    We have an older home and the paver walkway has settled/shifted and there is about a .5" gap between where the walkway ends and the concrete steps that lead to our front door. Should we be filling this gap with something? The whole walkway needs to be redone but it's not in the budget, Just want...
  2. Concrete, Stone & Masonry
    Hi guys! First time home owner here recently purchased a 1993 home where the home inspection came back amazing. It was raining lightly the day of inspection. Fast forward and we had a pretty good size rain that left my walkway right outside my front door looking like the picture below. I was...

    Hello! I enjoy DIY projects, but have gotten in a little over my head! I am installing a 30 ft. paver walkway leading up to my front porch. My house is on a slight slope, so to level the walkway, the pavers on the lowest end would be 5 1/4" above the surrounding ground. What would you do? I...

    Hello, I am thinking about replacing my concrete walkway, and maybe my steps, but I am not sure if the steps are connected/part of my patio. It appears to be a single piece of concrete, but that may be just the stucco that was completed when the steps were poured. Any suggestions...

    So I have been working on this paver walkway nonstop for the past 2 days. I ran out of time last night (4 hour rental + ran out of bricks) and have not been able to put the finishing touches on it. I still have about 10 bricks left to cut before I can sand the joints. After this I need to...

    Hi all, I'm trying to cut patio stones (the kind that is mostly formed concrete) to fit a walkway. I have so far used a chisel and hammer to to cut the stones. I am successful when I cut the stones straight, but I've had no luck cutting along a diagonal line- the stone crumbles into odd...

    I installed a French Drain along my entire back of the house (no drain tile below retaining wall). I wanted to put the flagstone pavers back where they came from, but since I can't put crushed gravel over the french drain, I am not sure how to make them level and solid. I have other places i...
