Ive never seen this done before and ive been around concrete the last 15 years.. Super impressive! I appreciate this channel more with every video i watch. Thanks guys
I've never seen brick inlays look good in my life until I watched this part 3 right here... I was really skeptical about how it was going to turn out but this is utter perfection!!
As someone that's done commercial development inspections from the materials side, these guys clearly do top notch residential work. This 3 video series shows a caliber of professionalism to strive towards. Literally everything I saw was amazingly done. The material removal, subgrade earthwork, reinforcement layout, framing/forming, placement, finishing, brickwork... about the only thing you can't confirm is whether the air content of the mix design was on point. Amazing work guys, great job, awesome video!
Freaking beautiful work. The attention to detail is beyond reproach. Thanks for the tip. I want to expand the edge of my driveway on each side and this really helps me in my future design and construction
I’ve been waiting for the final part on this job! It’s one thing for a job to look good when you leave site, but only someone with experience would know to edge the mortar to concrete joins - and that will ensure it looks good in the future. Great work!
VERY impressive, as usual. Any reason why one couldn't use full bricks and a deeper inlay/thicker, base concrete placement, instead of cutting them in half? I'm thinking more of a walkway and steps for my application. Many thanks!!!
This is Exactly what I've envisioned for my gravel driveway. Think I'd prefer a chipped slate imprint in the cement, or even a bit of grass showing thru. Need extra drainage here, even w/ installed french drain. Permeable skeleton not quite the fix. My city street is Brick so love the look & can curve where I need to. Thx.
I love the idea of this being a monolithic pour. Because you're right, the brick wouldn't support the weight placed over it as well otherwise. Great foundation engineering.
Wow??!! That driveway came out really nice!! It was very labor intensive but so so so worth it!! Loved the final product and thoroughly enjoyed the video of the whole process from start to finish. Thanks for sharing!! Your guys did an AWESOME JOB!!! 👍❤️👏☺️
Should allways lay the brick next to the hole first dry and then gauge the width of the joints, you can tweak em left or right a little to suite the length of the hole.
Each recess for the bricks will act as a control joint Under the bricks there will almost certainly be a crack which doesn't matter because it is covered
Is it possible to retrofit a brick inlay with good results? As in, cutting channels into existing concrete pads to install the pavers? Or is this something that needs to be planned when the concrete goes in?
Do you guys dowel/pin the driway to the garage slab to tie the two slabs together? How do you feel about that in areas of the country that's prone to frost heav? Thanks for the videos.
A good series, with a nice finish. As you mentioned in your commentary - oiled batten would have made it a lot easier to remove and spacing the brick instead of cutting even so, each row matches. Will this need to be sealed?
After I had my lumpy asphalt driveway removed and replaced with quality concrete six feet wider on both sides I now have the nicest looking home in my neighborhood.

I’ve never been a fan of the look but I like this job. Your boys did great Dave.
I concur

The combination of the color and architecture of the house with the driveway redo makes for a really elegant looking property. Beautiful job!
Yes it worked out nicely

I really love watching you do the detailed brick work on some of your pours.
Thank you so much 😀
Good concrete work is....good! Excellent concrete work is defined in the details. This is the epitome of excellence! 👌🏽
I concur
TY
Your son did a fantastic job. I’m sure he had a good teacher.
Looks like he did
No he did not stop encouraging him
Wow that final product is seriously impressive. Good work fellas

Great job lads, I would have put the brick border across the garage door and end of drive as well if it was my property.
Ive seen that and normaly doesnt do well on the transitions
Cleanest job I have ever seen! Great work!!
TY
Good job 👍, respect from Kazakhstan
Ty
Not a fan of brick in a driveway but I have to say in this instance it looks very nice. Yall do good work!
Wow, thanks!
Really well-executed work. Congrats.
TY
Did you go back and cut lines into the concrete to prevent cracking? Or does the size of the slabs make that unnecessary
Beautiful! From Texas well done!
TY
Finished product looks amazing
TY
Very neat and tidy job! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Another fantastic project! The bricks add so much to the look!
I concur
TY
Best in the West.
Love the detail to the grout joint Pure class

