[@dougdinsmore9751]

Great job, I am impressed! Looks really nice. 👍 Good father-son team, you should be proud.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks!

[@michaeljheinz3336]

Fantastic job guys. Great seeing you out getting it done.

[@JustMeB729]

Gosh that man looks as though he could be your older brother instead of dad. But anyway. The quality of work, even though it is your parents house, never wavers. You give the same care with customers. There's no distinction. If anything, you are even better with your customers. Wonderful job 👏🏼.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Haha thanks! I'll be sure to let my dad know he is lookin young!

[@JustMeB729]

@@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC He does. I'm not just saying that. And I really like the music that you use on your videos.

[@greatitbroke]

You put on a show of mastery performance with that articulating bucket on that machine. You sure know how to make it dance.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Thanks!

Retaking wall and steps look great.

Looks great

Beautiful on the Pond

[@Kevin-is-here]

Very nice, looked like a ton of work even with the equipment 😅

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

It definitely was!

[@nancyannirvin4507]

As an old lady, I can see how that would make me safer to get to the water. And it looks great?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yep! That grass gets really slippery and everyone that has been to my parents, no matter the age, has slipped on it at least once.

[@DonaldStaggs]

Good job. I don't understand the sloped concrete.

[@adreadinhell]

do you have a video or could you make a video explaining your maths on finding proper excavation depth for building these steps built into walls? hope that made sense what im trying to ask

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yeah, I have considered making a video on that. I will try and do that in the future!

[@lukelovell1055]

Very nice. You left off your block clamp/grab from your equipment list. Pave Tool 980? I want one but for a couple of pieces of steel tubing the price is outrageous for my occasional use haha.

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

I used the pavetool 450 for the wall blocks and 980 for slabs/steps

[@J-M-F-8]

I can see how this is a lot like running lab in PoE :D

[@Pterrordactyle]

Please elaborate :)

[@howardsmith5474]

I may have missed it in the commentary but is that like 56 stone for the base and some kind of 3/8 mix under the pavers?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yeah, its a 3/4" clean crushed stone for the base and 3/8" clean crushed stone for the screeded bed

[@chrs1212]

Does that geotextile allow for water to infiltrate?

[@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC]

Yeah, it allows for water to pass through it

[@lukelovell1055]

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like woven in some parts which doesn’t flow water nearly as well as non woven.

[@R_R_R_R_R_]

what is the name of that electronic grading system your dad is using?

[@siriosstar4789]

un compacted stone ?? yikes
