With the space I had to work with, I accomplished what I wanted. You can find Part 1 here (Making the Patio Pavers) th-cam.com/video/lkBgjl7YsBc/w-d-xo.html
It is beautiful ! She's so beautiful thank you for sharing her I like when she said I want to help let her help she ain't going to hurt anything it's outside God bless peace be with you much love and respect
This is something I have been looking for. Question .... do you not need to use re bar on the concrete pavers? Absolutely gorgeous results and may pinch (steal) some of your ideas for my garden here in UK 😉
A wife would say you are a keeper. Your children will know they have a Dad who is capable right before their eyes. Bless you for showing a good work ethic and a methodical can do attitude.
We need more hard workers deep in their soul like you my friend. Not just a speaking TH-camr. You’re the real deal, not giving excuses and learning at the same time. Showing and leading your kids. Respect!
Yeah - I really liked the part where you let your kid help you dig. If it wasn't for my dad letting me help with stuff I wouldn't do all of the projects I do. Keep up the great work!
This gave me some very happy memories of working with my dad. My brothers never wanted to, but I did. What I learned from him has served me well all the days of my life. I used to impress my late husband because I knew so much about "man" stuff. I am 72.
Hi Judy, I am 64 and I was always with my father and always doing things with him! Fixing cars, building stuff, fixing up the rentals that he used to own. I really miss my father. He was the biggest inspiration in my life. God bless you and yours.
@@rssv1770 I really hope you're joking with this lol. Forced child labor for profit is an atrocious, despicable act. Kids working with their families though, this is the most natural process. Very few countries don't have this happening naturally. We've been doing this since before we were even humans .. it's how the little ones learn, and bond too. When you treat kids like they are competent and intelligent .. turns out, they are. When you treat them like they can't do sh*t ... turns out, they can't.
You call that child labor? Such a snow flake, no wonder kids these days are super lazy and entitlement. If that's the case I'm a victim of child labor since age 7. Lol
I love it when folks have their kids help with projects like this. That is a memory she will have for the rest of her life. Not to mention the sense of pride in accomplishment she will feel every time she shows off this patio to her friends. You are building a lifetime legacy here.
This is my second video of watching you bring a project to life. It's a pleasure watching you and your daughter work together. I did the same with my step-grandfather. Blessings! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💐
Just love what your doing to your home. So awesome. Using the wisdom and thought process that God gave us. Thank you so much. You put a lot of love. A lot of thought. And a lot of work. God Bless You.
Thanks for your videos, Glen. I'm on my own, so seeing someone else doing these things alone (except for the adorable hired help you have) is a real inspiration to give it a go.
I was always with my father and always doing things with him! Fixing cars, building stuff, fixing up the rentals that he used to own. I really miss my father. He was the biggest inspiration in my life. And you will be with your beautiful daughter. God bless.
I love how you address that a project doesn’t have to be completed A-Z in one time. Real life. Sometimes you have to work in stages. It’s good to have a plan so that it looks complete while you wait for the next step in your process.
You have made a beautiful oasis in your backyard, for your family while having beautiful Daddy daughter time, may God bless you and your family, bountifully.
First, what a great job! It truly looks so inviting and beautiful. Working with your daughter reminded me of when we bought our home over 20 years ago. I have many pictures of my husband and our daughter (9 yrs) working together planting trees, shrubs & making memories. My husband died much too early (61) but working with his daughter in the backyard were special times for both of them & me too. Can't wait to see the final touches! I just found your channel for the 1st time today. You've given me some inspiration. Thank you!
Bless him, it wouldn't be ideal to walk back n forth on top of mulch to get to your entertainment space but I understand he did the best he could. At least it looks nice!
Love what your doing and doing it yourself. Your saving a lot of money. Now a days because of the pandemic the landscapers are charging double for labor and double for materials. Good job.
The work that you and your beautiful daughter did was excellent you're right if a child want to help let them help it teaches them how to do things so when they move into their own home they know what they can do keep up the good work tell your little princess great job
You did a spectacular job creating this space. It's exactly what I want to do in our back yard this summer. Especially appreciate your clever way to install large pavers.
Glen, you never fail to impress me. I can't do any of the things you show on your videos but I thoroughly enjoy seeing you do them. And your attention to detail is right up my alley. Well done. I look forward to part 3.
It's the baby shovel for me!!!😍😍😍 it's the tiniest cutest shovel ever! It's great that the baby girl is interested in your trade! She will never be out of work. Ever.
I love everything about this video, but mostly how you were able to get around the restrictions! I feel like you should be able to build whatever you want in your backyard as long as it's not invasive (like a giant tower that blocks the sun from all your neighbors etc), so glad you found a way.
