For anyone wanting to know if this works - two of us built a small patio 2 years ago in the garden using this method, we did it in an afternoon (no experience in paving whatsoever) in the U.K. and two years later it’s perfectly fine! We’re so pleased with it and the rustic look we are building another one this year

I did a circular patio and added a water fountain. It turned out great and I have Ashley to thank! Ashley, you took away the fear factor! Thank you 😊

Omg Thank u. My daughter just bought a house and cannot afford to hire someone to make a much needed patio out back so I’ve been searching the internet looking for something that we can do ourselves. THIS IS IT! Thank u so much.

My husband has procrastinated for the past 8 years to lay bricks for our fire pit. This video is perfect in encouraging me to do it myself. Can't wait to pickup my supplies.

this video showed me more than other videos that are like 30 minutes long. omg. i am definitely going to do this easier way

Thank you for showing a simple way to create a brick path - simple solutions from simple people

I have look all over KZfaq and this video on making a brick walkway is the best and easiest. Thanks for posting.

Oh my goodness. This is AMAZING and looks so much easier than what I had been imagining! I have laid so many pathways, over and over, using sand - just to have weeds poking through the next year. This is perfect and I'm going to try it! Thank you for posting this!

Glad I found this, didn't have to watch a 20+ minute video to learn a backyard project!

Just used your method to pave my driveway and build a path to my garden! Easy, simple, effective. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!

I've been looking around for easy methods and this beats the lot so far. It's a slightly rough finish but I like that, seems more rustic and natural. Great video and thanks for sharing the idea!

Now that is exacly what I was looking for! Just a simple self explanatory video! Thank you I'll try this 😊

This looks so... easy! I like that you poured the cement powder first in all the spaces between the bricks , then added water to harden! Great job!!

Thanks for showing you (woman) doing yardwork. It's inspiring for me!

Honestly ....this woman 👩put all the world's stone masons to shame with her method...brilliant...turn women loose on every construction project!

Thank you so much for this!!! Just bought the materials today and I will be trying this method. We live in the desert where it almost never rains so I think it should be fine without having to lay the bricks on a gravel and sand base.

This video is so helpful. I was overwhelmed with doing this job myself, but now, I can't wait to start. Thank you so much! You go girl!

This is the best I have seen when it comes laying bricks. Thank you so much for the knowledge. Love this

So incredibly happy with how our brick bistro area turned out. Thanks to your video it gave us the confidence to give it a try and it turned out beautifully.

I’ve watched so many videos about wooden decking, and seemed so much work. I’ve just got given a load of bricks for free and seen so many complicated variations of laying. I want a rough and ready look and I’m going to do this. Definitely. Hardest but will be levelling the ground as it’s a large area. Thank you 🙏🏼

Simple and effective! Going to do my backyard next weekend. The beauty is the bricks don't have to be perfectly align as the imperfections add character to the floor, especially in an outdoor patio.

Yo le quiero agradecer por este video, lo vi hace como 3 años. su técnica y que usted lo hizo, a mi me motivo para hacerlo también. puse banqueta de ladrillos al rededor de mi casa, jardín y mi patio. Gracias a su video mi casa se ve muy bonita con su banqueta. Muchas gracias ☺️ 👍🏻 me gustaría poder enseñarle fotos!

And thank you for not blasting us out with loud muzak, good instructional video!

You rock! this is my favorite method by far. Thanks so much for not overthinking it and making a great video for us to learn from.

You are the best! Parents need small personal patio area outside their door thought I might have to hire cementing guys. This looks like what I had in mind, Thank you.

i tried this method and it works so well ..thanks .. you're an angel to our yard..👼👍

Thank you! Going to do repair work tomorrow on my brick walkway following video instructions.

An amazing job. Well done. I have a small area in my back yard, and I'm definitely going to do this. Thanks for the great instructional video!

Thanks so much! I'm getting ready to lay a brick walkway and I have found through a lot of searching, that I like this way best. Have a great day being creative.

omg this is so pretty. i thought i wouldn't like the final look but i rather like how vibrant it seems, yes, this radiates personality.

Thank you! I will definitely follow what you did to create a small path in the backyard👍🤗

I was scared after watching more than 10 so called DIY pavement videos. Thought I might just give up. But thank you lady! I saw your video right in time! The result is a little bit rough but meet my requirement. Good job!

