Man an auto-tamper would have been a godsend for that process when we did our patio. I won't pretend that this kind of work is fun.
The sandy soil here is so unstable that several inches of excavation filled with crusher fines and sand and then with extremely heavy flagstone cut and leveled is the best way to do it. Prior owners tried to grout flagstone together with concrete for our front walkway, and the predictable result was a sinkhole buggered it up and left a water meter poking out of the ground in the midst of the walkway. Quite a hazard–lucky we have not been sued for someone busting their ass on it. We picked this as a battle for next year.

Nicely done.

Massive-hole-in-the-wall-time!
Done a few of those on my time, but never in brick. Should be fun, I’m a little jealous.
@UnTucked , drop whatever you’re doing and get down to G’port in your 888’s. That kind of work will give you a year’s worth of office fades in one hour [emoji6]
