Pavers-Mastering the basics
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2024
- We start with the basics of pavers by laying out the string line, determine cut depth, excavate for subbase, put base in 2 lifts, pack each lift, set screed rails for sand, lay out field and get ready for cuts & also Test the ASV-RT-50''s lifting capability-over and over.

It's awesome to watch you guys work. And you can see how your methods have evolved over the years. It's great. Keep up the great work!!!
This is the best channel for stonework hardscape, so many professional insights that tons of others overlook. Surprised you aren't at 1M subs by now! Keep up the good work.
As someone who has been doing this professionally for 24 years I can only say one thing: I couldn't have done it better.
I loved the click-and-drop explanation, cause that is the only way to do it right. Keep it up boys!
This is the best tutorial I have seen yet on paving - you guys talked through critical steps that many tutorials leave out...respect.
as a younger viewer (15) I appreciate how much you were talking and I feel I learn a lot from your videos
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback! Ive got another 2 coming on this project.
Them boys be working hard you see how they dont make each other do all the grunt work they help each other and get it done
11:27 Stanley, never apologize for giving us a lot of information. More information is better! It's great to hear how far you go in detail. You and your team make some amazing videos :) Keep them coming please!
Love you the detail you have in these VDOs. no cuts, no omissions.
This is a “MUST SEE” video for any DIY’er’s . I am almost finished a 16yo x 20’ area and cannot stress enough that this is hard physical work (i only had wheelbarrows to work with). Hats off to you who do it on a daily!
It’s good to see them again! I personally love the educational videos with the talking. It’s nice to have a good mix. Thanks to your videos I was able to do my own patio at my house
Sweet! Glad the videos help!
Thanks so... much Stan and the crew, I'm new to landscaping and I love this career path. These videos are like homework preparing me for the Jobs I do at work. I just learned how to use those screed bars for the base, I was trying to figure out a much easier way to set the height of the class 5 base, and now I know how. Be Blessed all of you...!
Glad to help!
You don't know how much this helps us noobs brutha. I have come to feel like I am part of your Dirt Monkey crew. When I get done with my project which includes a outdoor fireplace I want to send you pics. Not only because I'm proud of the work that this handicap one-man band is doing but because you and your crew taught me so much.
The commentary is why I come here for these videos. Great learning experience every time, and sometimes I say to myself "Hey we used to do it that way back in the day!"
Excellent!
Awesome video, I appreciate you explaining as much detail as you can. You guys do an awesome job.
I personally like it the more you explain a project. The more you explain the more I learn so the better the results. The difference between my first and second retaining walls was amazing. For the second I took tips from your videos. Than you!!!
Being retired and never working in this type of business, I enjoy hearing you Stan explaining what is happening on screen. I worked in a machine shop for forty years so this type of thing is interesting to me. Thanks and please keep doing it.
Right on
This a really really great informative video with enormous insight on what why and how during a paver install. You definitely do not talk too much, i enjoy the way you come in and out of the bottom of the screen to touch on important things as you see them come into the video. Thanks!
Much appreciated and hope it helps! Thanks Eric 👊
These are the best videos. Huge respect to you guys for doing it the right way and respecting the customer. I like the talking and explaining too!
I appreciate that!
Been doing pavers for 22 years. You guys do it right. I appreciate attention to detail and keeping quality craftsmanship alive and well. Thanks guys.
Honestly Stanley, I really appreciate the commentary because you're explaining exactly what's going on and I enjoy learning. So thank you. :)
I appreciate that!
@@Dirtmonkey Stan! Thoughts on Just limestone? No sand is it ok?
Love the video I love seeing how other companies and guys do the same work as me . Can always learn something thanks Stan!!
OMG-- Love how they measure it every single time!! They did the grid with the lines! THIS is professional work!!!!! My husband was up until 1 in the morning doing this for our contractors to show them that they were off!! OMG.
LOTS OF RESPECT FOR SAM!
Filming something you're not good at is impressive, because you know you'll get complains about it.
I respect that a lot!
You go Sam!
Ive been watching you for years and love your project. I and a Forman in the NC area for hardscapes and we use the same general method as you guys. A few things we do differently though. We use SS5 soil separator fabric under every patio. It is somewhat permeable so any water trapped can wear through. Followed by 4-6 inches of ABC amd instead of using sand we use 1-1.5 inches of 89 stone compacted. This stone allows the water trapped under patios to weap out but won't shift over time like sand if the patio experiences heavy weather. Last step is laying patio, tamp and sand it in. The only thing we have used sand for is travertine patios. Love watching you guys work; always something to learn from you guys. Keep it up.
I’m in the process of buying my first house, and will do all my own work in the yard. I can’t wait to pave all around, it should be super nice. Your channel is very informative, thank you so much!
Love the detail and commentary!!! God bless you and your crew too!!
