I’m so grateful for this video!! I’m building my own backyard pond and I wanted to use concrete blocks but was wondering how to cover them, so I thought i might aswell use red bricks but now ima head back to the concrete blocks and cover with the same walking you used. Thank you so much great review and guide!
And there was me thinking I was going mad installing this stuff on my garden wall. So much variation in the tiles. I also fixed using external tile adhesive and got it everywhere! Plus they're black slate tiles!! Given it a nice sealer coat, and it really doesn't look too bad at all. Way better than the wall bare and that in itself was crap and out of line - so using the adhesive gave me a bit of play in lining it all up. First thing wife said was "there's a few gaps in it!" - so glad a professional has this problem. I even used grinder to shave a few of the edges off to make it sit better. Not an easy job, but I like the look of it.
Landscaper from Melbourne, use that product as well, absolute ball ache doing the corners ! Can also cut a piece in half, mitre each side of the half and then you get a nice clean corner - obviously a lot more work ! Love you channel 👍👍
thanks Lachlan I did actually consider that idea also but the corners are so brittle they would’ve just fallen apart Thanks for watching much appreciated 👍🏴
Haha I'm so glad you made this video as i put the same stuff around our pond and it drove me crazy especially the fact they are all over the place size wise and there were a few that were clearly just shite glued back together. They look awesome wet and from a distance but having a keen eye I'm always looking at the joints 🙃 Looking forward to the full video buddy 👍🏼
So you’ve had the same issues as me before with these things personally I bloody hate them they’re so temperamental and un square.. The customer is always thinks it looks great the one you have the eye so easy to spot the faults 👍🏴
Hi mate, have you ever had issues using Sika adhesive rather than cement based trowel on adhesive ? I want to do my garden wall but wondered if that grab adhesive has ever failed with rainwater etc ? Thank you
Bloody hell scott what a nightmare of a product ! Like you say horrible to put up but I've got to say once again you've done a fantastic job of that mate 👍 looks absolutely bang on so far and the main thing is the client loves it so nice 1, p.s another bangin tune during the video👊
Thanks Darren glad you enjoyed the video mate and a true review of the products somethings are just really hard work again to do if there are differences in sizes Glad you liked the tunes too 👍🏴
Scott i feel your frustration mate .Dont like the stuff one bit dont want to use it or lay it wouldn't enjoy it as i just dont like it it dont look right it looks what it is fake stonework.That isnt an insult to you or your work which is some of the best around mate .if a customer asked me to do it i would like you have but i agree with you its a pain. Love your honesty and your work mate .marshalls are selling that product a d you have to then adjust and cut it sounds a nightmare. Good luck mate 👍
Thanks for watching Justin yeah I don’t like the stuff in the slightest it looks okay when it’s up but it should be easier to install than it is. I believe it’s a fair and honest review and judging by the comments and by the sounds of it it’s the same for everybody 👍🏴
Yea your spot on as usual Scott very honest .Your work is right up there with the best mate where only as good as what we install.if you hadn't of spent ages doing cuts you shouldn't have to do it would of look bad but as usual you went the extra mile . Not a good product there all crap mate .Anyway good luck roll on spring a 🙂👍
Are you only filmed it with my time-lapse camera watch this video it has the wall in it and a link at the end of the video to the timelapse 👍🏴 th-cam.com/video/RxzTrMCeBXU/w-d-xo.html
My neighbour is currently covering their patio wall with these things. They look atrractive until you come to the corners, especially the external corners, where they look exactly like the stick-on bricks they are. For me, I would build up the external corners with actual bricks (sliced to half depth), The corners would look like the corner of a house.. and the tile bricks would only fill in the straight runs. Much neater finish and the tiles look much more like authentic 'stone-walling' than stick-ons.
@@tidybrickslandscaping I can’t see them lasting too long with heat/cold expansion/contraction working them loose but hey, why am I expecting anything to last these days.
@@andy-maunder regarding expansion I don’t think there would be a problem as it’s just slate and stays the same but you kick a football at it and bits will definitely come off it’s very brittle. You can buy corners but most likely they’ll be broken before they arrive It’s all shit these days worlds gone to pot 👍🏴
Hi Scot hope your good.Very nice but as you said its a pain but you still won.Look for ward to seeing the rest off the job.Are we going to see you have a dance at the end lol.Take care chat soon
😆 love the video buddy have 12sqm of the stone face silver birch textured walling to do like 30mm some of the bits Marshalls real heavy stuff and pricey £188 Sqm or summit 😬🤞
@@tidybrickslandscaping Will let ya know how get av received the material into merchants had a sample looks real quality. Let’s hope it goes smoothly 😬😬🤟 keep the videos coming Scotty enjoy your weekend. 🤙
Glad I seen this video was supposed to be putting it on a wall on this garden I might get them to change their mind for something else now. Garden prity much the same idea as you have done but with grey and a black picture frame. 2 weeks of utter keek weather up in Highlands so progress is slow 🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒😒
thanks for watching Ross hopefully I’ve been a bit of help giving you heads up what the issues can be as for the weather it’s pissing down here in Cardiff all day tomorrow so I’ll be staying in bed 👍🏴
Im using a slate version of these and you literally have to handle each piece like a new born baby else it breaks , soft as cheese , reckon im going be sweeping bits of slate up for the next 10 years … wish used Porcelain😂
Great video but this seems like a terrible product, no better than the cheaper version available on eBay. I am glad I decided against this for my garden! On a side note, thanks for the advice over the phone a while back. My porcelain driveway is now underway!
Yes that stone face cladding isn’t very good actually I wouldn’t use it for my own property for sure and good news about your driveway keep me posted 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping obviously its the product , it lets your work down you shouldnt entertain customers with products that let your work down even if they like it .

