Beautiful Work ♥ You guys are artists ! !
Turned out awesome brother great work.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Everytime I see the trailer I think of your finger injury from the gate......I was more impressed that you powered through it and got the job done!! Glad to see you back at it and great job boys!!
Man, It comes to mind for me every once and awhile when I am opening the doors to it...LOL That didn't feel to good but after my sister patched me up I was good to go!
That's a lotta block! 10 pallets! Looks amazing I'm sure they're very happy with the end result. I'm kinda disappointed you don't hype that Brazilian tool anymore. When you first started putting up videos you said it's name every video and now your new followers are left wondering 😂
🤣 it's funny you say that, I was thinking of mentioning it in this video but decided not too...LOL I freakin love that thing! ✌
Do you need to glue down every layer there boss ? Also at what heights do you need to worry about a drain tube in the back ?
You don't necessarily need to glue every layer but it is a cheap insurance policy in my opinion. It also helps prevent blocks from wobbling when they have a slight variance in height from each other. And for drainage pipes, I wouldn't say it is about height. It is more about soil types and possibility for substantial water infiltration. This project had very well draining sub soil and it is not very probable to take on much water. The previous timber walls had zero drainage stone and held up for 20+ years no problem. So with all the drainage stone used and the fact that water can weep through all the joints, a drainage pipe is not necessary and in my opinion, they always look ugly... So when I don't think they are necessary, I don't use them ✌
Perfect explanation. Totally makes sense. Thank you and Ben also the nephews for these great videos. God Bless you all.
@@DB509Stang Our pleasure! God bless you too✌
Great work just found your channel loving it!!
Awesome! Thank you! ✌
Looking great dudes. That Semma looks great. How does TechoBloc compare to VersaLok when building walls such as installation? I know VersaLok has the pins and TechoBloc has those square block anchors that sit on top of their blocks. TechBlocs is really expensive per block versus VersaLok in my area. My local dealer says TechoBloc is the "Cadillac" of the concrete block world lol. But they look awesome. One more quick question. What was that tool that looks like a garden hoe that you use called again? I remember you said it was gifted to you by a friend and the tool is from South America somewhere???
Thanks brother, Semma is my favorite wall block out there for sure. VersaLok is know to have much more variance in heights from block to block, causing some issues when installing. Plus they are all solid blocks, causing more efflorescence issues down the road. Nothing against them, I just don't really like them and they are actually tough to find in my area. And your dealer is correct about Techo Bloc. They are a very big name in concrete products and they deserve it.
Also, that tool is called a (Enxada) which is a Brazilian tool. I could never find somewhere online you can buy it but I did find some on ebay.... here is a link to where I found it 👉www.ebay.com/itm/166193343937?itmmeta=01HVYXEKZX14FV7S6YXH6PWB2Q&hash=item26b1e52dc1:g:JFgAAOSw6JRkmLJz
@@TheChristianHardscaper Coming in clutch and with a link! Thanks brother. Would have never found it.
Hey brother, big fan of you work! Been learning so much from this channel. So I’ve been looking to start some hardscape project but there’s no supplier with chip stone in my area. What would you recommend using in this situation?
Thanks man, glad to hear it! If you can't find the 1/4" chip stone, try looking for 3/8" clean crushed stone. If you can't find that, you can use round (pea stone). It will take a bit longer to screed but will work for sure. Worst case scenario, lay fabric over the base stone and use a nice clean mason sand for the bedding.
Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate the help. Also I got one more question for you. Do you do some sort of warranty? If so how long for? And does it mainly just cover settling?
Lookin’ 🔥🔥🔥
I know what you mean about working weekends etc hate it myself but the show must go on…..like they say “make hay when the sons shining “
Thanks brother. I like that saying, it's very true. We got to work when we can during the regular season. ✌
Looking good guys. I like the design.
Thank you! ✌
If I had the cash I would have you come all the way to Indiana and do all the stuff I am wanting to do with my yard...but I don't so I am picking up your tips and tricks to do it myself, minus the heavy equipment.
I appreciate it and I wish I could do that for you! LOL I'm glad the videos are helping you do it on your own though, it will be more satisfying when your done knowing you did it ✌
Awesome job on those beautiful walls. God Bless from N.Y.
Thanks man, God Bless! ✌
Looks really good man 👌🏻
Thanks brother ✌
Can you do a paver diamond grid with turf in between the pavers?
You and the dude are doing an amazing job !
Thank you very much! ✌
Curve looks great. slope even better (that will hold that dirt very nicely). Did you install drainage on multiple levels or only the first level?
Thank you! There is no drainage pipe behind any of the wall. Most block walls I build don't require it in my opinion. With nice sandy sub soil and the and the amount of clean stone we use, the water will drain / weep out of the wall block joints no problem. I only put drainage pipes if there is a downspout to connect into or if there is potential for heavy water infiltration. I did not see the potential for that on this project as the timber walls that were there previously had zero drainage stone or pipe behind it and it held up great for 20+ years. Mainly because of the nice, well draining soil they have. I hope that makes sense ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper Completely agree. Did not see the original subsoil and the fact that timbers held up for so long w/o rot (wow).
@@JeffreyWallk Yea, I was impressed by how long they held up too... Here is a link to the 1st video of this project if you want to see what it was like before we started 👉ruclips.net/video/11A8x7Ph8kU/видео.html
Man, the timbers looked like new (even the deadman was in great shape)
@@JeffreyWallk Right..? Crazy...
A gift!! It’s one thing to build it, and it’s another thing all together different… to SEE it in your mind and THEN build it!! Outstanding work!!
Thank you very much man, It is all in my mind... Sometimes it is hard to explain it properly but I see the end result before I even start. And the process of bringing it from imagination to reality is so much fun for me. ✌
Amazing job on the walls, they look MINT.... It amazes me how much detail you put into your jobs with just the two of you working for the most part, and it comes out looking like a full crew had done the job. Look forward to seeing the completed project.
Thanks as always man, we work well together and quality is top of mind. It actually surprises me sometimes how much we can get done too.... Just continual hard work and progress can achieve many things. ✌
Your eye for design is spot on. Love watching these videos of a fellow new englander!
Thank you very much, I appreciate the support and it is great hearing from fellow new englanders ✌
They say one is none and two is one, as you and Ben are one. God bless you guys.
Amen brother, he is a blessing to me and my business. God bless you too ✌
Trump 2024 bro tell Benny too bro ....Save this country from reckless democrat policies that is killing this country .... 😊😊👍MAGA .
🤣 ✌
Is there ANY thing in this world that ppl feel they don’t need to add their politics to? It’s a retaining wall for crying out loud! 50% of customers are opposite which cuts out 50% of business or buying products when politics or opinions come into it. Your comment is completely unnecessary and uncalled for and frankly is what women do which proves to me you’re too much in touch with your feminine side, Karen. You do more damage than good to anyone involved which is why I go out of my way to avoid listening or watching ANY politics by watching these types of videos to escape. Leave this channel alone! Now grow up and take a course in manners bc obviously any adults in your life never taught you any.
I love the claw function of the excavator to pick stuff up - smart design!
Yes sir, extremely helpful and efficient 👌