I learned and was able to start my own business just from watching your videos, and your videos are the only ones I will reference to when I need more information
Thank you for talking and teaching me…. The DIY home owner. We have to do it ourselves because costs have gotten out of control. I’m so grateful to have you as a mentor!!!!!!
This guy seems like a great boss. Love this channel!
love your videos have been watching for years. I have been doing lawn maintenance for 20 years and tired of it. Looking to stop turning down paver jobs. Plus taking on those job would allow me to finally hire some help and not have to do everything myself or turn down some work sometimes because I am too tired from doing lawns and seal coating. Love these paver videos please continue and also the snow removal I love too
Then you will like this week- I really cover the bases on pavers
I wish I saw this video a week ago. Brilliant. So informative and explanatory.
I love the details so not stop doing anything that you are today. I have learned so much from you. Thank You
These are great videos! I'm hoping to do 2 medium jobs at my place and these are really helpful. You guys do such meticulous work! My Dad always taught me.."If you're gonna do a job..do it right". That's what I see here.
Man, you have a good pair of workers here!
They work fast enough to get things going, but slow enough to avoid making the really costly mistakes.
It's an important balance to find, but not having to do a job twice, is usually the best.
Your narration is very helpful. Don’t stop with the whys and wherefores so we can learn!
Greetings from Denmark! Thank you for the videos. Learning alot.
Not many people give away so many tricks. I think it only helps everybody (you and others)
Keep it up!
Man! Stanley, I am very impressed by you and your crew's workmanship, and this is coming from a former commercial and industrial concrete contracting company owner.
I have commented on a few of your videos in the past but just to see it again and your crews still banging out proper civil and structural aspects of the jobs is really cool to see. Make sure to zip up those large contracts and get your $$$ in at net terms because the multi-billion dollar GC's and Prime Contractors on 7-10 figure projects will string you out.
Great job again!
Hi Stan ur one of my favorite youtubers i love how u read the comments and reply alot of people dont, thank u and keep up the great content
Stay Safe and thansk for wacthing!
I've been doing this kind of work for 45 years, Good job, a lot of extra steps but a good job!
I’ve been doing’s this for 15 years and I can say you boys push good work keep it up 👍🏽
I like your videos like this you help me understand so much I run a small side business and I have had people ask me to fix areas on pavers and because of your videos i can explain every detail to them about what needs to be done thank you
Thats pretty awesome
Thankyou for all the tips on how to do these projects! I'm getting ready to do a sidewalk and patio in my yard!!!
We just put in our first herringbone patio, turned out great! Learned tips from you guys
I hope every video of yours has narration that’s this informative, thank you
Love the basic videos, Thanks for the tips, Stan and the Crew.
Thanks for watching!
these videos are so fun to watch, because I worked landscaping and we did the exact same work you did just on a smaller scale
Thanks Stanley, awesome information and applications. Keep up the great work.
After 8 years as a mechanic and searching for a new career path , ur channel has inspired me to go down the landscaping path! Thankyou for your videos they are awesome
That is awesome! Best of Luck!
Those mechanic skills will come in very handy, and probably save you a ton of money along the way. Congrats!
Love the commentary! It's very helpful for those of us who don't know it all. Great tips! "Cattywampus!" I thought we the only ones who said that on the job.
Hi Stan, I really appreciate your videos. Talk away! Every little bit helps do-it-yourselfers like me.
Glad to hear it
Very cool to have you explain the why behind the techniques we see. Hope winter season prep is going well too.
Winter season prep is almost done but we are always hovering bewteen the 2 seasons until about Christmas. Then we switch to full time plowing only
Great info as I’m doing my own thing at home and it’s just a small thing but this really helps thank you Stan and especially the hard working crew👍
Thank you for talking alot and explaining the details , I pay attention to details and currently have a landscaping business but I have a goal to get into Hardscaping! Appreciate your help!
That looks so awesome. I like the look of pavers.
I love watching your videos Stan, i always feel like ive learned alot and i will probably use it too.
Thank you Cody!
We will be doing a project like this in the future Stan, so thank you for the running commentary!!! I thought it was very helpful.
You bet!
18 years old watching this , very informative, great video for diy ers looking to take some notes from professionals
“The first step at being good at something, is being bad at it”. I love this 😂😂😂
That would be awesome on a t-shirt. Just sayin. #merchideas
True
I think it would be an amazing shirt
Now that’s a fab vid love watching these guys they are so good can’t wait for next one.
Its coming out today Richard.
Thanks for your vids mate!
Very helpfull and informative!
Please don't feel like you talk too much.
I love the commentary on all the little things.
I recently started my own landscaping business last December mainly for the planting side of things but you have helped me tackle some projects i didn't have much experience with..
I have never set up paving before just laid them for my boss and i took a small patio not really knowing how complex it would be but you have helped me give my client an amazing result 👍
Cheers from Australia 🍻
Takes me back to my teens doing landscaping back home in Louisiana. Laying walkways was absolutely 100% the thing I hated doing the most lol
Awesome Video. Great content and well done!! The commentary along the way is very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
In New Mexico we have weird soil shifts too. Thanks for explaining!!!! I’m so grateful!!!!!
