Finally someone shows how to do pavers from start to finish! Plus includes measurements of 3" gravel, 1" sand! Easiest video I've found to comprehend! Next question is what's the math formula to determine how many pavers are needs to complete the job!
@@joallg thanks for the formula! Who knows, I might not be the only one who needs it! Just the only one w ho thought to ask before going to buy the pavers!
This is a do it yourself show, this shows that it is easy to accomplish without having alot of experience, just a little direction and your good to go. also will give tim the confidence to expand on it later on his own.
This is probably the best and most comprehensive video I've seen so far. Even the ones that the paver companies made are not as informative as this one. Thank you very much!
I just got done putting down a 400 square foot patio with a retaining wall. I watched this video at the beginning of the project and this video definitely shows you how to do it right. I followed his method exactly and it worked great. Thanks Ron!
When you do paver stones, there should be a slope of about 1" every 8' of work area, moving away from the foundation of a home. You want to prevent pooling of water if you're in a zone with a lot of rain and freezing winters. Your base material is what you make level (making the ground even) and you would use line levels to make sure its level laterally.
I love this brilliant ideas! The features are glamorous and very pleasant. This will gonna be one of my preferences. Thanks for the effort and knowledge!
I like the way he leaves out the fact they are crawling and kneeling all over the nice flat sand and how to correct that on the fly. Conveniently left out I would say.
You should always try to screed a few times back and fourth even just for half of it to make sure there is enough sand. You should also 'click' and 'drop' your pavers, NEVER drag them on the sand if it's too far away from the other pavers. Stay away from standing on the edges of already laid pavers if it isn't complete, you will make them shift. You should be compacting the stones on top after you sweep sand, continuously sweeping in sand in until all joints are filled even after compaction.
Laying in a dry mortar base is best. 2-3 inches thick. Spray the pavers with water when done and they'll never shift of move!! Never use sand because they'll settle in time and be uneven!
No wonder my mom has a jungle growing in the cracks of her patio. She said they just put the pavers on the dirt after removing the grass. Man....I got a lot of work to do at her house.
TheYzeman i pulled the weeds out from between the cracks, poured vinegar and salt in the cracks and most of the weeds do not grow back--maybe three weeds in a yearl
the vinegar and salt kills the weeds and also keeps them from growing. i pulled the weeds just to hasten the process. weeds can spring up from underneath but also sprout seeds from on the top. be careful to NOT get salt and vinegar on grass or other vegetation you want to keep or where you grow desirable things.
Perfect, just what i needed as I'm redoing an old brick patio on the outside of my house. It's a 9'x7'. The previous person just tossed bricks on top of the dirt! I'll be sure to follow this and get the proper materials other than the bricks as I'm going to flip the old and reuse. Thanks Ron!
Don Schlonski which one is this? I think they are just laying it over dirt. Good way to let it become misaligned later o down thebroad. It is no secure. Hahaha. Even a girl knows. Haaaaaaa. I drank.
@@candysubstance1633 well Ron Hazleton did it this way and he has his own home improvement show and advertisers that pay big to be be a part of it. You dont. Yeah hes THAT good
i just picked up some free pavers locally have two stacks of square and your decorastone where did you get those straight eged pavers from the side that you started with as they are not available and i dont see cut marks on yours thx
Just finished mine some very good info, some not so good info. Please don't try to locate your underground utilities with a garden hose. Didn't follow the 3.5 inches of gravel. Because my yard slopes as most do I wanted a level patio for a swing. Mine is about 2.5 inches on one side and 1 inch on the other.1 inch of sand. I was concerned about the gravel depth but after reading web blogs its seems some landscapers don't even use gravel. Also I made a smaller patio for my grill 6- 16 inch squares 5 years ago with about a 1/2 inch of pea gravel and its still level and stable. Final note Menards is the only place I found that sells these pavers called Euro pavers. I like them cause there is no paver cutting involved due to the edge peices. Bad news they are a clearance item at Menards. I had to drive 60 miles to find a Menards that still stock enough of both peices. You will need 140 main pieces and 40 edge pieces since there is no formula, I had to make 2 trips about $70.00 for the stones. Good Luck...
6:30 How did he 'design the gaps' ? This is the first mention of them. How big should these gaps be? BTW he also skipped how he selected the dimensions of the initial pit, which must be a multiple of the paver size(?) + 2 edge pavers + 2 edge anchors.
I am going to put my patio under a tree. Roots may be a problem. I don't think I can dig more than a couple of inches without hitting roots. Will that work? What do you suggest?
If there is electicity wire i would barried it in a bigger plastic pipe. By doing this i can pull and replace the wire in case is need without damaging the surface.
thanks. i really hack jobbed in an air conditioner base upon further review. I'm making up an area that will be exposed now and definitely want to do it properly so it's not hideous for viewing :)
I have the same thing in my patio and the problem is it’s always dirty. The sand isn’t confine to the grooves, but often is loose scattered on the floor. Is there anything that can be done to the groove to keep it sealed?
I'm in the process of trying to build my patio. Here's my problem. It's on a slight slope. I'm looking for a video or something to help me with c leveling issues. The way I have it now there is about a 4 inch step down into the patio in the high side in order for it the be level... That's not gonna work. O have to refill this whole this thing and start again
It doesn't have to be level, it has to be flat, there is a This Old House video on pavers that talks about this briefly, he mentions a drop from the start of a path to the end. Using string lines you can adjust for the slope. If it is a heavy slope then you may need to get into more complex landscaping.
Does 811 comes inside your house and marks any utility?? Coz I called 811 and they only marked outside my property, they did not come inside and did not say anything why.
Re Aschermann: This project did not require cutting, but you can usually rent a stone cutting circular/table saw, or if you are careful, a hammer & broad chisel.

