So of vourse the very next day I see a video where you use a tilt grading bucket with the retaining wall. (I’m not very good at navigating KZfaq yet).

Man I know it! If I washes out... I'll try again. lol

Basically yes 😂

Given the type of soil (clay) in that area it erodes very slowly. It will wash down the edges and eventually to lower areas downstream

@@DigginLife21 I just wanted to ask as I have done a few boat launch roads that had to go through hills and was high on both sides of the road ( 3:1 slopes ) and I will admit, despite putting in ditches and running french drains in the hills themselves, we still had issues with wash out due to the shear volume of water coming down those hills when we would get a few solid days of rain. It didn’t help that the roads themselves had a 80 foot drop from the top of the roads to the bottom. I love your content and often reference your jobs to see what I could be doing differently on my sites. Thank you again for your reply Todd!

@@aarongaal8168 oh yeah if it’s that much of a drop that’s a lot of real estate to carry a lot of water. That would be tough to manage for any experience level

@@aarongaal8168 you can email pictures to me and I can advise you better. tkindy.slm@gmail.com

@@DigginLife21 that particular job was done two years ago - I only referenced it due to the complications I ran into doing it and then trying to maintain it since. I didn’t have the best equipment on that job either, had to dig through the hills ( roughly 500 triaxle loads hauled out ) with a wheel skidsteer and a 60 hp John Deere tractor. If I recall correctly, it took me about 4 months of 6 day/week work weeks to do the job. Lol. Definitely tested the limits of what wheeled machines could accomplish. Regardless, your video series of doing that long driveway always reminds me of that job and it’s the reason I first commented about the erosion and water control on your side slopes. It was in no way any knock on the job you did ( which was awesome ), it was just to first, actually contact you - something that’s been on my list for quite some time, and more importantly, to ask you how you engineered your side slopes and ditches to accommodate the flow of water ( which I am grateful for your reply ). I’m a sole proprietor myself and have to find the work, estimate, bid and perform the work myself ( admittedly I often hire a trusted friend to help me meet deadlines on larger jobs or sub out certain aspects of some jobs ). I apologize for rambling on, I just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put in helping other small contractors like myself, and you definitely give me something to aspire to. One day I plan on owning a new piece of equipment. I hope your old excavator finds a good home and is still owning it’s keep years from now. Best regards from Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦!
