    Roger Cook’s crew has prepped for the base of the new front walkway and now they’re putting uniform pavers down in a running bond pattern. The pavers click in together for perfect spacing, which makes the process quicker. Plastic edging goes between the edge of the brick and the yard to hold the bricks right in place. Polymeric sand is swept between the joints and compacted.

    Dang, I want to see how to get the foundation so perfect. That's the real key to any project

      From what I gather from another guy I watch, it's digging down roughly 8", leveling as good as possible, filling in 4" of crushed rock, tamping rock, leveling, and then adding sand, tamping sand, and check for leveling. Lots of work, but beautiful finish. :)

    Roger is so helpful. His tips on lawns has my yard the envy of the neighborhood. I plan on doing a patio next year and I'll be watching plenty of TOH videos by Roger to help me pull it off!

    How about a curved sidewalk? How often (if any) cuts are made on curve for bricks to fit correctly?

    Not many sand/aggregate brick walkways that I would trust - But this looks rock solid - Nice!

    Wouldn't using a weed blower to remove the excess sand be better to avoid hazing?

    I think this was a few years ago (season 38 or 39), Roger retired.

    What brand and type of pavers are these?

  • @desharma90
    @desharma90 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I guess the polymer sand is sort of like a sticky bond that prevents weeds from growing in between the grooves after being soaked and dried?

    • @danielsmit11
      @danielsmit11 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You're supposed to dig down past the level of organic material. Polymeric sand is used because it makes a far better bond than regular paver sand which means zero to little maintenance.

  • @donkey7577

    How thick is the sand before putting down the pavers ?.......

    Too bad Norm Abram is in his most senior years now. That master carpenter put "This Old House" on the map!

      It’s tough when they keep renewing your shows! 😂 and you just keep getting older. If I had gotten a chance to host that show, they would’ve had to drag my dead body off the set to get me to leave.

    Why do some videos with Roger use regular sand instead of polymeric sand?

  • @Wild_Bill57
    @Wild_Bill57 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Roger has retired and ,of course will be missed. He has let it be know that he has health issues that he wishes to keep private. I’m sure everybody wishes him well and hopes his health issues will improve. He will be missed. The young lady ,that has replaced him, knows that she has some large shoes to fill, but shows a lot of energy, personality, and knowledge. Personally, I wish her much success.

    Read where Roger is retiring. He deserves it.

    They did my house with some kind and f stone and they didn’t even know what kind of stone they use and the did a crappy job and the didn’t even finish it. I was so disappointed ☹️

    This HOW TO video kinda missed its mark. The key to any paver job is the base prep and materials used....this video missed presenting this information and showing it being performed/installed. Definitely NOT a This Old House Video of old. I miss the old days.

    NEVER lay pavers on sand! Ants and roots will love it. Always lay them in 1-4mm grit!

      @PragaMaterUrbium No I mean millimeters! 0-32mm goes under the 1-4mm in a 30cm layer! Thats's what they call pack over there.
