    First, I’m an IT dude DIYer…..
    I did the same in 2020, as I called it my Covid project….i dug, moved all the dirt…graded it away from house, added an electrical drop underneath for my guests phone charging and landscape lighting, and I added a French drain for the rainy season…..
    I used paver sand as a base, tempered, ensured the grade and used these panels, which worked great keeping the grade intact….must use the paver edges to keep pavers and poly sand in place.
    My cousin, who is a contractor, who said I couldn’t do it by myself, is FOS…..4-1/2 yrs later, it looks great and intact;
    I also have resanded (very light top cover only) as I noticed some small seasonal degradation over the 4 yrs…i also clean and seal, to ensure that pop.
    The panels work great….spend the little extra, you will not regret it.
    Just make sure you compact your base…and ensure you know where rain will impact, and install a French drain as needed. anyone is welcome to email me .

    Thanks for doing a "progress report" after several years. Knowing the longer term results gives a lot more credibility to the initial install video. It will be interesting to see how well topping off the sand works out as opposed to blasting out the old sand.

    I'm glad to hear the PaverBase system is holding up. We manufacture those panels. More and more people including contractors are switching to them. The savings in labor and warranty claims far outpaces the additional cost of the product.

    • @Scapestoat
      @Scapestoat หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Andrew-dy1xi I hope you took the silence for a "no". Because such panels are designed to absorb a distributed and limited amount of weight.
      Gravel shifts into position, while these panels would slowly compress / bend / break over time.
      I couldn't tell you how long they would last, but certainly not long term.

    The progress report is excellent! About 15 years ago, I installed a 50’ x 3’ paver walkway. For the base, I installed a 4” layer of 3/4” crushed rock, 2” of road mulch and a thin layer of coarse leveling sand before placing the pavers.
    Over the years, our wet, cold winters took a toll, causing the walkway to heave and sag. Ants also built nests within the sand layer, undermining the leveling course and gaps opened up to allow weeds and grass to root and cause more damage. In short, it was a mess.
    Last spring, I removed all the pavers and fixed the sub base but opted to use the paver panels on top of my leveling course. At first, i was skeptical that the product would perform any better than before. I was also concerned about lateral shift that would form gaps between the pavers, but after more than a year, the walkway looks as good today as the day I re-finished it 😊
    In my initial installation, I used poly sand for the joints, but opted not to on the re-installation, partly because the joints were already tight, but also because I didn’t want to introduce sand to give the ants another go at messing up my hard work. Polymeric sand is expensive and may not be needed if your joints are tight like mine are. With good perimeter support (I used a plastic retention edge, anchored with 8” spikes), there is little to no risk of movement, in my experience.
    Two big advantages to this product;
    1. The insulative value of the panels resists freezing of the sub base layer, preventing heaving through wet and freezing winter months.
    2. If I ever need to pull up the pavers to run a conduit or waterline underneath, it’s super easy to take them apart, lift the panels, install the conduit, then put everything back together.
    I’m planning to re & re another walkway on the side of my house next spring using the same paver panels and add a new patio in the back corner of my property with this product.
    This product is a fantastic invention that not only makes the job easier, but builds in flexibility and durability over the long term.

    I have used those paver base panels for a couple of walkways here in South Florida. With our sandy soil, it's common for pavers to sink when done incorrectly. Using the the walkways I have done with the panels are weed free and level, even after 5 years. One of the walkways I did without them started getting wavy after just 1 year. I believe part of the advantage is that the panels help distribute the weight over a larger area, and they help block deep weeds.

  • @reefertw5141
    @reefertw5141 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Hey, i did my backyard using the same paver panels and it's been a year now. Still looks great! No sagging or weeds growing between the pavers. My area was twice the size as yours. I did exactly what you did and just moved the dirt to somewhere else. Some of the dirt i gave to my neighbors. Yes, using the panels costed me more money but time saved from digging up less dirt was all well worth it. Thank you for making an update video. Your paver patio still looks great!

  • @johnatyoutube
    @johnatyoutube 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    Your patio is beautiful and you did fantastic work! As you're saying, as soil builds up between the pavers, you will get weeds, but they can't be deeply rooted with the weed block. In your case, that weed block is also helping your patio move water away from the house so it's acting as a water as well as weed barrier. The downside, as you learned, is that it concentrates pooling as well. The French drain was a great solution to the pooling. You could also create a rain garden at the edge of the patio if you have more slope below it, or even at the end of the French drain to help disburse the water.
    Unfortunately, polymeric sand and gravel only lasts about 2-3 years. You have to keep applying a binding agent to maintain it. You don't need to add sand if you stay on top of it. But, polymer based binding agents are highly polluting - you're essentially putting microplastics into the ground. A great solution to this is to use a cornstarch based binding agent. It is highly effective and will last a full year and won't create pollution. And there are now commercial polymeric sand and gravel binding products available using cornstarch.

