Thanks for your explanation in details by using a real case to illustrate each step to us. I prefer to pave by myself in simple way in the backyard instead which is cost saving. Anyway, your professional advice I gain so much and appreciate your presentation.
The contractor is doing the right thing by lowering the grass area, because the stone facade on the house is supposed to be 6 inches above ground. The brick wall on the other side of the house is touching the ground which would never pass inspection in Canada.
Unfortunately in this current climate, everything in the construction trade is expensive, but certain areas in this project does seem expensive. Personally, I would have given the shed a bit more clearance at the rear for future maintenance.
I see more problems with the house itself than the landscaping work. I can elaborate more in the future when I have time, but for now I just want to point out that at 17:00 the sand is obviously not the right type. For pavers you should use polymeric sand 胶砂。
My suggestion for home owners that are doing patio stones all across their house front yard should put a pipe or conduit under it from one end to another. You will find it very useful later for pulling cables across because you don't need to dig out the stones.
迦嵐，亞偉，我畧懂斜坡設計。原先可能為當地擋土牆設計的一種。若是我，我不會移走。其原理是Cantilever piling or sheeting. 類似插支鉛筆入泥土，當外露鉛筆部份受到上坡推土壓力，全靠埋藏的部份產生Action and Reaction, 與及防止過份位移。現只做兩條横担，產生不了什麼擋土牆作用。
Home owners need to do their homework before calling a contractor for a quote. I would remove a little area of rocks from the garden to check the soil condition because sometime builder will dump all building waste in the backyard and cover them with rocks so top soil will be asked to be included in the quote for growing grass. The retaining wall beam are screwed in straight , that means there is sometime in place to support the wall from the back side. Also pressure treated wood should be used. The contractor used the original base without levelling them first because the job didn't include relevel the base. The second part regarding the drainage, the slope of the patio stones should be away from the house instead of towards the house.
No matter where or which country you are when you need to some kinds of repair or home improvement always get a few different quotes. Western countries also have lots of cowboys around. In UK for my experiences the best is ask people around for recommendations. I started living at UK since 1984 and saw far too many cases like this. Or otherwise the best is asking you home insurance company to recommend anyone do the job for you. For those many a bit expensive but at least if any problem you can chase them.
Hi Thanks for the great videos ….. May I ask a question regarding paving works in front garden? Similar to the video, I will also be doing something similar to the front garden but I builder said that since there will be cars parked at front garden, the sub base should be made up of reinforced concrete which is very costly. I see lots of front gardens with bricks finishing are just granular sub-based. Please can you advise if the reinforce concrete really necessary and how should I respond to the builder ? Thanks 🙏
@@atklam5715 I believe it isn't a good idea remotely not unless you employ a local qualified surveyor monitor the work. No best friend nor family member not unless they are qualified builder. There's no need for reniforced concrete, it sounds your builder may not know what they are doing or it is a easy way out since you are paying for it. Good luck
For the stone slabs where the gap is thicker, it's mortar, for small Harris between brick paving, it's sand. Shouldn't get too much weed with the sand. Also can use weed removal on paving, it's very effective
The cost £6,500 for re-surface/tarmac and drainage the front garden is quite reasonable price, isn't it? I live in the Midlands and had a quote for just to put the picket fence around my front garden is £3,000, do you think £3,000 is reasonable or is it too much for fencing? Thanks.
今集題材有用，有建設性，又吸引我再回到你的頻道👍🙂
我有朋友有類似經歷，第一個仲要係香港人，先報5000+，再搵多個人黎睇要加2000。再搵另一個手工差，日日話要現金買料。跟住話冇收過錢，最後爛尾，好彩後園有CCTV到。大家俾錢記得一定要銀行過數。
好鐘意俩個小妹妹陽光笑臉！🥰祝你們一家人幸福，心想事成！
二個小朋友，越來越可愛，多謝分享

