Very helpful thanks very much. Very impressed with your after photos, it looks fantastic. Going to attempt to do the same to my patio as it’s looking very sad
Thanks..this video just saved me. I have the same patio with the same cracks in the joints. I'm a first time home buyer and I only been living here for 6 months. I was thinking I'm going to have to pay a professional but after watching this I could do this myself..no problem!!
After seeing all that you did, and how much work it entailed, I’m pretty sure that we’ll be forced to hire a mason or skilled handyman to do the work. I know it’s pricey, so we may have to wait a while. But thank you for showing what you did. Your project turned out great!
Hey, thanks for the video! I also repaired my flagstone patio with concrete. Overall I was happy with the result; but, I failed to use the wet sponge to prevent getting concrete on the stones. Your advice about making the concrete wetter allows it to be more workable is good advice. I have some fine cracks that I am thinking about applying dry concrete powder then wetting it in the cracks and maybe working it with a small brush such as a toothbrush. Blessings, Dennis Spurgeon.
Thank you for the video! I wanted to hire a company to do the repairs to my flagstone. Very similar to your repairs. They wanted to just replace the stone and charge me $12,000.00. I know it could be repaired and I will be repairing it myself. Thank you again.
Thanks for your great tips! Seeing that you sifted out the stones from your concrete mix, I’m wondering if going with mortar would yield the same result…especially since you used a pretty wet mix.
You’re welcome, I hope it helps. I’m sorry, that was so long ago I don’t remember what concrete I used… it was common though, nothing unusual or unique.
Hallo I live in Ottawa Canada, where winter is colder my flag stone needs some stone to remove and to redo all the crack joints , what tipe cements will you recommend so it will fix the problem, thanks.
hello from New Zealand...that was great work ....lots of hours as well....i have similar situation going on in my patio ... will give it a go this weekend.. u r right about the stone dust..dint work as advertised lol...is this the same path that u did in nov 2020..as per the video..thats how i subscribed you
So much time spent unnecessarily. Apply cement powder mix (no stones inside) as you would apply ground to the tiles. Raise it all the way up to the edge of the stone. Your work is mediocre and will open up again because the areas are not fully sealed and the water will do is thing again.
He’s by no means lazy, in any way, but someone who’s not afraid to figure things out on his own, through trial and error. Didn’t we all learn how to walk or run after numerous falls?

Can you use pre-mixed concrete, the just add water type? Thanks for the video.
That’s what I used, how did water, and you’re welcome I hope it helps
Thanks for the great tips. What type if concrete did you decide worked best?
You’re welcome, I hope it helps. I’m sorry, that was so long ago I don’t remember what concrete I used… it was common though, nothing unusual or unique.
Hallo I live in Ottawa Canada, where winter is colder my flag stone needs some stone to remove and to redo all the crack joints , what tipe cements will you recommend so it will fix the problem, thanks.
Nicely done imo. Did you seal it or plan to ?
How old was your flagstone prior to when you repaired it?
I don’t know, we had owned the house for about six years when I did the repair.
What brand of cement did you use? I have the exact same problem and plan to do a similar repair later this summer.
@@danielcraig581 I’m sorry, that was a couple years ago. I did try 2-3 diff brands looking for best color match.

Great to hear from you! Hope yours goes well! The patio is attached to the two walkways I did videos about, yes, Good luck!
Hi..and thanx
Hey, and you’re welcome, hope it’s helpful!
@@tallstevenpaul9738 It was thank you
Sir, please clarify this question.. you showed gator dust in the beginning but you didn’t use it. Right? You have used concrete instead. Right?
What kind of concrete did you use? Brand?
Sorry, honestly I don’t recall. I tried several till I found one that color matched well.
You don’t even tell us what the bag was
Dude! Go to Home Depot, get yourself some margin trowels of varying size.
It will most likely crack again
Thanks

This was a DIY project by a home owner. He's not claiming to be a mason w/decades of experience.
Lazy mans way. Blah blah blah
