I did a huge amount of block paving back in the 80s when of course I was alot fitter. With 2 of us laying we used to achieve 80 to 100 metres a day. Its all good if the blocks and sand are to hand when needed. We had a guy who used to just cut in. And we would jump in when not laying or screeding sand. It really keeps you fit. This guy knows his stuff. Keeping that orientation is alot harder than it looks. If you get it wrong you could spend an hour or more with a shovel lining the blocks back up. We also used to put blocks end down in the gaps ready for cutting. It also helps to keep the gaps true. 👍👍Bloody good job.
I remember one time I was laying a court yard. I was the cut man and I layed brick. Luckily this day I didn't cut and I was just laying. The foreman wanted to cut this particular day cuz it was a lot of pipes in the blue print. As I was laying and he was cutting he accidentally cut one of the pipes and water got all in the sand. Mannnnn it was a headache trying to repair that. We got the job done before the deadline thank God lol
+J Simo Don't know about knees,but your back will definitely hurt after this.I'd rather do the work the other guy is doing,bringing the bricks to the guy laying them.
I been doing this for a couple years now and I gotta say his speed is pretty impressive, you also have to pay attention to your lines and joints his look great, impressive guy!
Funny how these comments are full of apparently expert pavers who can lay better and faster than this guy, and yet every block paved drive I have ever seen looks like it was laid by a blind paraplegic with Parkinson's. I now realise it's because all the good guys are sitting at home slagging everyone else off.
i do this for a living yes i can see where his error's are lol so yea i kinda am an expert im a foreman and he's doing a decent job he keeps having to push in his line the string line is your guide you mess a bit here at the end of the driveway it will ne a nightmare
Spencer Wilton mate this one time I got paid 20 million pounds to lay a path through the middle of Manchester cos I'm actually that fast that it would take all others 20 years and it took me 2 weeks eye Good contract that. Wait this other time I went to the top competition and if you watch enough of them you'll actually find I won about 20 of them I've got a letter from the queen telling me how awesome I am legit though
I know this man he’s name is Victor, he retired from laying block paving at 32, without a doubt the fastest blocker I’ve ever seen do it, he laid & cut in 215 square meters 22 packs of block paving in one day, this man is a legend in the paving game.
+Iazzaboyce LMFAO,this conversation has got to be the best ever on You Tube....anyone could mistake you as Dellboy and the other guy as Trigger (obviously)! 😂😂😂😂
Nice job I get a little dyslexic doing this type of work especially when you're using like four different kinds of pavers even huge ones I lose track of the pattern
Stuart Davis plus the sand doesn't even look very wacked and they're not using walking boards, but all that aside it's the prep work, digging off, laying crushed concrete or type1 if it's an adopted road, making sure the falls are right so you don't end up with puddling that matters, not just throwing down some little 50mm blocks, that's the easy bit! lol!
Most I did was 6776 80mm block pavers in one day at a Telfords barratts job. Uphill and sometimes loading out to myself because the Labourer didn't have the strength to push a pack on the brick trolley up the incline. Looks like me n this guy could blockpave the UK in just under a week :D
After 2 metres he was already half an inch moving away from the string line so at that rate he would be well out by the time he gets half way... He should lay off a straight edge instead of a line. I bet the brick looked all over the place when he finished, it's ok doing it quick but it needs to look good too lol
People get confused as to why sometimes you get tradesman that are quick but efficient. But then there are efficient tradesman that take their time. and then there are tradesman that are quick but leave the site ‘unfinished’. hourly rate is excusable when you are this good. you pay for the quality of the end product and if time is of the essence this man should be awarded the same if. Or more than the person who ‘takes their time’.
Just started doing landscaping any ideas on what method he uses to create the pattern on the brick? Is there a certain amount and way of doing this any help will be great thanks
We give toys to our kids that gifts them skilled talent to jobs in the future. Does anyone remember the toy commercial with Zack the lago maniac ? Great work and skill....
it helps to know what your doing in something like this.the ground must be flat and level.mums the word,flat and level.respect for our cousins accros the sea.
Should be labeled fastest quality paver. I have seen faster, but none of those took the time to make sure things were straight and even. This guy is good.
Its amazing how many experts are on here who know people who can go faster or just chat shit and put people down to make themselves feel better as they were probably bullied at school. Nice to watch a skilled tradesman plying his trade. I can pave but not that fast. Nice work lads 👍
Hes good at throwing the blocks in. Shame the job won't last 5 minutes. The sand hasn't been screeded off properly whilst under compaction, its loose and will sink.
I would fire him if he did my driveway this fast. Needs to tap them in and level them. Must be nice to spend all that time leveling the sand and NOT record all the time it took.
the sand should be levelled and screed to proper levels before so you just put the wacker plate on them after with the brushing in sand there is no need to tap and level them

I haven't seen a paver this fast and precise. Amazing work!
Really lol
For years I did just this. These guys are good.The layer is only as fast as the guy who supplies the pavers
You clearly don't know what you're doing then.

