Love that the kids are helping. my 1.5 and 3 tear old are always helping daddy in the yard.
Also I love this patio and I plan to follow this video for my own
Looks amazing and I love your crew.
😎👍 Thanks for the info and sharing a fun little Family project.
Peace
Excellent video. Easy to follow instructions. Thanks.👌
I like Mr Blue shirt giving the stink eye as he filled the bucket with water. Helped my Dad with many projects as a kid. Give anything to have 1 last project with him.
This is very very nice thanks for sharing. This gives me. Great idea of building my fire pit area
Awesome! Hope y'all enjoy it
Wow! It turned out great! Awesome job!
Love the presentation!
OUTSTANDING!
you did great job
My husband and I watched your video and just before you mentioned you made a mistake my husband said .. ohh he just laid the rock like that. İ said wait...he just said he made a mistake. Loved this project. Thanks and enjoy your fire pit along with your family.
Fantastic Job!!! Beautiful!!! You can use my yard for your next video!! LOL!!
Nice land! Love the diy projects! Thanks man (15F)
I like it, you did a great job man!
Looks great.
I love it! Awesome job!
Thanks!
I think you did a great job and I picked up many great pointers. I give you a lot of credit for taking this job on. I'm sure many wondered how much you have in your project my guess is 1500 - 1800 in materials which I'm thinking would cost approximately $4,500 if you had an outside contractor do it. Thanks for posting looks great
Thanks for the info.
You have tons of great videos! Love your channel
Thanks
Thank you lam going to try to do it by myself
what did you forget you had a tractor when you were digging it all out lol
it looks good and it will create memories your family will remember
Haha Tractor was at a friend's house during that part lol
Muy bueno 😃
Nice work man! BTW you should get a fire ring and use a step bit to cut the holes around the top and bottom. I did that on mine and it eliminates a lot of smoke.
How do you do that?
Thanks for sharing your project. Can you share where you bought the specific fire pit bricks you use in the video?
Nice!
Nice job dude 🙌🏻
Thanks
Excellent job. Don’t always need landscape fabric. You can spray the ground first before you put the rock down instead with some type of chemical. Landscape fabric over time starts building moss and can build grass in that and it will start popping up.
my dad was old school & always used roofing felt for landscape fabric lol
I was watching your diy garage stuff and I was wondering if you live near Alabama and could possibly suggest best places to get them?
I like it
Excluding the walkway what are the dimensions of the the exterior area of the square? 16 x16?
I dug a 6in wide and 1.5ft deep hole in the center and filled with gravel to allow rain water to drain down in the soil easier
I did all you are doing plus the landscape fabric around the perimeter or my above ground pool. The fabric was no help. I still battle weeds and grass growing through all my layers. Cardboard then sand, then fabric and topped with gravel. Complete waste of time and energy. Next time I worked on that type project I went straight for the roundup. I killed the ground beneath completely before I graveled and that method proved much more successful. Your patio and pit look AWESOME btw and I love that you all made it a family project.
Make sure you wear a mask with the Roundup.
Pretty easy when u have perfect level ground to start on.
Not level at all. Just gotta dig more!!!
@@PatriotDIY it’s pretty level. I live in New England and any time I build something like that, I have to build retaining wall too. They don’t have many level yards in my area. That’s all.
How much did it cost?
My advice to you is the day we think we know it all is the day we will stop learning. Just don't make that mistake twice. Great freaking job
Great video! Thanks for sharing, great information. One question; what made you go with a concrete pad?
Easier to clean out the pit!
@@PatriotDIY make sense. Thanks!
what kind of gravel did you use?
Nice job, how has it held up? Any issue with drainage?
Held up great!
What size rock did you use
What type of gravel did you use?
Hey quick question is that #57 gravel and how much did you use?
To be honest, he's not sure what kind of gravel, but as far as how much, it was an arm and a leg.
How much Gravel did you use for the space I am in the process of building my but I am not sure how much gravel I need
Had one 15ton truck load delivered. Used about 3/4 of it for this and used the rest to fill in around my shop
A água da chuva vai para onde?
