Dude I wish I could work with you for the low. You could pay me in popsicle sticks but I wouldn’t care. The knowledge obtained is priceless
I appreciate that! 👍👍
The problem with small contractors is that employees often learn everything involved in the trade because they work side by side with the owner and they want to quit to start their own “business” or they start doing side jobs on the weekends lol
Haha this is definitely a struggle
Maybe spending on good tools will keep them around longer? Although I suppose you have to get big fast to offer the really good stuff in terms of employee benefits.
Pretty good explaining the difference, can u put a video how to cutting pavers , retaining wall and cap? Thank u
Thank you! Sure can!
Great video
Thank you!
Probably timing would be reversed as slab size increases.
Question: Looking at the site there, I have a 15'x15' exposed base ready for laying. 3/4 is 25 year old 4" screening that's essentially hard has rock, the rest, clay/soil. Should I protect the site from upcoming storms with a tarp or is that not even a concern??
I agree with the other fellow that said he'd like to work with you. Me too if I were 40 years younger 🤣
Agreed, plus saves your fingers with those larger slabs.
😂 there is always a position ready for you here Carl.
You may want to depending on the site. If there is a chance for pooling water it could mix your soil with your base material and then you will need to scrap some of that off before continuing. But if a tarp is not going to prevent pooling, there is not a major point to doing it. Ultimately it sucks when it rains for us in this industry.
@@iamahardscaper Thanks, yes I can well imagine the weather plays a big part. I used to do a lot of work outside, climbing stacks working in January blizzards in all Ontario so appreciated the warm dry weather. For me it didn't damage anything, in your case it can play a role. Rain on freshly screeded sand? Back to square one.
What are the sunglasses for
This video was long ago, don’t know what you’re referring to 🤷♂️
The most you use it the more efficient it will get.
💯
Great video, I just won a Grabo at a landscape show. I am going to try it out. It's not meant for porous pavers, but it's free, so I am going to test its limitations. I pinched a never in my back a long time ago and it's been giving me trouble ever since, so anything you can do to reduce the stress on your lower back is worth every penny of investment, the pain from the alternative is worse than giving birth. I can say that because my sister had the same issue and said it herself. THE HARDSCAPE BUSINESS CAN BE LUCRATIVE BUT YOUR BODY MAY PAY THE PRICE SO BE CAREFUL.
BTW how much can you charge per square foot for a lift and relay in your area. I try to avoid them because it's more work than a new installation but we have too much competition and can't charge as much.
That is a good win! We actually have a video on the grabo and we test it on various types of materials so you can see what it works on and what it does not work on. Very true, take care of your back.
I am somewhere around $12-$15 per square foot lift and relay.
Reliable healp that it's the trick now in days
👍👍
