Stan!!! These kind of videos are what really help people understand the more intricate parts of these type of jobs. Keep ‘em coming!!
Awesome 😎 stoked to share!
You have absolutely no clue the blessing that you’re providing every day. Isn’t that the greatest blessing of them all! Dude you took me from lawn care work where I could not get over 80 yards per week to having the aspiration enough to change the scope of work that we do and it has changed my life. Mad respect!
These types of videos have a long shelf life and are worth big $$
Thank you!

I really appreciate videos like this! I would like to see a video on ground prep; finding where to start and setting up the grade. Thank you for what you do Stan!
The more knowledgeable you put out the better Stan! As a construction worker these videos are great to learn and adapt to the skills needed to build these types of walls.
This is exactly the content I need. Rock on.

Nice job thinking of all the questions and then answering them! Loving this! Gave me a LOT more to think about!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! Hope it helps out
Hey Stan. These 'how to' videos are a blessing to us contractors on how to construct using new materials. Always great to learn from the best. God bless and go get 'em. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Peter Dunne Landscapes
these videos are great. they've helped me grow my own business from simple soft scaping to getting into hardscaping!
Excellent how to do your job and homeowner DIY I personally haven't been building walls lately it's good to look at things like this video to keep me educated and relearn methods of building walls one thing I didn't notice in this video I may have overlooked it is the dead man course that is what we call it the first block gets buried it is your concrete footing so to say and how to stair step your wall at the base course I've done a lot of walls on hillside and you are supposed to start at your lowest point and work your way up one thing I forgot to mention all of these non-masonary walls origin from masonry walls you had to have a concrete solid base to stabilize support the wall I am not a masonry but I know this is fact these non-motor walls are for those who do not understand masonry but it still has a lot of the mathematic structure ingenuity involved I am a learning by the seat of my pants almost self-taught this is why these videos that you're producing are helpful I was building these walls and then the company air vault decide to put a educational class for its local contractors thank goodness I was doing at least 90% of it correct but that 10% could cost someone property injury or life again thanks for the videos
Great "How to" video. I'm researching to do a retaining wall in my back yard and this video was a GREAT help.
Knowledge is power. Doesn't matter who you are. Great video and as always Stan, thanks for educating folks.
Great tips and tricks!
Great tutorial. You guys made a good team and balance each other very well. Nice work.
Much appreciated Stan. Really enjoy these type of videos. Keep em' comin!
Will do! Thank you
Would love a video going over what codes need to be followed in MN when doing landscape contracting.
Great info ! Keep 'em coming.
Glad you enjoyed 👊
Wow! Great video
Educational videos done properly like this are PRICELESS!!! Thank you
Sharing is caring 😁 Glad you like em

