A place to create memories in your backyard
Imagine if you could walk into your backyard and entertain friends or family with a beautiful earth built fire pit and benches. Not only does it look awesome but you’re telling the world that you care about it, by using a natural building method.
How cool is that!
Concrete is an energy intensive material that contributes greatly to greenhouse gas emissions. By building rammed earth, you are cutting your concrete use to the absolute minimum.
You can use on-site earth or purchase it locally and what better way to build small projects that will fit in with your landscape then using what you have on-site.
Rammed earth is a building style that you can use to build small projects like a fire pit or bench and you can even take it a step further and construct entire buildings out of it.
Let me help you with my experience to save time and a whole lot of money so you can have a beautiful finished product.
I’ve made mistakes that cost me a lot of time and money, I don’t want to see you make those same mistakes.
Here’s what I’ll be going over in my Rammed Earth Basics course:
- How to build the proper footers to build the rammed earth fire pit and benches on.
- How to ensure your footers are level and plumb. Plus how to mix and trowel the concrete the right way for rammed earth.
- How to build form work for a beautiful fire pit and benches.
- The correct dirt:sand:concrete ratio to ensure your rammed earth will be strong and last forever.
- How to mix and tamp your earth to get a great finished product.
- How to cap your rammed earth with a concrete/earth mixture to ensure your benches and fire pit last a lifetime.
There is a lot of information about Rammed Earth on the internet. I want to give you a set of crystal clear instructions so that your Rammed Earth projects will dazzle your friends and family.
Building with Rammed Earth does require some physical labor but when you’re sitting down with your loved ones, enjoying a fire on a cool evening, you’ll appreciate all the sweat that went in to it.
I’ve created this DIY video course to help empower you with natural building structures that you’ll love for your life.
