- This project took place in Bowie, MD and was built to replace a poor man’s version of a wall surrounding a fire pit. Being very comfortable with home improvement, this was my first hardscape project so I did not begin without a lot of research and visits to several brick yards before I put my hands on the shovel. My bill of materials was the following:
(10) pallets of brick - 2,000 lbs each
(1) pallet of 2” coped Travertine stone - 2,100 lbs
(1) cu yard of CR-6 stone and (1) cu yard of #57 stone
(20) large tubes of landscape adhesive
(6) hardscape lights & (2) post lights
Misc tools Lots of Bengay and Cortizone shots for the knees

Great job!!
Way awesome job 👌
Fantastic job. Thanks for sharing!
You definitely put in the hard work, love the cutting top cap tip...
Not too many things I would’ve done differently, and the adhesive held up pretty well, with the exception of a few of the travertine pieces on the top of the wall.
Excellent work. It looks beautiful 😍
Wow! Sheer Determination! Beautiful and Professional Work! Bravo!
That is awesome, good job
You have mad skills. So blessed to be able to do that.
Wow! Nice work. Looks great
That sir is awesome. I had the same wagon. It has taken a beating.
Great footage
Great video!!
Very nice, Outstinking-standing!
Beautiful
Bravo! great job of capturing the time lapse and you must be retired trades guy. You have skills, vision and perseseverance. Well done!
Actually I'm a woodworking home improvement dude and I never did hardscape before. But TH-cam is an excellent teacher! :o)
Oh my gosh. At 10:11 when you showed how to measure the angle. THANK YOU! Ok let me finish video then I’ll be back to comment more.
Well, I love it and now I want it. What a great video! Thank you SO much for making it. I’m trying to do this myself and I’m very nervous. I wish I could have been there to watch and learn from you. Great job! It’s beautiful! 🎉🎉🎉
Nice work, nicely illustrated.
I was interested to note that the inside seating rows were structurally separate from the back retaining wall portion, so both major parts are free to move up and down, independently with the seasonal frost. I would imagine that this would work out well, but I am not a structural engineer.
Good observation, and that was definitely taken into consideration in the design.
Nice work, going to take on a similar job. How has the adhesive held up? What would you have done differently?
Hi , nice job 🔥🔥🔥, what electric saw you use to cut the blocks ? Thank you.
Taking down above ground pool about 42ft of it below grade 1/2 moon sort of ea end starts bout 6" the towards middle up to 2ft any suggestions
The wall is beautiful but I would tile the floor. But excellent masonry work.
the floor was always considered "phase 2" of the project. As you can see the initial wall had the washed stone all ready in the middle so I build around it at the time. Needless to say the when the misses saw the final CC bills roll in I was told to delay phase 2 :o(
Hopefully you still read posts from this video, but I was wondering what type of brick you were using for this project? I am doing something similar and want chair seating like this and not a wall seat like most of the kits I have found. If you have a more detailed list of materials that would be awesome just like your finished product!
Hello and thanks for following up. The main bricks were pre-formed concrete molds from Home Depot and the top cap pieces on the columns, as well as the seat were 2 inch coat travertine stone.
Here is a link to the exact stone for the wall and seating:

Looks great, what kind of brick you used?
The main structure was pre-made Rumblestone from HD (about 10 pallets total one at a time) and the seating, backrest tops, and lantern pillars were 2 inch travertine pool coping.
to make that circular design, did you have to cut your pavers?
How long did it take altogether? (Assuming you did the work after work and on weekends)
I started around early September and I planned to just remove the old stones, then I kept going and kept going until I got a good rhythm. Turns out I finished right after Thanks giving
I started around early September and ending a few days after Thanksgiving. And yes that included long weekends and a few days during the week after work.
Are those rectangular bricks you used or do they have a curve to them?
All the brick are rectangled, nothing was curved.
Hi, how much did you end up spending on materials (roughtly)
Sorry for the late reply, the total project (materials only) was around $5,500
Zipper. Breaks🤣🤣
right... it definitely started to get a little cold. :o)
