Where do you get your screed rails? We use electrical conduit but it bends far too easy
Many thanks for the video. Qq, what mix did you use for the initial bed?
How is it for blocking weeds
This is for easy as hell loose bricks. The really stuck ones, no go.
Finally, a video about actual tarmacadam! Seems to be a lost art here in the States, everything is asphalt and folks assume you mean asphalt when you mention tarmac. Thanks for posting!
Respect to the workers out of camera shot playing the fiddles, drums and accordion to motivate their colleagues.
Dang good video: appreciate the captions
I recommend real gloves and long sleeves at a minimum. It sucks when it splashes up on your arms. It only takes once.
What ratio is the bedding concrete? Thanks
Why wasn't the cement under the blocks wet or why wasn't the cement under the blocks wetted after the blocks were laid??? Surely when there stepped on or any weight is placed on them they'll just sink into the powdered cement?
Who made this music?
I need to lay 10 bricks in a straight line in grass. I will dig a line to put the bricks into. How deep should I dig and simply placing dry ready mix concrete is enough? Or should I use sand and cement mix to place the bricks onto?
What’s the laying course sand called?
Should have got all that stuff of the top of your container before opening it 👍
Kenapa ga d sabungin ja pembongkaranya biar hasilnya lebih bagus lg
This is helpful. I appreciate your vedios.
Hi. With same rompex product we made drivable area. But white and black stains left in places where we connect buckets. Why is that? And how clean?
i always wondered how they put kurbs in!
❤❤❤❤❤
Tony what was the stuff you were using at the end to fill in joints and is it expensive?
Hi Tony, I have some concrete edging that I want to use to hold in MOT type 1 on a patio I'm DIYing. Patio will be higher than the lawn, so wanted to use the concrete edging soley to contain MOT 1 went I compact it, and so it wont start crumbling away. Edging is 150mm in width. How deep would the concrete base need to be for it to sit in? I ideally I just need the 100mm of it pretuding for the mot sub base of 100mm. Woukd you recommend using a dry mix for it to sit in, then wet for haunching etc? And what mix sand / concrete to use? Thankyou in advance for any advice you could give.
Hey Tony, just wondering whats your dry mix base blend?
Hi there, what was your mix ratio?
Where's the banding then that should be applied around the patch ,not a perfect job after all
Its called a shovel,a spade is what you dig the garden with strewth all mighty,a kerb layer doesn't need a level,
Beautiful video 👍
How do you keep weeds from growing out from the grout areas?
Is the resin binder sprayed on neat or is is diluted in order to make it thin enough to spray.
Get rid of the shit music.
Absolutely brilliant and clear guide to doing this project. Gave me the confidence to give it a go, and delighted with my first 5 metres
This is the best edging video on UA-cam. One question though, you put dry concrete down as the base but it was never wetted, correct? Then wet concrete on top. Wouldn't it be enough to do what I've heard called a "dry pour" where you put the concrete down as a base, add the stones then wet the whole line lightly so that base concrete hardens over time?
You didn’t show us how to repair and re-level the base and using what?
Quality video
Can you lay it on wet concrete
I have some small repairs to make where the pitch had cracked and fallen away. Do you think it would be alright to heat some pitch directly in the pitch can?
Once cured can this withstand pressure washing?

Hi. What colour is the one you used in the video? Thanks
Good job!
...do you think this will work on a 2"+ thick piece..?
Could anyone give me a link to the type of concrete used in this video, I’m in the UK? Thank you
No one is better than me in the world to laying kerb and slab I m fucking really good and I m just 27 years old started working in construction when I was 19
Total waste of time, hasn’t been compacted enough as soon as you start driving on it , it will slowly start to dip again.
This is my work
Aged like fine wine, great job.
Does anyone know if this method would also work on patio tiles?
That road surface is so bad it would have been cheaper to dig it all up!, end up looking like a patchwork quilt!
And in Dallas Texas they just heap up the asphalt, way over the top, and that’s it. It dries to a massive speed bump in the middle of a street. The idiots in Dallas think it’s okay, cause the road workers keep on doing it this way for years, and no one ever corrects the way they do their work. Absolutely pathetic repairs.
The advice here to "push" the sealant with the roller to allow it to soak in and get coverage is outstanding and is exactly what I needed before I do this on my own patio. Thx
Nice job. Do you live in Lancashire area? Just curious! May need your help.
