Rewatched! This is a all time classic for me! This is when i began my obsession with driveway work, skid steer usage!

You do very good work , and have a great kid there ! The best kind of team a man can have .

Great video! You and your son make a good team and work very hard. Your video production seems to be improving as well. After every valley there is a hill and after every hill there is a valley; some are steeper than others. That was random but I felt I should say it lol. Wish you the best!

Looks good from Michigan. Good video.

Great video buddy! Yeah that never happens when they have a good budget but want less work done. It’s almost more difficult to do lol. Driveway looked awesome! 👊🏼

Nice job. Love the looks of that stone.

Not doing “Tail-Gating” is a very wise move, trucks cost too much money, and as you explained some people have lost their lives doing it! That’s a first-rate job, Very well done!

Professional job well done.

Nice job, I like the blue stone, we have some here in southern maine. We also do both, tailgate out a load or spread with a machine, and it depends what's around us, wires, trees, etc.. and you'd right, if it's your equipment, then do what you want, that driveway, I'd done what you did,, dump and spread it

Cool, well done Steve!

I think it looks pretty good. Nice work. Make it look easy.

You and your son do nice work Steve. You won't have trouble getting work if you relocate. 👍👍

Keep up the good work

Looks good.

Ever thought about investing in a SR3 from ABI? you could rip rocks out then turn around and grade without ever changing Implements unless you really wanted to. Great Video Regardless of what you used. Takes a lot of Skill to accomplish this type of grading

Great job sometimes it is very difficult to to do a job as the customer wants

Enjoyed the video!

It will get covered in pine needles but it's your clients drive and you're giving them what they want. Nice job guys.

That gray/black gravel is a premium down here in TX. White limestone is the cheap go-to here. I love the look of the black though.

Just Saying 🤪Driveway came out nice. Good Job 😀

I think he’s good at his job. It looks like he’s doing the wrong thing, but everything comes out perfect.

Steve it sounds as if the customers neighbor might be a little bit jealous of her driveway looking good. We have a lot of that down here in Bama. Neighbor really likes it but too dang tight to spend a little bit of money to improve his place. LoL I've had that same thing happen to me and then next week he called me and hey come give me a price on fixing my driveway because my wife seen it and is on my ass now about our driveway. LoL. Great video man! I'm still thinking of using your tailgate side swing hinges on my tailgate. I wish you were closer and I would hire you to come help me. I mean I can weld but I really like your pattern. Thanks

Hard to find people that still care about their reputation. Good job.

Everyone has there own way of doing thing. You do you and someone else has a way that works for them well good. You have a nice truck. I used to wash my truck every day and sweep it out every day. While waiting to get loaded and down time I broke out the armor all. It drove me nuts to have a dirty truck. You believe in safety first as it should be

You did what she wanted. She doesn't do much to the house either, but it's a lot better. Good job.

About the tailgating... As a person looking to start out in dirt work business, I appreciate your explanation as to why you shouldn't tailgate. Asset protection and safety are paramount I believe.

Quick Question, STEVE - PLEASE? You know, the BIG GUY, "DIRT BOSS" brought you to many of us and he's been quiet for a while. IF you know, is HE & FAMILY are doing well. I mean, I hope he has his handsome face buried in some Chicken PARM so anything you can share is a THANK YOU! Take care, BUDDY!

I run a skid steer, yet I would never turn down gate spreading. Here in WA I've only seen one person fuck up gate spreading and it must have been on purpose. The cats meow is the reverse back spread. You have good machine skills. No reason to put your nose up at something that aint hard.

If I was the homeowner I would have chosen a 3/4 white stone gravel if she wanted to match up with what she has closer to the house. The classic "Cape Cod" look would be a far closer look like your own home driveway and I don't specifically what stone you have in your driveway that is available in the Northeast, but I really like your own driveway stone which has a lot of white and tan colors..

I wondered if you might want to look 👀at a riding construction roller to pack down that stone like those soft or hole to compact it 🤔

Ya should of told the neighbor if he was paying for it them he could comment...LOL. Good job!!

The end conversation was the best😂 Just sayin'

guys, job turned out great...just sayin, thumbs up !!

Looks great. Why not do the tail gate spreading ?

In a hard packed sandy area driveway, what would you suggest going over it with? Crusher run and then maybe a little gravel at the parking spot for cleaner feet going inside the house?

Just booked a wheeled skid steer for my driveway... Is that a big mistake? Should I always use tracks?

