Not to be the ‘keep off my grass guy’
I did this work in DC area for 10 years, I found that the way you lay it with wet mud; the joints crack fast. These are the type of jobs where you will be back tuck pointing & repairing (every masons least favorite gig)
If you use a dry mix of mortar
25 shovels of sand
Bag of Portland
5~ gallons of water
And the most vital part
Use about half a bag of Portland in a 5 gallon bucket mixed with water to a smoothie texture .. this is used on the base to let the mortar bond to the base ,, add mortar to desired height & then add slurry to ensure the flagstone with become almost bonded to the base
I know I went on the ramble to long, but this way the flagstone projects last way longer
Brilliant job 👏
Nice work fellas!
Thank you!
Great video... Really helpful, thank you. Would have liked to have seen the end result after it was cleaned and dried though . Looks like a great job.

Excellent job guys! Great info. I learned a lot .
Thank you! Glad you learned something from us!
Great job
Thanks
Greetings Brothers, please always ware safety glasses when running the saw.
Great video bro. Love how you explain things. Simple !!
Looks great! I use the flooring spacers as well or carpenters pencils. Do you use Mega Flex for the mud or regular mortar? I use MegaFlex as it has polymers in it for temperature fluctuations. Great presentation buds🤘Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks! Regular mortar
thanks guys. use a respirator please when cutting stone.
We will! Thank you!
fun rewarding work
I like it
Great video man. Really informative. I think I can lay the stone myself however I don’t know anything about how to create the mud or how long it takes for it to dry. Does this all need to be done in one day or can you leave and come back? What’s the working time on the mud? Also did the mud in the cracks turn white after it dried?
For the mud experiment with small batches first, I like to start with the mud kinda firm and if I don't like it add a little water till you find out the consistency you like and easy to work. You can come back to it when ever just clean your edges before you finish for the day. The next day should be OK with light traffic but 2 is better, also depends on motar thickness.
Did you want that seam all the way down your beautiful work? Also, wear safety glasses dude! That’s an OSHA violation right in YT. Lol
Nice job looks good! Is your mud a mix of sand and mortar or just straight mortar?
Sand and mortar
You should also explain what the "mud" is? Thinset mortar? Regular mortar? A mixture of mortar, sand and ???
I do a mortar bed and apply thinset to the back of the stone
What’s with the super long joint
I was gonna do another pattern but the home owner liked it
Probably expansion joint
good job.. may I ask why the 2 long running joints. I know the pattern you used was for a walkway but it's only a running bond pattern. what state are you in?
I was going to say the same thing. No straight lines longer than 4' to 6' in any masonry other than brick and block. At least that's what Kevin the Mason learned in 25+ running. I do give the kid credit though, he's got heart. He needs a good teacher though.
It was the pattern they picked
What kind of flagstone is this and where was it sourced? I like the gray and not the tan color flagstone.
Pennsylvania blue stone
Will these pop off in winter when water freezes ?
How do you make the mud? What are the ingredients? Thanks.
What is the "mud" made from? Mud straight from a bag?
Mud is slang for mortar.
Why is the line down the middle that isn't off set with stone not off set like the rest of them nice job though
What happens is a contractor installed my bluestone patio stones directly over compacted soil, not over mud or concrete?
It just settles over time. This will last a whole lot longer
@@masonthemason6412 thanks!
What mortar was used over the concrete
What products do you use to mix your mud?
No bonding agent on the underside of stone. Rookie mistake.
He definitely sounds like a rookie.
I use bond Crete and cement mix for underside
You're the rookie. You'd be wasting time, money bonding mortar to flagstone plus you would stain it so bad...it wear away eventually but homeowner would notice right away. it's very porous that mortar will not break off that stone. However, the agent should be between the mortar and the cement slap. That is where the water will collect and ice may compromise the bond.
Is that “mud” from the ground or adhesive mud?
Adhesive
pretty neat. How much does a job like this run?
We charged by the hour. The homeowner bought the material
You should put a floor cleaner machine on their give yourself a lil less work they're cheap enough to rent
