- JohnyBoy here using EasyJoint to join up patio. I would of preferred to do this before the grass was laid however the client wanted the grass down for their young children but I have managed to work my way around doing it in a clean and tidy way using plenty of water to was away any residue so there was no mess left for the clients.

Great video john, fantastic job
Thanks for this, would like to see more of these “how too” videos showing from start to finish. 👍
I've been subscribed to your channel for some time now. I love
Keeping updated with your day to day work and I have to say I've never come across such a hard working guy like yourself, Johnny. Truly inspirational!. Your a credit to your trade. Your always on the go. A true grafter. Your 'get up and go' attitude is second to none. Well done big man! 👍
Thank you so much
Good advice and a good job by the looks of it .
Don’t normally touch patio work but needs must!
Cheers jeremy, let me know how you get on.
Thanks for this. Have studied your videos over the last month and managed to lay a decent porcelain patio. It's killed me mind you! I'll order some grout now to finish it off. Really... much appreciated.
Good man Paul, lets see the patio
Nexus all the way Johnny boy ..if easy joint works for you then thats brilliant 👏
I use the same technique as you, pushing the compound into the joints so it is fully compacted, not just washing and brushing it in. Great product, dry's very hard with brilliant results. Used all the colours with no problems. Great video.
Thanks Guy your a star
Just found this video after commenting on your other one. Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure
Spot on advice 👍🏼
Glad you think so!
Easyjoint doesn't like bleach ... gonna pull mine up and repoint with sand cement, do you have a preferable mix? Would you bother with a small amount of lime ???
This video has been helpful. I need to do my patio (cant afford a professional and this looks fairly straight forward) however, there are pebbles between the paving slabs. I take it I would need to clear those out first? Also, the gap between the slabs varies, some gaps are as big as 6cm. Would Easyjoint be ok for that? thanks
happy to talk you through it
The mushroom colour also works really well with black slate flags, but I would avoid the jet black colour, I used it on reclaimed cobblestone and it didn't look right, I ended up power washing it out before it set.
Al Copley we've used easy joint about 50 times with no problems and the only time we ever used jet black it stained the paving never touching that again
Great video’s, really helped me lay my black limestone patio. 👍
I’ve just bought some of this. Would you recommend to seal the limestone before or after pointing ?
Cheers mate, I would seal
Ive mixed this into a slurry in the tub and applied with a trowel with plenty of water on the paving. I use a 13mm tuck pointer to finish a flush joint.
great stuff Mark
Loving your helpful videos. Thanks. Can you use this mixed into a pourable paste like you do with EasyGrout?
Hi Gee, thank you. I suppose you could.
What advice would you give for cleaning resin stains from sika fast fix pointing compound from around the joints where my contractor has hand pointed my slabs? Love your videos btw 👍🏼
Hi Daniel, I really don't know this product so I would suggest calling their technical department direct my friend.
just had our patio laid with grey indian sandstone and easyjoint pointing ,trouble is its left lots of stains on the slabs like oil or grease . whats the best way to remove easyjoint stains ?
Hi Graham, this should go soon as it usually burns off in the sun, was plenty of water used Sir?
In your opinion which is better.... the easy joint or the jointit compound you have reviewed in another video. Have you tried marshalls weatherpoint 365 before?
Hi Ryhs, thanks for watching, Easyjoint is my favourite at the moment to be honest, great product always fresh, never used the marshalls one bud.
Great video thanks. What price you will recommend for that job?
Depends on many factors buddy
Thanks for this, nicely explained! You're a different breed to some of the landscapers here up North, they look and sound like neanderthals. Only used S&C to point, time to get with the times! 👍🏻😎🏴
Cheers bud han you appreciate it, stay safe
Good video. I’m not a fan of this stuff I have used it many many times. It tends to loose its colour after a couple years and it also sinks after a couple years of jet washing and people walking on it. I only used sand sharp sand and cement now. Keep up the good work
Paul mate fist of all I wanted to say thank you for your positive approach thank you, I have to say I was always a sand and cement man and only the last 2 years I have used this method, but i do feel its cheap enough to replace after several years and with eaze, its great to have dialogue . like this cheers Johnyboy
Do you have any advice on how to use this with regards to repairing a slightly tired patio? Would you recommend scraping out most of the existing easy joint or just going over the top?
It should bind into the existing but I would take it out Rich it should be easy
@@GreentopLandscapes nice one thank you for the reply! Really Appreciate it 👍
The guys that did our garden in indian stone used easy joint, but it seems to be coming out in a lot of places. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a very deep gap in the joints. Less than 10mm in parts. Is this why its coming out?
Maybe, If I use it I pack it well down nice and tight.
The product instructions say 25mm minimum depth and 3mm minimum width on all joints. So yeah, that's likely the reason it's pulling out.
