That is awesome to hear! I love making custom inlays like this. I typically just eyeball the angles while using my square to mark the cuts. But I will try to include more of the though process in the future ✌

🤣🤣👍 That's awesome man! I have got that a couple times 🤣. I am glad you like the videos and helping people across the country with projects like this was my goal, so that's great people are getting the information they are looking for ✌

Thank you very much for the feedback and I'm glad the videos helped with your project. God bless! ✌

Yea buddy! 🤣 thanks brother ✌🏻

I'm glad the videos have been helpful! This work is all about taking your time and doing every step to best of your abilities. I'm sure your result will be great. Good luck with your project and thanks for the feedback! ✌

I really do, thanks for the support ✌

Thanks brother, I appreciate it ✌

Thanks! ✌

No problem, glad you enjoyed it! ✌🏻

Thank you ✌🏻

we are alright... lol 🤣✌

Thank you, glad it is helpful ✌🏻

Thank you! ✌

Nice, I love cutting radius's !

Thanks ✌

Thank you

Thanks! ✌

Thanks!

Thanks man. I’m having fun with putting them together ✌🏻

Thanks again for the support brother, plenty more to come! ✌

Glad to hear it! Good luck with your project, confidence and good planning is key ✌🏻

Thanks man! ✌

Thanks, they certainly do! And you are correct, not too sure I would want to be there... LOL I love New England! ✌

Thanks man, plenty more to come! ✌🏻

Thanks man! This was a very cool project ✌🏻

I’m going to start my first customer paying job. Excited and scared. Thank you for teaching me some tips and tricks.

Sweet, good luck man!

Thank you, I agree that you don’t see much quality out there. It’s inspired me to make this channel really. Not the best teacher but I try to get my point across. I definitely love this work! ✌🏻

Thank you very much for the support and all the feedback, it is much appreciated and motivating. ✌

Thank you man! ✌

Depending on where you are, you may have to dig those 18" deep. I know around here in Massachusetts, those need to be buried at 18". So that would be deeper than the base stone. At which point you 90 degree it up at the point you want it to come up in the patio

Thanks man, how’s your project going?

Not bad! Just cuts and poly left. Thanks for asking!

Nice, hopefully the weather has cooled down where you are... ✌

Im in Pittsburgh. It has been in the 70s this weekend. Back to 90 in a day or two.

Thank you very much for the feedback! It is my pleasure to share the work with you all. And you are completely right, I am guilty of not protecting myself from that dust as much as I should. I have heard some scary things about it, So I appreciate you looking out for us and I will get some N95's next time I am out. God Bless brother ✌

I have used them a couple times, they are incredible for their size without a doubt. But I love the power of the TS-420. It is a bit heavy after awhile but it cuts through things far quicker.... I plan on buying one of those saws someday though. It is a great secondary saw and excellent for training people on. 👌✌

Thank you very much for the support, I am having a good time putting these videos together! The hardscape experience just comes from putting my hands to it and pursuing it more through the past few years. ✌

Thank you for the support! ✌

🤣 That's hilarious, Thanks man! ✌

Glad to hear it! Sharing how we do it is my pleasure. I’m not a big fan of the panels… you end up seeing the irregularities in the paver heights because you can’t hammer down the higher ones. Pavers can vary in height up to an 1/8”-1/4” in really bad scenarios… when setting on a bedding material you can hammer those tall ones lower, with panels you are stuck with them sticking up higher. Plus I don’t think moisture escapes through them as good as a bedding stone. 🤷🏼‍♂️

🤣🤣✌🏻

Thank you! When ordering pavers like this, the sizes come all mixed together on a pallet. They are sold per layer usually (9-12 sq ft per layer / 90 - 120 sq ft per pallet. Just find a paver style you like and get the square footage you need for the patio. The border pavers get measured by linear ft (the outside measurement around the entire patio). Then depending on how you lay the border pavers in and what size they are, you just do some math on how many individual pavers you need. Most landscape / hardscape supply yards can help with that as long as you have the linear ft measurement. ✌

We are in southern Massachusetts, near the Connecticut line. Thanks for the support man! ✌

🤣✌

Thanks again for your support, I remember saying that you had a project going on. I honestly have never used a bucket with teeth but always wanted to try it. Most rentals I get just come with the flat bucket and the companies I worked for never had one either… not sure how much of a difference they make. I assume they are very helpful when there’s a lot of rocks…✌🏻

@@TheChristianHardscaperThanks for taking the time to answer these questions. My patio is about done and there’s no way I’d figure this out without your videos. I’ll post a picture later. God Bless bro!

