DIY Backyard Concrete Patio with Underground Utilities

[@rickmatthews322]

What great timing you guys have! You always manage to get the job finished just before the end of the video! 😀

[@user-kf8qc7cx4n]

It would be nice to see the homeowners finished project.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I would like to see it also

He decided he wanted an underground pool instead. lol jk.

After watching these vids for awhile I found myself today watching a crew doing a sidewalk near my work on lunch break.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I do that all the time

[@SifiFan]

Picked up a few big tips in this one and i have been watching allot of videos lately to educate myself. Thank you for sharing as i am a DIY guy. I'm so excited to build my new Sunroom and my confidence is high with all the great videos available.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Great GL

[@robmiesen1770]

Your workmanship is excellent as always. Your videos are great to watch. You are very clear and concise in your presentation.

[@danielmcgilliss697]

You make it look easy, but I know it is a lot of prep work to make it right. Appreciate your time you take in making these videos.

You are very welcome TY

The owners probably been dreaming of doing the slab in his yard for 30 years and David comes in and completes the dream to perfection, I know that's how I felt when I finally poured mine, not everybody has the money to get quality work but its worth it in the end if you can find good honest people.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good description

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

I fully understand that quality work costs money. What I find where I live; on the east coast, is that it's impossible to get anyone to quote a job. It seems like unless you're ready to tell the contractor to do the job they won't give you a quote.

[@davidz1681]

You're absolutely right. Took my dad 40 years before finally pouring his dream patio. He never had the money and didn't trust contractors anyway. Took a lot of research to find trustworthy people.

[@rce2553]

Looks great! Please follow up on this one after it’s all done, so we can see how the bar b q patio turns out. Thanks for sharing

Hard work guys...job well done.

I really like your videos, you are one of the best I have seen doing this job. But I have a question, why in this job, did you not use dowels on the foundations of the house? In other videos, I have seen that for smaller areas, you use dowels. Thank you very much, you guys are an amazing team.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Why risk damaging the foundation for a patio slab?

[@denjhill]

Nice patio! I've got one just like it planned but the ground is absolutely full of rock and boulders. I'm not sure I can get those footings under the posts deep enough. Any tips other than dig, dig, dig.

[@dirttdude]

Hey Mr. Odell, those city guys were pouring some kind of mixture in to a mold for traffic dividers and guess what! After they removed the molds, they put blankets on the concrete and put a sprinkler on them to keep them wet. When i asked them if they knew what they were doing they said that the wet blankets aren't just for stopping fun from happening but they also help prevent cracking. So i have thought long and hard about everything you learnt me and then i thought super long and super duper hard about the city guys and i think I started to get my head wrapped around this cracking thing... I think it might have something to do with the water and the volume it has and how there's less of it when it dries out which i think makes the concrete shrink and crack!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Bingo

Instead of pouring for the 18" x 18" post footings, could the posts be secured using post anchors and lag screws after the concrete is poured?

Not as strong but it will work

[@1014p]

Fiberglass infused concrete is a good idea. It would probably solve a lot of cracking issues over thermal expansion in weather. What I find a little strange is the seems you cut in only at the surface? In all concrete work I have seen the seam is all the way through. So what purpose is achieved by only cutting it in at the surface and not poured in sets creating the seem in between each section?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It's called a weakened plane joint. that's where it will want to crack because its thinner there now.