The wall does look good but it does have its faults which can be rectified but you shouldn’t have to should we 👍🏴

Thank you! Will do! 👍🏴
Your a legend, keep up the great humour, I'm down in the salt pits, your positive attitude keeps me going 👍
Hi Scott,
That seemed a bastard off a job , we could hear your pain !! You got there in the end , things like that pee me off too 🤪💪👍
Thanks for agreeing Roberto so it’s not just me then that makes me feel a bit better 👍🏴
Hi mate, have you ever had issues using Sika adhesive rather than cement based trowel on adhesive ? I want to do my garden wall but wondered if that grab adhesive has ever failed with rainwater etc ? Thank you
Never had any comes backs yet from over the years so I’d say yeh it’s fine still works 👍🏴
Great, thanks for that
Enjoying the vids. Do you use an angle grinder to cut these? If so what type of blade?
What is the primer you use?
All tiles are pre cut just prime and fix also primer comes with the tiles if bought from Marshall’s 👍🏴
Good job Scott, used this stuff in my fire place, took ages to make there is not to many gaps 👍
You must’ve had a good box glad it worked out for you though 👍🏴
Lovely job very time consuming but satisfying great tips along the way too
Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for watching Paul glad you picked up some tips from the video 👍🏴
Thanks, I will check with local councils.
Great video mate I’ve got as job coming up putting these up I ain’t looking forward to it but watching you do it will help me out 👍🏻
No worries Jamie it’s always good to have heads up before you do something 👍🏴

Thanks Darren glad you enjoyed the video mate and a true review of the products somethings are just really hard work again to do if there are differences in sizes
Glad you liked the tunes too 👍🏴
How deep do you go for the base of the planter? And isit just 2 block high or is there a half underneath ? Thinking of doing this great vid mate
150mm for the footing I could of done 100mm but na more the better don’t want it cracking for the sake of 1 more mix 👍🏴
Concrete level with FFL
Fair play , the dry stack walling cladding looks nice, seen some horrendous work in aberystwyth today after getting my eye in on it. 🙈🏴
There’s plenty of dodgy people out there thanks for watching by the way 👍🏴
Do you need to have a damp proof course ??? Thanks
No it’s fine 👍🏴
Can you install these on a small red brick wall directly or would it be best to render it first?
As long as the wall isn’t painted just got off the bricks but also it has to be flat 👍🏴
Would there be a problem with water getting behind ,and blowing the tiles off?
Not really unless it froze then yeh 👍🏴
Hi, do you need planning permission for putting them at the front of your house on brick wall?
I should think so I saw a property that done the same the other day in Cardiff on my travels 👍🏴
Scott i feel your frustration mate .Dont like the stuff one bit dont want to use it or lay it wouldn't enjoy it as i just dont like it it dont look right it looks what it is fake stonework.That isnt an insult to you or your work which is some of the best around mate .if a customer asked me to do it i would like you have but i agree with you its a pain.

