How to install a Flagstone Patio. Back to my Roots 

Man. Thank you so much for making this video. I’m 36. Stay at home wife trying to tackle projects at our first home. I have cried so many times trying to work on our patio fire pit area. I appreciate your honesty when showing us how to remove the stone over and over and use the hand tamper until it’s set. I’m the kind of person who needs to see as much as possible and know what problems could come up. Thank you so much. I wish I could email you the massive while I’ve dug out around my fire pit. It’s on a slope and I want to keep it that way for drainage. I live in tennessee so we have thick red clay. I wanted to make a seating wall on one side, but that may prove to be too difficult for me. It’s scary trying new things, but your video is a great help! Thank you.

Looks beautiful, great work!

Wow!!! So gorgeous!! You do great work ,!!

What I love about you brother is you are 100% real. This is life and doing what we all need to do. More than that, it is using some pretty amazing skills to help others… awesome job. I am completely hooked’ on your fishing videos but more so on the quality man and family you all are. This is why you are so widely admired! 👍😉🇺🇸🙏🏻

"thumbs are strong", lol!!!! As a parent, I hear that loud and clear... kudos on a job well done from an ex Floridian, now out in the woods of Maine.

I am soloing this same project right now using the existing stones of varying thickness. It's so tough on the back and knees. It takes a lot of brainwork and spatial organization to preserve the large slabs and minimize tiny pieces and acute triangles.

FANTASTIC JOB. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS. AWESOME PLACE.

Awesome presentation 👏 man....props!! and it came out cherry

It turned out badazz brother!!!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼 So you’re actually much more than a sport fisherman who loves lobster!!!!🤙🏼

Just had our above ground pool remove and now we are gonna try putting a flagstone patio in its place. Thanks for the inspiration.

That’s some artistry

Hell yeah brother 💪👊 from fishin to stone masonin good job

Good job

Skills brother...great tangent...I would definitely watch a restoration/ outdoors channel

Real nice job bro. You definitely know what you're doing. I'd hire you but in Canada hahah. Cheers

Overall great quality video. One comment. The polymeric sand used is rated for up to 1" gap. I would look at garden suppliers that carry higher quality sand that are rated for up to 4, because some of those gaps look at least 2" wide.

Great work! Idk if I would use Poly sand tho, had a couple of bad experiences with it, went to using mortar only on flagstone and use the poly on pavers. Again tho, great job

Ellie looks like she's about as excited as getting a root canal!! LOL!!!

Thanks!

you should try one of the handheld electric suction cup to lift the stone. Best purchase ever.

Hi Steve Love your channel, I'm building a Flagstone Patio at my home in Ft Worth and I know most of the stone was existing but curious what type of stone was used for this patio, beautiful colors. Also do you have a favorite Stone when you used to build them. Thanks Chuck

When you mentioned, you wouldn’t do the cement border around the patio if you were up North. What would you do differently then? If you were up north for the cement curve border

When can you come to Virginia and help me get a patio like that? That’s my dream patio!!!

That was some great work. Can you tell me what you would do differently for a flagstone patio for michigan winter?

That’s back breaking work right there. Did this myself for 20x yrs . And now paying for it . Just had my 3rd back surgery over 20 screws and multiple titanium rods to keep me upright now🙈 .But that was one nice job you done there buddy do you not hook up any water suppression to the stihl daw to keep dust down ? Great video as always 👍🏻

Looks very nice! Would that stone have to be sealed?

Thank you for the video,first and foremost.I was curious,what do you charge the customer for your time and effoert,etc?Thanks in advance.

How much would it cost to put a gutter on the house... Good gosh. Nice work Vander Baan!

Im in Illinois would you use pollysand for flagstone?

Can you use the poly sand on a concrete slab for the joints with flagstone or vest to mortar them in on the concrete slab?

I don’t think from the video people can appreciate how long that takes. How many hours did you have into that?

Hey Steve, wanna do my patio?! Haha 😂

SUPP BRO \m/