小朋友好可愛！👍
人生路不熟，用錢解決到嘅問題已經唔算問題，最怕收咗錢又拖工程。
係香港裝修收咗上期後，理所當然拖你一頭半個月再開始，然後，好似漁民咁，3天打漁，4天曬網。
選擇凹凸防滑地台磚有學問，因石材部分有高低邊位的誤差，工人操作要選擇石材砌時要注意，是工人做時不夠細心。而石面之泥色要行一段時間才消失，但凹凸位仍有泥色就要用水洗才可漸漸消失。這是本人的意見（地磚是自己處理後的經驗）
以前英國生活，很小人把前後花園草地變做磚地。其實剪草是一種享受。 另外和英國人交流裁種心德一樂也。
原來好多香港人,唔識亦唔喜歡打理花園草地。我有個英國客,花園屋仔是自己砌,似宜家傢私有張圖。
This is a very good sharing! Thanks!
幸運有你哋可以提供意見 所以出外靠朋友真係冇錯
今集小妹妹好叻，非常可愛。
Long time haven’t viewed your videos hope you are well and enjoy your time with family members Good luck and healthy Luke
Thank you Luke. It's very kind of you to send this lovely message. We are doing well. Thank you

You're so welcome and glad it's helpful. DIY is fun too!

移民英國真幸福，睇你哋就知啦！報喜不報憂😱 你哋真好，咁樣講以經安慰咗好多黃人新家庭，佢哋依家對英國充滿信心 💪💪😂😭😂😭
睇咗廣告支持你
無端端有波打咁開心既

Good to share.
請問花園D fence可以加有棘的網防止人從後花園爬入來嗎？ Thanks !
Thanks all. 😊
Good Show!
多謝分享
亞偉絕對有資格, 可以有自己的裝修團隊, 好期待呀😘 一定會好好生意, 因為你們好有良心, 真係會為客戶着想🥰
You are too kind. Thank you
Were you wearing rain boots in the video? it looks very nice. What brand and where you buy it?

Thanks for sharing 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻
屋主應向DIY店問吓需要什麽材料和怎樣做，如能提供面積店員會给你一張材料清單和价錢，這服務是免费。更會提供送貨服務（收费）。

偉: 花園的地台石本身應該要有waterproofing coating去避免有水索入，佢現在呢d好明顯係下價貨
Waterproofing isn't the most common in the UK because it can be slip hazard too. Especially in the winter. I think it's the mortar was too low.

咪話比人呃左囉
請問屋外的角位如果是最低位，有積水會否對屋有影響呢？
PP見你地講咁多工程野，大左好可能去讀建築或者土木工程喎。😎
無論妳点講都好，我都係鍾意英國嘅自由空氣同埋天氣，當地好多好人，又紳士，又有禮貌 🤭 就算比人呃都係開心嘅 😂😂🤣🤣😂
掘底點下雨不會倒灌。最好加條暗渠。
請問好似咁樣整門口個泊車位, 大概要幾多錢?
very useful lesson learn
有少少水魚.真係要去睇吓格價👍
Hihi, can we PM you about a small project of building an extension above our garage? M tks
啲磚"炒"咗,會出現四邊角起中間凹、或者係相反,呢啲磚係無價值,但係揾磚要親自同啲裝開石嘅師父去揾
好複雜
18:09 這個 paver 台階，是甚麼來的？渠位？地庫窗井？其他？
有無貨比幾家? 報價要掘開至加價, 屋主無Budget就會爛尾? 應向當地council反映及上網留feedback
叫builder 計下lateral earth pressure 條數睇下先同我講換。
鋪磚要做打底的 判頭慳咗做sub base 嘅工夫“$”
In uk. There r some cowboys.i met some of them before... best asking friends or neighbor.
Hi 迦嵐 & 阿偉，謝謝分享！ 揾 builder 做嘢，真係要搵多幾個格吓價，並清楚了解對方將會點樣做，先好扑錘比錢！ 要比 £12,000 真係 好 “唔” 物有所值，特別係個地面，手工做得太差！ 屋企有 老人家及小朋友，真係好容易剔跌！
阿偉，想問問 當 builder 施工期間，我可唔可以出去望望，見到有唔妥，就同佢哋即時反映，可以嗎？ 否則，等佢哋乜都做晒，先至發現，先講，仲有冇得補救呢？
£5500連工包料 👍2人做 7-10曰 完工 視乎天氣而定！呢啲磚要Seal up, 你行路嘅時候可以聽到磚塊下低空心添啊！😹😹😹