So very informative.
Thank you all!!!
Awesome presentation!✌️🪨
Seriously dude thank you so much for these videos it’s such a huge resource!
You are a great educator. No time wasted when watching your videos. Awesome.
I appreciate that! I try to get to the point as fast as possible.
Stan, you are truly a remarkable guy! Thank you for taking time to share this process in such detail.
You are very welcome! Thanks for being here
Great video! Thank you
Hi Stanley....."Great educational Videos for DYI home owners like myself.....I wish we had more guys like you & your team.
You are a great man.
Tremendous amount of information... well done and greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Happy to help and share! Thanks for the support 👊
I am novice and have only helped with a couple paver jobs and retaining walls! These videos are awsome and appreciate you taking the time to teach things right!!
Thanks for the lesson Stan & Jim. and Thanks to Jim and Joe for throwing block around all day to get us this info
Big thanks to the guys at patio town and versa-lok for helping put this together.
Awesome videos!!! Keep them coming.
More coming 😁
Great video. Awesome job guys.
Thank you! & for tagging along
Love the training video Stan
Thanks. Glad you enjoy it
42 Min of education? Heck yes!! I love learning this kind of stuff! I am having a great week, and hope you are as well! I wish more people would take the time to do this kind of thing!
Nice! glad your having a good week. I was worried that 42 min of hardcore training might not go over well but I was also hoping that it might help some people out. Appreciate hearing the feedback.
Gotta love the efflorescence on the stair tread units… glad to see it’s not just my luck, stinks having brand new pallets show up looking like a toddler was slam dunking cookies into a 5 gallon bucket of milk on top of them.
Great video. Thanks.
You're awesome!! Thank you so much for this video
These videos are amazing!
Seriously thank you so much 🙏
Excellent video....
Fantastic video Stan! All your videos are top notch! YES to a paver retaining wall video! I get this request a lot here in Texas. Apparently, with a paver retaining wall you do not need an enginer for that.
Great video Stan. Great content, good format. It wasn't too long at all.
Glad ya liked it! thanks buddy
this was a great training video i getting ready to do my first major retaining wall and after looking at the specs for the block they are the perfect fit for my needs now to see how they do in pricing
Amazing video, one of the best channesl from CZcams
Hey bud, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on CZcams. Just want to say thanks for all the time and effort you put into these training videos! Thanks 🙏
Thanks for caring!! Glad you're back
These Videos are a Great Way to Show Non-Builders on How Much Work goes into their Walls and the Cost 💲 Not Only the Materials but the Workmanship. To do it Right the 1st Time and Not 5-10 years later.
good point. 👍
We love watching this channel, I don't do any of this type of work, I'm a CAD designer, but I just love your channel and your work builds!
Wow, thank you!
Great video Stan very informative starting to realize how much more I like versa block compared to Alan Block or some other systems that we use in our area
After using versa-lok I stopped using the others for the reasons you see in this video.
Yes please I have a project coming up and this is exactly what I needed
Awesome!
Great video. Keep them coming great channel. Thank you for your efforts
super great stuff
Great content
I've built a handful of walls with the typical "open cell" blocks and I have to say, the speed that these guys are installing the versa-loc system is mind blowing... AND NO EXTRA ROCK. My step-son just built a wall with these and he loved them except for making corners, since we're both used to getting pre-made pieces. I will be replacing my timber walls this year and have been contemplating this system but have been worried about corners. This is the exact video I needed to help make my decision.
Mr. Stan, I find all ur videos very educational and informative i learn a lot continue to do it
Yes, more training videos!!! Installing walls on uneven grades and setting up lines to get the right height using levels, string lines and lasers
Hey Stan, i hope you and your family is safe as most of Minnesota is experiencing bad weather, i myself am currently in a tornado warning without power. Stay safe
I’m trying to build a business for being a contract excavator for a variety of businesses. I’m educating myself on these jobs to help me understand landscaping needs. Thanks for all of these videos
Thank you, I’m building 8 ft retaining wall with the stairs and curve wall this video was very helpful .
Glad it was helpful! Go get em
This is a great idea. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Awesome video!!!
Thanks for the visit 👍
Information videos are sweet! But I also love your jobsite videos the most cause you learn so much by you and your crews and all the new and cool tools for hardscaping that us regular guys can't get!
Noted 👌 Glad you're here! Thank you
Thanks for all your help and experience and teaching us really helps
Of course man! Glad they're helpful
Great informative video!!!
Thanks! Hope it helps 👍
As a business owner I really appreciate your help with training videos this is awesome brother 👏 🙌
Happy to help. Go get em 👊
Instant Subscribe! Great video and thank you for this. I have a project coming up this summer and this video taught me everything i needed to know.
Thank you for being so open to teaching everyone. As always you have outdone yourself in breaking it down. I still suggest hands on training before you dive in head first, but I just learned a few new ideas on retaining walls.
Appreciate that a ton! & hands on training is definitely a good call too
Stan, a video idea. So many times from a landscaping aesthetic I wonder why someone placed the house like they did on a lot, ending up with an awkward yard. How about going to some empty lots for sale, and talking about how you see the land vs. an architect that might only care about setbacks. And where you would place the house and why.
so fire 🔥 definitely deserve a million views
Wow, this vid got my sub, somtimes hard to find explanatory masonry videos. This is great would love to see all kinds of detailed builds, specially a house build (assuming people still build homes out of brick in the US).
I started as a snow fighter for a, let’s say production based company and moved to enhancements, LOTS of installs and rock bed stuff. Took a small break from landscaping; ie: I had enough of the far drive (and I was young and shithead) started this spring back to landscaping after a year of lumberyard work and I use your videos to stay fresh’d up. From Ohio. Again big thanks 🙏
Very cool- Thanks for tuning in 👊
I never learned any of this but am learning from watching you tube videos. Your idea would be incredible
Glad to hear it helps. Thank you
Awesome video Stan!! That was VERY informative and helpful. And yes, a paver video would be great.
Cool beans 👍
Thank you for this. Big thanks
No worries thanks for caring
great job teaching.
Thank you!
Love these videos. Would love to see a train video on pavers.
Stan. Three years ago I started off on my own doing landscaping and I didn’t even know how to build a retaining wall. I didn’t even know Versalok block existed. But I’m watching your videos alone and finding a supplier that has that block retaining walls are my bread and butter in my business now
Dude- that is huge! good for you bud👍👊
Yess they are great an coming from somone who is in the feild 100% is way more helpful then a deskjock an you know all the little tips an tricks thanks so much for your knowledge
Couldn't agree more 👊 thanks for the support too!
Thank you do much very interesting!!!!
Nothing like passing on what you know!!

You got it 🙌