What size and type rock was used in the walkway and sitting area
3:08 You cracked the wall cap when hammering lol
Where did you buy the benches? Thanks again!
Home depot
How deep did you dig for the patio? Do you think the pavers are necessary?
4 inches. And no, not necessary but they do create a nice barrier to keep grass out of your rock and rocks out of your grass! And they look nice
What type of rocks did you use?
It's a good thing you had your super cute inspectors on site. You may have messed up, if it weren't for watchful eyes.
Did you ever experience the cement popping and blowing a chunk out of it?
Have you had any problems with weeds in the patio or the border shifting?
No, just keep it sprayed with roundup
I use a flame king propane torch to get rid of weeds around our fire pit.
@@ZombieAcid Well done SkittlyDoo, Roundup is toxic, terrible for everybody; including the environment 👍
Hi, do you mind telling me the detentions you went with?
Dimensions
I have a question.... are those woods in the back yard I wouldn't be comfortable with kids playing outside I'd always have a rifle at hand .. and I would put an electric fence and traps along with ... motion sensors along the property line
Lol yes about 200 acres of woods....
And an army brigade?
Can you post the exact fire pit kit you used? Please!
No sorry, bought it from a local person off marketplace
What benches do you have in the video?
Not sure, it was an outdoor set from home depot
I can’t find your fire pit kit anywhere can you help me locate the same one?
Bought mine locally on Facebook marketplace
What king of gravel/rock did you use for this?
To bed honest I'm not sure. It's typically used in driveways
That looks like 3/4" blue stone crushed
Where did you find the block for the pit?
Facebook marketplace. But most landscape suppliers can get it
It looks fantastic, but couldn’t you have laid down heavy duty plastic over the grass instead of digging it up? Just curious. Thanks.
You could, but that would put your patio above ground level, just depends on what you want
@@PatriotDIY Many thanks for the reply.... I am currently working on a similar project and researching on youtube. Thanks for posting the video. It was very helpful.
How much was the rocks
What size limestone did you use??
I just got regular driveway stone. Not sure on size
Hey bro how big is the square u made to put the fire pit ?
I believe it is around 20x20'
Thank you
Any weeds yet from the lack of fabric on the main area???
A couple but nothing that can't just be easyly pulled or sprayed periodically. None in the areas that have fabric
Cost?
What is the measurements
What firepit kit is this?
Not sure, got it off marketplace
What about keeping the smoke little to none because i have neighbors really close by
Get a smokeless fire pit...or better neighbors 🤣
Where you buy this fire pit? Home Depot?
2nd hand from Facebook marketplace
What kinda rock is that?
Regular driveway gravel
Let's play "equipment most of us don't have" bingo.
Ummmmm. A shovel?
@@PatriotDIY Really? A zero-turn with an aerator, a four wheeler with a trailer, a truck and trailer, a tiller, and a tractor. Is that what you're calling a shovel @9:07
@harleyburton2413 really? Lol the aerator and tiller was just to loosen my hard ground, you don't need them, it can be done with any aerator or no aerator at all, you can use a wheel barrow instead of a trailer or tractor, and yes...a shovel.
If you were expecting me to do it with just my hands im sorry i dissapointed you!
I'm pretty sure a saw a video of a couple Indian kids building a pool in the jungle with just a stick....maybe thats more your speed?
@@PatriotDIY Look, I think you've got a little more excited about my comment than is warranted, but while we're here, yes, you could do it with less. In fact, you COULD do it with your hands if you wanted to, but my point stands. Your DIY channel has equipment that isn't standard for the DIYer. And when someone makes a comment on a video where you are using a tractor a fourwheeler and a 4x4 and your response is "a shovel?" you may be out of touch. Use what you have. Do what you want on your channel. Heck, choose to contract it out and video that. It's your channel. BUT, don't get upset when someone notices you have more equipment than the majority of us. I still truly don't understand how that comment upset you even.
@@quebirt 👍
What was the actual size of the patio area?
