when i install polymeric sand in my pavers i always use mist mode in the water hose that way when i spray the water in my pavers the sand doesnt wash out, i have seen some times that when the people use shower mode the pressure of the water its alot and start washing the polymeric! Nice work Sir!.

@TheChristianHardscaper Ай бұрын

I hear you, washing the sand it is never good... But making sure you don't under water is very important too, that's why I use the shower mode but very carefully...LOL Thanks for the feedback! ✌

Awesome video! I love watching your content. Do you think you could do a video on the front end of the process? I.e. figuring out the footprint of the patio (if it's not close to the house and can't be set off of that) and design considerations? Thank you sir! Keep doing beautiful work!

Very beautiful job, as always. You can tell you put a lot of effort into your work. If you were in my town, I would hire you in a heartbeat.

I install south of Boston. Use to be a Techo loyalist. But doing more and more Unilock now, some of their pre sealed stuff is really nice. Been pushing sealer more, IMO it is a major help to poly sand longevity and paver color. Very easy and quick to lay down with a battery sprayer.

Nice video bud! Love this patio. This is such a great video for someone new to the trade.

I live in northern Ohio where we can get a lot of snow and freezing temperatures over the winter. I’m ready to poly sand my patio and wanted to get it done before the winter . Is there much risk involved with waiting till next spring with water and ice forming in the cracks and worrying with damaging all your work? I’ve already done my concrete edge restraint.

@IanReoch 2 ай бұрын

I'm just installing pavers next week here in the Pacific Norhtwest (central Oregon) Sounds as though it will be too late to install the poly sand this year. My concern is, here we don't have HPB so we have to use washed concrete sand. Without the open grade base will the sand wash away over the winter? Also, what about freezing water in between the joints; will that cause heaving and displacement from the contractions? Thanks in advance. Benny should get the T. stamp.

@TThuynguyen12 Ай бұрын

Also would like to know what you did in the fall for the winter without the poly sand to set the pavers temporarily. We are looking at finishing this job in the spring since it’s too cold now to poly.

I just finished up a diy patio at home. I used techniseal poly but the one in buckets from HD/Lowes and the quality isnt great, didnt fill certain joints due to having some bigger pieces in the sand. What is recommended to remove the poly sand to prep to install better quality poly sand?

@DB509Stang 2 ай бұрын

Is it over kill to cement border pavers down & also cement the edges like you do ?

@judithwatson4828 2 ай бұрын

I have the same concern, I had a contractor cement edge my paver patio, and they didn't at all do ot the way the Christian Hardscaper does it, so smooth and professional.... my contractor mixed in the ¾ stone with the concrete and it looks terrible, plus, I cannot get my artifical turf flush to the patio edge... wondering how to fix this issue? Cut it away and redo it or build steps (it's raised above grade on two edges of the patio)... HELP! #ChristianHardscaper #thechristianhardscaper

I see you used a bunch of different pavers this season. Which ones were your favorite in your opinion

@TheChristianHardscaper Ай бұрын

That's a tough one, I like them all for different reasons... Honestly, I like doing different styles because I like a lot of different styles. LOL But the wavy joint lines of the ones in this video is something I really like. I just wish they were the same size as the bigger (Blu 60) pavers

I Did a large patio this summer for a coworker and had sticker shock at the $500 cost of poly sand. Wouldn’t install pavers without a quality poly sand though! Years ago I installed old clay pavers to match existing pattern which has 1/2” joints and I tried to sweep in some very fine sand then tamp it before sweeping in poly sand but the sand barely settled. Tried to wet it down to help it settle but ended up having to vacuum out the joints. Customer was on a tight budget but I learned to not put my name on a project unless I could do the job right.

@TheChristianHardscaper 2 ай бұрын

I feel you, poly sand can be pricey, but I definitely agree it’s worth the money for a quality result! It is always touchy using polymeric sand with those clay pavers, such big joints.... But I hear you, some people have a limit with cost. But warranties don't have to be given on situations like that for sure. Thanks for the comments ✌

Hey brother, how would you finish up to or on top of 4 foot deep sono tube's with pavers

@TheChristianHardscaper 2 ай бұрын

I actually just dealt with that recently... I cut the tubes just below the bottom of paver height and removed the pavers in a perfect square around the tube. Then I poured the tube and poured the empty square in between the pavers to be connected to the tube. Then I floated it flat to the top of the pavers for the supports of a new set of lumber steps to come down onto the patio. Worked pretty good actually. ✌

Hardscaping is awesome. I'm trying to choose between this and something like plumbing or hvac as a career; but there's nothing like building physical structures to make you feel like a man.

@TheChristianHardscaper 2 ай бұрын

I feel that, there's nothing quite like building something that's gonna last... I absolutely love this work and hope to be in it as long as possible! ✌

I made some mistakes when poly-sanding our paver patio and now I have some really bad stains, how do we get the stains off? Praying ot can be removed somehow... do you have any suggestions on how to do this? #ChristianHardscaper #thechristianhardscaper

After seeing you use that plate compactor on the disc golf paver pad, I went and bought one. It worked great for about 2 hours of use.....and stopped and hasnt worked since. Really disappointed. But Evolution sent me a full refund. And let me keep the compactor. Havent had time to get it to my small engine mechanic but hoping its fixable. If it is, I will have a free compactor! lol

@TheChristianHardscaper 2 ай бұрын

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I knew that it wasn't a top of the line product but is good for the price. I personally haven't had an issue with mine yet and I used it quite a few times this year. Hopefully it is something simple and you do get a nice free tool! LOL And that is really nice to hear they refunded you completely, shows good customer service. ✌

@Mangold2865 2 ай бұрын

@ outstanding customer service. Gave me a free circular saw and blades too. Apparently they are discontinued, the gas compactors. Told me they are only going offer the battery one. Offered to send me a new gas one or refund me. I just took the refund. I got if for my business for the same reason you use it, for polysand.
