Chris, you make someone wanna move to NC, just to get you to do some work for them, my grandchildren and I could watch your for days. Thank You 😊!

I love it when a bad situation is turned into a job well done with a lot of character and beauty. A work of art.

That turned out real nice nice property. 👍👍😀🇨🇦

Thanks for explaining why the layout is the way it is. Last video I was wondering why the house wasn't just flipped and now I know. Great solution to a tricky site.

Pretty small garage doors! As always a good job well done!

You have a beautiful home and property, which you deserve with all your hard work. Love to watch you. ❤️🙏

Chris, I love your work,as well as your work ethics. I live in western S.C. and wish that I could afford your services. Erosion is a huge problem here, and your expertise would be appreciated here. I'm a disabled Merchant Marine Captain and could never afford you, but as a former farm kid, I can really see your skill, and detail work. Thank you Chris.

Your an absolute gem on the excavator but i think you and that skidsteer are a match made in heaven. Second to none . As always top class work . 👏

Answered my question about the landscaping. Nice quick job on the gravel and the roller means your done. Enjoyed. On to the next project.

Looks 100% better then before will drain better also again nice job Chris 😎👍👍

Very good job your finished product says it all.

Extraordinarily good work on that stone... looks great!

Beautiful home !! And as always you did a great job !!

looks nice where the house is situated and now the new driveaway there, wow, good stuff right there.

You Definitely gave him a good productive few days with the equipment 👍.

That little job turned out nice !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great evening Man ... And, On too the Next !!

Great job as usual Chris that driveway looks great. Love the view from the camera on the bucket

Turned out nice. Great idea with the berm. Thats gonna pay off in the long run.

Beautiful home and future memories! Great job 👏

Looks great Chris 👍👍

in previous posts there have been discussions along the lines of "why do I spend HOURS watching these when I have no knowledge of the profession?" For me, it is the amazement of watching a skilled professional doing amazing work. It's like every machine is an extension of his body that he moves nimbly and gracefully. It is reassuring to know there are still professionals who care deeply about doing things the right way and going the extra mile to make sure the job is done the way it should be. Chris is affable and I enjoy his thinking out loud monologues. I'm never sure whether he is really explaining to us what he is doing or just talking it through to himself and using the video audio as an excuse for verbalizing his thoughts. It is charming. Based on his interactions with others (which are often hilarious) I see him as a nice man with a quick wit, which makes it all work as a great way to pass my time. I also enjoy watching for the flashes of his plumber's crack when he's getting in and out of his seat. (Just checking to see if anyone is reading this far.) I enjoy watching how to do things that I have no experience doing. I would not want to live with him. I bet he is constantly rearranging the furniture around his house and probably has sophisticated machinery that does the moving. You are great Chris!

man that burm turned out fantastic looks great and i bet it works great

You guys have such nice soil to work with. I'm jealous. I'm so use to digging in gumbo crap i wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Chris you have done a wonderful job on that house lot and the drive way will look better when it is Finnished the owners won't be able to see any puddles when you have finished laying all the stones

You made a silk purse out of a sows ear, but I would hate to have my dream home on the side of a hill. Open up the front door then take a look outside, and tell us what you see. A hill! The backyard is almost as bad as the front.

Wonderful Job!!

Chris I swear you are so good with that bucket I bet you could spread icing on a cake. That could be your next challenge??? Driveway smooth as glass. Hello from Texas.

As per usual, a good looking result for every set of circumstances......Looks really good......

Another great job and it does look like a mirror of your house.

You would think they would at least want some sort of fabric put down first....

Actually looks good the way it is all set out, having the driveway in front of the house does not look out of place. Safe travels bro

Planning is the most important piece and it’s obvious you’re overqualified for dealing with anything.

You do great work and top notch excavator operator....but I LOVE your customer's house.

Another Master piece...love that house...

Nicely done, Chris. Where were you and this video 23 years ago when I had to use one on my property! 🤣

That driveway looks a lot better than I anticipated. I knew you would do good work, that was no question, but you can only do so much sometimes. That’s still the case here, but I can see there being some great flower beds/gardens. I worry about the drainage Andre the front porch a bit as I couldn’t see it and often somewhere like that is an area contractors take shortcuts and it may be pretty rough or sloping the wrong way. Just being thorough. I have built too many buildings to not have seen that happen. If you, Chris, did the work up against the foundation, then no worries!! Haha. I would let that gravel pack in nice and hard. Determine if that enough driveway, maybe have RV parking beside the garage?? Anything is possible with retaining walls,,,, haha. Then pave everything that Chris covered today. I live in the mountains off of a “oiled” road and I have paved my full driveway from that road to my garages and shop!! Nice to clear in the winter. I have a gas powered 36” rotary broom to keep the asphalt clean (I am thorough) and a notable speed bump about 30 feet in past the gate. If you come almost to a stop, your tires open up when rolling slower and shed a lot of stones. My buddies hated that until they knew why and many of them have done similar things. Texas gates (cattle guards) work really well also. Not so great when one shows up with one of their Ferraris or Lamborghinis. I don’t have anything like that. I have a Bronco Badlands!! Heh heh. I do have a 67 Chevelle that is exactly as it was from the showroom except for radial tires and only has just over 40,000 miles. I’m the second owner. That’s my “Ferrari “!! On to the next job good sir!! What a huge improvement you did here!