    This is very depended on the underground. This works because his ground is good enough to have it like this. Where others might have problems. Like he said, he ain't no expert. yet made a video on what and how it was done. Feels like a amateur cook telling you how to make a 5 star meal at this point. But the review is nice to have for ppl that wonder on the material :) Nothing wrong with the video, he explaines it all very well and has the added info of "not a expert". So no one can blame him if they copy it and it go's wrong. Pure informative video.

    It’s been 4 years since I did my patio and walkway with paver panels. It’s still solid. I used polymeric sand and there’s no weeds or moss. The professionals that did my brother-in-laws patio told him that regular sand was better for the joints. His whole patio is full of moss. Two years later I decided to put in an in-ground pool. They had to drive over my walkway and part of the patio with the machine to dig. We put sheets of plywood on the pavers to protect them. They held up pretty good. I think the panels provided some cushion for the pavers and kept them from breaking. I also did the pavers around the pool with panels. The only difference is that I used 1/4” open-graded base crushed gravel. The gravel allows water to flow freely without washing away. Two years later the pool deck still looks like I just installed it. Also the panels help insulate the ground, which probably helps with freeze, thaw issues.

    Thanks for telling me of the update in your other video comment section. I ended up doing a paver patio last year after watching your video and some others. One thing I did that you didn’t was to use a concrete sealer 30 days or so after setting the polymeric sand. I sprayed it on the pavers and the polymeric joints and it prevents water from getting in. I haven’t had even one spot grow any weeds or grass. I plan to retreat it with the sealer every other year or maybe once a year. Moss likes to grow here too because of all the trees I have so I wanted to seal it the best I could. I spray my chimney with sealer so figured why not spray the pavers too.

    Hi! What a timely video. We used your video as a reference to recreate a paver patio space in our backyard. Like you, we previously had pavers that had moss growth and weed between the joints. The installation was previously done with rock base and compacted but even still, they shifted and were no longer level. We also previously had used polymeric sand between the joints. What is different this time is how we prepared the base.
    I am so glad to see your result 3 years later as a reference. This time, we used the Brock Paver Base panels, and this past weekend, we just finished placing our stones. We need a few dry days to complete the polymeric sand.
    What I found most helpful about your first video was how to skreed the sand. When my husband was going rogue, I kept bringing him back to your video, insistent that we buy rebar and do it right. In the end we bought rebar and I skreed the sand. It was easy!!

    100% the bricks would be wavy if you did a traditional install originally 😂. Getting the sand or gravel base to be properly compacted and not erode away due to weather and load is the most complex part of this kind of surface covering. Even experienced installers are coin flipping it sometimes.

  • @iWitnessTeachings
    @iWitnessTeachings 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Looks great. About the window area, you could add a 3-4 ft/1 brick width pavement just near the window. It would give the illusion of centered. Add a pretty ground cover at the corners.
    But it looks great as is! ❤

    @GraeMatterz 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I used the same underlayment panels for a brick sidewalk 3 years ago. It's holding up well and I get a lot of complements on it.
    Tip for moss abatement and preventative: Broadcast baking soda over the pavers in the fall. I learned this from a roof maintenance crew in western Oregon). They were spreading it over a roof of a motel where we were staying using a drop spreader in two passes on each slope, one near the peak and one midway. Rain dispersed it down the slope. I tried it on a north-facing patio of a place I bought that had a mat of moss about 2" thick. I waited a couple of weeks and tried to shovel it off but it was still stuck like glue and wouldn't budge. I figured it didn't work and forgot about it until the next spring when I had to get something out of the shed next to that patio. I stepped on the moss mat and about fell on my bohunkus when the lush green moss mat tore away from the concrete. Even though the mat was still green and thick the root system that stuck it to the concrete had turned into a black, gooey mess. I grabbed a square shovel out of the shed and easily scooped the moss off the patio, and hosed it off. It was still stained from the black muck but it faded over the summer. I added more baking soda every fall and the moss didn't come back.

    @EngRMP 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for putting this video together. We never get to see a project a few years later. I think you have the perfect application for a patio, and this patio material. What makes it perfect is that you don't have any large plants (bushes or trees) near the patio. If you did have these plants, I think the roots would find their way underneath and buckle the patio. So, I would be very careful about keeping plants far away, or in containers. I agree with others that architecturally it would be more pleasing to the eye to continue the patio to the side of the house. Your shed can sit on top, and you can have plants in containers. I didn't think about the matt material possibly making a spongy walk surface... great to hear that's not the case. BTW, the patio is beautiful and has definitely added value to the house. And, getting that water away from the house saved you 10s of thousands of dollars of problems later.

  • @zenvent
    @zenvent 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I did a similar build three years ago and thought I could add some input. I got my materials from Menards, with the same thickness but larger pavers. Overall, it has held up great. We experienced some sinking, but that was expected due to the amount of material we added. Personally, I can tell there's foam under the pavers-I can feel it if I jump or stomp. However, I don't think anyone else has noticed.
    I'm happy I used the foam panels on my patio. However, if I wanted stone walls and a truly long-lasting setup, I'm not confident this will last any longer than a composite deck. The prep work is also largely the same, but it's easier to manage because of the panels. If you don't do the prep correctly, the panels can't compensate for gaps. Their main advantage is that you don't push sand around accidentally when placing pavers, so if you're doing it solo, it can save labor and effort.

