Great job. I want ask you about the sand that you used. It is a special one for that job, or is any kind of sand. And where to get it. Thanks

It’s actually called paver base. It’s the same material you would put down before you lay pavers. It creates a solid base that won’t sink or shift over time when it is compacted. You can purchase bags of it from Home Depot or Lowes. Thank you!

I love your main concrete sunburst pattern! How was this done?

@hanoveroak

It is really cool! This was done well before we owned the house but it was a pretty common pattern back in the 80s/90s. They must have used some kind of stamp.

Thank you! Yes, you could also use decomposed granite.

River rocks then sprayed with mulch glue would have created a more blended look.

You can do it using the “dry-pour” method. To build a few small 3x4 concrete slabs, this method works perfectly when is done correctly, saving you a lot money and effort.

Great Video and fabulous idea, just curious how is the turf holding up? I am debating whether to go w/ turf or Large rocks. How is the turf holding up, i know the warranty last about 5-8 yrs. Do you get weeds growing thru the turf?

Hey great video. I’m actually finished the pavers and now to install the artificial grass. Should I use paver base gravel or sand?

@hanoveroak

Жыл бұрын

For a more solid base, you want to use decomposed granite. If it’s just small strips like I’ve done in this video, the paver based worked just fine. Definitely don’t use sand though as the stakes won’t hold. Hope this helps!

Thank you! We purchased the turf from Costco. They have 3 different grades and we went with the middle grade. For 3x3 slabs you would cut two of your 2x4s to 39” and the other two at 36”. Assemble them so that the interior dimensions are 3x3. Hope this helps!

Yes, I put down paver base which you can buy by the bag at home improvement stores. Then I put the weed barrier. Then the concrete slabs. Then more paver base between the slabs and then the artificial turf. For large areas of turf, you would want to use a decomposed granite as a base. No sand is needed.

I would of dine the space as a 2 x 4 and then taken a 2x4 a d cut down it after measuring the with with the 2x4 much easier

@hanoveroak

2 жыл бұрын

It depends on your goal. RCA stands for Recycled Concrete Aggregate and it definitely could be used as a base material under artificial turf - it's also affordable! If you have pets that will be doing their business there, it may not be the best option as the concrete pieces will absorb odors. Decomposed granite (DG) is considered one of the better options and provides great drainage, but it will be more expensive. For my project, I used paver base which is made up of crushed rock and shells. It worked great for my area because it was just narrow strips that won't really have much foot traffic. If you have a large area, I would suggest one of the other options I listed above. Hope this helps!
