Patio / Laying Paving Slabs

In this video I lay a subbase foundation for my patio using MOT Type 1 hardcore, compact it all, and then mix up some mortar using sharp sand, cement and water for laying some 450mm square riven concrete paving slabs, and then I can do the pointing between the slabs.

Let’s face facts. You on your worst day is me on my best day! I love the honesty of your videos Keith.

No lips. No puddles. Regular spacing and straight joints. Drains away from the house. What more could you want? Fascinated by the remote control delivery arm on the truck. Turns unloading into a precise one-person process. Thanks for the video (and the mention of glazing packers).

I got my 16yo daughter & 18yo son to lay the last patio we did in our garden. Much less effort that way! Well done Keith, great video as always. All the best

Love the way Dillon inspects your work as you move along!

[gryffindork]

Looks great 👌🏻 don’t worry we live and learn. I think your fur-baby approved and loved your pointing joke 🤣

[KerryW-ldpr]

Love the honesty and it really helps that you not only left them in but you pointed them out...

[eglwysfawr]

When you're working off old existing levels just pick one and run with it... thinking about them all will do your head in ...good job mate ...

[ramadanahmed]

Very honest to show and tell the mistakes so we can avoid it 👌👍👍

[robertbamford]

Glazing packers! Never heard of them until now. But I’ve needed them for months. Great info.

[Unlovable]

Good to see the old electric powerfile is still around!

[MinuteWorkshop]

“Pointing… 👉 “ 😂😂 Classic! Great stuff Keith. 👍

[ratchriat]

for the first attempt I think you did well looking good and you finish the job by painting the wall nicely happy Sunday.

[garywilliams]

I am currently doing my patio and it's a real challenge and I appreciate your full honesty in this video. Well done on your patio it looks like a professional finish.

[martabaker]

I’m watching your videos over and over. Laying our patio this half term. Fingers crossed

[MasterChef]

the yellow shorts always steal the show though

[MrSmid]

I did chuckle at 8:23 when you stood on the wet cement 🤭 check the level lol. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[thomasbarber]

Best video out there covered off some topics I’m encountering as we speak funny enough ordered them same pointing tool before watching and you just cemented my purchase hahah you really are a god !

[mandyleeson]

Looks really professional to my untrained eye, Keith and the foreman seemed pleased. I would’ve liked a longer shot at the end to take it all in, much like when I complete one of my own DIY jobs, I like to keep going back to ‘savour’ the moment. Cheers, Mandy

[TheWardagh]

Super job. Laughed at the pointing a bit too much. 👍🏼😁

[markwatters]

Looking good there mate. Won’t be long before you can set up the bbq, sit down with the family and enjoy your work. All the best.
