Installing 3000 Sqft of Plank Pavers from Basalite ($80,000 +)

all right so now the fun part comes laying
almost 3000 square feet of pavers we
already got all the demo out
we got everything gone now it's time for
the base rock man check out how many
trucks we got base rock is here when we
need it
and the pavers are here when we need it
great hardscapes start here is that
right so these pavers are very modern
they're special they're long and there's
two colors there's a black and there's a
white and once you order them you
can't get any more unless you order them
two months in advance so if you
underestimate you're screwed if you
overestimate ya throw em away which
means you lots of money
while the boys are hammering down in the
front I'll show you what we did the
fence is almost finished another
horizontal fence these are big man they
look decent I like them
pavers favors favors pavers pavers
pavers everywhere pavers BAM
and that little section is garden all in
their garden a little grass patch so
you're probably wondering you're like
hey how did you get those pallets in the
back because there ain't no room on this
side for the big boy come in caterpillar
right no room I'll tell you
snuck those pallets in in the backyard
everything went a lot faster so that was
the risk versus reward high-risk
high-reward
you risk it all man put it on the line
and you get rewarded the second truck of
pavers man look at this cuz your boy
concrete truck is here
alright man we're done really nice
we're almost done with grading the
driveway the base rocks in already all
you have these compacted the concrete is
done it's finished it's time the day has
come finally going to start the driveway
we got 15 more pallets on the way we got
three trucks of pavers which is a little
crazy
so we're screening the sand right now to
make sure these level
end of day 10 and we got to drive away
it's pretty much done we got a few more
to go
so I was wrong not two weeks it took
three weeks but don't be a hater
sometimes I'm wrong what's the big deal
look at this man come on you ain't never
gonna see pavers like this before the
whole idea of this deal is to match this
the bar code right and we tried to get
the white in the middle of the car so it
wouldn't get so dirt hanging out by my
I'm a porta potti that I paid $200 a
month for this is it not a big deal so
look at the driveway
what an incredible looking driveway
these are my favorite pavers that we've
done so far for sure so you might be
wondering man how did you do this how'd
you do this in 11 days well I didn't do
it myself man I did it with a team you
need a team all of you guys are doing
long here all you people are doing long
here you always trying to do stuff
yourself you're like hey man solo mowing
you know I'm a solopreneur look mediate
we gotta get some people man get some
people stop trying to do stuff yourself
I saw this one video this guy was doing
mulch and he was like solo spreading
are you complaining or are you bragging
which one is it
because it sounds good complaining
alright alright so look man we're done
this is a model for the shoot click
click click click click click click and
we're finished look at how beautiful
this looks
look how magnificent it looks we're done
driveways done random pattern inspired
by a barcode right this is inspired by a
barcode it looks pretty nice pretty nice
we got a little raised concrete
flowerbed little planter area 12 inches
and we got some nice plants in there
with some gold rock right to throw it
off a little bit we got a little get a
little lighting there a little lighting
over there this is redwood so the
staining still has to be done here we
got a little cutouts with the door after
the staining it's going to look awesome
all these little lines are going to go
away and now we're walking in to the
door right we got a little stoop action
with another stoop and then a big stoop
and the cool thing about these are they
got lights inside a man
those lights alright we got lights
inside the deal looks pretty dope I'm
loving it we got a little area we walked
down okay beautiful we got a little
grass area for the dogs to chill some
more plants the fire pit which has
propane and it's wired in there under
this thing some lights inside the wall
this is a seating wall you have to come
here hang out get the sit on down oh and
you get the chill while enjoying your
fire and sipping on a margarita what's
the big deal right no big deal okay
walking up the stairs going into the
backyard going into the backyard by the
way this tree is perfect for this house
all right walk into the backyard and we
got the valves for the grass and the
plants there walk into the block walk
into the back all right and over here we
got some planters first and vegetables
here we got a little grass area
beautiful a horizontal fence
unbelievable this is ridiculous how can
we do so great I'll tell you how
we just do it we don't think about it we
do it job took a little bit longer than
I anticipated but you finished it
customers happy
I'm happy we all happy man right we all
happy I lost one one guy on this job
decided to take attitude I had to let
him go how'd it go
part of bidness a lot of things I did
great on a lot of things we did great on
but some the one thing I didn't make a
mistake was these pavers are special
they're big pavers there are four inches
versus normal pavers are about two
inches and I didn't account for the sand
that goes between the pavers originally
I had estimated thousand bucks for the
sand right we spent two grand on sand
because the pavers are twice as thick
the sand just goes deep inside and I'm
like where's the sand man but is it is
what it is
my mistake I learned from it I'm not
gonna go tell the customer that you
learn man you learn these things so now
if you ever do in these pavers in the
future and they're thick charged double
on the polymeric sand always charge
double this place looks pretty gnarly
like come on like a dope this looks
looks pretty darling you know and I'd
really think this tree makes it and then
we also ran into a problem with the
stoop my guys he did the stupid
correctly so he had to lay this tile all
over again I'm going to rip it all out
late again that was probably a six
thousand dollar mistake where is part of
bidness man if you're too scared of
these mistakes then you ain't got no
business being in this business you know
