    Another wonder commentary not to mention great work also. I can see the growth of your business. Benny is more involved, I see him laying down more and seems very confident in doing it. I can relate when it comes to just putting your head down and going full 100% on your primary business. Your videos are so educational it is worth waiting to see them. It’s like waiting for the next semester at school knowing you will learn something new or just how to be a great worker with great quality finishes. Take your time to post my brother. If you over post it gets watered down. I can’t wait to see the July 2024 job whenever it comes. Take your time to post.

    I have watched you for nearly a year now and learned so much about hardscaping. Thank you so much, I was able to tell if the guys who did my patio did it yo your standards and methods, and they sort of did, but the concrete they put ariund the edges to hold the pavers in is done very poorly, they didn't smooth it like you do, plus the pushed the 3/4 and the bedding stone into it, now I can't place anything abutting the pavers.
    Question: Can the poorly done concrete be cut away and redone without too much damage to the pavers?
    Really wish you were in my area, I would have hired you!!!
    Hoping you can give me some ideas of how to fix their mess!
    Thank you for all you do and for your RUclips videos, it's okay, I will always wait patiently for your new uploads. Do you and live your life, BTW, you wife is a sweet soul!

    Beautiful work!
    In regards to drainage, in your other videos you’ve said not to overly compact the soil sub-grade because that will prevent it from draining. But what do you do when the soil sub-grade is dense clay that’s already impermeable when you first dig down to it? How do you make it permeable so rainwater doesn’t just pool up in the crushed aggregate layer?

    • @brettvrancken6378
      @brettvrancken6378 2 месяца назад +1

      I also wonder about that. I just finished a 400 sqft travertine firepit patio on dense clay subsoil. My solution was to excavate the grade tip as close to a 1/8 slope as possible, then i dug trenches around the perimeter and through the diagonal to install 4" pvc drain pipe wrapped in a fabric sock. It all feeds to the low corner and drains to daylight about 10 feet past the patio edge. Then i installed QP, then 3/4" base, then the 3/8" screed layer, all installed and compacted as per his usual MO. I just finished, hoping for the best.

    Hi another excellent informative video. I have a question. I had a new paver patio installed in May 2024 it’s about 1500 sq ft and it’s Cambridge pavers. Light gray paver with black paver on the edge with black polymeric sand and also a sitting wall. I’ve noticed that leaves when they get wet from the rain they stain the pavers. So now I’m looking to apply a sealant. Can you recommend a really good sealant and is there a period to wait before applying sealant on new pavers. Please let me know your thoughts.

    • @tedspens
      @tedspens 4 месяца назад

      I'd like to know this too.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  4 месяца назад +3

      Thank you very much! That is a good question… So leaves do stain pretty quickly, however after blowing the leaves off and letting the sun hit the pavers for awhile actually fades those stains away naturally. Weird how it happens but they do go away. And honestly, I never seal the pavers I install. Because even if you seal them, those leave stains will then just be on top of the sealer instead of the pavers. And sealer typically is only good for a season or 2 before it breaks down. So having to do it every year or every other year without many benefits isn’t worth it in my opinion. It really depends on who you talk to about sealers, but I don’t really work with them…. Plus, if you do it wrong, it could mess things up. So if you do want to seal them, you need to wait 60-90 days after polymeric sand was installed to make sure it is set and the pavers have been thoroughly cured by the sun. Then be sure they are completely dry before applying the sealer. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful on that subject ✌🏻

      @@TheChristianHardscaper, I had a paver company come out and honestly told me to not apply sealant. He recommended every spring after the pollen has fallen do a surface cleaning and enjoy the patio for the summer. Only surface clean once a season and should last long time looking good. So with his recommendation and your comment I think that’s the route I’m going to go. Appreciate your opinion and enjoy watching your videos.

    @ajayvirgill7489 3 месяца назад

    Amazing work! I wanted to ask you a quick question and it would mean a lot to get your opinion!
    You know how screed using the pipes, have you tried to do using paint? The paint act acts as a reference when screeding similar to the pipes. It’s my dad’s technique. I’ve always wanted to do it with pipes but I found this way a bit easier.
    What we do is place the paver to finish height with hpb and then at about the 8ft mark place another paver at finish height with pitch. We place level on it to make sure it touch all ends of the paver and then remove the paver and paint the square. We then use the level and using the paint as a reference make a line with the hp making sure it’s flat and no gaps and then paint a straight line on that. We then basically screed but have to be careful not to remove the paint lines or else we’d go to low
    Hope that made sense.
    I tried googling online this technique but didn’t have any luck so I wanted to ask you if you’ve heard of it? Does it seem like a good method?
    Any advice is much appreciated! Your videos are my go to reference whenever I need help and you inspired me to start a business.
    All the best,
    Jay
