Paver Patio - Laying BIG SLABS!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Continue the paver installation by laying more of the main field pavers and curved border pavers. For tight curves or specific designs like the double Montauk border, utilize a custom 2x4 screed board with a central pivot to ensure precise radius and evenness. Transport additional gravel using a Bobcat MT100 mini skid steer to replenish the base material as needed. Spread and screed the gravel, then lay the pavers, ensuring a consistent pattern and flush surfaces. Use a specialized vacuum lifter to safely and efficiently move large format pavers (2x3 foot slabs) into place, preventing back strain and ensuring accurate positioning.

Goal: Complete the paver installation across various sections, including large format pavers

[Music] So, we're working on this area now, and we're going to essentially try to finish this as we work that way. So, we can bring our pavers in nice and close so we can bring the screen in and then work our way back towards the entrance to the backyard. So, uh hopefully we'll have all of this done hopefully by the end of today. I think we'll be pretty close cuz once we get past this kind of detail area that we're working on, we're going to be working with uh some 2ft by 3 ft slabs. So, square footage will go pretty quick, but we still got a lot of cuts. So, um we'll see. We'll see. But we got rained out yesterday and we need to get some stuff done. Looking good. These glasses are insane. They're ridiculous. All right. So, we're going to start laying in our uh double monta border. So, we've got this 2x4 cut to 175. That is the inside of our border. So, we have our center point, which we pulled all of our layout off of. And now I'm just going to go around, use that as a radius, and bing, bang, boom. Perfect circle. Hi. What do you got here? Got a uh got a replacement for the dingo. It's about time. So, uh it looks like you're already wrenching on it. It's not broken down. It's not broken down. I'm just It comes with counterweights. I'm moving the counterwes, but uh I figure out exactly where to go. Ah, look how clean it is in here. Yeah. Wow. is like looks so much easier to like access and all. That's good. All right, I'll let you get back to it.