ADHD mom of three exhausted mom here this is my second video watching all the way through and I really enjoy your content and videos and you kept my attention and I did not skip through!! Looks so good 😊
yOU ARE AWESOME, BRO, NO KIDDING. I AM SO PROUD OF YOUR AMBITION AND STAMINA AND YOUR DAUGHTER IS ADORABLE. YOU ARE AWESOME, OH, DID I SAY THAT? GREAT JOB!
I am always impressed with your sense of style, design and common sense approach to these projects, Glen! I also appreciated the mention of local code regarding slabs next to property line. Do you have to pull a permit on something like that? Or some other way to officially confirm the size of your pavers?
Feel like this is one of the most important youtubers there is. Crazy knowledge and determination also a good dad. Your vids make me smile bro, Much love from Aus.
The little mood walk was awesome, given the kind of strenght and effort it takes to do all that manual labour would have totall exhausted me. Respect for the effort and the video!! ❤
The prices you posted are a couple years old. Today's prices would double/triple the costs. But the yard looks beautiful so far. The inspiration is priceless. thank you.
New subscriber here! I'm hooked! The way you explain your process, costs, and even your daughter helping you makes me excited to achieve something like this in my backyard with the help of my two pre-teen sons. So happy I found your channel, it's inspiring. Thank you!
Very nice mate. I love how you always make your projects look effortless. I had a thought of tying the deck to the patio area with some kind of bridge/walkway and perhaps another one from the grass to the patio. So you don't walk over the mulch. Turning the mulch area to a shallow water feature would actually look really good. Love the projects, keep up the amazing work and videos.
Once again you did a fantastic job on landscaping and staging your yard! Everything looks great and I am impressed! As far as letting your child help, I applaud you! That is how we all learn, you are imparting knowledge to your child, spending time with them and they along with you will have a sense of pride in knowing they helped to create something so beautiful. My father had no sons so he taught all 3 girls how to do everything and I have to say it has come in handy on numerous occasions!
I love the results! I have been thinking about doing something similar in my backyard and seeing this kinda makes me think I could pull it off! Thanks!
I did an driveway extension years ago and my harbor freight cement mixer made the job so much easier. I found new use for it by mixing different soil amendments to make my own potting soil. Its good to tackle such jobs while you're still young being a senior citizen is another story.
I had the same thought. The roots of a palm tree will mess stuff up, most people I know who have them in there yard want them gone they tend to be a nuisance. Those squares are definitely gonna crack with no reinforcement especially since you used sack crete that stuff is known for cracking.
@@dylanrampage9360 it depends on the type of palm but generally, no, palm roots do not cause issues with pavers or concrete. They typically get blamed because the pavers or concrete were actually installed incorrectly (incorrect base, etc). It's highly unlikely that a palm tree's roots will damage concrete. The roots for palm trees stay the same diameter for the life of the root.
Dude you killed it that is stinking awesome very beautiful space very well planned a lot of hard work but you got it all done you're the real deal God bless you and your family.
Nicely done. I really like the different angles, with the deck and slabs being squared up to the fence, while having the angled area with mulch. Looks very modern and clean.
When planting plants, make sure you keep the crown (where the plant emerges from the root ball) about an inch or two above the level of the soil. This prevents crown rot and allows you to add mulch on top of the soil without smothering the plant.
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. When I move out of the Midwest to a more warmer climate all year round I have big plans for a wonderful yard thanks to you
You are so inspirational. From a fellow DIYer, (I make everything for my home) and am about to start landscaping outdoor areas. Thanks for keeping me going in the rainforest. Peace & joy from sweet T&T!
I love the "pavers" you made.... This looks like something that might solve a problem for my husband and I ....We were looking to buy big pavers but they are so expensive...I so much agree with letting your kids work....and sometimes we made our kids help us doing certain big jobs in the yard, when they were teens.......They helped then they got to go to their friends houses or do something they wanted. Kids need to learn by example.
You are a hard worker so you need to have a happy evening out in your backyard sitting watching the Palm trees and other plants growing beautiful along with a good dinner good job Bro ❤️ that Area 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kudos to you, your backyard oasis looks fantastic & well worth all the back breaking hard work !! I just found your channel & watched both your videos & now fully confident I can build the forms & do the same. In the past I put down a 12 x 16 foot patio using 2ft x 2ft ready made aggregate slabs. I love how large the slabs turned out so thanks for the great idea & knowledge. This is the next project I'm doing as I have older thick cracked up slabs for a walkway ...yuk!! 🥰🇨🇦
Great work! And keep your daughter working with you, they grow up so fast. Can't wait to see her channel once it hits her -all that she has learned and seen you do!

