This is the best video I have seen covering all the stages of preparation and paver laying. No nonsense and clear logical instructions interspersed with a touch of humour !! Weel done.
great video never thought of all those little details that make the work of leveling stuff and having the edge stones not collapsing with the sand. Definitely uses a little cement based mixture on the side of any patio/walk way if i ever do this type of stuff.
(**A note on the edge pavers**)That "haunching" will only support the edges if the pad is as it's shown; which is an entry or landing pad outside the door or any area with very light traffic. If you're installing pavers where there will be heavy traffic, you would have to install either metal edge bars or at least 6" thick concrete (not mortar) edge to keep the pavers from coming apart at the edge. Great video.
Quick question - after haunching you said to wait two days before compacting. Wouldn't the plate compaction drive the pavers lower into the sand breaking the haunching? I'm completing my project soon and trying to figure out these last steps. I appreciate any advice!
Peter puts his beer down @14:13. When we cut back to the empty chairs @14:23 the beer's gone! Seriously though, entertaining and informative video that I wish I'd seen before I laid a patio with concrete slabs years ago.
Painting and decorating is simple ? Hmm , I’ve corrected some appalling paint jobs over the years. Some people have no idea how to prep surfaces to achieve a quality looking and durable finish.
Can we mix jointing sand with dry cement to fill the gaps then wet it after? Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
Thank you guys for posting such a great video with so much detail! I used all methods mentioned in this video and I have a great looking landing that is 20 square metres at the back of my house!
looked good, lots of great info. for me, not sure i would plate compact on top of jointing sand makes me nervous i will leave a stain mess.. guess it better be darn dry! also the haunch is good for those small pavers but i'm using much larger 14" square, 3" thick so best i beef up the haunch more.
Hi, Thanks for video. May I ask you I have prepared my base with road base and compacted it well. Does it have to be 100 % level. It has few high and low spots at few places that I am not able to rectify to 100 %. Would adding pavers sand on next step not fix these few spots. As I am doing 2cm thick sandstone pavers installation how much would you recommend that pavers sand should be poured in. I was thinking 2-3 cm. Please share. Thank You !
Peter if u read this message can u please come to my house and help me with my pavers in my mums garden?? Its a very awkward landscape and I've got everything i need but I cant progress any further and I'm trying to complete it so my mum can see it before she....I live in south auckland
I assume a "whacker" is a compactor? If so, how do you attach a piece of carpet onto a plate compactor? Which side of the carpeting should be making contact with the pavers?
Not sure how flex pipe works for screed rails lol. I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND using galvanized 1” pipe for this part. Plus, without a containment border the sub grade will just fall out from under the pavers.
Wanting to pave a small enclosed backyard. House entrance is facing east, out in the yard there are two walls on the east and south, a retaining wall on the north, how would you set the slop to direct the water away from the house? Thanks
Fuck the standards on Sheep Island are pretty low. That paving will sink into the stormwater or sewer pipe trench after the first heavy rain. The smarter countries use concrete under the paving, quicker and easier. Then compact sand. Use 25x25 aluminium rails to screed off or screed using profiles like a concretor. Pre cut your halves and use straight away. Use dumpy or laser level to set heights quickly and accurately. 6/10 for the sheep shagger.
Unless it's parmeable paving it could be laid level. But yeh high point near the house and chase height round the house level 150mm bellow FFL OR VENT height to stop dampness. Set your runs on a turn of the bubble away from house. If It has to run in towards the house for any reason put in a gravel strip or if it's a big area that could shed loads of water then put in acco channels. They videos are all bollocks. Correcting lines that run off??? Set 2 lines up and set them square and lay up and out along the lines checking them every now and then. Blocks should be laid tight to keep the bond strong.
Because they are working off the string line which is their finished height ,gave it 30mm fall but still 65mm below the string line which is their finished height
I'm a kiwi myself and I love the accents. You could *probably* talk a little faster - I feel like I'm watching an episode of Sesame Street where adults talk really slowly and say things with lots of emphasis so five year olds can understand them ;-)
Dont use plastic pipe or any pipe use 3mm thick by 30mm wide flat bar and use your screed bar and level to get lines in first then sit strips on top less work and quicker
Is there any one who can suggest me what all things to be kept in mind when constructing a tank. the tank will contain corrosive liquid and it need to be liquid leak as well as gas leak proof. Please suggest me some.
6:00 - Not sure why your comment isn't a link to the direct spot in the video so just adding it again to save myself (and others) having to find it. Thanks for sharing originally!

