I found Todd’s consultation to be very helpful. I got some questions answered in a way that changed my process steps to creating the business for the better. There’s more to the business side and legal side than meets the eye or that’s mentioned. I found that a lot of people around me that I’ve asked seem to not really want to share that information for whatever reason. There is one personal friend I have that has been very helpful but for the most part not many people share a lot of that information. Todd was able to get me thinking as to how to be better structured, taking the steps, as I go through the process of getting things setup. Also, to some degree, what to expect or ask for with local municipalities in a general sense when doing work. I appreciate your time Todd and as always the helpful videos.

I have always appreciated Todds willingness to share and glad he is able to provide a valuable service. I can say that I when I started a business in a different field, the people in that field were less than helpful and many were downright cut throat giving bad advice so others would fail. Not to say all were that way, made several friends in that industry through youtube, but many of the business owners where I lived just seem to be out for themselves and don't care one bit about giving back. Glad I moved away from there, glad I retired and started a different business that I enjoy and can do part-time for fun and making a little extra cash.

Nice work on the video, Todd. It was a pleasure watching you work on our property and so thankful I didn't do it myself, I would still be on the lower section. Very pleased with the work and your work on this project has not ended. Will be in touch for round 2!

"cutting in a driveway for a guy from Texas".... It wasn't me Todd, but if it was I would hire you in second. I'm still rooted deep in Texas, love your work ethics and your integrity. Seen you come full circle from working alone to having a crew, thankful I found your channel because you have helped me, though I am not in the business, I have saved lots of $$ and got the job done right by following your instructions. Thank you!

Another great video, and great work as usual. This project seems a little different than your usual, not sure if it was a budgeting, or timeline thing, but access and maintenance to this road will always be a challenge, as the owner will soon find out. That switchback will be brutal if he ever needs to get a big truck or trailer up there. If all he's looking for is a once and done to get a camper up there, where there's a will, there's a way. Hopefully he's looking into cutting ditches, putting in culverts, retaining walls, and shoring those banks up somehow, seed and straw aint gonna cut it.
