This is my goal. Either transition completely from mowing to doing pavers or have a mowing division and a hardscaping division. Obviously, like many people, the upfront cost of the equipment required and the property to store all of that equipment is my biggest challenge. I'm hoping to dip my toe into the paver world this season. As always, great video Tigran...keep killing it!
I’ve been watching this channel for a grip going on 2 yrs. Big T is the shit. Don’t have my own business yet just help out family and friends. I’m gonna make it happen. Then game changer
I remember my first paver job. It was about an 80 ft by 3 ft wide walkway with one mean 90 degree radius turn in the middle. We learned a lot on that job. The next one was easier and so on. We don't do a ton of paver jobs but the ones we usually do are around 300-500 sq ft of patios and walkways.
Been working construction at a company for 3 years, one more and I can take a test to get my license. Working at a company has been the best way for me to learn personally
So this week I really got off on the wrong foot trying to work with a contractor that knows nothing about hardscape/pavers. He called me and asked if I’d take on this project under his small company. So I thought it would be a way in the door legally considering I’m not licensed myself. My request was to put together material cost have the excavation done by either my licensed guy who I’ve used on many of my personal projects or take a chance if he suggested someone he’s comfortable with considering he’s the one with the license. (I’ve found at this point it’s more economical until I’ve got more time running the machines) And last but not least I’m able to not only have all the numbers but also see the final (signed contract) as I’d say a 50/50 split would be fair considering I’m not only doing all the work, I’m planning/subbing out the excavation with his ok/he understands everything that’s going on and knows the sub is licensed/insured. Problem was since Sunday I’ve asked to see the final proposal/signed contract he was pretty much yes in to death then saying he forgot it. To sum it up.. Job started Monday, he never agreed to my guy excavating and took upon himself to hire his son to use a small dingo claiming he knows how to run it witch he didn’t know what he was doing, (not the kids fault) not to mention about 200 sqft of the patio area needed to come down 10” so that really cost more and set me back 2 days. Mind you he collected the check so I had not idea what that amount is. I had to address this as I felt I was working blind with the budget and also breaking my back on a part of the job that was supposed to be subbed out. So I finally had enough and pressed the fact that I wanted to see the contract and he now tells me no. Sorry for the long story, but this has left a really sour taste in my mouth, I’d really appreciate your opinion/thoughts and if you think I over stepped or handled this wrong please tell me as I lost for words right now. I knew this was a bad idea but without a license I was willing to eat some kinda set back just didn’t expect to be put in the dark after the job was a go. Thanks buddy for all your videos I hope to start small and honest with people as I’ve seen so many contractors trying to get over and for fill there promises. P.S this was supposed to be a friend “I know”
You're very smart, and humble gentleman!! Have watched few of your videos, and I see you love to share important info, the no one wants to share, Muchos gracias Amigo, God Bless you!!!!
Very inspirational video, I’ve been trying to start my own business for a couple months now and I’m still not sure what is the right path to pursuit, pavers sound really exciting and money rewarding. Thank you, I’m a subscriber now.
Keep learning from you every day bro I'm just 22 been painting house's and I guess I'll stick to it bless and thanks for the ideas every day love seeing what you do ...
Absolute fire video. Thanks for dropping your wisdom, got a big paver job coming up 15K and didn’t have much info on how to proceed now I feel ready to go
Awesome video been in the lawn maintenance for 5 years and want to change things up I would really like your advice to get to a next level in business Good job and thanks for the videos
I love the idea of getting sub contractors from the supply store but how do you convince them to do the work for a day of labor when they can make more money doing it themselves.?
I’ve been watching you since 17k you’ve inspired me into starting my own landscaping company while in college studying construction management. Thank you for all that you do and keep doing what you do. Hearing your story really resonated with me when I was at a low and you inspired me to achieve what I have achieved today!
Very helpful T! What kind of pavers do you prefer? Is there a company in your area that you work with all the time? Down here Belgard is king so I was wondering if you use something else?
How do you get capital to get a setup including truck trailer and what Equipment you need If you could make a video on a setup or what you need that would be great?
I cant get more than $7/sqft for pavers or turf (82oz). Im in Phoenix. I don't get it! People are crazy over those prices. How do you get $10 - $15/sqft??
Hey so I start doing lawn care & landscaping 7 months ago but I would like to do lawn care,landscaping,hardscaping and tree remove once I get my llc but what would my company have in the name would it be landscaping or something else
I just want to pay others to do the job for me. I dont mind paying a little extra! Long as they have great work ethics and loyalty. Hard finding employees like that. But I'll continue to keep my eyes open!

Bro, you can always use a rental company and build a relationship with them
Got my LLC and now starting my own business, just from watching your videos. Very motivating man!
How’s your company doing I want to start my own as well
Same here!
How's it going
I’ve been watching this channel for a grip going on 2 yrs. Big T is the shit. Don’t have my own business yet just help out family and friends. I’m gonna make it happen. Then game changer
I’m 17 and I love taking in all the knowledge from your videos! I am going to incorporate pavers in my business this year!
Exactly what I needed to see T!!
What you just said is worth a million.. you are honest and a true instructor..!
You can also rent equipment and get things dropped off from a supply yard sometimes. Keep your options open but it does add to your cost.

nice! walkways charge more they are difficult to do.. lots of cuts
Great video T for the newbies. I’ve been doing pavers for over 20 years and your spot on!
we on it!!

I love the idea of getting sub contractors from the supply store but how do you convince them to do the work for a day of labor when they can make more money doing it themselves.?
Group chat with you, your foreman and homeowner is smart!
Thanks have a good day
Can’t wait to see you make 100k subs. My goal for my business this year is to do 500k.Let’s get this money!
Down in Memphis TN! Pavers aren’t so big down here... But I just put a bid out for my 1st pool.. 🤯🤯🤯 And im about to shit my pants lol
Here in central Mn we don’t install pavers for less then $30 per sq ft
Damn I'd like to charge that out here in Arizona, we can barely charge $6.50 a sqft without being turned down by the customer.
Welp you just gained another subscriber 100k here we come!
Truck video was da shiiii lol. Spot on when you were talkin about truck reviews and the guys that do them have no character.
I’ve been watching you since 17k you’ve inspired me into starting my own landscaping company while in college studying construction management. Thank you for all that you do and keep doing what you do. Hearing your story really resonated with me when I was at a low and you inspired me to achieve what I have achieved today!
I’m taking construction management too 😄
How’s college going, I’m planning on going the same route?
@@JuanRodriguez-ip9qv I'm 20 and want to go that route to but can't find a college that offers construction management
I always wanted to do pavers since my first land scape job

Very helpful T! What kind of pavers do you prefer? Is there a company in your area that you work with all the time? Down here Belgard is king so I was wondering if you use something else?
Good advice for those who are interested
I don't understand, why did it take you guys 3 days to finish the job?
How do you get capital to get a setup including truck trailer and what Equipment you need If you could make a video on a setup or what you need that would be great?
Knowledge is power
