Easiest Patio Pavers You'll Ever Install!

pro tip for anyone reading, PVC pipe for screed rails like that are too flexible. if you have any low spots/dips in your gravel base, you can inadvertently push the PVC screed pipes down into the dips, thus getting a dip in your screed layer. Spend the extra money on metal pipes for your screed rails, this isn't something you want to redo down the road.

Looks easy. 24 years ago I installed traditional pavers...Put down the road mix and sand. Had it all sloped away from house and ready to lay pavers the next morning. Well the next morning my daughters put our 2 yr old golden outside and you can guess what happened. I was not able to sufficiently repair the sand so from then on I have a low spot that collects water when it rains. That dog finished her journey about 10 years ago and her work remains. RIP Sunny.

I'm a 68 year old woman who has absolutely no experience and needed to update my concrete patio. I ended up purchasing Snap together tiles which fit right over my concrete area No prep necessary. Took about an hour to complete the project. Looks awesome, couldn't be happier! Will leave Sweat and labor to the dudes!

This is the nicest comment section I’ve seen for someone learning. Exactly how it should be a couple people giving suggestions and others encouraging his hard work even if it’s not what they would’ve done

When you said that you don't have the "budget for that", I was under the impression this would be cheaper than concrete. But at $26 per 16"X16" tile. Excluding the more expensive tiles for the edges.... I think the concrete is the more affordable option. Cool video and great job.

Future reference, spray a little water on the ground and let it soak in. Not enough to turn to mud but enough to soften up and will also help with dust control

It's wonderful how user friendly the system is and makes it possible for a diyer to complete a small paving project over a weekend. Paying labor costs for a job like this often becomes the biggest expense, not the pavers, so to be able to do it yourself might make the difference between having a nicely paved area and not.

I like it ! Most people on the internet renovate Million $ houses most of us can't afford. You're right up my alley, sir ! THANKS

I used an electric roto tiller to pave my backyard and it was so fun and easy. I’ve also used a roto tiller to run a water line to my pool area. Would till a small footprint and suck up loose dirt with a shop vac. The trench was so fast and easy to lay the pipe in a fraction of the time.

Awesome work! I would have used the dirt for a couple of raised garden beds. Put in some small diameter logs to help fill in the bottom and give plants something to eat in the years to come and you easily have enough for two nice size garden beds. Also, I like to put a nice tarp in my truck bed before moving dirt or gravel, then I can ease out the load into a cart without having to shovel every scoop, just slide it out off the end of the tailgate. It also keeps my truck bed cleaner and doesn't get my tailgate all jammed up with stones and dirt. Thanks for posting this video 🥰

One of the best RYOBI commercials I've ever seen. :) I've been all electric with all my yard tools for 4 years now. Never going back to gas again.

I wish I knew about these 13yrs ago before my 4k patio was installed🤦 Nice clean look. Pretty cool... Thx for sharing

Love the job! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Last year I used an easier system when I put patio pavers down in front of my front steps. (I actually took the old pavers up, dug up the base that had become partially eroded from water, put in a new base and this product, and replaced the pavers. I had fixed the water issue the previous year.) I used Brock PaverBase Panels. Each panel is approximately 5 square feet in area, different hardware chains have slightly different sized panels, that are laid on top of the sand and you place your choice of paving stones on top. Holes in the panel allow water to pass through. The biggest advantage is that they allow one to greatly reduce the amount of gravel base by three inches. Instead of digging down six inches one only needs to dig down three. Any force that would have caused a single paver to either sink down or be raised up before gets spread out across the panel. The edges of the panels are designed to overlap to provide more stability for the pavers. (One end and one side extend halfway on the top while the other sides extend on the bottom.) Cutting the panels is easy. The pavers I installed have gone through a Canadian winter and they still look as good as when I installed them. The cost of the panel is more than the gravel base it saves but I think that ease in installation and the virtual elimination of individual pavers rising or falling are more than worth the cost.

So you just completely made my day with his system. For the extra money it's well worth it. I last year did my own pavers doing a walk way all the way out to the fire pit and around. It took me so long because I have a bad back. And of course it could look so much better than it actually doesI I want to do like a border around the inside of my fence, and I was going to do stones but now I'm going to do this. This will save my back!

I was going to talk about that spade VS the flathead shovel, but you addressed that. Bro, I am dying. This guy is a natural.

That's the best use I've ever seen for a front pocket on a T Shirt!

You have a great attitude! Makes your video's easy to watch plus motivating! I'm looking forward to spring as I have a lot of landscaping to do.

I’m getting tired just watching you work hard BUT my dream is to have a patio area that big and privacy fencing. I’m disabled and the money isn’t there to hire, so, I enjoy your projects and live through your videos. Thank you!

You have to use rigid tubes for leveling, not pvc which are flexible. Once you achieve level between those 2 tubes then you do feather edge sand etc. If you use pvc then it flexes and never is even to echother , not mentioning level overall. Compacter can slightly even out dents on the finished surface but will not do miricles. Bether start from as leveled surface as possible, before you lay crates
