Agreed. She just got into it, didn't worry about if her technique was 'perfect'. Sometimes you'll find that if you just get to doing the actual work, you'll be finished before you ever had a plan ready. Obviously she had Mark's guiding hand but I agree with you.
I was thinking that this was one of the few episodes I've seen where the homeowner is really getting their hands and knees dirty. I think we can safely say she contributed to the job and it did come out looking great. As for others talking about stones and shoveling, from what I know, the problem is with snowblowers and stones. Anyway, I just wish they would can the music.(I've been told it's not possible, but I can keep wishing).
Cute home and the added path looks nice. The only thing I would have done differently is widen/curve out the path at the driveway. It would then better match to opposite end at the circle.
I’ve always thought of that type of stone as “tumbled rock” and “pea stone” as 1/4 to 1/2 that size. Also usually white to very light gray not the multicolored stone here. It’s a beautiful walkway and I think the stone used here will be easier to walk on than what I’m used to.
@@denisandre7481 i would use crushed gravel if i was going to make my path again. Its very finely ground almost like sand. Downside is that you will have it being tracked in the house
That was actually the question I had. I imagine it won't hold up very well. Paving my gravel driveway was something I sought to do immediately after buying my house and experiencing what a nightmare it was to deal with when it snowed.
@@mj8495 very dangerous, but not from rocks getting in the snowblower. Because I adjusted the snowblower to not go all the way to the ground, there was always a thin layer of snow left. The real danger was when it would start to melt and refreeze leaving this real nasty black ice!
That’s an absolutely beautiful second empire house. What a gem. That guy is full of crap saying the stones are 300 years old. That house was built probably around 1875 or so. But whatever.
I really need something like this along my property line for walking and getting water to the back of my yard too but not sure how to tackle of this. I need help!!! 😫😫😫
"We just moved in." Twenty seconds later - "Something we've noticed in the past year. . . " So, did you just move in or have you been there for a year or longer?

@@jamesmcnaughton5092 oh yeah but nothing lasts forever. I always see broken down barriers weather it's plastic or cloth I'm always picking weeds on my commercial sites

This is a horrible idea people think oh so pretty then a few years go by the stones are over run with weeds and grass. Trimming around it with a string trimmer is near impossible with out breaking a window or getting beat to hell with thrown stones. No lose pebbles of any kind belong in landscaping or walkways near windows
This homeowner seems much more competent and relaxed than the others tend to be. It looks great!

Great Job,and that young Lady was a great helper.

I was skeptical … 👍👀👍but that “Diamond Pattern “ looks good with the house style

Oh definitely. Great idea.
Good idea
Homeowner is gorgeous
That actually looks really good.
Maybe at a trailer park…
Now you need to get Jen out there and replace the lawn with some more drought tolerant grasses.
She’s a keeper, for sure!
Amazing result! And I learned both how to layout a new pathway and I would definitely hire somebody to do all that! 🤣
The main thing is to keep it square off of the house. As long as you do that it'll come out good
Mark,
You make it look so easy. Thanks guy's 👍
@05:07 that look was like " This is some serious work"

do not use peastone if you have to shovel snow off it.
What would you suggest? I live in northern Canada

She went harddddd! Great Job! 🎉
how does this sort of walkway hold up under snow shoveling in the winter?
That was actually the question I had. I imagine it won't hold up very well. Paving my gravel driveway was something I sought to do immediately after buying my house and experiencing what a nightmare it was to deal with when it snowed.
@@elaineisthatyouand dangerous if using a snowblower 😮
@@mj8495 very dangerous, but not from rocks getting in the snowblower. Because I adjusted the snowblower to not go all the way to the ground, there was always a thin layer of snow left. The real danger was when it would start to melt and refreeze leaving this real nasty black ice!
It doesn't. You scoop up stones with the snow ... OR the snow melts and freezes into the stones, leaving you with a sheet of ice until it can thaw.
Really great camera work in this episode
Wow, looks superb and also that house is stunning! Classic
Should've done a bevel or another half-circle at the driveway connection.
Wow, a lot of work.
That was a lot of work
The digging is the most labor intensive part. You don't need a compactor or concrete.
Neeru could host her own show.
Kevin better watch out. They might find another host from a segment😂
I am willing to bet Rogah wouldn't care for the shape of that lawn.

Who said the stones came with the house when it was built? That stone was ship ballast from old sailing ships
Did she invent the Neeru Jacket from the sixties?
Beautiful! Great job! 👌👍
Looks really good.. nice walkway too

what did he put underneath the pavers ?
I used 1/4 minus. Much easier to walk on then the round stones
Looks great!
It Looks nice
The things I have learned from you guys,thanks ❤
So cool!
Now THAT is a real woman putting in work. So many times women in this videos stand around holding tools.
Lol if you think they did any work whatsoever. Biggest clue is lack of gloves.
@@mcpr5971 no sweat, either.
I don't believe they dug that out in a day alone, he was out of breath in a couple strokes of the pick. Looks great though.
haha this is TV land! there are a handful of strong young folks off camera who step in to do a lot of the heavy work!
The new path doesn't match the existing. It should flare out at both ends, like the circular in original....
Peastone makes horrible walkways. It never packs, it rolls out from underfoot, and you can't roll anything across it.
Hard to shovel snow off it too.
Makes me miss Roger.
this lawn is screeming for water
I assume she is letting it die on purpose. People do that.
FIX THE GRASS WOW FUNKY......
I'm more of a lentil stone walkway guy
Groan.
More of a bean guy myself
@@saniaamirbaaz8850 loser 😂
The new blue stones are too big
Hey, they skipped hoe to do the string thing.
should be fun edging in the summer. pea gravel breaking windows and dinging cars.
"We just moved in." Twenty seconds later - "Something we've noticed in the past year. . . " So, did you just move in or have you been there for a year or longer?
Just moved in could mean within about a year. 1 year isn't long to live in a house.
Holly crap, do you really care ???
@@jamesmcnaughton5092 Yes. Details matter. For example, there's difference between the words HOLLY and HOLY.
@@matchstickdesignco how do you know that I wasn't referring to a Holly tree?🤣
@@jamesmcnaughton5092 Nice save! 😂
i would have turned the old drive way into green space and just widened the original path so the car can just drive up to the main steps
Why not build a ramp too and you can simply drive the car into the living room? 😂
@@TheJimmyBuffalo Ha ha ha ha.
I’d fall flat on my face trying to walk on that uneven surface. That or break my ankle or both. Especially at night
That’s because you’re an alcoholic
Good
I'd be jumping on those diamond pavers 😊
Do you suffer from MS or something? Why can't you walk ?
Big thanks to the off-camera crew of Mexicans who actually did all this and have never been acknowledged in any ToH episode.
Comspiracy theory guy, go away and stay where you go
100% I saw this on property brothers the other day too. Those clones did a few flooring planks then come in the cheap labor to finish the job properly

Looks good till the weeds come through. Why would you want a walkway with high maintenance
Didn't you see the weed barrier ?
@@jamesmcnaughton5092 oh yeah but nothing lasts forever. I always see broken down barriers weather it's plastic or cloth I'm always picking weeds on my commercial sites
Name 10 types of walkways.
Footpaths, Zebra Crossing, side walks, Homeless paths, Vendor walks, Street performer paths... I can think of 6 only
@@MK-xn6qx what's a homeless path?
Backwards, sideways, moonwalking, crab walk, grape vine, Beatles-style street crossings, old man shuffle, technohouse shuffle, Kingston skanking, and a brisk stroll

Use a torch to kill the weeds growing up in stones.
