A lot of people think these sorts of guys are rough and ready but they are talented and it takes constant maths to make a masterpiece like this! Good work guys!

I totally agree I'm a groundworker and lay heavy slabs build steps etc... and folks think we are knuckle head's... we aren't the maths is bonkers and working out can be mentally draining... big shout out to you all.
Absolutely superb video. I learnt more about laying patios and landscaping in 27 minutes than in 27 years of hit and miss diy projects. What a professional crew who must be in high demand.
Sometimes when you watch a video of folk doing a job, you can just tell that the they're at the top of their game. This was definately one of those videos👍👍👍
That fella was handy on the saw; those cuts were spot on!! Really good finish on that job looks a million dollars. Those little bumps to give you the grouting gaps are a great idea, the joints look great. Top work, my knees hurt just watching!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Wow them boys are quick!! You didn’t even have time to put the kettle on Rodger 😂
Having been in the building trade and landscaping its a joy to see real tradesmen at work.
Wow that’s hard graft and made to look easy by the experienced tradesman. Brilliant work
There's a lot more skill involved than I ever imagined, well done guys
Being northern irish it makes me proud to watch these lads at work, no matter the weather a professional job is done with a bit of craic at the same time. I have used tobermore product and its excellent as is the grout they supply, a lot easier to use than dried sand.

Got these lads to do a job for me in Dublin, super job, top class
"International Skill Builder" coming to a country near you...Excellent work Rodger/Skill Builder looks like a pucker job well-done lads...Remember finishing my second house and thinking how I am going to fix this garden the ground is as hard a nails up and down like pigs breakfast. You may know how a garden is after the house build there is everything in the ground. Across the road, some ground workers were starting to layout for new housing development. Saturday morning went across for a chat with the groundworkers asking if they would be interested in a shift to put my garden right. They were Irish Lads No problem they said where are you? Just across the road, I said before I could say another word 6 Irish lads were on a small digger /dumper with spades/ shovels picks coming with me to my house. They took down a part of the Fence and in they went like a whirlwind it took them about 6 hours to level the Garden bring in topsoil and lay a patio. Great lads amazing workers. Paid them well wife put on a barbeque invited them back over. The next day bought 6 boxes of beer and dropped them off the next day...Well done one and all.
Pleasure to watch skilled craftspeople at work. Thanks for that.
After seeing the effort and skill these guys have, I wouldn’t have any hesitation in booking them to work on my patio. The finished product looks excellent and can’t fault the graft either.
These boys are doing an excellent job, and it shows in the way they are proud of what they do.
I admire the graft put in here. Earning their coin proper
They have got that cutting and marking down to a fine art. lovely job.
I drop my hat to these skilled pavers. Amazing and learning video. I have to say, thanks to you Roger I am learning as a customer the importance of hiring the best and why. This is enlightened me and definitely I will call this company and builders for such a professional work in the future. My house needs a complete renovation and not forgetting the patio and front drive. Thanks Roger and tobermore paving contractors.
They seem a very humble bunch
What a difference when you watch quality tradesmen at work, well done guys !!! 👍👏🏻
There’s not one video on this guys Chanel that ain’t amazing just wow so much you learn
agree with below... Just love watching this channel on my office lunch-breaks. Free my mind with some Skill-Builder videos :)
Know these lads well .they are only guys to lay any sort of paving .I never seen a bad job they have done .👏👏👏
Great video, top firm of lads for sure "The bitterness of low quality remains long after the sweetness of a cheap price is forgotten"
Some Job guys.Lovely to see True Craftmanship.Well done to everyone.
“Can you say that in English?” @ 10.37 😂 naughty naughty Roger!!
Well done lads... I could have done with your skills over here in Canada when I had my Landscaping Company. That was 40 odd years ago when we were laying this type of Interlocking Pavers rather than the much heavier paving slabs. I am paying for all the heavy work I did then out in all kinds of weather, extreme heat and cold has played havoc with my joints, knee replacements, Rotator cuff repairs and 2 years ago had my right shoulder replaced. Hope the Boss is paying you good money for your expertise and hard work.... Great teamwork you all work well together.

builders and especially good labourers do not get paid enough or a good job. The customer always wants it done yesterday, they have no clue whatsoever what goes into a hard days graft
Cracking job, experts always make things look easy!
Some crew all tuned to a very professional standard, savage job, well done.
Too many people do paving the cheap way, great to see you guys doing it right 👍
Dam good tradesmen there Roger, a beautiful job.
11 out of ten chaps, excellent job!!
Great job, skilled team that know what they're doing

They do don’t they. But you’d go for the cheaper quote cos these boys are expensive. You’ll go cheap then you’ll pay again to put it right.
Real men , real work
Their accents are brilliant, if i could block pathe id love to work with them just for the banter.
Beautiful job, great contractor.
What a team👍
Brilliant skills shown there. Quality craftsmanship 👌🏽
Very well shot and edited. Thank you.
Love those Tobermore Blocks. Tidy work guys
Been waiting for this all day I love a bit of blocking. Nice one Roger Keep the videos coming 👍👍

What a satisfying work/video. I've done some very minor ones myself, so I know how difficult it can be. They make it look so easy, though. Professionals!
Gotta love that re purposed take out bag, good show mate
Absolutely fantastic work and great video 📹 👏
Very informative. Thanks for sharing👊🏻
Good job, looks great.
Professionally done. I have been looking around for dos and don'ts to pave my driveway DIY, and this video explains most of it. We don't have tobermore or other quality concrete paving blocks here in south India, so I will have to start from making the blocks!. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
These guy's are super talented ! no cutting corners, just a perfect job.
Excellent job. Brand new high vis vests too 😉
What a great job, them boys work is spot on.....bet they have sore knees at the end of there work days
Satisfying job that .... beautiful
Thanks for the video. I will get my driveway done very soon and will get in touch with this lot. Great job.
Absolutely mustard that! 3 days too. 👌
Very helpful video, thanks guys.
Great video,love the outside job....I should have carried on with that, But plumbing has gave me work for 40 years so can’t grumble
For all you lads watching notice us lads over here in Northern Ireland don't use screed rails as they are only for fellas that don't know how to screed, tobermore products are great and acheson and glover, should cover more work over here we are the dogs bollicks if I do say so myself 👍

That's the biggest load of crap. More like you can't afford a real screeder with the pools it 5x as qucik and 5x more accurate. And it's 10x better in your back because your not on your knees with a bit of 4x2 your stood up dragging a screeder along a pole.

I like that your contractor knows to use sand to let the water permeate. This is good for the environment also. There are already to many hard surfaces in most cities and the water runs off, heads to the sea and picks up all the oil and grease along the way. A small patio does't seem like much but everyone's small driveways and patios add up. Good video!
Those lads are good !
This is fun to watch and learn something but even more better they working as the team

These lads made a killing on this job.
I do my gravel freehand. However I use 1/2 in pipes for my sand I have to say I give you a lot of respect for doing the sand free hand that’s a lot of freaking talent. I freehand all the transitions however to do flat sand with no pipes. Much respect!
Best ASMR video I've seen for a while :)
Just a fantastic job done 😃
Great job lads, a lot of hard work done well, I like the look of the Romex jointing compound, I used kiln dried sand on my block paving driveway last summer and the weeds are coming back already, any links as to where to purchase the Romex, great to see you visit northern Ireland Roger 👍
Great looking Job
Good advice, using road stone / Type 1 MOT for the sub base, as a alternative to hardcore.
wow fantastic job and vid
What a lovely work Regards Faruk
Very nice work
Impressive work and skills