Indian sandstone wall in video looks fantastic, did you film it?

Mitre the corners...
@@Shralps they don’t join up well enough to do that. You just end up with sharp edges
Hehehehe can’t get anymore honest!! Absolutely lovely job it’s really coming on now🤩
Thanks Alex glad you enjoyed the video the rest of the video should be out next week 👍🏴
Feel your pain
Did a massive wall and couldn’t believe the size difference absolutely hated doing it.
Customer loved it but my head not so much
Completely agree with you Luke seems to be a common problem then really 👍🏴
Hi Scott, where did you get the sandstone edges from in your last video? Your right they look far nicer but I’m sure a lot more expensive
They are actually it’s curb edgings I bought from Marshalls very nice piece of stone maybe about £25 each 👍🏴
Can you put them onto a rendered painted wall
No you’ll have to strip,it back to plain cement first as the paint is a barrier that will fail at some point 👍🏴
Mate, could you put links to the actual products you used and sources? Thanks
It’s a Marshall’s product for walling check it out 👍🏴
Hi mate how far does one tube of adhesive go on this type of cladding?
I tub of adhesive did about 8 tiles ish 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thank you mate!
how much would it cost to work 3m×3m 3:56
Totally forgotten the rate sorry 👍🏴
good stuff i'm about to embark on the same journey cheers
Good luck 🤞 very temperamental remember 👍🏴
Great job Scotty boy. How do you finish off the base where the gap is? Cheers Andy
That will most likely be filled with grout next week 👍🏴
Hi Scot hope your good.Very nice but as you said its a pain but you still won.Look for ward to seeing the rest off the job.Are we going to see you have a dance at the end lol.Take care chat soon
Thanks for watching again john I might try a little Dad dance at the end but I most likely will be hopping 😂👍🏴
Hi, do you seal these after?
Not really but I suppose you could I guess 👍🏴
Looks sound, I wonder if it would look better with corner beads it would be easier that’s for sure
I’ve bought corner pieces before for these type of things and they turned up already broken just to bloody delicate 👍🏴
Another nice wall!
I’m not a huge fan I must admit 👍🏴
Hi Scott I feel your pain they do look good but a right pain in the ass to install
They do look good and yes it is a pain in the arse to install 👍🏴
😆 love the video buddy have 12sqm of the stone face silver birch textured walling to do like 30mm some of the bits Marshalls real heavy stuff and pricey £188 Sqm or summit 😬🤞

Haven’t used this stonefaced textured from marshalls before but it does looks quality stuff

i wouldnt worry about gap because no 2 stones are the same in life few drinks it will all look fab
Very good point 👍🏴
Im using a slate version of these and you literally have to handle each piece like a new born baby else it breaks , soft as cheese , reckon im going be sweeping bits of slate up for the next 10 years … wish used Porcelain😂
Definitely don’t let the kids kick a football against you it would make a right mess 👍🏴
And what about the gap at the bottom 🤔
That will be filled with grout when I do the patio 👍🏴
Fab!
Looks okay drove me crazy though 👍🏴
Another great video. I won't mention the rugby, oops, just did! 🤭
👅👍🏴
Just buy the corners. Don’t have a cut edge then.
You can buy the corners but most likely they’ll turn broken 👍🏴

Sorry about that I did have trouble with that video 👍🏴
ball ache is the best to say
Or pain in the ass 👍🏴
U need to learn about this job in the inside and ouside coners u do a 45 angel and all look perfect not sgitty job like there
Not a chance in hell you could do that with these things it’ll just crumble so delicate 👍🏴
Know loads of landscapes you dont like it
It’s not just me then lots of people finding the same issues thanks for watching by the way 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping no not on your own pall
floor tiles look great but that wall does not look good its awful especially the corners looks like something on a school stage set
Not much you can do about the corners you can buy them already built but most likely on delivery they will be broken.
Shit product 👍🏴
