You guys do the best work on YouTube. If you were in NY, I’d hire you in a second. Great work as always.
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.
Awesome work bro, love the tutorials , you’re very informative
Did you forgot put some lights between the steps broo!?
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
Nicely explained…Merry Christmas!
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.
This was a great series of videos from this job. Very informative. Thanks a lot for sharing
'U guys know the deal to the next one' ✌