Hello my friends I'm from Morocco welcome to my channel
This is something I have been looking for. Question .... do you not need to use re bar on the concrete pavers?
Absolutely gorgeous results and may pinch (steal) some of your ideas for my garden here in UK 😉
Part 3? You were going to show what you did between the pavers. I wanted to see that.
Gahahahahahahwhwhwywhwgwgegsgssgsg

Yeap, 100%
That was nice of you to say that bro, Much respect for not leaving a ignorant comment, he’s a awesome TH-camr!
AGREED!

I love that your daughter helps you, it's even better that she wants to ask questions and learn. She's gonna be the next DIY Creator!
Using child labor which is illegal in most countries.
Heck yeah she is!

looks amazing also =best parenting tip ever..."when your child wants to work, LET THEM !!! "
I have never been so proud of a brother that I did not know! God bless you and your talent!
Same!

You have yourself the potential for a thriving business should you choose! Great work overall on all your projects.

Your helper/advisor is a tremendous asset.
I love, love, love how these concrete pavers turned out Glen and I love the plants and trees you've added.
I am so impressed with what I see. You are a serious bad ass. You have transformed that space into a beautiful retreat. How very nice.
I liked the video when watching you instruct your daughter on how to work it, but I love the video for the overall finished look. Great job!
You moving those trees was impressive. This is giving me great ideas for my back yard
Nice job. Looks great. I love how you poured the concrete in sections, making it manageable and subverting the "rules." Nice work.
You did a great job you should be proud of yourself and your wife is probably happiest as heck to. Thank you
Bless him, it wouldn't be ideal to walk back n forth on top of mulch to get to your entertainment space but I understand he did the best he could. At least it looks nice!
That's exactly what came to mind when I saw this. It's great work though
I enjoyed this video esp working with your daughter. It was a great father-daughter moment touching.
All your projects come out so nice. It is always refreshing to see the ideas become reality.
In over 5 years your skills have never ceased to amaze and entertain me! 👏😊
Your choice of the palms and other plants, made the area gorgeous. Very nicely done.
Love what your doing and doing it yourself. Your saving a lot of money. Now a days because of the pandemic the landscapers are charging double for labor and double for materials. Good job.
Glen, your projects are simply gorgeous. Your attention to detail is spot on. I love watching your wood working skills/technology.
Thank you 😅, I appreciate the kind words.
Taking up turf is hard work, especially when it's hot out! Big respect, it looks great.
I love these large pavers. I actually thought of doing something like this. So happy you shared this project with us all.

Haha, thanks for checking back!

You did.a great job. Question: Are you concerned about the trees’ roots growing under the pavers and lifting them up?
I was thinking the same thing, plus the slab is very thin..
@@francoisdesmarquis8548 and not reinforced with metal