Looks great Chris, thanks for sharing!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Your professional every job you do is top notch. This job is top notch the grading and driveway look awesome. ❤👍🇨🇦

Beautiful work as always nice driveway.

All around really nice job 👍👍👍👍

You always do such a good job Chris. Your region is lucky to have you working there. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰

Did they French drain on the garage side of the house too? That burm is going to help a lot, but if they get a toad strangler that driveway and garage could be underwater.

Looks like you have your touch back with the track loader after working with DP and Wade.

Nice clean work, well done.

I would like to have a skid steer like that for deer hunting it and a battery power reciprocating saw would be a big help.

Looks good as always . On to the next one

Looking good Chris 👏👏👏🍺👍🇬🇧

Chris, that's a nice house but it sure has strange positioning on the property.

Loved seeing the horse in the background, he nods his head a few times in approval of your excellent work, as did I. I have seen homes built like this many times, usually, it's to add a basement structure out of the hillside and the home is on top of the hill. In this case, it was a bit farther down the slope a bit. Thanks for another soothing evening and look forward to seeing the pond work as well. Note: I would have designed the garage to be on the OTHER side of the house, so you drive off the street and straight to the garage, that way no need to drive in front of the house. Instead could have put a very nice walkway from the driveway to the front steps.

Looks great as always!

Looks great Chris 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲

Excellent work as always sir!

Great looking job

If he had the money I think it would have been nice to keep cutting in front of the house, pushing the Drive out farther, giving me a front lawn, and use the dirt in back to bring grade up!!!!

A Dozer and enough stones. Then is the driveway building your speciality. And that not technical help instruments. The symmetrical and plain that all you make with your eyes and great know. A very good video, where is to see how you working and the great house, thanks.

Clever bastard ! ( It means a compliant here in*UK* sometimes Haha ) Really like this bloke!!! Clever as fook !!! Cheers Fella

Looks excellent

man what a beautiful place and your awesome work is just the icing on the cake.

Top 10.... I'm speechless!

Another beautiful job!!

Yes sir

Beautiful work, Chris!

Now that's how you handle a water problem. Money very wisely spent right there. Boy if you don't it will destroy a home and land fast. Chris can get the water away from the house or he can dig you a nice hole to put it in. Either way hd is the man for the job. Nice work Chris as always oh great one of all things dirt and equipment.

That came out rather darned nice!

Very good job

I really like ur videos u are one hell of a operator. Might wanna check the bottom rollers on ur skid steer sounds like u got one going down

Would have been a perfect place for a basement.

Very nice!

Look so great Chris

I want a little roller like yours so bad. Been thinking about getting one for the skid steer, but not sure I'd like it, afraid it might be too small. Looks great man.

...lookin' good, nice job, have a great day and keep well...

I'm still learning and picking up tips and tricks from you. I would like to one day be able to spread material as well as you do. What takes you an hour or so would take me a half of a day, but then again, I don't do this for a living.

25ft tall basement would be perfect, drop the garages down there, plenty of height for vehicle hoists, lol!

Nice job as always!!

It wasn't that long ago that crusher run was $10 a ton, look at it now?!?!? And it doesn't go near as far as I'd like it to since we have a 1.1 mile driveway... Nice work Mr LD18!!!

Wow that's nice turned out great. Hey I just ordered one of your Orange t shirts 👌

That a look great . Nice

Looks great.

Roller makes it Nice ah Nice! 💪🏼

Amazing watching run the skid steer know what you are doing each time.

Looks great 👍🏻🇺🇸

Awesome job Chris

Beautiful house, like your house.

Looks good

That os one heck of a versatile piece of equipment! Obviously in the hands of an expert!

Nice job as always Can you show videos of current animal shelter and the minnow pond please.

Job well done.

Awesome work

Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Hi all from 🇬🇧

Hey Chris, would it have worth putting in a drainage channel in front of the garage entrances in case of potential flooding, or would that never happen with the stone?

Very Nice Chris !!

Home, sweet home! ❤️ Nice done!

Without any rain gutters and downspouts visible... a French drain to the downhill side of that garage might have been prudent. I'm sure Chris sloped the driveway properly....but that's plenty of roof runoff in heavy rainstorms hitting that gravel. Maybe gutters are on the plans? 🤔 Cheapest fix... a gutter across the garage front. jmo 😉

Good video ❤️

Great job as always. I'm surprised anyone can afford getting work done. We're getting killed on materials in the UK

Nice work looking good😃

Looks a treat. 🇬🇧👍

Why didn’t the change the hand of the house? Would have been better with garage on the other end. Also, The electrician did not do the owner any favors with the lights centered over the garage doors. Best location is centered between them and have 4 of them. More light on the drive lane and when backing up at night, you have a reference in your mirrors to know you are centered.

Awesome Job 😎