Very nice. what are those pans for? The ones he laid the bricks around? Are they for drainage or something?

did this for 12 years but speed means nothing if your lines and joints are out.

Stuart Davis , all I will say is that all seemed to well prepped, the interesting thing is what does it look like after 6 months?
Stuart Davis plus the sand doesn't even look very wacked and they're not using walking boards, but all that aside it's the prep work, digging off, laying crushed concrete or type1 if it's an adopted road, making sure the falls are right so you don't end up with puddling that matters, not just throwing down some little 50mm blocks, that's the easy bit! lol!
I agree that has not been done with a screed bar or level.
+I reckon I can build that after you take wackier plate over sand you then rake over sand gently so blocks bed in better.
How come with block paving you dont tap them down? Im just curious, i have no idea how they're installed
Then the guy with the camera takes a 3 hour break .
Proper block paver 👍consistant and quick good job Victor like the Albanians

Didn't notice there was tounge and groove on them, i bet that makes it a lot easier.
+123TauruZ321 It's tongue with a very wide groove on pavers. So there is a space for the kiln dried sand to go in the gaps.

The hands of the legend move, as the polish guy lays the bricks and commentator rubs his hands!!! Cheap labour much profit

What kind of sand/ ground is that on the bottom that's packed tight?
Someone make a remix with these brick sounds in the background.
UK guys are hard workers. I worked with a few guys in the refineries.
In Netherlands they have a machine that does the paving in 10 seconds
Juan Claude They are lazy, that’s why they have a machine.
Poor quality.
That’s sad
Cool👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 suis un poseur... J'aime la rapidité de tes mains
Pssshh just saw a video where a Mexican guy paved twice the size of that in half the time.
Velociraptor in 4 minutes???🤔🤔🤔🤔
Lol true. But those fast guys leave terrible jobs
Why is no one doing the cuts behind him 👍👍👍👍👍
I watched this at 2X speed and it was super awesome.
You are a genius :O
it helps to know what your doing in something like this.the ground must be flat and level.mums the word,flat and level.respect for our cousins accros the sea.
Now rip it all up! You've laid it on building sand!
u got it.
So what? Pretty much everything is paved on at least 15cm of sand in The Netherlands. Brickroads look dam good over there
Should be labeled fastest quality paver. I have seen faster, but none of those took the time to make sure things were straight and even. This guy is good.
I here that. he's a machine. you can here the click on every paver with the click and drop method that is the right way to do it. just awesome.

How thick are those bricks u guys using there? In N America we are using bricks minimum 2 1/8 inch thick
54mm
That's impressive!

Classic example, of why English Tradesmen are paid by the hour
Not by the Job,
Emphasis on the words English and Tradesmen!!
Hes good at throwing the blocks in. Shame the job won't last 5 minutes. The sand hasn't been screeded off properly whilst under compaction, its loose and will sink.
he still gets 8£ an hour no matter how fast
40£ a pack a bricks is on price...
sow in that 7 mins... you seen he got 40£
haha keep dreaming.. u get paid by the brick/job not hour idiot
A Tradesman like him will surely demand a higher salary
Uhh we don't get paid by the hour
Why is there a single loose paver left for the stacks to be set on. So they know where to set the next stack at?
If you dont leave one they have to drop the stack on the pavers which would ruin it.
That isn't even fast I saw a guy doing it twice as fast no lie
this guy is doing it correctly and doesn't need to do it over later unlike the guy in the video titled "this is how you lay bricks"
I would fire him if he did my driveway this fast. Needs to tap them in and level them. Must be nice to spend all that time leveling the sand and NOT record all the time it took.
Hey lady, you don't even know me.
the sand should be levelled and screed to proper levels before so you just put the wacker plate on them after with the brushing in sand there is no need to tap and level them
Haha how does he remember the pattern so well.... golly thats crazy talent awesome 👌 👏 😎
This guy's good at Tetris huh
if there were only rectangles in tetris...
what was the square thing in the middle of the area? And can you add drain points in the area or what?
