- I took my patio to the next level in this video by adding LED lights between the large concrete pavers. The concrete provides a durable surface perfect for outdoor use, while the LED lighting creates a beautiful and inviting atmosphere. Watch the video to learn more!
In the first two videos, I transformed the backyard. You can check them out here.

Do you think that white rocks instead of black would increase the translucency of the LED lighting, make the separated pavers look like a singular white dance stage, and decrease the visible spacing between the rocks at night? I can see younger family members trying to turn it into a summer Post Covid party!! 🕺 😆 💃
Заебись придумал братан!
What did you use to get the water on the makita
Aye bro I’m a long time subscriber and my woman watches your channel now and she sent me the link to this video I was just about to fill the cracks to my pavers with polymeric sand and now we’re going with the lights 💪🏿✅
I’ll try to get her to tag you a video of our final product on Instagram
I give you a lot of credit that was a lot of work and now you're polishing the concrete pads what's next it's amazing
Man, sometimes I'm like, I don't know about this with some of the things you do, but I hang in and you pull it out everytime. Love the light color you chose for the night shot, the rocks look almost volcanic. Great work.
Lol fr
Kind of like when Bob Ross puts a big assed tree in the middle of his paintings, that you swear is going to screw it up, but he pulled it off every time.
Reddish orange would of been cool too !! Then it really would of looked like lava 👍🏻😆
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ amen.
Volcanic rock would be pretty cool because they would probably glow/let light through from all the holes in them letting light in
Looks like the glowing herbs from Wakanda. Love it brother
I love how you bring your visions to life ! Next Level creations !
Thanks! It's a learning experience for me as well.
First time watching, great vid but your accent has got me baffled bredrin lol. Where are you from?
Exactly, originality i love it.
Dude -- you are a straight up BALLER...... Nice work..... I'm getting ready to do an out door kitchen near my pool area and I'm going to copy your idea for my space.... (and I'm NOT telling my wife.... LOL. She'll tell all my her friends how awesome I am.... ) THANKS!!!
U could tap ur forms with hammer to move rocks back& butter in to fill voids. U could also salvage a little butter of the top with ur trowel after concrete has set awhile& ur comfy with pulling forms to fill in voids. Wasn't sure about the form set up until I seen sectioned.
( Though now I do understand why) .. u definitely have vision. she's a beaut Clark!
Not even gonna lie. This is jaw dropping for a DIY.
Killing it... I can only imagine what you can do with 5 acres... the next Disney I bet...
Good work...
The brightness of the lights make the tiles look like they're floating
Your projects and works are just mind blowing with Amazing skills and final finish 🔥
Thank you so much 😀
Totally agree!
Indeed.
@@DIYCreators Love your work! Do you do work for private companies or individuals?
thats a brilliant idea..i have a load of rope lights i was going to install all over the house but the wife thought it was too much i think ill give your idea a go in our garden :)
The end result looks great plus you've thought about how practical it is to operate and maintain it. Really impressive
Yeah I was thinking that too. Like if the lights dont work all of a sudden. He made it so that you can replace those too.
Beautiful night light setting. Cool, way to hang out in the backyard.
This is so cool!
Looks sweet, on the leds get some deffuser aluminum track, and you won't get led burn.
Very creative! As an electrician I would say that plug you installed should be an GFCI (even if it is ran from a GFCI circuit). Thank you for the inspiration.
🙌
astounding work ,, such an inspiration ...some people are just naturally talented...and you are ..thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Amazing job!!! Love the black rocks, excellent choice. The artificial grass is so expected and that’s what a lot of homeowners are doing. Glad to see you step outside the box with this project.
Man you are smart and very good with describing what you are doing! I wish I could do something like this
Beautiful, Glen! Fantastic work!!! 😃
I've never imagined the LEDs would work this well with the rocks! It's just brilliant! (Actually, brilliant in many ways!)
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
😅 Yep, no limits. Thanks for tuning in!
I love this idea 💡, my sister and I watch all of your videos. Your channel is a must subscribe and I recommend it to anyone looking for ideas.
Love the idea and you did a great job 👏🏼 I would like to try this too but with clear fireplace glass instead of rocks. The lights would really shine through. Maybe a layer of epoxy. Thanks for inspiring me.
I was thinking of using solar powered led lights. I'm not skilled with wiring. Would fireplace glass cost more? Are you talking about epoxy over the lights and rocks? How would that hold up in freezing weather? 🤔 So many ideas into he comments as well as the video. I love it here.
The epoxy is a great idea but something I would stay away from. It’d pretty much make this permanent and what happens when your light strip burns out?
The lights made that project pop! Great job!
It turned out great. I like the smooth concrete look and the RGB LEDs are a great accent. The only other thing I'd recommend is to use a GFCI receptacle for safety rather than a regular one (even in a temporary scenario).
