- How to build a raised paver patio start to finish. We start by building a retaining wall that will be the outside edge of our patio. There was also a landing and steps we had to put in. We used Techo Bloc Blu 60 pavers, Brandon wall blocks and caps.

Im a fan of just pouring a concrete footer with a stem wall pumped with concrete and its done for a lifetime. Probably less work when it is all said and done, but stronger.
I worked at a block plant that stored all the slabs, pavers, curbs and whatnot.. Couple months before the plant closed, over the course of two months, I got my parents around $6000.00 worth of pavers and slabs for absolutely free. Enough for the area around the shed and a walkway to the pool. Gotta love free product.
I love the look of raised patios. Great job 👍
Thank you
Once again, beautiful job!
🏆🏆🏆
Beautiful build. I have a client who wants a concrete porch, think I'm going to build like this with cinder blocks then concrete over everything
Love it. I have a handyman's deck and I would tear it out to build exactly what you have. My back yard is slope after this area and a pool with a wall around it would be phase 2+ 3
Very nice work! That patio will last a lifetime.
Hey Techo Bloc, nice job.... you make it look easy, and it came out great.... I think the homeowner messed up and didn't have the first step out of the house right under the trim.... when we get older, that first step is a dosey... now that you are done, if they wanted to make that kind of change, you would be able to, right.... it would take some tearing apart and reinstalling but doable right.
Well done. A lot learning for the beginners.
Glad to hear that!
Dang... beautiful work guys ! Looks fantastic
COLL/////////////////// Beautiful job!
Thank you
I notice you have some 4 way joints in your pavers. ie: the corners of 4 pavers meeting together. It's best to avoid those so the entire patio is interlocked and looks as good as possible.
Beautiful work. Did I miss the drainage?
looks nice, and solid! i see you said you pitched it away from the house, curious how much, over what distance?
suggestion: a little longer before and after views would give us a chance to admire the finished product, thanx ✌️
Thank you and I appreciate the suggestion. I wanted to get an after walk around shot but it was dark by the time we finished cleaning up. Sun sets about 4:30 this time of year. The patio's 16' from the house to the wall and drops 3". That works out to 3/16" per foot.
ah, totally understandable. thanx for the dimensions, i had a concrete patio poured this summer, they dropped it 2” over 12’ . np so far!
@@danielcolby7293 that's a little more then 1/8" per foot. That won't ever give you a problem.
Need something like that what does material for about that size cost. I'll send a picture of my yard but not sure how.
looks great, thanks for sharing. question: what was the drain pipe for that you didnt talk about ? i assume its just the pipe coming from roof? do these raised patios not require any type of drainage underneath? does water just flow through since no mason mix inbetween or waterproofed? hope these questions are not too obvious?
Nice work. Looks beautiful.
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
It looks smooth and great.
thanks for your video, you give good ideas for my project😎
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Looks great! Total size and cost to customer?
Wow, nice work!
Thank you
Great job and great video! Just curious what the price on a job like this was?
Whats the estimated cost for this project. I can’t decide if i prefer stone patio or trex decking
Beautiful work...like a piece of Art..."How much does a project like this cost about
Awesome, nicely done!
Thank you!
Since you need a slope on the pavers for water run off, do you set the retaning wall blocks leading up to the house on a small slope too?
Great job
Keep posting
Thank you, will do!
For the slope of patio, do you build the retaining wall in an angle as opposed to level to go with the slope of pavers?
How did you pitch it or get water off patio? Assuming walls are level. Awesome job !!!
Thanks for the video. Do you glue the cap of the wall? Do you normally lay all the way up to the wall or how do you handle that?
Yes the cap gets glued and we always start at the wall. That way the cuts end up next to the house
@@srmcontracting should have been more specific, but I meant do you lay all the way up to the wall of the house? Do you need to put any spacing or special prep for that section?
OUTSTANDING!
More videos like this! 🔥
Thank you, this will probably my last paver job till spring. But I have some excavation and a house demo job coming up in the meantime. Stay tuned!
Огромный запас прочности
Как стоянка для грузовиков😅
Did you utilize any waterproofing on foundation of the house?
I believe it would’ve been better ti incorporate the Geo-textile fabric into the second course of the wall. It works to enhance the stability of the walls regardless of this height.
Everything good. But not clear what stones you used for the base, was it all 3/8 clear stone throughout?
The base was 3/4" modified
Nice work bro
Thank you
New to the channel and DIYer. Is that a spectra rotary laser? The blue tool with what looks like a clamp on level,what is it called and where can I buy one? Nice patio.
Yes spectra laser, The blue level is a "screed level". You can purchase at local landscape or concrete supply. I believe amazon has them as well. Thanks for watching!
Dam! A great job 😊
What depth bedding stone did you go with? Looks like you used 3/8" stone instead of sand.
It's 1" depth and yes it's 3/8 stone. Using the stone is nice because the base doesn't need to be a 100% perfect. You can go a little thicker with the stone if need be. Thanks for watching!
Nice job! Would this be the same even if the outer wall were 8ft high? In other words, if it started out around 2ft outside of the house, then went down hill, so that the perimeter wall were 8ft tall? Could you essentially fill in a massive volume with the modified 3/4 stone?