Yes girl! You show those men how it's done. ;)

thank u for this easy method, never thought pouring cement first and then wet it. I was thinking mixing cement first and then fill the gaps...a million times thanks.

Great video. I used this method about 22 years ago. I read about this method in a masonry book, pre-KZfaq. The brick walkway held up well for 10-15 years, then it developed cracks and weeds started growing through the cracks. I am now researching methods to repoint the brick walkway. Here is what I have found and what I have decided to do. Seems like the most popular method, outside of just using sand, is to use polymeric sand. However several professional landscapers have KZfaq videos warning that the polymeric sand only last 3-5 years and will need to be redone, that is not acceptable to me. Several of the landscapers have gone to epoxy resin based grouts, such as Easy Joint or Romex Rompox Easy. There are lots of positive reviews for these epoxy resin products, very easy to apply and sets up hard. The problem is cost, to re-grout my small 115 sf brick walkway will cost over 1200 USD, just in product. Additionally the epoxy resin products can be difficult to obtain. The 3rd way to repoint is to mix cement and sand and manually put the wet mixture into the joint. While inexpensive, this is a lot more effort than I was hoping for, plus it requires more skill than other methods. Then I ran across this video, only I have found which demonstrates the method I used 22 years ago. I think one of the important steps is to keep applying the water until it is no longer absorbed by the dry cement. I don't recall doing that 22 years ago. While cleaning out the old joints I found some of the cement did not get wet to form a hard concrete. Maybe if I can get all the dry cement wet it will last longer than 10-15 years. The one thing I did differently from this video is I poured 6 inch concrete slab under the bricks, as a result the bricks have been very stable. I would think this important if you plan to drive a vehicle on the pavers. Thanks for the video, it was a good solution for me 22 years ago and after watching this video, think I will use the method again.

Thank you that was very helpful. Will be making my first patio soon.

Thank you, thank you!! I'm starting this ASAP in my back yard. The others are just too much work and money..

Tried it and loved it! Thanks you so much I have been putting off doing this paving job for years saw your video and was inspired and it was sooo easy even did inside our chook pen after we finished the path. Its fantastic easy way to do a brick path and my wife was also duly impressed, with ME, thanks again!

Hi, I love your video, and I hope to build my daughter a beautiful reading area that will be surrounded by plants using your method. Now that I found your video, in the next couple of weeks, that dream will finally come true. Thank you so much :)

Ive always used sand to fill in the cracks. Today im going get some quick crete!!!! Tired of weeds growing thru

Love it! Going to do this for my driveway, Thank you so much! Couldn't have done it better or made it easier

I am man and this woman is my hero! 👍

See girls can do ANYTHING!!! And she made it look 100 time easier than the men hahahahaha YOU GO GIRL!

That is very helpful. Thank you for your help. I never thought it could be easy.

Great job. You make it look easy enough! :) Thanks for the inspiration.

I have a back wall brick wall, which I have been wondering how to do it because it uneven, and worried about mixing the cement and carry ,this method ,I can lay the bricks get it level and fill in the gaps without mixing it . great video saved me a lot of heavy carrying

Thank you so much for showing how simple it is. I was so afraid to try it myself & was going to hire someone, now I'm going to do it myself. 😃

That just blew my mind....

There is more preparation involved for a uniform look that will stand the test of time. I DIY the quick way as shown here (but I dont crete) and what I find is my paving is un-even and instantly looks dated, which means it instantly matches my house. So i like it :D

Holy crap this looks super easy and is the exact thing I want to do around the edge of my backyard, thanks!

I did this and it worked it's easy and effective 👍😃

This looks so easy and awesome but it's the only place I've seen these instructions. I noticed in a comment below you mentioned it looks lovely 4 years later which is great to hear because I want to do this in my backyard with my husband. Have you noticed any weeds growing through anywhere? Are there any cracks that have formed and have any bricks moved at all? I know some people like the shaky brick look, but I want them to be PERFECT for a long time. Would you mind posting a video update on how it looks now? I would love to see how it looks now! Thanks!

wow great video, practical and helpful - no tradie-speak! thanks so much!