Gotta get myself some Ron Hazelton Khakis~ the khakis that repel dirt, cement, and tar, and surprisingly keeps your hair perfect, too.
=).
Amazing and much cheaper than paying someone else to do it. Thank you for posting this video.
Every time he says "OK Tim" it reminds me of Al on Home Improvement.
I don’t think so Tim
This is a do it yourself show, this shows that it is easy to accomplish without having alot of experience, just a little direction and your good to go. also will give tim the confidence to expand on it later on his own.
Best video I came across. Explains every steps. Thanks
what a great video, thank you so much for posting this and presenting it in a perfectly clear way!
I love your intro - reminds me Home Improvement
This is probably the best and most comprehensive video I've seen so far. Even the ones that the paver companies made are not as informative as this one. Thank you very much!
Love watching stuff like this!
lmao I lost it when he walked over with that baby grill
I love those things, I’ve got two of em and they do the trick!
lol almost Mr.Bean vibe at the end
Lol LOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
I really find this guy helpful. Easy to follow.
All while wearing slacks and tucked in shirts! Good video sir.
Thanks this is a wonderful job!
Great Video ! Short and sweet w/ all the important basics !

How long did it take you to do this job? I'm doing 400sqft my yard and planning to do it on the weekends with a friend.
Great help...Thanks so much. I could not have done it without your help.
Steak?. .. HOTDOGS! Lol.
That's how I feel most of the time when I help my friends and family with landscaping.
Too funny

You are the man Ron. I'm getting my shovel and I'll let you know.
He's like wtf I helped you the whole day for HOT DOGS?!?!
I love how the client does everything
I love this brilliant ideas! The features are glamorous and very pleasant. This will gonna be one of my preferences. Thanks for the effort and knowledge!
Great video! Easy to follow instructions and great tips for smart working :D
I like the way he leaves out the fact they are crawling and kneeling all over the nice flat sand and how to correct that on the fly. Conveniently left out I would say.
As soon as you do this in your own backyard and gain confidence once it’s done, you could start a business doing this.
You should always try to screed a few times back and fourth even just for half of it to make sure there is enough sand.
You should also 'click' and 'drop' your pavers, NEVER drag them on the sand if it's too far away from the other pavers. Stay away from standing on the edges of already laid pavers if it isn't complete, you will make them shift.
You should be compacting the stones on top after you sweep sand, continuously sweeping in sand in until all joints are filled even after compaction.
Do you need to compact the sand underneath the pavers?
Worlds smallest chilling spot !
Laying in a dry mortar base is best. 2-3 inches thick. Spray the pavers with water when done and they'll never shift of move!!
Never use sand because they'll settle in time and be uneven!
Just found this... Thanks for the detailed video

You make everything look easy even though it isn’t
Looks good guys, well done!
How many of those bricks or block puzzles did you need for that space?
Can you guys name the bricks you all used please? Style etc.
Wow !! You guys make it looked so easy. Thank you.
Thanks, this was very helpful
wow 1.2 mil views... i guess youre the reason i do over 50 patio repairs a season
Winston Poindexter thank you
Winston Poindexter they are cringe
What's wrong with how this was put in?

