I know you are aiming to transition to more entertainment KZbin videos from educational videos over time but I appreciate the educational ones. Porcelain is new territory for a lot of us Landscapers so it’s nice to see all these details being explained. It’s weird to think hardscapers are becoming pseudo-tilers with porcelain but it’s looking like it will be more popular over time.

i think when i say that, i mean more so educational entertainment videos where i document the entire day / project like this video where it is much longer. I will have another video that is just How to Install a Porcelain Patio where it is 10 minutes like usual for the purpose of education and including in my proposals.

True true, looking forward to the footage of you guys going to HNA this fall!

Was this tile from a company called Porcea Stone? Early this year the company i work for did a 5000 sq ft tile job. We laid it on a concrete surface and mortored in place. Kinda like indoor tile. It seemed to take forever. Turned out amazing. Great job by the way.

Yes it is. The install does take a long time. The end result with porcelain is great though

Going to need a review video on that little skid steer!

[@iamahardscaper]

It is coming! Probably in the next couple of weeks

I never knew porcelain can be used for patio. Looks amazing but very complicated

[@iamahardscaper]

It is really beautiful stuff and I was excited to install this one. It is a different skill than laying pavers.

You can even use ceramic way down south where there is no freeze-thaw cycle.