Thank you I love how easy you made it .

I’m doing this way today for my fire pit thank you for this video. 👍

Parabéns pelo trabalho, gostaria de ver hoje como está !? Mais de qualquer forma, parabéns pela disposição e sabedoria.

This is such a wonderful video! I would love to try it.

Now this is the one! 😁👍🏾 VERY SIMPLE! & you’re correct… the hardest part will be getting those heavy bring. I was made an attempt. I wound up leaving everything right in that cart at homedepot and walked straight out the door! 😂 I’ll prepare for it next time.

Lovely idea thx for that

well done, so easy

i love the idea. Thank you. It saves me a lot of money.

Thanks very much for this tutorial! We are still building my verandah and carport, but I cant wait to laye bricks like this on my veranda floor!!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tip with us. I find it extremely helpful and very creative.

Muito bonito, parabéns!!!

Muy bien doña, Tome su like!!!

Hooola ya lo hiceee es hermooooso una parte me quedo un poco manchada porque habia llovido y al poner encima el cemento se hizo rapido grueso, recomiendo que ae realice en epoca de calor para q este completamente seco y quede nucho mas bello, mil gracias por compartir, usé 500 ladrillos comúnes para cubrir 15 metros de largo y 4 metros d ancho. Animenseee en verano seguire haciendo la otra parte y afuera para hacerme una banqueta ya que mi calle es empedrada!!

Hello, Ashley. We looked at several tutorials for laying bricks for a cellar entry. Yours was by far the most helpful. Thanks very much. PS: I see that you are Armenian and I have numerous Armenian friends here in Boston and I support Armenian causes for them and all Armenians.

Gurl friend that was great...

very gud idea.thnk u mam

Thanks for sharing!! gonna try and do it at the backyard sometime soon have a blessed day!!

I have some old bricks in my wood shed. This approach is perfect!

Question: What types of cement would work for this? (by just poring water over it...) it seems like a great idea and I would really like to try it but I've been to the store and there are many different types of cement. I already have the bricks, just need the right type of cement.

I made it too . just by using woodprix woodworking plans :)

Looks easy as far as the grouting. I would try better spacing but overall it looks good and simple. I am doing a gazebo and this seems the right

What an easy and time saving technique on lay bricks. Those who are thinking of building a house or office can get the maximum benefit out of it.

Not very professional, but practical.

Why is the Mexican way so simple and straightforward but the American way is so complicated with the whole sub soil and filling the base?

Im gonna do this the previous home owner just lay the brick now weeds grass growing in between ❤

I love it! I am going to try this method to make a little path in my garden. I am repurposing some old brick and really dont want to purchase anymore and my spaces are about double the size, I hope it will turn out as nice...I will find out soon enough! Thanks for the video :)

You are the ultimate cheater...I love you.

how to lay brick. put concrete on ground, then put brick on top. done, walk away.

Good work

I laid a 4’x8’ brick pad for a sitting area in my garden today following your video. Very easy overall and looks nice. 👍

This is the best cement work I ever seen

awesome..! no one could have explained it so simply yet effectively..!!

Great job!!!

Thank You. This looks very doable for someone with no brick laying experience to do.

that was a quick simple brick laying job well done by a woman at home , amazing talent

Just what I needed, thank you👍❤

thank you so much for this great video.. I do home renovations and this is such an easy way to create outdoor flooring. Very nice, and I love that.

Very good video, simple and straightforward.

Thanks for the help and tips great

Thank you. I laid down a beautiful brick walkway because of your video

Ben Simmons be like: "Write that down, write that down!"

Wonderful job! Looks professional.

I wish I could figure out what to do with the edges of my little brick shed, but I am going to buy concrete mix and do this!

This is such a great idea!! I will try it

This is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing your bright idea!

I wonder how well this lasts. The bricks here rest on raw dirt. Was it compacted? What effect of freeze thaw cycles? Usually extensive prep of the bed with gravel and sand plus compacting is done first. I assume that is necessary if you want a lasting result. Another thing is that concrete powder resists wetting. When the water is sprayed over the crevices, it won’t wet very deep. A lot of dry powder will remain below the surface. It might be better to mix the concrete first and squeegee it, now thoroughly mixed, into the crevices.