20 x 20 I think
@@PatriotDIY thank you! I’m using your video as inspiration for my own fire pit build!! Thanks
Do you know how much gravel did you use and the size of the rocks? Thank you in advance!!!
How much did that cost?
it looks like an arm and a leg, but I'm not sure.
My guess they have about 15 to 1800 dollars material in it and I would guess about 4500 if they had an outside contractor do it
Sounds terrible since I’m lazy lol but would be nice to do.
Where's the patio?
A stupid question from a guy born and raised in NYC now living the good life in the country. Why can't you just lay landscaping paper on top of the grass and build from there versus digging out the entire area? We have some logistics issues with hauling all the dirt and grass away. And if this is a totally ridiculous question don't hesitate to say so :)
The goal here was to me at or just above ground level. You could go on top but you may end up 4+ inches above the ground.
If you want to know something bad enough it doesn't matter how it makes others feel, brother. 🙂
another main reason to remove the grass is to eliminate grass or weeds from popping up through the weed barrier. In my experience that stuff is junk and pointless since it breaks down over time and weeds just poke right through. Now imagine your beatiful gravel with grass and weeds poking through in patches. Do it once, do it right! 😊
If you're going to do it that way, use driveway lining fabric instead of weed barrier. It's a couple mils thick and will hold up a lot better over time.
One other reason you want to dig out the grass and topsoil is that it's really loose and compactible so you're probably going to get some spots that sink
That would be nice but for one thing grass doesn't provide a good base for a patio. You need a fairly solid foundation underneath. And to make a foundation like that requires height, about 4 to 6 inches.
You'll need a few inches of base gravel to provide a good platform for the top layer of gravel you want to use which will also be a couple inches thick. So if you leave the grass you'll end up having to build the edges up to suit the height of all your layers. You'll have a patio that sits 4 to 6 inches above the ground with a few layers of brick or pavers along the edge. It'll look like a fancy sandbox rather than a patio.
13:09 cracked ,ouch one tap to many :) But still nice work overall
Cracked My thumb a few times too! Lol
@@PatriotDIY 👍😉
@@PatriotDIY You did a great job pal. Just wished you lived close by so I could get you to do mine. I got a bad back, so I guess I'll never be able to put one of these in.
Cracked that capstone @ 13:10. Rock don’t bend bro…you neat it it like it owed you money.🤷🏻♂️
it came in 2 pieces
@@jonburrows2684 And like Tony said it's now three!
@13:09 looks like you cracked the end of the cap 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ you should have banged on the pavers, not the cap 🤔🤔🤔
Thays ALOT of hand shoveling !!!! Ibwas all for doing this project my self until I seen that!!!!! Got a bad back and that's back breaking work right there
Same here. Bad back is preventing me from doing this myself.
I have a bad back as well guys, failed back surgery, fusion, the works. You don’t have to do it in one day. I’ve been doing mine for 2 weeks lol. I do a little at a time. Good luck and best wishes!
Step 1: Have thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Lol
Borrowed the tiller! And the rocks could be moved with wheel barrow!! Just saying! I did shovel thousands of pounds of dirt though!! Lol
Should be titled how to mess up stuff... i had to keep watching the train wreck.
Sand under the edging to level it? How about Mortar/concrete level and they stay inplace... sand shifts first time its wet
Concrete slab under fire pit? You could just let it be gravel and set pavers with Concrete atop the gravel base layer.
I was like hes not puting down a barrier layer... works till dusk and realizes he didnt put down barrier layer.... at that point I was done...
Do not follow this methodology
It's been fine for 2 years now, edging has stayed exactly where it's supposed to be. And yes the concrete under the fire pit makes cleaning it out super easy.
I never claimed to be a professional landscaper/hardscape installer, but what i did works, and has held up well for us. If you think It should be done different awesome...get out of my comment section and go do it.
Well listen to Mr effing perfect who has nothing on his channel as far as this type of work! Go crawl back into mommy and daddy's basement
Says the @themegabitgamer lol. Some people just have nothing but rude in them… sad.