Maybe he will connect it to a GFCI at the other end?
@@redmatrix Fair point
No GFI GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER...!
Safety is important!
put a GFI OUTLET OUTSIDE....
Also use outdoor wiring...!
in his other video where he hooked up the power, the GFCI is at the supply end.
You need to figure out XXs and Os for tic tac toe!
It’s a straight up Beach Club!! Great job!!
I wish I didn’t seen this, now I absolutely need this in my backyard 😂🙌🏾
Dude, this looks like the infiniti Power Stone frags. I love it
I have a large space in the side/back of my yard that I was looking to add a slab with a large gazebo style covering. THIS project was exactly what I had in mind! Thanks for the detailed how-to - I may try to tackle this all myself now!
That is a pretty cool project.. The lights look amazing at night!! Enjoyed watching this DIY..
What I like with your work is that it's clean and neat from the start to the finish. Amazing skills.
Very beautiful! Congrats on your gifts( talents)!
I don't know if this has already been pointed out, but you're so articulate it takes the video to a whole new level of enjoyment.
Dude that's just simplistic fantastic work 👏💯❤
I love the project. Definitely want to apply an acrylic sealer to the pavers. It will prevent any future infiltration of stains. Ideally, you'll want to do this later on the same day of your concrete pour, right after the finishing step. Great work man
Bro, amazing project very goooooooooood, you give more life to your place so brilliant!
Great project! I just finished watching them all the way through. Except for the super cringe way you hooked up the power, you did a really great job. A GFI outlet either in your box or where you plug in your extension cord should definitely be in your future, but for a non-electrician/homeowner... You did a great job. You've earned my sub just by having your daughter look up to you enough to want to help you with your project! Way to father! Yahweh bless you and yours brother! Shalom
Wow you very clever. Great job watching from Australia
Outdoor smart plugs so you can get “switching” capability. And per code outdoor outlet needs to be GFCI protected.
Looks great, I’m gonna have to steal this idea for my own one day.
That’s what I’m saying. I really really love this project but GFCI is seriously a must outdoors.
I have never heard of extension chords needing to be GFCI. Attaching a multi-inlet adapter to it does not change the fact that it's nothing more than an extension chord. Code must always submit to logic otherwise it is invalid.
@@EnFuego79 it’s not the extension cord that needs to be GFCI. It’s the outdoor receptacle in general that needs to be GFCI protected with “WR” rating (weather resistant).
@@FAKASHMEAN By that logic, all multi-inlet extension chords must be GFCI. There is no logic to the argument. The form factor of the inlets is irrelevant. Especially if they have been manually weather-proofed/sealed. The point is, never blindly follow code. Always defer to logic.
@@EnFuego79 all outdoor receptacle should be GFCI. The fact that you thought an extension cord is what we were talking about says a lot. Sure, waterproof sealing is done but that’s never 100% either. We talking about outdoor shit here.
You did a great job. Love your creativity. Keep posting.
THE amount of TALENT and PATIENCE you have!!! just wow, really mind blowing!!!!
Hola! 🖐What a unique space. It looks really, really good. I'll be sure to watch the next level on this really cool space. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Wow! you did an amazing job! What a change to your back yard!! it sure looked like a lot of work!! well done!!
Gorgeous
Great video, really appreciate sharing your thought process through each step in a way that feels genuine and natural! Not to mention the built itself looks amazing!
I love it - I'm stealing it - thanks for the easy to follow and chill vids.
NOW IMAGINE THE WHOLE PATIO THIS WAY 🤔😮😮😮😮😮🥰
I was thinking the same thing
Ingenious! What a great idea.
As always an awesome family project. Great job man. Keep pulling those kids in and keep up the great content. It's truly refreshing to see other dads teaching thier kids it's ok to get dirty and work doesn't hurt. Enjoyed catching back up on this series.
Damn my dude, this turned out amazing!
BEST DIY patio video I have seen.
Sheer brilliance
Absolutely amazing, as always!! You need your own HGTV show so you can inspire more of us to do more! I don't know where your inspiration and ideas come from, but I could definitely use some of it. Thank you for sharing!
I Love your Channel, I watch you all the time. I’ve tried this and it came out ok, not as clean as yours but I’m happy with it 🤗🤗
You freaking good man ! Awesome job !
I've loved the entire project. Well done! Think about adding a path from the grass to the new cement papers. I look forward to your next video.
