How To Make Your Own Concrete Pavers Like a Pro (S1 Ep17)

How to make your own concrete pavers like a pro
DIY Paver Patio Installation
In this video, you can see how I make DIY pavers for my patio. And how I saved a lot of money by making DIY pavers.
Just so you know, I'm making DIY pavers for the first time.
- The first step was to make a wooden mold
- The second step is measuring and leveling the terrain
- And the third step is mixing the cement with sand and filling the mold, and then repeat this many times.

I found that the best mix of cement, concrete, and sand is 3 parts sand to one part cement. Water by feeling.
You will see how to lay pavers on the ground of the yard.

And so I make a patio in front of my mobile tiny house build.

To finish this tiny mobile home I need about two more months. And then we have to find another tiny mobile home project.
Stay tuned for more tiny home builds!

I love how real this is. No douchebag music, not highly produced...it's slow and not too much talking! Just when he needs to. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Three suggestions, 1. Run the timber through a table saw to taper the edges, this would allow the mould to come out clean, a 5 deg angle would be fine. 2. Run a bead of silicon round the tops of your mould to form a rounded finish on the concrete. 3. Oil the mould before use. Good video, thanks.

Just a suggestion: Put a couple of handles on the top of it (maybe 4 of them), so it will ve much more easy to lift that wooden frame. Anyway, thanks for the video, it is a very good idea to share.

Saved so much money and physical labor of moving each one individually!!! Thank you

Just brilliant! You can custom make a template to your liking and your particular project area. Fantastic! And adding sand to the cement to make it more pliable is even better. Now, you can propably spray vegetable oil to your template to make it easier to remove.

Great it's exactly what I was thinking of making for my front garden. Thank you for sharing. I also wondered about the mix ratio for the best, now I know. Well done! It will probably take me a lot longer to do(I'm 72) but I will have a go anyway. I do have a cement mixer - a little treat for myself.. ;) so that should help a lot.

You worked very hard on this project. It turned out so nice. Great job sir!

[herrlip]

loved the knee pad idea with the socks and stuffing and the make shift tee-shirt hat and neck protection from the sun

To make the frame easier to pull free, you could use an enamel/glossy paint on the wood and give it a quick spray with water after each section so nothing sticks.

Awesome stuff that will last for years and years. I'm doing this with my driveways so I'll be using 2x4s for framing. Thank you for sharing your project

I just came across your channel, very interesting like the way you did your patio ad your house build great work Robert. Billy from Scotland UK

Very inspiring video. I learnt from watching you work and reading all the tips and constructive comments on the video.

[blackietotheend]

I really like the little imperfections, makes it look home made and less clinical. Great job.

[hugorodrigo]

I'm very proud to be brasilian, when I saw someone in the other side of the world using a "Votorantin" cimento, made in Brazil, and dooing a awensome job like this!

[frederickhalgedahl]

Great job, Robert! (And good suggestions below from people who also appreciated your hard work.) Additionally… Anyone who takes the few moments necessary to share affection with his cat gets my vote. Good luck to you! FH

As you go with it, you'll be better. Another idea is after an hour (depending on how fast the concrete you use dries) or so, wash the concrete gently with a hose, it will give you a grain finish. You do great!

[rwells]

You will get better results if you let the concrete setup a bit longer, and use a curb tool on the edges prior to removing the form. Another helpful tip for the DIYer's, rinse the forms and spray the insides with cheap cooking spray, this will allow the form to slide off easier.
