How To Build A Small Patio DIY step 7. Laying Pavers
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Step 7 in building a small DIY paver patio is laying the pavers. If you've done the base and sand correctly, this is one of the easier steps.
Lay the pavers onto your sand one at a time, making sure to keep them all in line. On this patio we're using a herringbone pattern, so there will be lots of cuts around the edges.
When you get to the edges, mark the cut with a pencil. Then cut the brick with an angle grinder and set it in place.
Once the bricks are all in place, compact them with a vibratory compactor or hit them with a mallet and 2x4. The 2x4 method works great on a small patio.
Next, clean the pavers with a blower and spread your grout sand. In this case, we're using polymeric sand that hardens when it gets wet.

Why not? We have 10 fingers. One less won't make a difference

Proper cowboys. Dangerous too. Not laid tight. You never use a grinder without a guard. Buy a bigger one that suits the job and you’ll never get it down with a hammer. All in all this is how not to do it. Fools

@@claytonmallia9892 its basically just a disc with find sandpaper on the edge. the only way you are losing a finger to it is if you keep it there for a long time applying a lot of pressure.
Wow! Im gonna do my own patio myself. Save me thousands of $$ to pay someone on an easy job. Thank u for this tuitorial. Ill save this vid and play it again when i stsrt mine. 🙏🙏❤️❤️👍👍
Beautiful job
Nice big chip on that one cut
That grinder without a guard is a definite nono ,trust me i removed the guard from a baby grinder once ,once only nearly lost fingers.

You are supposed to run a wacker plate over it with the sand 🇬🇧
This is great work tha ks😊

Chop saw with 14” diamond blade works better👍

nice
Excellent cuttings.
Whacker plate?
That sand isnt the only thing that hardens when you get it wet.
Nice thale guy didn't lose any fingers. 4.5 inch grinder with a much larger cutting wheel
Ah the little bricks of yesterday. Seems large brick is all.people use now. I had the misfortune of laying a 4 inch thick driveway block. The biggest block was 109 lbs and the other two were smaller at 79 lbs and 30 lbs. Havent had small brick in 20 years.
Great job. Great explanation.

And after a winter you have to fix the ones that have heaved up !
Where did you get those pavers?
1 day you will have only 1 hand. (If you are lucky)
Heringbone pattern would be angled 45 degrees to the existing pavement. This would actually be an L or elbow pattern!

It’s a 90 degree herringbone

A herringbone can be in any direction. It's the pattern of the block themselves that make it a herringbone.
use gray sand with red pavers.
wow bro no guard on the grinder well at least he has a ppe on lol 😂
Nice job bro
Nice !
Is that sand on the bottom to compact?
for all of those who are listening to this use a wet saw not a grinder.
What no compactor plate 😂
Slag/chip stone is better for your base...the ants can't get it out of there, creating a cavity and sinking your pavers, like they can with sand. At least it's not hard to fix every couple years!
How about showing how to put in the proper base.

I don’t take tips from pros who dont use pro tools

I usually just rent a proper table saw - it’s not worth losing a finger, and the cuts are much cleaner and accurate!
Eventually the color fades and the weeds grow in between the cracks. Stamped concrete is a much better choice....for me at least.
Nice freaking job!
So dangerous taking off guard of grinder
Brick chisel and mallet - by hand, like a true craftsman, is the ONLY way to go.
Way to screw up that large seam.

Polymeric gets moldy
Thats a dangerous tool
Why the blower? Doesn't look like there is anything to blow away
@Gambrick

The blower gets rid of anything really small that could get missed by the broom, like small bits of dirt, dust, or even pollen. You want toe surface as clean as possible so nothing gets into the polymeric sand when it hardens.
…the schleem is later repurposed for later batches…
Be careful with that grinder, youl take your hand off. Dont use gloves either
Get a guard fitted to your cutter!
Maybe worth investing in a larger grinder for the sake of those finger! That blade is too big for the grinder and no guard. Come on people
instead of sand use 1/4-10 gravel

Yes this, I prefer to use 3/8 cs, locks in and drains better, won’t wash out or settle nearly as much and if it rains while you’re doing a big job you won’t have to rescreed it
That block hole you left was useless
Amatuer hour
Who can spot the fail brick
Gaps 🙈
For the love of God Knee pads
I like the finger choper 5000 you use to cut the brick. Good way to get an OSHA violation by posting this video. If this was contract work then you gotta follow OSHA rules.

This must be an old video……no one does patios or driveways with sand anymore

You’d be surprised how many do, I prefer 3/8 crushed stone or stone dust if it’s specified in the plans but 9 times out of ten it’s gonna be peastone
Dont use gloves with grinder
There’s some very amateur mistakes going on there 🤦🏻 tidy job tho
I guess u dont care for fingers !
Can not subscribe to this channel???????😂😂😂😂😂😂 why
Ugly round cut Floor should dry before apply sand
The third corner brick you laid fell short and left a nasty gap in the corner. Unacceptable. And a hard fix, as the rest of the brick is already laid.
Lesbian
Cowboys. Shocking wrong
Amateur hour I bet you don’t offer warranty, grinder I’m laughing and the cheap sand smh you also used stone that didn’t even match the old one
Dont ever do patios again thankyou that thing will go uneaven after the first winter
Totally wrong

I would have pulled that whole thing up if I saw that big ass gap in the end… just restart and work to the house where the gap wouldn’t be noticeable.
