You don't really have to worry about the backyard being messy. I don't know about English people, but here are a lot of people who don't see themselves as gardeners. I have seen a lot of neat gardens in your videos but actually the one here is on a level you see here a lot, quite some are even worse but still don't feel so bad. So this one's absolutely fine. I really like that you are so diligent in tackling black spot :) The gravel is fine as well. Things don't have to be even to look tidy. Also it really suits these kind of slabs.

Awesome job on the old fish pond. You always do such thorough job. 🎊 The stone’s in between give it a more earthy feel I like it.

Love this! Came out great.the little former pond would look nice filled with gravel with statue or large ornamental pot or decorative stone in the center.

This clients wants a garden to enjoy and relax in, and you have made it ready for them to relax and enjoy, like their own private park.❤

And trimmed the overhanging bushes.

I agree with the others who say that was a true transformation. And while the pointing might have “looked prettier”, I think the gravel grit (?) is much better since it makes the hardscape permeable. The water can clear off the pavers and get down to the aquifer.

I think the yard is lovely. Awesome job as always ❤

Hey Sir Nick. I think that garden came out nicely, yes ?? And the stone around the pool came out wonderful. And with some greenery and flowers, it will look grand !!

That is a deliberately "irregular" garden, with a slant towards a more natural look. I like that your paving cleaning is adding back walking safety and some needed brightening. The grit seems to be well-suited to this yard. Enjoying your determination to get rid of the Black Spot. The area around the old pond is already becoming so clean that it is quite cheery. This became an attractive Renewal, it will look very nice with the pond area planted in flowers.

Loved that you offered an alternative (and cheaper) solution with the grit. I think it looks amazing! 🎉 Amazing work as always! 👍

Where the pond used to be, it would look good if they put some artificial grass in the gap 👍🏻

That's what I call "well grown in" has more romantic flair than a perfectly edged lawn

I must admit I was sceptical at the beginning about grit but actually this is one of my favourite uploads. You’ve totally nailed that. It looks like it’s just been built. That’s real affordable options for totally transforming a tired patio. I’m not usually stunned for words specially four letter ones but bro you nailed it. I think if we set you up with a old patio with edges of slabs sticking vertically up and the rest buried 3 feet in the ground you’d wave the mighty briggs and Stratton over it and bam job done. So relaxed now me young china😎 cheers Nick🤜

I actually like the grit pointing. This need to have everything ‘perfect’ is very wearing. You did a great job on all of it.

Nothing wrong with the garden, it’s shabby chic.

Have you considered getting an exo-brace for pointing jobs? They're made for gardening, but it should work a treat for pointing as well; there's one you strap onto your lower leg, can walk smoothly in, and it's designed to become a seat for you to kneel on, to take the bulk of the stress off your back and knees. They're not expensive, either. I only ask because I know you've spoken of how much pointing jobs hurt, and I'd prefer you to not be in pain~ Wonderful job; the stonework looks immeasurably better! And maybe it might have been a _little bit_ too much suds? But hey, the black spot is GONE. Not your fault with your Yorkstone Nemesis~

It’s quite beautiful 😮😊

Another satisfied customer I’m sure Nick, you were nothing if not determined with that York stone, I wonder if any other guy would have gone that far, I’m sure the lady will be encouraged to pretty that area up, now the stone work is so smart 👏👍

Great job! 👏👍🌷 Above and beyond !!! 🥳🥳🥳👍

Great job Nick. You’re a man that takes pride in his work. Hard to come by these days. Question, what type of broom head do you use when applying the grit? Was that just a standard dust brush or something special for applying the grit? Best to you from the US.

Always amazed by your work ❤❤keep up the fantastic job❤❤

Just goes to show that perseverance pays off. Another great job. Well done.

So many people are way too judgmental these days, Nick. They think that their opinions are the only ones that matter and that THEIR gardens would NEVER be that bad, but I bet they'd be extremely ticked off if anyone didn't like theirs! Too many people have become armchair 'experts' and think they know it all. Well, that's just what they are - know-alls. Just like Mr You Don't Want To Do It Like That, à la Harry Enfield. Btw, has anyone ever told you that you're stubborn? 😂😂

Hi Nick, question please. Do you ever use polymer sand in between stones? It’s a step down from repointing but a step up from sand or gravel.

I was thinking about the houses in the UK, most of which are over 100 years old, correct? Plumbing and electrical added afterwards. This might make for terrible water pressure. The newer homes don’t seem to have that problem, unless I’m generalizing and it’s about location to water source?

What is the soap you are applying ?

do you find yourself using less hypo with a bucket and brush Nick? oh and that grit gravel will turn to dust on the next pressure wash lol

Easiest way to deal with excess soap suds… sprinkle a little fine salt on the suds and they will dissolve away. Salt breaks the bubble surface tension and they pop. I once had a kitchen hand who squirted a heap of normal dishwashing liquid in the commercial dishwasher… we were hip deep in suds like a 90’s foam rave party 😂😂😂 Salt fixed it in no time
