Has anyone ever done that type of work on their own or hired someone else? What was your experience like?
Hard scapping is something that seems like it should be easy but it’s a lot of physical work to make sure the area under the stone is prepped correctly.
It’s usually pretty obvious when a do it yourselfer does hardscapping because it usually looks like ****, either the day they’re done or within a few years when everything settles.
That’s not to say that you can’t do it yourself, just realize what you’d be getting yourself into before taking it on.
I do a lot of work on my house myself, i hire people to do hardscapping