Great job! Just saying...!

Great job Steve and Bryson! Why is dense grade so expensive around here?, the guys in upstate NY are only paying like $10 a ton...

you should get a big ass roller to pull behind the skid steer

Always a nosey neighbor even in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe I missed it, but what’s the name and size of that material you used on the driveway? Also what brand of tilt tach are you using and how has it held up?

"OH, I wouldn't even do it"! What does that mean? You installed a new (3in) base not just create a new spot for pine needles! We do the best we can with the recourses we have available in the best interest of the task + I think it all came out GREAT! "BOSTA"!

I do not use fabric on my driveway jobs interested in your reasons for not using it. My own driveway is .6 mile long, no fabric 3 years later looks great even parts that go through a swamp. Base was 4 +/- inch then 2 +/- inch then 3/4 B gravel. I find fabric does not stop weeds and a pain to work with and when pieces poke through years later.

man alive, that is some expensive stone where you are from. That's 18$ CAD delivered within 20 miles where I am.

If you're hitting wires, you aren't focused on what you're doing. Nuff said

how many tons of rock was this in total ?

#Dirtbrutesteve it still came out NICE.........just saying😂😂😂 Phuckin witcha👍 I wish we had that gravel here in Michigan. It's REALLY a good looking gravel. Also to the negative Nancy neighbor, opinions vary and yours doesn't matter. I wish my pops was still around. So much I wanted to do with him and say to him. Ya got good sons MAN. Raising them RIGHT. That's hard to find nowadays👍👍 God bless and stay SAFE 🦅🇺🇸🦅

Wish I had her budget. My driveway needs the same treatment. Pine needles and all.

Wanted it to pook rustic

Did he say the price?

Drop a load, he says

Your comment at 19:45 is the reason you forward spread your stone from the pile. Then your tracks are always on stone. Can't believe you didn't roll a base layer. Even if the customer doesn't want it, it's your responsibility to educate them on the whole process and why you need to do certain things. If you can't convince customers what needs to be done properly then walk away and let someone else be a hack.

What stopped you from scooping all the rocks and getting rid of em for her if she mentioned it? Widen her drive n do your own edges ... more stone more removal ... eat up that budget n buy her a back pack blower to maintain it! Lmao ... kudos nice job ... people dont really know what they want!

You have any rock that looks like dirt

I think you did an awesome job. Just saying! Lol.

i believe the best way is to dig out enough dirt to place used tires down, but also cut the sidewalls on each side of the tire out then dump the gravel down, the tirers will keep all the gravel in place, use cement blocks as borders all around. you will never ever get any pot holes and will last forever or until you dig up the gravel and tires.. it is so strong as well that you could driver an 18 wheeler over it with no problesm...just my 2 cents.. your job looks great thought...you will never get any rain water build up because the water will seep through with no problem as well..

Why everyone so slow? My boss has me put our tl8 on rabbit with the idle turned all the way up, I can do a stucco grade and final grade within an hour easy if the site clean isn’t too bad

just say you dont know how to tailgate the rocks ..its not easy. you have to have some serious skill to do that

Wow there are a lot of negative viewers that know-it-all.

Prius drivers...just saying

Your OCD is in overdrive but I get what she wants. Some ppl just miss the sticks.

I don’t know if I like it, just sayin, if she wanted country she should have used natural looking gravel, not black asphalt. But I’m no expert, just sayin (smirking) ☺️

12 tons on that truck, not safe at all, and i bet not legal at all.

Like they say, a fool is born every minute. I have never been a student to stupidty. I am a student of what needs to happen, and asphalt guys would be laying in what's needed. All that vegetation within 15 feet of the driving would have been dugged out for various icy n debris falls and failures from heavy snow and ice. The stupid gene of it looks cute don't run in my veins. What's safe and easily maintained does. Gravel don't fall in that catagory.

eh

Big Tip. Watch Andrew Camarata repair roads and driveways before you do another.

Not worth a shit. Need to dig down, remove that soupy crap, play down geotech, they compact 3/4 down limestone in 2" lifts. Waste of time.

That driveway will wash out in a year or two, poorly engineered. Looks good cosmetically, but it won't hold up!

Just strange that you give a speech about safety for yourself and your equipment yet you operate the heavy equipment, aimed right at other workers, while carelessly only being a few feet away them. Not cool.

your dangerous. I hope you don't injure someone seriosly.
