Great video, I’ve learnt a lot. I’m a first time block paver layer. I’ve just laid an L shape path around the back of the house which I’m really chuffed with, it’s turned out amazing. I now have my drive to block pave, (approximately 150 square meters) so I’m watching as many videos as I can, to learn as much as I can. 🙂 Anyway thank you, great video I’ve learned a lot. I’m uploading a video of my recent attempt. 🙂👍
Appreciate the comments and glad we have helped you.Soon as you up load your path video ill jump over to your channel and take a look good luck 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I’ve already uploaded a couple of shorts, if you are interested. Would love to know what you think. 🙂👍
I am an enginer and quite a practical person, and have been watching your videos. So I feel confident I can block pave my youngest son's drive commencing 13th May, which is about 8m x 7m.
I will try and make a video so you can have a laugh. 😅
I definitely wouldn't laugh adrian good that your having a good mate and good luck.

Heat absolutely killed us but we got through it
Send the one armed bandits a speedy recovery
Thanks luke appreciate it was grueling work to be fair ill tell fra.
Good luck next week mate 👍 👊
Not every job is a titanic, but they all look great after your team have finished well done
Nope not all a titanic Project unfortunately. Thanks Lloyd 👍
Probst screeder is ok on larger commercial jobs where you have a lot of screeding but if you knew how to screed you wouldn't bother with screed rails or probst screeder as quicker to set your marks using paving brick and string line and aluminum screed but when using it do a bit at a time pulling and pushing over area a few times before moving on making sure it's scraping rails but another good job lads,using the fine stone or grit for bedding layer comes into its own in inclement weather have a good week boys👍
Thanks for the advice as always appreciate it enjoy the evening before work tomorrow.
Justin 👍

Cracking job guys 👏👏
Appreciate all your comments thanks paul
Justin 👍
Same as you it’s physically draining but we do it for the love of the job and maybe the money 😂😂👍🏼
Cant moan but its bloody hard work in that heat Jimmy isn't it 🤣👍👊
Brilliant work 👌
Tobermore is local to me and they make some beautiful products 👍
They certainly do Marty great company that invest money back to develop decent products
Thanks as always mate
Justin 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I would buy a lot of their discontinued products cheap and stock them for upcoming jobs, mainly border stuff and sets etc,
I would also buy the odd seconds from them but only colour fault seconds, I don’t like the stuff with blemishes etc, I get these for around £7-12 per square metre depending on the actual product…
@@Martymc7585 benefits of living close a mate 👍 👊🙂
Very nice job mate👍🏻
Thanks appreciate it 👍
Cracking job has all ways boys
Many thanks Danny mate 👍 👊🙂
Another cracking job, lads....I do agree with the clients though, the boundary wall finish didn't look right with the rest of the job....needs toned down a bit! I know how you lads feel with the heat and humidity the last while back, I felt like a burst balloon come Friday night...fully recharged for tomorrow morning again though! Grudging congratulations to Wales for qualifying for the World cup as well ;-)....your lads did to Ukraine what Scotland couldn't do. I was at Hampden and it was one of the worst performances I've seen in years from us. Enjoy the finals this winter!
Totally agree on the wall Jim.We got the colour they chose but it wrong problem is the stuff isnt cheap .we've been back to Johnsons who have toned it down a lot for free for us so see how it works out.
We lost to Scotland a good few timea since the 70s with some crazy ref decisions so was our time first time since 1958 in a world cup first time watching for many of us .i would of supported Scotland or any home nations as i always do but this time its special for us Jim
Good luck Scotland will bounce back mate 🏴🏴👍
Hello Brickright team, great videos. I just have a query about whether you can lay block paving on a sand and cement mix? I've got a bit of a height constraint on a concrete path leading to a driveway (the conc path can't accommodate 25mm-50mm sharp sand to lay the blocks in, but I can afford about 10-20mm for a bed of mortar). Keep up with the great work and videos
You can lay block paving with mortar but only as a rigid paving system not as a flexible system which is normally seen in the uk.
Check out this web site for the information you require.

