Your Hostas are absolutely beautiful . What is the name of them ?
I'm doing a similar project and this video has been so helpful to get me educated and prepared for the work! Two questions – you pulled out plastic siding; did you replace or add more around the outer edges of the new pad? AND did you use a geotech fabric between the road base and sand base to prevent weeds/plants growing through? Thank you very much!
What specific paver was used in this video?
really beautifull backyard
Great video! Does it create problems to put the pavers directly up against a foundation?
Im planning on doing a small paver diy. I really liked your video. I didn't see you use the thin black mesh. Would you say that's ok to skip that? I see people do it and some don't. Any help or suggestions would be awesome ๐
Could you please share the link of pavers you used?
I really appreciate the video! Awesome work, Iโm about to embark on a whole lot of paver work myself (hopefully). Lots of DIY projects in mind and I really appreciate the look. Great work!!
Thank you for this video! Iโm inspired ๐๐ฝ
So the pvc was just used for leveling purposes? If i have a 12×12 area that i need to do, the frame around it should provide the same kind of purpose, right?
All your walkways are absolutely beautiful. Great work.
Didn't you just wash out all the polymeric sand with the pressure washer ?
Great energy great attitude equals great success giving you a thumbs up
Do you need to compact the leveling sand?
Menards is great
Thank you sir, very nice. I love this.
13:39, glad your hand and or saw didn't slip.
Enjoyed the video, just got done adding a paver edge around the concrete pad in my backyard and boy the video makes the excavating and prep work look easy haha. I had a moment there halfway through digging that I worried I was in over my head (63' trench, 2 feet wide…). If anyone sees this comment – I bought a garden tiller to help with breaking up the clay soil and it helped A LOT. You still gotta get the dirt out of there but chopping it up is so much easier. Great video and the pad looks nice!
Great video ๐
Thanks for sharing in such detail.
Thanks for the video, I have realized that I will need to hire someone to do this job for me๐๐
Great job! Working on my this summer and this will help for sure. Thanks!!!
