I have been thinking about doing this for weeks….then your video popped into my feed. I got up and went to work right away. My project is complete….successful drip line installed under 2 feet of sidewalk! Thanks for the inspiration.

All soil and no rocks? Nice.

This particular sidewalk was a dream. There is an advantage to going just below the sidewalk. It’s usually backfill so the rocks are smaller and less roots.

If you’re using flexible tubing, isn’t it better to use conduit or something wider, in case you need to replace the flexible hose? Then draw a map. With measurements, so you know where it is?
@helpmylandscaping2 ай бұрын
I always recommend taking pictures of any project. Sometimes I include a tape measure in the photo. Also, an “as built” drawing helps. Regarding the flex vs rigid pipe- you can use either. The advantage to the flexible pipe is that you don’t have to dig as long of a trench to install it. With rigid pipe and a short trench, the pipe tends to angle downward. Which is okay for narrow sidewalks, but for wider areas can get quite deep. If you plan on replacing the pipe/hose later, I would recommend using a larger pipe to bore under and then leave it. That way you can slide the smaller diameter pipe through it later. Hope this helps.

Nice video. Is the water pressure enough from the hose though? Seems like a weak jet, no?
@helpmylandscapingАй бұрын
The pressure is usually good enough from a hose. It’s also the shape of the fitting that helps and the volume of water helps to push stuff out of the way. You could use a shorter garden hose to reduce pressure loss

I cannot find the "end fitting" that the water shoots out of anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I found one. It is Spears part no. 1429-129. Here is a link to Amazon. You might be able to find it other places too. amzn.to/4bVvgZZ

thanks ...very well done...have u tried this method under a driveway?
@helpmylandscaping8 ай бұрын
I have tried this method on a driveway. But I substituted the black poly for something more rigid like Sch40 PVC. You can get 10 or 20 foot lengths. The connections should be glued too. And because it is more rigid, the trench on the starting side needs to be longer.

Easy on clean good quality soil. The clay we have here would laugh at your idea.

True. It works most of the time. But I have struggled with some sidewalks.
@buddyboy4x4411 ай бұрын
Cheap enough to try first, then ramp it up if it does not work.
@helpmylandscaping11 ай бұрын
True. It does help, and I forgot to mention this, often the poly pipe has a slight curve to it. So if you put the curve facing up(towards the concrete) and the clamps on the bottom side, it helps guide along the bottom of the sidewalk, and the clamps don’t get hung up as much.

You shouldnt have clay at this depth under your walkway.
