You did a fantastic job showing and explaining each step and giving the reasons why you are doing it! I think your video is far easier to follow than others I have seen! Thank you and please do more of them!!

[ashbucharon]

In Florida we get a lot of heavy rains, mulch floats away. Something to consider. Thanks for the video.

[KC-CollieSheps]

Nice job! Good choice of materials using sand! I put in a brick paver patio with paver base & sand. 15 x 20 feet. It hasn’t shifted in 20 yrs. The old castles in Europe are often on sand base - They are still standing after hundreds of years.

I love watching those that know what they are doing and can explain it in such a way that it's very easy to follow along. Just found your channel and subscribed. Being a retired tradesman I am always on the lookout for great content. You can never stop learning new and different ways. Very well done video.🤘🤘🤘🤘

[thDecember]

Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial. As a woman DIY'er, it's super helpful to see another woman doing construction projects, because I know the demonstrated steps will generally be within my own physical limits. I'll be checking out your other videos for next year's upcoming tasks. Subscribed.

[handytbutler]

great explanation on why you use sand under the pavers, most people don't believe you need it but you absolutely do especially in the northern states. Very simple and inexpensive way to make your walkways look beautiful. Thanks again for the awesome video.

[beverleysmith]

I have just been thinking about doing a paver walkway from my back porch steps to my shed. And this I could do Love it.

[yarelisgonzalez]

Great job 👏, I prefer peebles or stones instead mulch because I live in Florida and more durable, and yes I would use landscaping fabric, beautiful work ❤

[DaruDhillon]

Pavers are easy to install and help soften + break up the look of cold hardscaping. Pavers offer a casual, warm and elegant look that's welcoming and inviting. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your support! Have a question or comment, we love to hear from you. 👋

Those tampers do work very well, I own one and use it a lot, recently did some of the prep work for my swimming pool with it.

[cletusrobinson]

This is spot on! I have a wide area that gets no sun here in Louisiana. I think I could use your technique to get it taken care of.

[artguti]

Landscaping fabric does not stop weeds. It's mainly used to keep your base and soil separated. You'll still get weeds in-between your joints from time to time. Just use weed killer in those areas.

[jerrycho]

seems like a long time since your last tutorial. wish i saw these when i actually had a house (condo type now). still, it's great to watch. maybe i'll go back to ground level one day :)

[insensituity]

The advice in these videos is both high quality and easily digestible. It's disappointing to look down in the comments and see people try and reexplain to you little details that you already addressed, even in a short and to the point video.
Question- do you have any thoughts on those black foam 'paver base' systems? I tried that with a small paver walkway where I couldn't lay as much stone base as I needed to, and I still screeded a layer of sand underneath before laying it down. Any pitfalls you know of with that method?

[teachoc]

Great job, but I don't really understand why you need the broom handles, when yo already have the wood rails. Did the brooms make it even higher? Anyway, it was nice to hear the explanation of why each layer is important. You also made it look fun, but I know it's really not. HAHA. Do you have a cheap, diy, alternative to the tamper? Thanks!!

[artguti]

You can also use the 1 inch white plastic PVC pipe sold at Home D, Ace or Lowes for screeding your "concrete" sand.

[hmzbqng]

Thats' what I would call classic paver installation.

[Mrs.NRalphs]

Looks really good but are those pavers slippery when wet? They look like they would be.

[dong_chim]

Awesome work, but where do you find 2x4s that aren't bowed, warped and soaking wet?!

[eileenhelmick]

Glued down rock/pebbles much more attractive in between pavers. No mess or bugs !
