Not been active on here for a while. We’ve been really busy but I’m pleased to say we’ve been filming a lot of what we’ve been doing. So we’ve got this little back yard, and a large gravel drive with some stunning steps. We’ve also a block drive, pathway and nice step. They’ll be coming over the next few weeks. Then, in January we will be doing WEEKLY uploads on probably our biggest ever job to date. The whole thing will take approximately 10 weeks so lots to come on that 😊
I'm glad you've been filming. I enjoy watching your projects come together. Matty, between the perfection of your work and the good nature of everyone on the jobs, it's a pleasure to watch your videos. Young Jacob seems to be following in your footsteps. I have no doubt he does excellent work, too.
There he is back with an early Christmas pressie for us to enjoy! Lovely job on this back yard to bring it up to date. Great seeing another Mr B job. Thank and Merry Christmas 🎄
Hi matty happy to see new videos , i spend my time to watch old videos , im professionnels french builder but i learn by watching your vidéo god bless you .
Quick question please pal, what mix you using please for the porcelain? I've been trying different mixes but the consistency of yours looks spot on. Really appreciate your reply 👍 Also while I'm asking, do prefer a sand & cement render rather then something like K rend? Top job by the way, looks awesome! A nice clean simple design executed brilliantly! Just found your channel and quickly subscribed 👍
Hi mate. Thank you for the kind words. Grit /sharp sand, always. So we use this 5/1 with cement. Use a plastiscer too to make it workable and cuts down on water/shrinkage. Yes, always use sand and cement in a garden, K rend is really porous & won’t last in these conditions👍
As always excellent workmanship and nice to see that you always take so much pride in your work. I know it must be hard working and filming but if you put more videos out there I'm sure you would get more subscribers. I also watch B & P Paving and D & J Projects and I've given you a mention on there a few times but the quality of your work is second to none. Wishing you and your team a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
What a transformation and really refreshing to watch quality work being completed it was a pleasure to watch. If you guys were close to me in the Cotswolds I would be using you every time. Brilliant work well done and keep the standards up guys.
Stunning job as always, great to see the team working well together, love the fact that Jacob is following in his Dads footstep. Thanks for sharing,happy Christmas to you all, wishing aHappy heathy new year🎉🍻👍
Fantastic looking work as always…really appreciate you spending your time outside of the site work putting these vids together. I know what it takes to run a small business so to be doing this as well, as well as family, hats off to you.
Love it - another stunning transformation 👌 what did you use for screening timber on this one? Enjoy a break over the festive period and bring on the big job videos in 2023!
Directed to the gully the far end, 2 outlets - gate & soak away the other 👍 you could of put one in for sure, but not essential as it would of comprised the look 👍
Awesome,Quality, Inspirational springs to mind when describing your work. I need to stop the better half from watching your Vlogs as 120sq metres of porcelain paving, 4 block walls, stone cladding etc later I’m just finishing off the final touches. What do you use to waterproof the concrete blocks, as laid a french drain, going to paint with bitumen and noticed you’ve used DPC membrane?
Yeah I get that a lot from the US we don’t have the freeze thaw element here. It rarely goes below zero here. It’s the recognised way of laying paving here in a domestic setting. We do lay on sand too but only thicker flags and of course block paving 👍
A big thank you to you and the boys for some excellent vlogs in 2022, top quality work. Merry Christmas to you and the boys and all the very best for the new year
Beautiful job, as always! Can't wait to see the 10 week job, intriguing. Wishing all you chaps a merry Christmas and a happy New year. Best wishes Christine x
marvellous way for me to spend a bit of time on a Saturday afternoon watching this, im a hard landscaper. the humble side of me says "you never stop learning" which is true. great job again Matty and the boyzzz
Big fan of Matt and the boys at Brockstone..Matt quick question...concrete block raised flower bed...should the inside blockwork be tanked or waterproof membrane or does it not need either?...the outside will be rendered...thanks mate
Awww fab to see you back! Can’t wait to see what’s on the way and this job looks incredible as always, well done to all involved! I am continually surprised by how you cut so accurately free hand Matty 🖐🏻 amazing. Loving the bloopers too 😝😜 xxxxxx
@@Brockstonepavingpros always a real pleasure to watch you and the team at work ❤️ I’m well thank you, sadly my beautiful Mumsie hasn’t been very well so currently looking after her but should be uploading a new Video soon, thank you always for your support too xxxxx will keep a watch for your new posts
@@Brockstonepavingpros thank you sweetheart, it’s a bit of a long road at the moment but I will be sure to pass along your lovely words as she loves watching your videos too xxxxx
Beautiful job mate thanks for all the information. Got my first porcelain job this week 👍 Have you changed your bedding material ? What ratio do you recommend ? Thanks
Thank you. Sometimes I change it if the bed is a bit deeper I’ll dry it up a bit. Or if it’s raining I’ll use a drier mix than we’d usually use. There’s no right or wrong way it as long as you’re using a grit sand and cement at the right ratio.
Wish I had the money to get you to come and sort out my driveway. In the meantime, I'll carry on watching your videos for inspiration. Outstanding craftmanship & conscientious work.
That's some beautifully done work there. Although, for me, I'd have wanted the wall under the cedar rendered and painted aswell. For aesthetics of course.
Thank you The wall had recently been repointed so was in decent nick. I like the contrast- brick & render personally. I’m never one for rendering over brick unless it’s really bad or severely spalled.
The bed got a bit deeper so switched drier. I’ll usually lay on wet but switch depending on conditions, usually wet weather It’s moist mix not dry, so bit more water in 👍
My older bro does this for a job aswell so it's nice to see other guys doing a really good job on small terrace back gardens 👍🏻 like from me brother 💪🏽
I’m a new Subscriber and absolutely love your work, you guys are awesome and turn out some breathtaking work, I’m starting my Patio and was just wondering what ratio are you using for your bed with 600 x 600 porcelain tiles, Thanks Rob
Thanks Rob, appreciate the kind words of support. We use 5/1 grit (sharp) sand to cement There’s a video we’ve done on laying porcelain paving so check that out 👍
Just going through your videos I really like the cedar on the fencing, is it locally to you or can I buy it nationally, Great work and still loving your work 👍

