Pavers-Mastering the basics

Published 2020-11-02
We start with the basics of pavers by laying out the string line, determine cut depth, excavate for subbase, put base in 2 lifts, pack each lift, set screed rails for sand, lay out field and get ready for cuts & also Test the ASV-RT-50''s lifting capability-over and over.

    As someone who has been doing this professionally for 24 years I can only say one thing: I couldn't have done it better. I loved the click-and-drop explanation, cause that is the only way to do it right. Keep it up boys!

    as a younger viewer (15) I appreciate how much you were talking and I feel I learn a lot from your videos
  • Honestly Stanley, I really appreciate the commentary because you're explaining exactly what's going on and I enjoy learning. So thank you. :)

    11:27 Stanley, never apologize for giving us a lot of information. More information is better! It's great to hear how far you go in detail. You and your team make some amazing videos :) Keep them coming please!

    You don't know how much this helps us noobs brutha. I have come to feel like I am part of your Dirt Monkey crew. When I get done with my project which includes a outdoor fireplace I want to send you pics. Not only because I'm proud of the work that this handicap one-man band is doing but because you and your crew taught me so much.

    LOTS OF RESPECT FOR SAM! Filming something you're not good at is impressive, because you know you'll get complains about it. I respect that a lot! You go Sam!

    Being retired and never working in this type of business, I enjoy hearing you Stan explaining what is happening on screen. I worked in a machine shop for forty years so this type of thing is interesting to me. Thanks and please keep doing it.

    Been doing pavers for 22 years. You guys do it right. I appreciate attention to detail and keeping quality craftsmanship alive and well. Thanks guys.
  • @ericpaz2854
    This a really really great informative video with enormous insight on what why and how during a paver install. You definitely do not talk too much, i enjoy the way you come in and out of the bottom of the screen to touch on important things as you see them come into the video. Thanks!
  • @silentaroma
    It's awesome to watch you guys work. And you can see how your methods have evolved over the years. It's great. Keep up the great work!!!
  • I personally like it the more you explain a project. The more you explain the more I learn so the better the results. The difference between my first and second retaining walls was amazing. For the second I took tips from your videos. Than you!!!
  • @Paper4150
    The commentary is why I come here for these videos. Great learning experience every time, and sometimes I say to myself "Hey we used to do it that way back in the day!"
  • This is a “MUST SEE” video for any DIY’er’s . I am almost finished a 16yo x 20’ area and cannot stress enough that this is hard physical work (i only had wheelbarrows to work with). Hats off to you who do it on a daily!
  • @tommiluck3729
    This is the best tutorial I have seen yet on paving - you guys talked through critical steps that many tutorials leave out...respect.
  • Thank you for talking and teaching me…. The DIY home owner. We have to do it ourselves because costs have gotten out of control. I’m so grateful to have you as a mentor!!!!!!
  • @ehmen93

  • This is the best channel for stonework hardscape, so many professional insights that tons of others overlook. Surprised you aren't at 1M subs by now! Keep up the good work.
  • @IAmNotBroken
    I learned and was able to start my own business just from watching your videos, and your videos are the only ones I will reference to when I need more information