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping thanks for the quick response
@it'sjpere
Your welcome and good luck
Hi Justin. Have you thought of buying a tipper trailer? I bought a trailer recently and it’s a life saver for situations where I can carry separate materials in the van and in the trailer and the same time.
Hi Ben
Thought many times and if i had a place to keep it id definitely buy one saves you so much but ive no room for one .👍🧱🧱
Hi Justin, when you go over the finished pavers and kiln dried sand with the compactor are the pavers sitting proud of the finished level? And if so by how much? We are laying a patio …..Eeek 😧 ! And not sure if we lay them to the finished level and just sweep the kiln dried sand in rather than mess it up at the final stage. If it wasn’t for your videos we wouldn’t have got as far as we have, so thank you to you and your lads 🤗
Yea if you have followed all the other steps in the installation process i usually lay the paving about 10 mm higher before final compaction.
Good luck 👍
Solid!!!!!🏆🏆🏆💯💯💯💯
👍👍👊🧱🧱
Hi Justin you and Brad have done an amazing job on the driveway and the curve on it and the Tobermore is a great looking block ! Do you think the blocks on to the pea gravel will be the way to go from now on with drainage problems and also up here in Scotland I have seen driveways we have done the sand freeze and cause the driveways to lift with the frost in the ground ! Do you thin the new screener would as effective with sand ? Congratulations on Wales qualifying for World Cup I will be cheering you on 🏴🏴 Thanks for upload great job and hope Fraser wrist heals well !
Thanks John
Having used sand for many years .I think the 6mm is a better system. Water and bad weather won't effect it like sand some sand has arrived on site soaked not now with the 6mm. Water will pass through and you will not get any separation of material. Good point about the freezing and rasing the blocks its not gonna hold water like sand is it John.
The sceeder will work great on sand but again the wetter the sand the harder it will be .The screeder is brilliant by the way a game changer.
Thanks John great points there mate.ill pass that to frazer cheers enjoy the weekend
Justin 👍 👍
Lovely job lads
Wishing the one armed bandit a speedy recovery
Heat over last week or so has really wiped me out looking forward to my holiday in sunny Rhyl in a few weeks
Thankyou jo
Ill pass it on to frazer appreciate the comments as usual. Enjoy Rhyl mate 👍 👌
Any chance you boys work in Bristol ? Great work
Bit far for us sorry mate 👍
Hi I just want to know normally what type of concrete or Mortar do you use to bed driveway blocks edges. Thank you
Concrete mix of 4 parts sand 2 parts chippings 1 cement. 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping thank you so much.
What are the brackets/supports called that were used to elevate the 6x6 posts? Potentially looking at using some for when I build a pergola.
Galvanised Concrete in"U" Shape Post Support Heavy Duty for 150mm / 6" Inch Posts amzn.eu/d/1knqQpZ
Good luck 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping ah you’re a gent thank you! 😎
@@FraserJess your welcome 👍
Lovely work lads. How u find the digger breaker attachment? I use my 35kg Hilti and it’s a back breaker might use this way now on!
Hi Wazzy
Appreciate the comments mate.
Yea the pecker is defo a good tool buts it heavy to change over .Apart from that its very good much easier work 👍👊🧱🧱
Deliveroo whent straight past Brad on his bike, I thought he would of Rugby tackled him to get the food!!
🤣🤣🤣 brilliant Malcolm he probably thought about it 🤣🤣👍
Let Brad deal with the neighbours!!🙈
All he'd have to do is sit on them malcolm 🤣👍
The fat sweat haha I’m slim and sweat like a waterfall in the heat doing outdoor work hahaha. I’ve pack down my bra its all good
How would you compare laying block on the 2-6mm gravel compared to the sharp sand in terms of durability long term etc?
Michael i think its a better product long term ive spoken technically to marshalls who recommended it to me along with others .
👍👊
Alright Justin, just wondered is that
6mm - dust or 6mm clean chippings?
6mm clean Joe 👌
You could get the gravel delivered in a skip.
Good idea that thanks appreciate the tip 👍
Hi Justin may seem a stupid question but its a general question. Do all eco channel drains need a drain to run into. Because I've looked at some in my travels at various properties and some appear not to be connected to a drain. Am I talking gibberish or is this sometimes possible. For example could you run a channel drain across the front of a garage even if its not connected to a drain for the water to run into?
Chris if the eco drain isn't connected to anything its incorrect. A lot.of the drains i see arnt connected to anything. Soakaways are what the drains should be connected to or other drains .on our play list we have examples of Soakaways many watch them for more info .
Good luck 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Cheers......I assumed it was incorrect but like you have seen them connected to nothing....Thanks
@@cleanability 👍👍👊
Camera issues? or is it Brads greasy finger prints
Probably got donut on his fingers 🤣🤣 i dont no Steve 👍
not cheap the probst gear but what a time saver.
Spot.on 👍👊🧱