挖走20cm 泥，回填10cm 泥，省材料。
可不可以開一集介紹點揀 shed

想問吓如果係英國教興趣班，係咪要攞良民證🙏
冇睇一個月，兩個女真係快高長大，僑僑家姐標高好多。
收左兩鑊hidden cost😅
苦主用仿真草好過喇
Unfortunately, yes. Sometimes it's good to change the scope when unexpected restrains is encountered.
亞偉，明年我來同你打乒乓球
My conservatory only cost £14,000 what a cowboy 🤠 !
欧洲人工比材料贵很多呀，所以我2个木房都是我自己做
個 retaining wall 裏面應該有幾條posts 種左入泥多數在橫木的駁口位內如果冇種落幾次大雨個retaining wall 就一定玩完。如果泥下有clay水份流走吾到幾多泥都冇用所以鏟走大量 clay layer 再鋪上細石或砂然後先舖泥係絕對需要的。至於價錢屋主都有責任問清楚先例如retaining wall 同soil replacement detail 如果吾合理可以吾做照報價上的資料去做相信builder會照做。駛咁多錢冇理由報價一張簡單圖紙，樣板，相片都冇
十幾千鎊, 搵間大公司做, 就冇咁谷氣
Timber retaining wall 唔一定要有post，但一定要有gravel 同埋rebar ，但由於兩種材料係見唔到，所以要contractor 同埋屋主先知。
thx for sharing

You don't need reinforced concrete, sounds very strange! Beware
Thank you - Canaan…. Btw I am currently based in Hk and remotely managing the works. Your videos are extremely useful to us. Thank you again🙏！

订几根铁柱深入地底层防止木板倒下伤人。
英国这种住宅真的蛮多的。
早晨阿偉，CK 👋 想問點解磚隙要用沙而不是沙混合英泥？只用沙日後雜草會生長。倆位小公主很可愛，QQ 👍 片尾背詞了得 ，贊贊贊👍👍

謝謝你的 info.
迦嵐的專業知識都愈來愈豐富👍🏻
No weeds if using polymeric sand. Motar will crack due to temperature changes.
👍💪
個花園幾核突吓
啲木 小心 有 白蟻
如果有華人裝修公司就好
溝通、質素可否好好多！
十幾萬港幣無用~好肉酸
自己整仲好(完全不專業)
這些排屋不太好雖然平宜
英國的small job都好流下
自己買水泥铺地，是否更平？
我都想要起两層，點揾builder好😔？
Ask your neighbours for recommendations, that's normally a good start
The cost £6,500 for re-surface/tarmac and drainage the front garden is quite reasonable price, isn't it? I live in the Midlands and had a quote for just to put the picket fence around my front garden is £3,000, do you think £3,000 is reasonable or is it too much for fencing? Thanks.
Hard to say without looking at the site. There are so many factors to consider
@@DancercThanks for your reply. The quote I had was for erecting 15 of 3-foot high picket fence panels and a gate.
我想問下有冇啲 可靠嘅builder可以介紹俾網友🙏🙇
It very much depends on your area, they don't normally travel too far.
來到你家睇一睇都要成五六十鎊，人工貴
fence 果幾條木真係好醜樣, 仲要咁貴
Hi 迦嵐 & 阿偉，你哋好，謝謝分享！ 揾 builder 做嘢，真係要搵多幾個格吓價，要了解並溝通清楚 對方將會點樣做，先好扑錘比佢哋做！ 講真，要比 £12,000 真係 好 “唔” 物有所值囉，特別係 地面 及 fences，手工做得太差喇，屋企有 老人家及小朋友，真係好容易剔跌！ 希望屋主唔好太唔開心！

Having periodic checks are important, just don't constantly watch over their shoulders as they really really dislike it!
@@Dancerc 👌 明白 😄🙏
我個人的經驗，好builder一個最起碼的正規作法是：白紙黑字列出每個工項的內容和價格，這是quotation打價/合同/溝通的程序。
手工差
其實個builder可能唔係特登呃香港人，我有幾個同事，土生土長白人都遇到呢啲問題，我哋總結係builder要賺番covid封城期間嘅損失，所以係咁加價，其中一個同事整花園，報價5K，埋單12k，另一個做extension, 價錢已經double咗，做咗年幾都未完工，另一個都係整花園，搵人報咗成年價都搵唔到人做