No problem at all, looking forward to the pictures! ✌

Thank you, and you certainly could. It would be more difficult for sure, but definitely possible… ✌🏻

Thank you, I have a Facebook but I don't keep it updated very good at all.... KZfaq takes most of my social media time right now. Hopefully I will have someone to help me spread out to more platforms in the future though. ✌

Thank you, many years of practice.... I lean to the side a bit and watch the edge of the blade. Seems to be the best way in my opinion.

@@TheChristianHardscaper My Husky does not have the sight hole, so that is all that i do. You are way better than i am however.

I do not unfortunately.... hopefully some day! ✌

Thank you, the noise will probably catch up to me someday for sure…. ✌🏻

Thank you, and that’s not a dumb question at all. But it is a little more tricky to do than a just a regular patio on the ground. You will need to have multiple pitches with the middle being the highest point and then have it pitch towards the walls on every side there is a wall. A bit more prep time when setting the screed pipes, but as long as you take your time and think through it, it’s definitely possible ✌🏻

I would, honestly, I try to put chip stone drainage points around any feature within a patio. Does nothing but help in my opinion. As far as spacing, 3/4 - 1 inch is fine. ✌🏻

Thanks, cutting in place with this tight of a radius is next to impossible with a 14" saw. And I don't like saws that are any smaller, not enough power.... I don't build them on the pavers simply because I think it is extremely cheesy looking.... not a professional look.

@@TheChristianHardscaper Good to here your opinion. thnx for responding

I leave the gap so I can fill the joints with a permeable crushed stone. It helps with surface water drainage and prevents any possible puddling around the pit in the future. I did not want to or have to cut every piece, especially so that they were tight. I want the 3/4" - 1" gap but if I didn't cut them at all, the gaps would have been to wide... So I opted for cutting every other just to keep the joints around that 3/4" - 1" mark.

@@TheChristianHardscaper Got it, thanks!

There is a lot of people who do that actually, but it is certainly not a practice the professionals should get into. This is the proper way to do it, aesthetically speaking.... The fire pit should look like it is coming out of the ground and the pavers should wrap around it to hold the pit in its place. When you hire a professional company and they just slap a firepit down on top of the pavers, I would be very concerned how long the job will last for because if you are willing to do that for saving time sake, I can only imagine what other corners they are cutting during the install.... ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper thank you for the answer. I'm looking to do about a thousand square foot patio soon and want to do it right.

🤣🤣✌🏻

It came out to a little over $20.00 per sq ft when said and done.. (includes excavation, backfilling and laying pavers)

Thanks for the feedback, I never build my fire pits on top of pavers. It looks very unprofessional to me. I also love seeing a border around the fire pit. Quality is in the details. It is all about doing things people don’t usually do that sets you apart in this industry. Custom work is worth the extra time, customers love seeing cuts like that. It lets them know they got a quality product. Fire pit blocks sitting on the pavers just looks kind of cheesy in my opinion ✌🏻

Your right dude, you do nice work

😎✌

I don’t seal the pavers I lay, I am not against it but it is a annual / every other year kind of thing you have to consistently do. It is nice in some situations but I have not been completely sold on the benefits of sealing your pavers just yet…

Most pavers come in pallets around 100 sq ft. The average paver cost is between $3.50 per sq ft - $7.50 per sq ft.

Hello, I have a couple videos of me building a curved block sitting wall where I go over my cutting methods. Here is a link to the wall build video 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7mqn6eemt-XcYU.html Here is a link to the cap install video 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as-SmrWrppfOcok.html

@@TheChristianHardscaper Thanks! My doubt was mainly on the cutting skill part. I am going to rent a SmartCut 350 for this work.

@@TheChristianHardscaper I've done the cutting today. The table saw was magically. I think my cutting is near your quality even just the straight line part 😆 A quick question, have you ever been in the situation that the layer under cap is not 100% flat? I had tried my best but there is still 1 spot a little uneven. One corner of a brick is a tiny bit lower, like depth of a sand. Should I put in something (a thin layer of sands?) as a filler, or the glue is enough to flat it out?

@@ttzz7868 Nice! 🤣 That does happen every now and then.... Most of the time, a thick bead of glue will even it out just fine. Like setting bricks in mortar to level them, you can use the same concept with the glue. If one cap is high, put less glue on that one and a little more glue on the ones next to it to try and even them out the best you can. When it is really bad, we grind down the high spot with our saw or angle grinder to take it down to even. ✌

🤣🤣✌

Thank you, I have been thinking of some mats lately and probably will make that happen. But the strap on pads rip up the backs of my legs to much…. ✌🏻

It would be sweet if we were! LOL ✌

Yea buddy! Thanks ✌🏻

I will definitely look into all of those man, I appreciate the recommendations. That’s what community is all about! I really like the idea of a pencil holder on the tape measure 💯✌🏻
