      Have to figure what works best for you. You need to understand how much your time is worth, the cost of materials,
      and a strong understanding of how long each step of a job will take to complete.
      Someone building patios in California that wants to drive a Lamborghini is going to be serving a much different clientele than someone in the Northeast and the profits needed to complete a job will be much higher.
      You have to figure out where you are and where you are headed to set realistic goals.

      Yes you do, it helps hold the pressure of the backfill stone as well as the concrete pad and granite landing. ✌

    Thanks for the great tips, especially explaining about why it's a good idea to used crushed stone under concrete to avoid it freezing and expanding. I detect some Boston accents there lol

    You guys are doing an excellent job. I love watching your videos, and I can learn a lot from it. I am in dire need for new steps (right now using some plastic stuff purchased on Amazon which are falling apart) and I was thinking of using those concrete blocks as well and I have two questions:
    1: I have about 10 inch of stucco bellow my patio door, before it gets to weep screed and foundation. I am not sure if is OK to put those concrete blocks against the stucco, would that create any issues with the moisture?
    2: Can you add patio pavers instead of stone veneer and is fo, do you glue them, or would you cement them?

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the feedback! And you can build you blocks right up against the stucco, it won't be an issue. And you can certainly use pavers instead of veneer and I think you can use glue or cement. I think a nice thin set mortar would hold better than glue though

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, the 3/4 is great for giving moisture a place to go and it is a low cost (compared to concrete) filler material.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      The base has 6-8 inches of crushed stone and then we poured a 4" concrete pad on top of that. Here is a link to the full videos of this project 👉th-cam.com/play/PLo6xdtKoDxWYe8lFkdYnvAnNbRMA0VJ-3.html

    Instead of using sand as my top base below a paver what type of gravel would I use?

    • @mikez4132
      @mikez4132 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Chip stone. 1b Limestone, granite chips...or whatever the clean angular 3/8" and smaller chip stone in your area is. No big stones as that is harder to screed and dosnt allow the pavers to settle on plane with each other when compacted.

    What the height of each step without stair tread?
    Thank you
    And what kind of special mortar you using for adhesive veneer?
    Please name it in details if you could

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      Those blocks are 8 inches high with mortar under them. So the steps are 8" high.
      We use (Ardex) (X77) for the mortar.

    • @romeothehavanese

  • @briankurzhal
    @briankurzhal 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Might a 26-gauge sheet of galvanized flashing Gorilla-glued to the house possibly protect the house from moisture associated with the steps? The siding of my house rotted because concrete was poured against my house with nothing separating the two. The only way for me to access and repair the rotting siding and sheathing and joist ends and sill plate is to remove the concrete steps.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! You determine that by square footage. So length x width x height of all the areas needed.

      The customer sealed the 2 inch thick kickboard with heavy sealer before we built up against it and then we used silicone along the top joint of the steps.

      Northeast Masonry. it is called (Interlocking thin stone veneer panels)

    These are 8x8x16's it appears. Is the rise too high/uncomfortable?

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      You are correct, the steps are 8" high which is the max by code. I don't think they are uncomfortable but I do believe 6" steps are more comfortable. But building it with 3 steps just did not make sense.✌

      They end being similar in price, but yes a little cheaper. Some like that look but the stone veneer and cap is a totally different style that some like much more than solid stone steps, I'm one of them... lol ✌
