    You should add led lights in between the pavers

    nice var work but given traffic is only a person maybe with a wheel barrow is it necessary? the pride knowing you did it yourselves and savings are massive.

      Thank you - yes, I agree I need to work more safely with the table saw. One of the things I find helpful about making these videos is seeing my own mistakes and getting feedback from viewers.

      I cringed when I saw that. Get the Grr-ripper. Cutting like that is a question of when and how bad.

    How big are the steps and how far apart for the pebbles?

    • @projectreaDIY
      @projectreaDIY  Před rokem +1

      The outside ones are 36" x 18", the inside ones are 48" x 16", and they are all separated by 4.5" gaps. Good luck with your project!

    How many 60lb bags per square?

    • @projectreaDIY
      @projectreaDIY  Před rokem

      These steps were about 1.5' wide by 4' long by .25' feet (3 inches) thick = 1.5 cubic feet. A 60 lb bag is .45 cubic feet, so a shape that size would be a little over 3 bags.

    What is thickness/height of the slabs?

    • @projectreaDIY
      @projectreaDIY  Před 2 lety

      The forms are 3.5" high but are seated into the dirt in places to make them level with the patio. So the slabs range from 2.75" to 3.25" thick.

      It makes the surface pitted, for a different look and to help with traction when you walk
