The SIMPLEST Way To Install A Paver Walkway (That Won't Sink!)

What happens here

Using a Ditch Witch SK800 mini skid steer equipped with a bucket attachment, the old paver stones and the inadequate sandy base material are efficiently removed. The mini skid steer's compact size allows for easy maneuverability through the narrow pathway between the house and a fence. The excavated material is transported to a designated dump area.

Goal: Clear the area of old materials and prepare for new base layers.

Tools and materials

  • Bucket attachment Ditch Witch — Scooping and moving excavated materials
  • Old Paver Material N/A — Material being removed from the old pathway
  • Soil N/A — Material being excavated from the subgrade

I mean, the pressure has to go somewhere, right? Here is one way to move paving stones. I need to go get some materials. Hey, a little warning. I have guests today, relatives, and they want to help me with the video. I had a cousin come over, he took an international flight to visit me. Many of you don't know, but I am Russian. I was born there and still speak two languages. So my cousin is flying into town and will help me here. I don't know when he'll show up or what he'll do, to be honest, so be lenient with him . He's cool, but a little… well, you know, he thought I was special. Well, this guy is, well,
