I've just started work on my first patio. My first proper DIY job really. This video has helped calm my nerves. Thankyou!

Great Video - We are happy to be one of your Stockists in Hitchin, Hertfordshire :)

Greate advice and explanation for DIY enthusiasts!

Great job!

Great video! Very well done!

a beautiful and neat layout with any creativity so it's comfortable, spirit, good luck

You should always prime the tile too in my opinion for better adhesion .

cheers good job

Great video. Got really confused with the word “flags”. Kept looking for the Union Jack.

Skip to 1:55....you are welcome.

Dig 30 cm deep about 10 cm wider than the patio you want. Compact in 5 cm of base stone. Cement in border stones. Compact in 17 cm of base stone. Top with 5 cm of 3 - 5 stone drawn flat. Lay 3 cm pavers. Fill with quartz sand.

pane jo, to je NÁDHERA !!!

What sort of plate compactor should be used to compact soil and hardcore? Can a small compactor be used (even if I go over the area a few times)?

Awesome

Thank you

What mortar ratio did you use? I am planning to use 25kg cement and 6 no. 20kg sharp sand. What do you think thanks

Nice

So in this video you say you use sharp sand in the list of materials. But for the mortar mix you say you use building sand to lay the patio on and sharp sand isn't mentioned again throughout the video. I have used building sand for the majority of my project (which actually is a lot easier to work with) but actually everyone else I have asked have told me I should use sharp.

Cool video Brett.

Just chuck the slabs on top of the grass

Do I create a fall when lay the hardcore or when I'm laying down the pavers with cement?

not how I would have done it but not bad.building sand for pointing, sharp sand for mixing sand screed which I would have done dry

What are the rocks called in 3:31? I am completely new to this world of DIY and I couldn't catch what he called it. An accurate answer would be much appreciated. :)

What is the size of drop on drainage drop?

With that much cement you could build a house on top of that

how big a gap are you leaving between slabs?

Can u put a hot tub on a patio

How we made paces

I'm doing 36 Square meters is it just the same deal ? The mot type 1 is going onto concrete is this okay ? Cheers

Why would you want a patio in the middle of a huge paddock?

I was going to do it myself. Now I'm thinking... 🤔 What areas does Brett paving operate,?? 😄😄

I cant seem to find a rubba mallet

could you sent me a pdf catalouge and pricing please

First of all a dry slab won't stick on cement, at least if its not like really really wet but not advised

Ridiculous amount of mortar. You’re laying a patio not a trunk road!

Is it me or that's a lot cement doing that way, why no membrane ever..

i don't do patios but why not lay it on a lime mortar

do you not need to lay a membrane down to stop weeds coming through ?

What the hell is with using that much mortar?

five parts building sand??? should that not be grit sand?

Use membrane its cheap and will stop weeds

como sacar nibeles

Also,a five to one pointing mix is too weak, especially when they recommend it to be mixed semi-dry.Should be a three to one wet mix. Maybe the idea is that it will be easier to lift and relay should you decide to do the job properly.

wafflers

he hit the slab in the corner, thats a big no no, always hit in the middle

just pay some lowes guy to do it

Too much work. we now screed on one inch conduit or the like. Compaction is key then gravel that holds form and binds together, then a bed of stone dust to allow discernment of intellectual compository properties the variance of forgiveness and akin to steel and metals. In other words, build your base , compact. Build another base of gravel, compact. Bed of dust with pitch and polymeric sand. um, right?

Get the pikeys in, do it properly

Ruined a good lawn

Screen

no way those don't pop up without a adhesive painted on the back of the stones....

patio area I need to lay is uneven n huge area! aw nutz gonna be pricey

To many steps left out for a beginner to do the job.

All that for a fucking bench

You can't wack soil whacker won't travel 😝

This is a long-winded ad...

Wasn't expecting a sales pitch at the start! 😞 didn't bother watching the video!

oh man , too much work.. I just mowed the lawn real short..put 6 mil down..got some sand.. and laid 'em down.. no digging'' works