    • @zenvent
      @zenvent 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh to add, when it does sink a bit, what's nice about the panels is they keep the seams aligned at least. Make sure your paver edges don't align with panel seams. In this case, the dip is smooth instead of a trip hazard.

    Good job on this. I also recommend the use of these panels to save time, labor, expense and other people/ trucks on your property for the work. I installed this in a transition area from concrete to paver with no movement after 7 years. I also have done a 80' x 13' drive and rear patio surfaces with traditional 3.5" and 5" areas of crushed granite, sand and pavers. That is a hell of a lot more work and it still has movement. These pads have held up fine on Clay soil and my only regret is they were not available sooner when I did the much bigger sections. I will be using them again in my front walk and you should too.

    Your patio looks great! I put in a DIY patio 11'x 26' a few years ago I went down extra deep from the normal amount of gravel recommended. I went with 10" of gravel since this is an extreme north area. The frost thaw the following spring disturbed the patio so badly, that I had to do something to correct it. I pulled it all up put down the same Gator Base pads that you used. After 3 years now it looks the same as when I redid the whole patio and I am sold on the use of the Gator Base pad. I did another walkway last year 10' x 4' and even though I still put down 4" of gravel, you better believe I put down Gator Base panels again and it did not move at all despite varied freezing rain and thaw cycles through the last winter.

    Hey, this project helped me plan mine. Thanks. On summer 2 of my project and a landscaping friend said I’ve saved about $15k so far. Put about 300 hours in but it’s worth it looking at what I’ve made and happy with it holding up perfectly over last winter (what I had done that far). Cheers

    Your videos are very helpful, I watched your video and built a patio 2 yrs ago and it's still holding up. Thanks for the knowledge.

    I used the same system for a paver path going from my driveway to the front steps and it's been 6 years. The only issues I've had with it is pitting on the pavers themselves due to using salt in the winter but this is no fault of the paver base. It still is flat with no waving and looks so much nicer than the concrete walkway that used to be there.

    wow thanks for the follow up! I am doing the exact same project under my deck so there will be cuts to do. But, now I am more concerned about plant growth since it is under the deck.

    on my pavers in FL where they get shade and obviously tons of rain I just spray em with prodamine quarterly and never see any growth that way i never have to worry about messing up the sand or the base... good work on your patio

    Nice job man! I didn’t see the original video but I’m glad you followed up with everyone. Never done a patio myself but I may try it after watching this.

    Good enough for the girls I run with. I have the same concerns as you about back breaking labor since I don't do this for a living. I'm too cheap to pay someone the extra money to do it for me because I'm not made of money. I'd love a professional patio, but I also like being able to pay my mortgage. I'm only doing a 12x12 with a budget of about 1500-2000 dollars.

    I used the PaverBase/sand too. I was so much easier than doing the gravel/ sand thing. I did make some mistakes though. my slope is 1" every 10ft and I forgot the polymeric sand at the end. Four years and the patio is fine. I do get weeds, but they're easy to pull-up. Maybe I pressure wash and do the sand someday; so many other projects to do first though.

    Bravo! Well done. I like how you seemed to have researched well the process and then decided on a practical method for you. You really didn't take any shortcuts that would have come back to bite you.

  • @mirmir9806

    YOu could just drop some pavers on that area under the window to give a visual of an extension. Or maybe a rock garden so there isn't such an obvious harsh contrast between the pavers and the dirt. I am going to do my patio this summer and will use paver base panel. THanks for the instructional video.

    I used the same products to build three patios. Two smaller for placing benches around the yard and a larger for a small table and smoker. Mine are doing well 4 years on. I highly recommend this process. Move work on yours.

    Solid job man, I watched your old video a couple years back before I did my patio.
    I also used the paver panels and they've been great. I'm going to try your poly sand hack...I just can't get the sand to stay in there well. Part of me thinks that as I pour the sand in and vibrate the pavers, since the pavers are sitting on the paver panels, the poly sand slides in underneath.

    Very nice. Great job on the original video and this one.
    You mentioned 30 Second Cleaner. It's basically just bleach. Sodium hypochlorite, bleach, is the main ingredient according to the material data sheet. Just an fyi for those who might be considering purchasing it.

    If you really wanted to line up the door, but not do the whole place, you could put one extra row of bricks just to the BBQ shed. That's the shortcut I would have done, at least. The patio looks great! I'm glad it's holding up!!!

    The patio looks great! I'm so glad I came across this video! I had no idea these panels existed. I've been thinking about building a small patio, but I've never done it and thought paying someone was a little out of my budget. I'm inspired to try myself!

    Move the potted plant in the corner to the center of the left french door (window). then the left edge will look intentional. It will also add interest to the french doors from the interior.

    Looks great. I did a similar job in my backyard but used porcelain pavers instead. Same steps as yours. Looks great so far. Hover time will tell once I also go through a few seasons.
