Thank you for stopping by! I hope this helps your DIY project and wish you all the success! Share your story! 🎉
Thanks for taking the time to make this! Solid advice and great skills. Watching you hump those buckets full of sand and gravel to the backyard made me want to buy you a wheelbarrow!
Thank you! And yes I’m due for a wheelbarrow :) I was not efficient with the buckets.
Beautiful. Nice work -- great narration and detail.
Thank you very much! I wish you the best for you and your landscape!
Nice Job Brandon. Great video and great work on that patio!!
Awesome thank you!
Awesome job, Brandon! I’m working on mine now and like the gravel idea. Thanks!
Thank you! Oh that's exciting! How far along are you? This took me a while to complete. A few weekends at least hah. Best of luck!
Very well done (informative to the Nth degree.)
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! I hope your project turns out amazing!
@@BrandonTran You’re welcome
i am the first one to thumbs up this video!!!!! Thank you for the video.. I am from Texas.. doing some landscaping.. i subscribed to your channel a long while back .. the day i need the guidance , your video popped up .. thanks again .. stay blessed
Oh the timing is amazing hah! We lived in Georgetown TX for 5 years. We loved it there. Moved for work. I got yard of the year in my TX neighborhood, good times!
What do you plan to joint fill with? I’d go with mortar after testing it out on another pad. Looks a little better! Good luck!
start with a tarp on the concrete so little or no damage
Are you talking about my porch? That is a good call. I am going to be enclosing the porch and it will have a wood floor soon. But for anyone who cares about your porch, this is a great suggestion!
@BrandonTran - No, he is talking about the public road 🤦♀️, where the truck grossly dumped all that stone.
Nice video. educational, no crazy music. Really appreciated the channel.
Wow such nice words :) thank you so much for stopping by and watching!
Love the video! What area of the country are you located? I'm in Michigan and landscape supply places are recommending 6" of gravel rather than 3" due to frost.
Hi Pammie, Thank you! I’m in Asheville NC. The more gravel you throw down the better. 6” of gravel you may be able to drive on it :) it will help not worry about it. We do get a freeze every year but it’s done in 1-2 days typically.
@@BrandonTranThank you!
Deck
You certainly could install a deck.
Holy cow my neighbors and city would be pissed if I had a truck just come out and dump stone on our public roads like you just did.
This is what not to do people. Be considerate of your tax dollars, after all you paid for those roads. Protect them and keep them nice and clean.
Totally! Don’t do what they did. This is a base layer road. So the final road layer has not been installed yet. Coming soon. But you make a great point, most would have a final road so a fork lift would be optimal.