I concur
For your type S,grout do you mix the type S mortar with sand, and if you do what is your ratio of sand to mortar?
Awesome job bossy men 💪💪👑👑
TY
Nice work, very labor intensive for the brickwork. Got to get myself a grout bag also.
Yes
GL
You guys are master craftsmen
Great job
TY
Do u know how many times I checked if u have posted this video... finally... 🙏... I don't know if the video or the voice is asmr...
Not sure
How many?
Work of art man. Thanks for sharing.
YW
TY
Awesome job, lot's of extra work but it looks amazing..
Yes, thanks
New to this channel 😃 really like the work hope to see more
Right on Ruben
TY
Nice place that in a nice neighbourhood. The house looks good painted mission brown.
Yes
TY
awesome project 😊😊
TY
Great job. Always quality work. A lot of attention to detail. 👍
TY
You are a true craftsman 👍
ty
What kind of grout are you using for the brick? Good job guys.
Spec mix
Looks great boss wonderful job done
TY
Wow, pretty slick Dave.
TY
As always, love watching you all work.
TY
Really great work.. looks gorgeous
TY
Beautiful driveway to come home to!
I concur
TY
Nice job like always congratulations
TY
That's a very nice driveway man !!!!!
TY
You do amazing work looks fabulous thanks for sharing
YW
TY
What is your ratio of mortar to thin set?
You taught them well..beautiful job
TY
What do you do for control joints to help control cracking in the slab?
Lots of control joints
Each recess for the bricks will act as a control joint
Under the bricks there will almost certainly be a crack which doesn't matter because it is covered
I've been looking forward to this one! Thank you :)
YW
Is it possible to retrofit a brick inlay with good results? As in, cutting channels into existing concrete pads to install the pavers? Or is this something that needs to be planned when the concrete goes in?
Should be pre planned
Superb that Dave
TY
- That is a beautiful job and design.....
TY
Dude freaking awesome work! Have you ever done a entire driveway out of brick ? With a weave pattern? .... if so I bet it was mucho dinero !!!!
For sure
TY
the brick inlay looks really good.
Does the inlay act as the control joint?
A control joint
Yes
Is this the same process you would use for a front porch? Cement first then brick after?
Yes
? How many shavels of 50/50 do I need for a half bag of cement or a full bag of cement?
Good question
What would happen if you did the brick work first then lay the concrete?
Some people do it that way, I just think its stronger and better this way.
Do you guys do small jobs? I have 2 brick bands that need to be redone.
Sure
how much did this cost? I would like to have a ballpark so that i can save up. my drive way is about the same size.
7500
SALUDOS ODELL. ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE GREAT VIDEO.
TY
Do you guys dowel/pin the driway to the garage slab to tie the two slabs together?
How do you feel about that in areas of the country that's prone to frost heav? Thanks for the videos.
I think in cold climates you need a good deep gravel base
Can you recommend a company in Phoenix AZ to do this for our house? Thank you
I wish
How much weight will this driveway support?
30000
Looks great. What is the average cost for this project? How come there are multiple color tones on this concrete?
Curing out
Good job. Which materials used in bricks do u know sir????😊
Red common
@@OdellCompleteConcrete okay thanks
Amazing, amazing job. ♥️♥️
Ty
TY
Really great job
YW
Can this be poured in a non monolithic way?
Yes but it's not as strong
Can you make the concrete white ? I'm looking to replace my driveway
If you do you'll need to start selling sun glasses
i have done some side walks similar to that but i filled it with black star gravel
Nice look
A good series, with a nice finish. As you mentioned in your commentary - oiled batten would have made it a lot easier to remove and spacing the brick instead of cutting even so, each row matches. Will this need to be sealed?
No sealer needed
Excellent work
Did you wet the brick prior to setting?
Se
How come the saw lines to control the cracks were not done?
The ribbons act as control joints
wonderful work!
TY
Looks fantastic
TY
What is your mortar to thin set mix? What mortar do you like to use?
TypeS
Looking great!
TY
Made that look like hard work. Bricks first tap up, use them as your falls and levels
Not structurally sound
@@OdellCompleteConcrete ha ha im a builder of 36 years your talking rubbish
Awesome videos
TY
Great job
TY
What is the size of the brick?
8x3
Now do you seal it?
Carefully
Water base penetrating
That looks super nice David! Thanks again for this series. Are the grout bags a one-time-use?
No, multiple uses
I’ve never seen it done like this usually I do the brick on the footing before I pour the concrete it’s easier and the right job
This is better
Looks like a great job to me!
Me too
TY
After I had my lumpy asphalt driveway removed and replaced with quality concrete six feet wider on both sides I now have the nicest looking home in my neighborhood.
Awesome
What if just filling it with cement?
That works
Great job!
TY
Can this be sealed
Yes
Part 3 nice
TY
Aaaaaaaand...it's awesome. No doubt Chuck Norris approved. 👍
TY
Dave, what does OSS mean? I see you say it in the comments sometimes
Old School Style
I really like this. I don’t think it would be good for a curved driveway though which is disappointing
Yes it works
How much does a job like this cost?
7500
