    Great video as always. They keep me motivated to work ony own 1,100 sqft open grade patio. I was wondering if you would recommend I use easy joint or poly sand? My joints can handle either option. Im a Masshole too so I gotta think about freeze thaw cycles, water draining etc. Easy Joint sounds better because the water drains down into the open grade and then deeper down into the earth. But IDK if its as good as they say or what not because it seems like all the landscaping stores down here in southern MA carry mostly poly sand. Im alright with paying the extra for easy joint if its going to be less maintenance and better over all. Anyways thanks for the great videos, please keep um coming, cheers!

    So is 6 inches of gravel and 1 inch of paver sand at Home Depot going to work i planned on doing 2 inches compact and then landscape fabric and then the remaining 4 inches and then sand but I think I heard you do 3/4 and 3/8 gravel instead but I can’t find any near me and sand is very cheap. Would be 17x15 rectangle and have grill fire pit and outdoor furniture

    I bought one for my wife because the last thing I want her to have to do is ask a stranger for a jump start…not in today’s world! I ultimately tested it in the winter of 2022-23. Remember when we had those days it got down to-40 degrees?!? Well my tractor dealer was coming to pick up my tractor for new tires and a cutting edge on my loader bucket. I went out to start it before the truck got there and NO WAY! COKD DEAD! I hooked up the gooloo and BOOM! Fired right up!!!😎😁 I ordered two more! A 4000 for my truck and a 2000 for my daughter’s car…because her husband is a putts and doesn’t invest in such things for his wife’s security and safety, cause corn hole bags are more valuable. So…yea…love the gooloo times THREE! 😁👊🏻

    Is the second round of compacting required for the 3/4” rock for a residential patio? I thought I heard you say in another video that you only compact the first inch or two.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper 2 дні тому

      With open grade base, that is a debatable topic. Up to 6 inches of stone for a foot traffic application doesn't necessarliy have to be compacted depending on who you talk to in this industry. I Laid many walkways and patios without compacting the 3/4 stone (only 6 inches or less) and those projects are still fine to this day. But It also does nothing but help when you do compact the top layer. So I have leaned more towards compacting the top layer every time now just to be safe.

It'll probably take us a month bc I am in a wheelchair and cant move like I used to but we're gonna get it done. She's a beast. I know she can do it. Its me Im worried about lol. Found a Techo-Block distributor near here already and I already know we can get the 3/4 clean base stone. Gonna make some calls tomorrow to see if I can find the 1/4-3/8 clean chip stone around here bc I dont want to use sand if I dont have to. Wish us luck! Thanks for all the great lessons!

    Awesome video and a great job. Just one question, This is one of the few videos where I see that you poured the aggregate stones first before laying down the landscape fabric but then you poured the same stone on top of the fabric. I thought it was normal to lay the fabric down first then add the stones. Is there a wrong way or a right way to do it?

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper 2 дні тому

      Not sure what limetsone screenings are. Does that mean there are still fines and dust? if so, I don't recommend that. I would say try to find a 3/8" pea stone if you cant get 3/8" clean crushed limestone like the other comment has mentioned. Worst case scenario, lay a non woven cloth fabric over the 3/4 stone base and use sand on top of that.