Tanking membrane 👍

great job and beautiful transformation :)

Do you cover Essex?
Amazing work but don’t forget that PPE, you need to look after the eyes and ears and knees ✌🏼
Thank you. We wear it when it’s needed, don’t you worry 😎
Lovely job once again. Can I ask why the mix got drier as the job went on. Cheers
The base went deeper so dried it up
I’ll switch sometimes, just depends on ground and weather conditions 👍
👌👏👍🍻💪🤜
👍👍
Hi mate, great vid, what mix is it that you are bedding the tiles in. Regards, John.
Mortar mix 5-1 grit sand cement 👍
Whats the darker bed you put down before the cement please.
Great work by the way
You guys are really good at what you do 👍
We try our best 👍 thank you
👍
Thanks
Hello mate, nice work. What is in the mix? Looks dark so I am just curious
Thanks. Just the sand we were using, natural colour of the sand, just a normal mix 👍
@@Brockstonepavingpros thanks for the reply. Understand
Hi matty what grout did you use for this one mate?
It was a fugabella grout, not sure what number sorry
Really nice! Can I ask what tiles they are, please?

Really neat job , well done 👏 ✔️
If you don't mind me asking , what grout have you used ?
Thank you
It’s Kerrakol Fugabella
Great job lads. Going to look great. What’s the gap between the boards in the cedar fencing? Looks fantastic.
Cheers thank you
12mm 👍
Top job
Ta 👍
A builder told me that you’re supposed to leave a shingle gap between the wall and paving to allow rain to soak through the ground, is it necessary?
No, if anything you should put a lineal drain such as an ACO but not needed unless a level threshold or falling towards house
Fantastic workmanship in all your videos, detail and pride in your projects are a credit to you. Joe Ireland
Massive thanks for the support Joe 🙏
Love watching you and your team work keep it up buddy, out of curiosity why was there some tiles going down with a dry mix and some with a wet mix ?
The bed got a bit deeper so switched drier.
I’ll usually lay on wet but switch depending on conditions, usually wet weather
It’s moist mix not dry, so bit more water in 👍
Shamazing
Thanks son 🤣
My older bro does this for a job aswell so it's nice to see other guys doing a really good job on small terrace back gardens 👍🏻 like from me brother 💪🏽
Thanks 👍 really good to hear, appreciated my mate! All the best 🤜🤛
great! work as always. do you work with a designer or do you do the designs yourself? cheers matt
Bit of both mate 👍
What color of stain do you use on the cedar to maintain that natural look??
Osmo oil
Beautiful job guys ! Good to see so much care and attention to detail

Can I ask why you didn't stagger the joints in the panelling. Don't get me wrong lovely job
We never do. I prefer it in panels and we try to colour match the battens so they flow.