Best video on TH-cam for paver installation.
The attention to detail is truly appreciated.
Finally, a paver installation video that makes sense, and doesn't gloss over how to level the base material. Good job.
They glossed over how to compact the corners though.
@@bravo2966 Also what happens if after compacting it doesn’t go the 10mm that you thought it would
Old videos like these still explain it better
Hands down the best video on youtube for pavers. Of all the videos this one shows the importance and how to of grading a base. Thanks!
That was a really good instruction video and will save it and use it when I do paving. What on earth would I do without TH-cam lol
Very professional men who know what they're talking about.
nice job. I will recommend your video to my customers.
we are a paving block machine manufacturer company located in Turkey.
Finally found a video that shows how to lay the screen bars...... best subject video on the tube...
Peter is a nice guy and a professional! Good job!!
By far the best video I’ve seen for pavers. Thank you

Order in Chaos yep I’m in cold climates that concrete will just crack and ruin the job . I always use edging instead

Not all correct but in general not bad. Probably the best one on youtube so far.
Very informative clear and precise demonstration. Much appreciated. Thank you😷
Best "how to video" on youtube
excellent and done with humour......great job

I noticed that too haha!! Great video overall though :-)

Nice job guys. One suggestion - don't use plastic pipe. 3/4 to 1" Steel electrical conduit works great and does not flex.

What a nice video for learning how to install Pavers! Thanks a lot for sharing.

@@oscarivanvallejoprieto9275 why?
@@oscarivanvallejoprieto9275 yeah how?
Well Thanks to you. Added a new skill. Very well articulated.

Great video. Excellent walk through of the process.
I really enjoyed watching your video,Thanks guys, great video!!
Excellent work and excellent details
top job fella,s thank you from down under.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

Perfect Video..... And not even one " DISLIKE ". Lol
Great Job I'm going to try this
Nice job 👏👍

You could slope it towards the retaining wall, there should be drainage installed. Or permeable pavings.
so much work but pays off at the end.

nice work. well done boys
A 2.5m long screed with a spirit level in it will save you time and strings... Only string you need is the one to keep pavers strait.
Thank you for you time and shering
How come your driving on the wrong side of the car?
i bet Shelia loved it
You don't bother compacting the sand?
Aren't you supposed to lay the pavers at a slight off level away from the house for correct water shedding direction?
GeneralMartinus 1in ever 6ft I heard.
GeneralMartinus 10mm per 1m as per 4:20 in vid
+GeneralMartinus 1 inch every 8ft? 1/8th inch every foot
Some people just don't listen.

The acting is excruciating, but the advice is solid
Great vid! Thanks!
belissimo trabalho,parabéns.
Good work
Good vid, but I wouldn't use pvc pipe for screed rails they flex, use steel, and attach carpet to the wacker when going over the pavers.
amazingggggg ! good job guys !
Very well done! Love it!!
One question... How can you have 65 mm at both ends if you dropped by 30 mm (pitch) at the front end?
Because they are working off the string line which is their finished height ,gave it 30mm fall but still 65mm below the string line which is their finished height
fun and informative thanks guys
great video. will check the site soon :D
Information and funny, thanks
Thanks for the tips
Great stuff.
Good job

Where is your compacted base?
8:04
here you go Rob
Thanks 🙏
Why didn't you wack the sand too?
or you can just pour concrete 1 base no sinking or settling
Holy shit mate! I did it damn right the first time and I was mighty drunk
your sub base must have six inches of misto, in top that no less of three inches of sand ,i like your operation.
just made you 1000 likes ....good video wish you would have said inches too i mean your are using a american tape...everything on point ....
I prefer using metal scaffolding tubes

Now thats professional
First time seeing a mm measuring tape
Don't use plastic pipe that bends, use rigid metal pipe, you bloody dingos!
Oi, use the compactor before you sand, you made a right mess there, mate!
Yer as blind as an Aussie bat with syphilis, ya braindead dingo!
He used compacter before sand u numpty
Great!
