  1. Wish I could find a Maryland hardscaper as meticulous as you. Love the videos but I have two questions. Why geogrid at all(not to mention every course) on the steps? Thought that was only needed on taller walls or more heavily loaded walls. Also why did you alternate the blocks along each course? Just picking your brain as you clearly know what you’re doing.

  2. Time will tell but I think you would have been better off pouring a concrete footer for the steps to sit on. Once the ground freezes the steps will rise and lift the veneer and siding. House foundation being below frost level will keep the house from moving but not the steps in the current setup

  3. Looking awesome boys!! Yeah I like the contrast between the two colors. Also the blue mess granite you guys used as your drip cap would’ve been a nice touch as well but there would’ve been a little bit of a cost difference I’m sure.

  4. 'U guys know the deal to the next one' ✌
    Christmas special video + all explanation, no questions. Perfect. Thank you for u'r work.