Its stunning ! The work, was worth it. 👏🏼
A few steps added as for suggestion. Use led encasements for a way to thread and replace old led when they need to be replaced and the. Pour in clear epoxy over everything or just in the lines and sand smooth. This would further weather proof. (If you live in a rainy area, this could be an issue if you don’t add drainage and have pavers cover large areas). I think I’m going to do a version similar where I paint the pavers with a stencil to look like encaustic tile and the use a thin line of epoxy and led in the “grout lines” and seal it up. Great Video! Gets us creatives something to ponder! 👍
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯😎
Why not just state, “I am copying your idea, ways to improve on your finished product (after he did ALL the research, spent his time, blood, sweat, and tears). Sounds like you could have did it better as the originator?
I thought the same thing (enclosing the lights and epoxying it).
@@jrich8036 lol I’ve been planning my project for years, just been working too much to make it a reality. I live in an area where it rains a lot so I would have to seal mine up. I do enjoy watching other be able to bring their creations from the mind into reality. It inspires me to get all my sketches off the paper and into my yard. I get inspiration from everywhere, no copying here lol
@@sarahw7196 Hey Sarah I just thought you ‘High-Jacked’ the creators video and kinda low-balled his creativity, originality, etc.. But who am I. Looking back, I shouldn’t have commented. Opps! Hopefully we both hit the Like Button. Subscribe to his channel
Very cool, gives me some motivation for my back yard :)
This is great! Loved the prior video of making the frames and slabs. I’ve been wanting to do this myself and you have given me some inspiration!
Very nice man. I think I missed the part that you want to fill it with. While you were busy with the white sand, which I thought looks quite neat, I thought to myself: If I was that guy, I would settle for black pebbles rather, and lo and behold.. Ta da. I like it man. The LEDs also look fab
That patio looks amazing. You've outdone yourself 🔥 🔥 🔥
Best DIY creator, to this day
You could’ve went with a small enclosure that was rated for outdoor use for the junction box. Will remove any future moisture issues. Just make sure cord grips you use match the rating as well
beautiful idea....love your work
When you first introduced your plans, I was onboard thinking what a great idea then to see the finished results. It turned out great! I have tons of great DIY’s… just need someone to execute my ideas!
That looks really great!
Dude, you are good. Even without the LED lights, I really like those big slabs and black pebbles in between. Looks great!👍🏽
Beautiful work
You are an amazing designer and I love your projects; Thank you!
You are incredible 🙌🏾
This now needs a sealant clear so it looks like glass
Wow. Nailed it!
Added bonus, you made a giant tic-tac-toe board. Awesome build
Mate, that looks great.!
Now that you've had that patio for a few days. How do you like the rocks, are they annoying and get bumped and come out or do they stay in just fine?
I was wondering if once you found the lights worked if you'd put some kinda filler/gel between the rocks to make the surface smooth at the time (like you would for an LED light table)
Great build! Looks awesome. I thought it was smart to test it out for one night, make sure it looked good and worked, before putting extra time/effort into creating the breaker box.
Yea now if he fills in the entire slab with a resin it would last forever and be smooth as glass as well as clear as glass
@@kylemcweeny878 great idea!!
DEFINITELY LIKED THIS ONE
beautiful work man!
You did such a great job! I'm actually starting the same project this week. Thank you for sharing your ideas and skills with the DIY community!
I dig it too!!! Love it!🙌
This is so good. High quality work and turned out perfect.
Gorgeous.
Merry Christmas.
You are good, man. Superb job.
Wow it looks amazing!!'
That looks amazing I love it can't wait to see it all put together
Thank you! 😀
@@DIYCreators Try a translucent stone. You can find different color translucent stones. Try to find a stone that is white or black, but make sure light can shine through it. Then test it out on one section. It doesn't have to be clear, just translucent. Translucent light shines through, Transparent is see-through.
Great job. Looks cool
i’ve been on summer for almost 5 weeks and have been bored out of my mind, so i decided to do something productive. I wanted to make something so i started looking up diy things and came across your channel. I started to build the modern lamp you built and whilst it didn’t come out perfect it came out pretty nice. ( with a nail sticking out of course ) you’ve taught me so much, and i love your channel cause you show the imperfections in making your own stuff. I can say you’ve earned a new subscriber :)
MAN THIS ON POINT
Hi Glen ! Just want to say I've been watching your channel for a long time with all the great things you made, but you just went to the next level with this patio. I love it with the LED lights in between the concrete pavers. Awesome job Glen. Keep up the good work. I think you were having a lot of fun using that new cement mixer. LOL . Can't wait till your next project.
Looks amazing!
Super cool project! To be honest, I was doubting how good the lights were going to look in the grooves with the river rocks but I was amazed. They look great and I bet your house guests have been hitting you up to make them something just like it for their own now-boring back yards! 😂
Looks good thanks for sharing
You inspire me❤❤❤❤
I love it 💜 great job. Thanks for sharing
This is dope!
I like it very much thank you very much
Thanks for the work you put into this!
Beautiful!
Looks awesome 👍
Looks incredible 👍
