Unreinforced concrete will crack and settle as well - especially that weak mix. A good compacted base is key. As mentioned, the concrete was to ease the leveling of the stones as it is liquid until it sets.

Low voltage comm line. Probably fiber optic running through. They would never dig that up, just pull the bad cable through the conduit from the street.

You dont need to put down the caution tape, no one will ever dig up this crummy tile. If anything, put a warning sign in the street that you wont be able to sleep because of the endless sirens as heard 6:00 .

@@davec.3198 I was pricing it out recently and it's not that bad, but it is expensive. Homeguide says a 10'x10' patio with bluestone, installed is around $2500. Materials are probably around $1k. Home Depot has pallets near me for about $600 (that's for 48 sq/ft, so double that roughly for the 10'x10'). It sounds like bluestone varies in quality quite a bit though, and I'm not sure how nice the stuff in the video is.
