    Questions: What is the objection to poly sand? Does the resin and gravel allow water through to drain or does it all run off? Thanks so much, extremely helpful video for a DIYer!

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Poly sand when the gaps are large is softer. One guy did an experiment to test 6+ brands of poly sand. It washes out over time.
      Gravel and resin does allow water through.
      Mortar is my new favorite. It’s the strongest of the 3. It’s what they use in Europe. Sorry I don’t have a video using mortar.

    Does water drain through the gravel seams with the adhesive? My back yard is on a hill that slopes down. I had retaining walls put in and I'm currently working on my walkway and patio on the upper most portion of those walls...I am wondering if I should go right up to the edge of my retaining wall or if i should leave a gap for drainage to run vehind the retaining wall where the french drain is located so it can run through my corregated perf (socked) pipe?

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes it drains through gravel. Over 50 years that gravel may be full of debris and not drain through.
      How tall is your retaining wall? If it’s high a rail is needed.
      I think the decision to go up to the retaining wall or on top of it may be a design decision. What looks the best is what I would ask.

    I am in complete awe of what you created here, and in record time. This is so much more work than people realize! Yours turned out so much nicer than what I've seen created by pro hardscapers. Is this your profession?! :) Would you do anything differently if you did this again? I hired someone to do this same project, yet larger, in my back yard for a patio with a fire pit in the middle, and he was a professional landscaper and assured me he understood the style I was going for, based on photos I provided. All the materials were dropped off. I believe he made some mistakes with the grading and he started working super fast and got much of it done in one day, which is insane. So I went out there and there were gaps as large as my foot - no cutting any pieces at all, no attempts to make things look cohesive. He was kind of just throwing things in place, working as fast as possible with putting in little thought to it. So, I paid him for the day and let him go. He way overcharged me too! I was then left with this massive project to redo. Fixing and adjusting the gradient and fixing the leveling on the pieces has been a lot of work.
    I'm finally finishing it up now, more than a year later. My flagstone looks so different from yours and I wonder if one was manufactured and if mine is just natural. Mine appears to have way more inconsistencies with some pieces being several inches thick and some being way thinner and lots of variation and differences which makes leveling a bit tricky. In the beginning my son and I were hand-chiseling to cut pieces and now I'm to the point where somehow I can just find pieces that fit decently well, though my gaps are larger than yours and mine look much less perfect and neat. I am still really happy with the results and nearly done. It's hard as there are tons of mosquitos out now, so I try to work on it at 5 AM when it's cool out. I'm close to being done with the patio, but plan to make walking paths later with left over stones.
    Sorry for the long comment but I am so impressed and in awe of your skills. I want to ask your advice. I was planning to purchase polymeric sand, until I saw the brilliant method you used. With polymeric sand, you need to get a plate compactor to get the product deep to the bottom of the stones. With your method, it isn't necessary? Maybe I missed it, but when you used the easihold, did you only apply it to the top of it? Or, did you do one layer of the aggregate gravel, then apply some easihold, then another and more? I just want to make sure my flagstone is nice and secure as I have some smaller pieces being used in between some larger ones. The edge of my area is more organic and not cut. Do you think it might be a problem as the pieces could possibly move slightly? I could adjust some pieces to use really large or heavier ones on the outside. Thank you!

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Holly! Thank you for stopping by! Yes I would do something different, I would use mortar as the joint filler. I built a small stone pad on the side of the house in front of the crawl space door. There I used mortar and it is holding up great. I can still scrape out some of the gravel and install mortar if I want at some point. For now it's good enough.
      No, this is not my profession. I work for TWDC as a software engineering manager. This was my first flagstone patio project. I just did some research and went for it.
      Wow what a story dealing with your flagstone patio. Sorry that didn't work out for you. I learned that, working with flagstone is an art form. It takes patience to get the pieces where you want them. Everyone has a different expectation of the gaps, joints, and level of perfection. Flagstones are hard. I did have a lot of variation in the depth. 1" was the thinnest to 3.5" for the thickest.
      The polymeric sand is definitely easy to install and will work fine. Many any the comments recommended I just go with sand. Gravel would be a good #2 choice like I did. My ultimate #1 choice today if I redid this would be a mortar. Even though it's not installed on top of concrete, it's holding up great.
      All 3 of these come with pros and cons and I can tell you like to make the best decision as much as I do. Good luck in the rest of your patio project. Once it's done you can forget about the past and move forward enjoying the space with your family :)

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just applied 2-3 coats of easihold on top. It’s very liquid so it sinks fast. 3 coats made it very firm. If you apply it in layers as you described it would be stronger in theory.

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Definitely larger stones on the outside help hold it in place. Some experts suggested mortar as an edge restraint. I tried it and it works well. You don’t need a straight edge like mine.

    I have done a few flagstone patios in my home, and the best and most durable solution is to put the stone on a floor of concrete, letting them sink in, leveling, and filling the gaps and joints with same cement, while still wet. Good for 100 years. Any other solution is a 2-5 year investment only.

      Great call out. Go for the textile fabric if you like. It separates gravel from the clay so that they never merge. It’s an ultra long term strategy. But if you need 200 year longevity then go with a concrete or mortar base. Concrete will last longer.

      That’s their standard practice as wild as it seems. I would love a forklift

      Hi Ann! It is not easy for sure. There’s strategies to accomplish this. Spread it out. Buy a wheelbarrow. Team up with someone to help. I hope you are able to reach for your goals and find a way to achieve it. Let me know if you want to chat through ideas. Take care!

      I would love one. I have no where to store a wheel barrow. One day!

    Yo you should’ve left a natural edge and you mf crazy for moving all that sand , I don’t believe it lol but a wonderful job for DIY

      Natural edge is a nice look. And yeah I agree I was on the crazy side :)

    Holy cow my neighbors and city would be pissed if I had a truck just come out and dump stone on our public roads like you just did.
    This is what not to do people. Be considerate of your tax dollars, after all you paid for those roads. Protect them and keep them nice and clean.

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Totally! Don’t do what they did. This is a base layer road. So the final road layer has not been installed yet. Coming soon. But you make a great point, most would have a final road so a fork lift would be optimal.

    I know a lot of stone masons don't use the guard... But you should at least mention in your video that SAFETY WISE it's not recommended

    • @BrandonTran
      @BrandonTran  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great call out! As I look at other videos it’s about 50/50 that remove the guard. I’ll keep the guard on moving forward. I took the guard off a long time ago for a different use case and never put it back on. It should stay on for safety!