Hi John, Can I use this on Dolomite Porcelain?
Hi Kyle try Mapei grout they are good
What's better to use on a porcelain patio 5mm gap laid on a concrete base, easy grout or easy joint?
Easygrout
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks, been watching your content for a while, easily the most informative on landscaping services in the UK
Does it last in the tub with water over it for more than 12 months . Its been inside . Looks a bit flaky in the tub under the water , or should I get a new tub ?
Hi Peter I think !2 months will be to long, just check out with Azpects I think its more like 3 months, thanks for watching and be safe.
Just looking through your videos to get some advice. I’m just about to redo our garden patio. We have 2 large dogs and unfortunately they do have to urinate somewhere and it’s on the patio. I was going to replace for a riven buff slab just wondering if you would recommend this and what would you use for the joints as it will be washed down almost twice daily. An6 advice would be grand
. Cheers Lisa
Hi Lisa, thank you for watching, i personally would not as it will stain though you can power wash it, it maybe better to use a two part or an epoxy resin one, more than happy to talk you through this.
Stay safe Johnyboy
@@GreentopLandscapes thank you for getting back to me much appreciated #staysafe
If you have any recommendations of slabs and joint product that would be to use with dogs that would be great
Jonny boy Easy joint or join it ?what the best as I’ve seen you use both
honestly Carl there are loads out there the two part ones are great
Greentop Landscapes & Design cheers for the reply,main issue is colour as we are laying black limestone and client doesn’t want the grout to stand out as most people use light grey they wants it to blend in more with dark grey.just a shout-out to say videos are good mate helps garden maintenance contractors like myself who don’t do the hard landscaping that often👍
Hi Jen, thanks for watching and your comments. the roots system is not bad has you have said, and the growth will depend on simply how happy they are and how the client has looked after them like watering and pruning though the last time i seen them they were doing ok, i will upload a video of them soon for you, thanks Johnyboy
Hiya Jon.. nice vid. Cheers. Mortar betw crazy pavers largely crumbled (donkeys years old); weed city!. Plan: keep existing pavers, clear out old mortar and repoint with EJ as per vid. That means no membrane. Does it fly. Like to stay weed free for as long as. .. roughly how long weed free u think i got with current plan. Bar ripping pavers up any ideas re. stayin weed free. Its more a tidy up than a redo .. dont mind spending on better mixes/products if u suggest. Unless i got it wrong, yur vid suggested i cld spruce old patio up for not alot of time. Full redo planned in couple years .. corona permitting. Gd health 2u and fam. Many thanks in adv. Gary
Will the easy joint help stabilise the Indian sandstone I have put down as some a rocking, I have put them down on a screed slightly damp mix
Hi Karl hope your well and safe mate, really should not rely on the joint to stabilise the paving from rocking mate.
Could you use this ground on a porcelain patio?
No Robert Mate not for me.
Can you use this on them man whole cover,As the water can't escape??
great point I usually drill a few holes
What's the verdict on this stuff after a few years of British weather?
Probably very green now not for me
Hi
How many tubs will I need for 23m2 of Indian sandstone in various size slabs 👍
Hi Dave thats a tough one mate it will simply depend on width and depth of paving my friend, send me a picture of the area
Hi Dave thats a tough one mate it will simply depend on width and depth of paving my friend, send me a picture of the area
Three tubs if it takes two take take the spare back to the merchant 👍👍👍👍
How long before the easyjoint starts to discolour
definitely needs maintenance,
Looking out the window and thinking "wtf is Richard Gere doing in my garden"
lmao,
Not a patch on GFTK
Not used it Glenn mate you will have to keep me posted

Might as well use mortar cheaper and cleaner
These resins are good for DIY’ers but will not last more than a few years. Colours go black/dirty within a few months
thats a great point, manufacturers are beginning to see this now, stay safe
@@GreentopLandscapes So you agree that it is a poor product from duration of application then? I'm confused bc on your video you clearly rate Easyjoint highly
I got 2 tubs of stone grey easy joint and needed a 3rd tub but when it came was a complety different shade and didnt match,company said it does vary from batch to batch and tgst was that,a patio ruined cos they cant make each colour the same,wankers.
Thats not on at all, the Suppliers should make sure they are from the same batch, not on so sorry you had a problem I will mention this to them, stay safe mate
@@GreentopLandscapes iv already spoke to them and as far as their concerned it's the same colour but when putting the 2 colours together it's no where near the same so womt ever buy it again ,shocking company
How to point a patio. Stick your finger out and say to the wife. There it is you do it.
lol
Please don't use any type of easy joint. It doesn't last. I would never go near the stuff. You can't beat a 2-1mix
2 in 1 is far to strong
