    Looks amazing! I'm tackling a paver patio for my next backyard project. I decided I don't want to dig down 8" so I decided to go the Brock paver base panel route. Will only have to dig down about 3" and then save on the cost of all the sub-base. We have clay in our dirt so hoping that it lends to the life of the patio!

    I've got an area outside my garage where I keep my trash and recycling cans. It's grass now but I'm thinking of putting down pavers or doing a small concrete pad, but I've never done either of those things. Where should I start learning about it? Any advice from y'all would be welcome, too!

    Hop on Pavestone's website. They have nice how-to on installing pavers.

    It's not difficult, just a little tedious.

    Anyone recommend a landscape (concrete) brick adhesive for top row on a small patio wall?

    I have seen the Loctite Block Adhesive at HD.

    My two pallets of block arrive today.

    https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oldcast...ll-Block-140-Pieces-Pallet-16253216/311781612

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Breezeway cover is done, well except roofing! It's waterproofed now though. Pics when done.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    We were camping for a week or so. Had reception amazingly...........so didn't miss you guys.

    The Loctite or the DAP masonry adhesive would be my suggestion.

    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    If it is the "Loctite landscape adhesive" then --a big YES -- it works super good. Just don't be stingy with applying the stuff and stay away a bit from your outer (exposed) areas as it does ooze out some with the weight of the blocks or bricks . This is what I used : LOCTITE PL 500 28-fl oz Landscape Block Construction Adhesive in the Construction Adhesive department at Lowes.com
    I did buy it in the 12 pack (big tubes 28oz) With the case discount and my Vet discount The price was great - I returned 4 tubes, as I did not use it all. Funny thing about the stuff was that it does not stick to the cloth on your pants at all -just rolls off after it dries. I learned how to wipe my hands on my pants as a kid!
    I made 12x12 inch x 33 inches tall pillars for a decorative/safety fence out of Edger blocks. my edgers were 12x3x4 each I'll try to get a pic later

    I used the Locktite adhesive when I build my walls (using Pavestone winsor blocks.) It works just fine. Make sure you get plenty of tubes - I used more than I thought I would.

    Liquid Nails would be my suggestion for the top of the wall.