Most people would be happy to help with a project at their home.
This is a great vid. Thanks for shearing it.
What was the purpose of the conduit? He said it would all make sense.
extremely helpfull video and funny...Thank you very much guys.
Great video, thanks for posting it !?
Ronnie!! I didn't know you had a youtube channel. subscribed.
Excellent video
That guy is doin work in some fancy threads!
Amazingly clean ones, too. Mine NEVER stay this clean!
Beautiful!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wilson: Good points, but you can use standard pavers as edges. It leaves a less 'finished' edge, with insignificant gaps along the edge anchor.
Thanks guys.. this video helped

Such an helpful video Ron, which i have a friend like you.
'an" helpful? "which" i have a friend like you? Learn some grammar and spelling.
Thanks for pointing that out, i major in English but some days my brain can't think out loud. lol
+Tom Wright since you're grammar major, educate me then.
I'll be your friend
Tom Wright lol I know it's a year but this is the fucking Internet not school, im sure you understood what she was trying to say
I am trying to build rock patio under my burn pit..i am getting ideas on how..
i've laid patio's before, this is the proper method, and it looks good. your opinion is flat wrong.
That isn't simply gravel. That is crusher run (abc). It's really important to make sure to order/purchase crusher run and not plain gravel.
Excellent sir 👍
You make it look easy! I'd only work for a choice beverage though...
I am going to put my patio under a tree. Roots may be a problem. I
don't think I can dig more than a couple of inches without hitting
roots. Will that work? What do you suggest?
That’s one of my projects this summer but I will have steaks and beer
I wonder whether Tim really went back and expanded it, considering he'd have to pull up and re-do all of the edging
Awesome video.I need to do this to the edges of my driveway where the grass won't grow.
Thanks. Excellent video. I was trying to figure out how to get the sand level. Using the conduit for a screed guide is a great idea.
Is that 1 inch of sand?
If there is electicity wire i would barried it in a bigger plastic pipe. By doing this i can pull and replace the wire in case is need without damaging the surface.
hey this looks really great!! you didnt use concrete--wow.... thanks so much for sharing!!!!
He really should've used a concrete mix to haunch the edges of the patio with proper edging blocks, that edging strip will pull out in no time.
What if the ground isn't level either side where you lay your wood to check for depth???
Older video, but still solid advice in 2020
Steak? HOT DOGS!!??
awesome! thanks for sharing this!
My back aches just watching this. All that digging in solid earth, no thank you, I’ll get you boys in and make the tea. ☕️
thanks. i really hack jobbed in an air conditioner base upon further review. I'm making up an area that will be exposed now and definitely want to do it properly so it's not hideous for viewing :)
Excellent Tutorial
I have the same thing in my patio and the problem is it’s always dirty. The sand isn’t confine to the grooves, but often is loose scattered on the floor. Is there anything that can be done to the groove to keep it sealed?
Polymer sand
The end was funny....Hotdogs? LOL
Where can I get the corner pavers what store or what website??
thanks for the great video
Good Job my respects to this man hes awsome
What could you do different if you wanted to occasionally, or even regularly park a car on these pavers?
I was wondering the same thing :/
Jukvvhjvsa
great video...this is how im doing mine...thanks
How much did you spend on materials and supplies?
Good job 👍
aww then he wants food too. damn. lol he like a sensei
What do u fill the sides with
Awesome project any homeowner can do and I can't believe it was just hotdogs at the end. haha.
That was a mad TV episode
i like this man

All that work for that tiny bbq lol
All that work for hot dogs!
If you put your mind to it you can do anything on your own
Does 811 comes inside your house and marks any utility?? Coz I called 811 and they only marked outside my property, they did not come inside and did not say anything why.
What do you cut the pavers with?