Good question. I would also like to know
Thank you, yes it could be 8 ft tall. But for a wall that size I would highly recommend having an engineer draw it up.
@@srmcontracting Thanks!
Needs an engineer over 5' in most regions. Great video all around 🎉
Great job
its beautiful
I may have missed it but was there any drainage installed?
Nice video thanks. What could one expect to pay for this project completed?
Thank you, every area and project is different. My area pavers are about $22 per sq ft
This is nearly identical to what I had in mind for our house. Do you mind me asking what this cost?
Beautiful work! How did you charge for that job?
Also, what state are you located?
Awesome work brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you
Just discovered your channel! Very inspiring and well done all around… the craftsmanship, editing, work ethic 💪🏼 Keep it up gents 🇺🇸
Thank you!
Could you cover (i.e., put on a roof) that as is or would you had to have planned accordingly and added some sort of pier at the point loads?
Does the retaining wall have a small slope for drainage? If the retaining wall is level on all sides, im curious on how to slope properly? Thanks!
Amazing !!
Thanks!!
Do you glue the end caps to the lower blocks?
Absolutely, that's for watching
I would use chipped gravel called number 9s instead of modified. Way easier screeding.
Nice. Love it
I guess inner part should slightly higher than outter? so water can flow away
I see you didn’t build a retaining wall next to the house foundation. Please reply as I m moving forward with a similar project. If you think a wall might be better than please let me know thanks
For structural purposes, did you need to stagger the blocks as you would a two-sided wall or could you have done it with just the long face to the front?
Very nice In deed
Thank you
How/where did you install your slope away from the house?
The Blue level....who sells them ??
So it’s OK to bury the first row of block halfway with modify? it won’t affect with drainage ? I’m only asking because I’m new at doing retaining walls
What do you put directly under the pavers?
How come you didn’t put any drainage. Thanks
What the heck is "modified"?
We are thinking of doing this at our house. What waterproofing if any is done between the house wrap and paver/base layer? Seems like there needs to be something else there.
The underlayment is supposed to be semi permeable. Also the pavers are pitched enough to prevent too much water seeping through. His subbase(remaining dirt after excavation) is also pitched away and that helps.
Just put in a drain tile if you are concerned.
So is 3/4 modified different from crush and run? I'm trying to get my terminology straight.
They're the same, thanks for watching
are you sloping the wall to match the patio grade?
The pavers are pitched towards the wall and the wall is level. Hope this helps
So does water just go between cracks with no issues?
That screw driver didn't even hit the pin you herd it hit the bottom of the bottom of block ha ha
What size was this. How much for everything?
how do you install railings if need to? homeowner wants trex railing but obviously the top of the cap stone wont hold railing. so what do we do in that situation?
You could core hole drill through the cap down into the block and epoxy the post. That's how they set metal and aluminum railing into concrete.
What about the spot under the door?
is it ok to glue the pins?
Looked like you didn’t put a layer of sand before laying pavers. Is there a reason for that? Just curious.
I used 3/8" chip stone instead. It doesn't hold moisture like the sand does and it's easier to work with.
Why did you turn the saw against the house so all the dirty water from it splashed against the wall?
It's a dustless saw, no water
Same exact any bwter
Badass
Please don't tell me you placed stone right up against the house wrap.
@@Joe-sg9ll there needs to be an air gap between the house and the patio. There should have been blocks retaining the gravel to keep that pressure off the house. Now, there's damp gravel that's probably perforated the house wrap, and the house sheathing is now acting like a retaining wall. You're just asking for wood rot.
Also, what size are those steel bars ?
1" steel pipe (black gas pipe from home depot)
7:32 You are build nice pool
How much was the project?
I'm curious how much this job will cost 🤔
If you DIY it it isnt too bad. Depending on cost of gravel fill in your area you could do this for like $2k
Is that G force?
Brandon wall
Drainage?
How much something like this cost😊
Good job so you don’t install drain in
Thank you, since we used 3/4 modified to fill the entire patio I didn't put a drain. Compacted modified doesn't allow much water to pass through. Plus the patio is pitched away from the house so I would say 95% of the water is just going to shed from the patio.
What is modified?
Where is that gutter in the corner releasing the water now?
To a pop-up drain in the yard
Modified? We call it road base😊
How much did this cost?
Bon catapal
using an excavator to haul gravel is not efficient at all
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅
ахахахах ))
Wow, you could simplify things so much if you had a hydraulic wheelbarrow instead of running back-and-forth with an excavator. Or even a small mini skid steer, no? I see you don’t have any clear stone behind your wall or a drain pipe. Why is that?
Those wheelbarrows are great but you need to shovel the material in and out of them. The excavator actually moves it pretty quickly and I can dump it exactly where I need it. A raised patio is a little different then an actual retaining wall. I filled behind the wall and under the patio with all 3/4 modified. When you compact modified it doesn't allow much water at all to pass through. Plus with the pitch of the patio most water will run off anyway.
@@srmcontracting we all do things differently.
The idea is you fill the wheelbarrows with the excavator or mini skid.
No shovelling required. Then run the wheelbarrow to trench .
Your method of raised patio won’t work in a freeze thaw region, the fines hold water and expands with the frost thereby pushing against the wall.
looks great! how tall before a railing is required?
