    Hey Johnny hope your well
    Patio looks great 👍
    I’ve said it before but porcelain is such a game changer in my opinion it’s just bringing the indoors outside and making that clean sweep from kitchen or conservatory to gardens bringing the outside indoors making the garden another useable room love it mate and these vids are so important to our industry to show just how much work and knowledge is needed to push our trade in the right direction
    Plus u find the time to help and pass on your knowledge to a up and coming new guy absolutely top bloke 👍

    Johnny boy, just about to lay porcelain pavers and the instructions on the slurry primer tell me I have to use it within about an hour. They’ll be lucky! I reckon it’ll take me an hour just to do the first couple of slabs!!

    Hi Jonny boy I am not a landscaper but I have watched almost all your videos and you are very good at what you do and a very knowledgeable person. I have 1 question please if you could help. Can you use easygrout on porcelain with sandpaper texture surface please or it will ruin the porcelain?
    Thank you so much for all the videos you made to help people out.

    • @GreentopLandscapes
      @GreentopLandscapes  3 года назад +1

      Hi, many thanks for the comments very kind of you. The answer is yes but just do a small bit at a time and clean thoroughly, but make sure your joints are dry to and make sure your sponge is squeezed out well when cleaning added water can be problematic.

    • @GreentopLandscapes
      @GreentopLandscapes  2 года назад +1

      thanks, it is just that the more water you put in any mortar the weaker it becomes, and then there is the mineral deposit from the water that can affect your grouting.

      @TheTraditionalGolfer 3 года назад

      @@richardspooner2751 he will either use a timber trammel or a simple string line either method is fixed at a set point...so a timber trammel is basically like a hand on a clock face just move around and mark your cuts with a pencil off the end of the trammel i usually drill a hole that just nips a pencil ✏. String line works exactly the same. If both them curves are half round then he will have a point against the house exactly middle of curve and 2 points on garden that intercept the middle curve to send it the other way. Just picture 3 full circles from above one against house and 2 circles one either side bisecting the first circle then your using a segment of them hope that helps 👍.
