    Looking good. I’m a concrete guy/ landscaper so I have to say much respect for you paver guys as well. It’s all very hard work. Anytime you have to work so close to the ground on hands and knees its tough. Especially for myself being a bigger fella.
    Love to watch you’re videos. Maybe will do a paver job one day. Have done some smaller stuff but not like this.

    You made an excellent point about the bobcat. I would have considered one and completely overlooked that. It’s vital for me cause just like you it’s just myself and my brother doing the work and there are times I have to get out to help him lift something in our out of bucket.

      It was in the time lapse but I did put 5 pieces of rebar while we were pouring. Definitely gives it more strength ✌

    Whenever I get a concrete job I just call my retired dad's concrete guy for the pouring and finishing. He just bosses me around and I run for stuff when I'm done driving the buggy. Lol. Old guy knows how to handle concrete like nobody's business.

    Will pavers not stand up to a hot tub sitting on them. I am about to start a paver deck myself and never thought about if it would hold up to a hot tub maybe in the future?? Love your work and have learned a lot from you two, will be putting it to use in the next couple weeks. Shout out to Benny as well!

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Před 10 měsíci +3

      Pavers could hold a hot tub but they are more likely to shift or sink than a concrete pad. So I always recommend the pad to my customers. It is just a safer bet than laying it on the pavers directly.

    Great workmanship. I am a landscaper but have not laid pavers without mortar before.
    Would thinner pavers be suitable to lay on this base format? The pavers I have in mind are just over 3/4 inch (20mm) porcelain, your thoughts would be hugely appreciated.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thank you. And yes, you can use this method for thinner porcelain as well but I would lay them in mortar on top of the chip stone becasue 3/4" is very thin and they may move around if you don't. The pavers I use regularly are 2-3/8" thick

    Hey Kyle, excellent work, brother.
    What's your reasoning for putting the hot tub on a concrete pad rather than the pavers? Hope things are going well.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Před 10 měsíci

      Hey John, all is well and I hope the same for you!
      I like pouring pads for hot tubs to make sure nothing will sink or shift from water wash out or the weight of the tub. You could lay it on paver’s honestly but pouring a pad just helps me sleep at night… 😂✌🏻