Excellent work, very cool and helpful. Nice commentary too!
Awesome work and loving the taking along side of the video. Thanks for the amazing content and stay safe and take care
Glad you enjoyed it Hayden. Always good to have you on board my friend!
@@Dirtmonkey No problem Stanley and crew and it’s a pleasure being about you guys go above and beyond keep it up. Have a nice day/night friend .
Wow Stan! Your guys make it look so easy! Beautiful!
Thanks so much!
I love the way you explain top soil needs to go it’s amazing how many people don’t understand you need to go down to sub soil.
Thank you!
Stan.. did a massive 700 sqfoot paver patio in my backyard with a pavilion in the middle. Me and my kids watch all your videos and got a lot of helpful information.
That is awesome!
I absolutely love this series!! Keep up the good work man this is super helpful!
You got it!! Love to hear it and happy to help 👊
Stan, I love this style. You are on point.
Thanks Matt
I like you explaining stuff throughout the video helps me learn and understand.
I'll keep it up then. Thanks!👍
Your welcome and thank you !
Subbed for all the detail alone. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Another great video Stan! We are currently doing a similar patio. Always good to watch sam and Blaine!
Right on! and good luck on your project!
I like all the information you give you always explain ever detail keep doing it you all stay safe.
Thanks 👍
Awesome video! Great info, wanted to lay down some pavers where I park my utility trailer and this helps a lot! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work. Thanks for the tips and awesome camera angles
Can we see some follow up videos. I would like to see the yards you’ve graded or walls you built 1 year later. Love your videos. Makes me want to come work with you and your team. I feel like I know you guys. Keep it up. Go get em
Yep- Coming this week.
@@Dirtmonkey also...if you could link the earlier project vidoes in the comments so they are easier to find...that would be fantastic!
I know I have skipped back into the catalog and found starter videos that had additional projects added a year or two later, or you scouted the project and then a year later start working on it. Having those videos all grouped in a playlist, or in the comments would make it easer to watch the progress over time.
It would also get you more clicks and views...a win/win! LoL
Learning a lot from you guys. Love the content. Slowly learning
Thanks for watching!
Keep em coming Stan, love the videos
More to come! Thanks for watching!
Nothing wrong with your talking bro I’m Jamaican and laying pavers is what i fi for a living, I learned so much from this one video and there’s always more to learn cause your methods or a bit different than how we do it in Jamaica but I understand the concept and measurements also your styles which I can adopt to my own work, thanks for the inspiration hope to work in your country soon.
Your commentary during the video was fine, very informative.
Man these videos are so helpful along with my gravely being ordered im also having a house built and the yard isnt very big so I'm using pavers to cover most of it up to my bar that I built
Then you'll love this week- its all pavers all week long hahah
Great video. Man he’s a beast at laying those pavers.
Annnndd subscribed! Great job and thank you for all the tips. I plan on doing something like this in my yard this summer.
You've been such a great teacher, and a good proponent for contractors, yet the DIY homeowners need love too! I think it would also help to understand what you think is the best metric or set of criteria to go from DIY to contractor jobs, and how to save homeowners more heartache (and money)
Nice watching someone who takes pride in their work!
Thank you Sam!
You don't need to see your forks. After a while you just know where they are. With experience, comes knowledge. Another great video Stan.
Very true!
Hey i like your videos! I am starting a paving company of my own and your tips and tricks help a lot!
FYI - You talking through the video is GREAT!!! The more info we can get, the better. Explanations are awesome and if someone doesn't want to listen to you talk, they can mute the video.
Great content & narration Stanley! Always good to watch the A-team at work👌🔥💯
Much appreciated!
and thank you for calling my crew the A-team- thats huge. much appreciated.
Thanks so much! Outstanding video and outstanding paving work! Wish I could hire you guys!
Keep it up boys. Amazing! Learned so much
You guys are amazing great work love the videos
Great video love the detail of how u explain and fair play to Sam for admitting he used excavation for first time much respect for all u guys God bless
Glad you enjoyed it
Great information thanks alot,very helpful and accurate for materials used. Much appreciated!
Awesome channel dude. I’ve learned so much from you.
My first dump trailer not only paid for itself, it actually paid me to buy it. Love it. Best purchase in a long time for our home renovations business. How did it pay for itself? Many times we had a small to medium demo, yet the cost of a dumpster is a few hundred bucks. So now we just use the dump trailer when a 30 yd dumpster isnt needed. Even after labor and dump fees we have calculated that we save about $100 per month from our previous demo disposal costs. Gotta love that
You talk all you like Sir , because everyone benefits from your great video from expert to common joe 👍 Tam.
So nice of you-Thank you!
I love big machines, I want my own. I know this is hard work no mater how many machines you have; nice work guys
Excellent commentary. Very informative
