but I have never seen it work effectively. Driveway applications require 8-12" of base rock.
The 4” and 6” are for poured concrete applications not pavers. Pavers are individual pieces so the thicker the actual base the better. With pavers a 12” base is pretty thick and will most likely not budge overtime.
Thanks for the video!! It's amazing why so many people give him a thumbs down....SMH
it amazes me how all of these patio install vids start with a table top flat yard to work with. What abut the guy that needs a 12x12 patio and his yard drop 10 inches over that 12 feet?
that's what I am dealing with, my 15 X 15 foot area drops 8 inches.....
So what did you do? I'M about to start a 26x13 patio in the next week or so.
@@Jaxsolo simplest way i think is to compact more of your base in the low area to get your desired slope. it may require a step + a retainer or more dirt to get the correct slope from patio edge->end of yard. does this make sense?
your gravel base will be 9" thicker on the low side to get your 1% slope. it will require some more dirt work to get the runoff away from the patio to the end of your yard
@@Jaxsolo by base i mean the crushed stone +fines you bring in to compact
What your thoughts on using old pavers as base with your crushed gravels.
looks good, but I didn't see about grading for water runoff ...
Can you do this same process on sand? I live in the desert and my backyard is full of sand. It’s the same consistency as beach sand. The kind where you sink a little with each step. I’m struggling to determine the best solution to lay a foundation for pavers.
All the videos i see start in a fairly flat area...mine isn't sloped...really wish i could find something on what to do to prep a sloped area...how much fill you need, etc.
Great video, I like the preparation steps and diffrent options for grading .. Do you do professional service too ..? Where can I lease compactor ..
is this the same prep if we’re going to do a synthetic turf area? Great video . thank you
What happen to your other video. I know I saw a video where u cut a 2 by 4 to 2inch to screen your subbase but I cant find it anymore and the one where every project starts with a shovel video
what gravel didi you first get delivered?? How many yards?? is 3/4 crushed stone ok?? T Y for a reply
Other contractors say to lay a 1" layer of sand over your base. Which is required, yours or theirs
Fortunately I didn't notice a trench full of roots - a whole different problem.
What do you use for the base thanks
How long did this process take?
Sloped backyard. How can I build a paved patio?
Why not use string levels across the surface and just rake the material up to the bottom of the string. Better way to start
You could but initially it would be more work. It would better be used after compacting. Also with a string leveler you would have to look closer, with a straight board you can see the unleveling because it shows shade. Much easier to find the unleveling that way. String would be better for higher not lower.
Of course if you had gone with shovel 5hrs later you’re half way 😂😂
What type of rocks do you use for the base?
Also, do you recommend compacting the sand before laying down the pavers?
is there a formula to determine how much base needed
Length x width x depth in feet gives you the cubic footage. Lots of materials sites have calculators on their websites that give you approximate numbers in tonnage to convert from volume to weight.
When do start considering sloping for water drainage
Good question. The slope was already determined before excavation. It is covered in the layout video. We do not "level" the gravel in this video. We keep it straight following our layout plans. The thing that makes this a little less than obvious is that the lot is near level, so we get to us the sites drainage with little adjustment.
This is tooooo involved...need to find an easier video that is more in the poor man's job. I don't have that fancy stuff. Ahh, I figured out what to do. Was able to make this one work for me. Thanks.
What kind of rock do you use?
The crushed limestone used goes by many different names depending where you live in the country. It is crushed rocks that are approximately 3/4" minus- all the smaller sizes down to fines. The best thing to ask for is road base. It is the same rock used locally in your area on a road base. Because of that it is very common. That is the rock you are looking for.
thank you!
that is an unfair shovel for people who wants a DIY project.
You are not going from the beginning
If you are trying to educate…. You have a long way to go. Good luck. 🍀
The beginning is digging. That’s where he starts
No size of rock even though you said would say later. So 1 inch rock on the bottom and two inch on top? You said you were going to show how to slant the base so you have rain run off. Why not. If you say something you should follow through. If you leave things out are you assuming pp know this Then your title of the video should be this video is for pp who have does this a few time. You didnt "Proof read your video," I would give an E.
