I sure like the stone retaining wall your neighbor has we keep seeing in the background. I would love to see a video on building one of those or just commenting on his, if they will let you, if it was built correctly. It looks good from your drive. I want to build some similar to that on my property with the big stones and not the railroad ties I have now. Protect your hands from cutting them on the trailer, experience lesson there, Have Sthil get you their electric blower., mine is EGo, love it. They are great at keeping your truck clean and cleaning up at clients. I keep one in my truck. You have the best toys....Was hanging to the end to watch the grading and listen to the music....I will have to wait for part 2.

Part 2 is finally out. That big retaining wall of our neighbors was done on his own. he has experience in landscaping. We did a big one like that a few years back and I filmed it if you want to see how its done. BUT its not the one you seen in this video. Same concept- different locaiton

I agree with the first comment. That is not gravel were I live. We have a grey limestone. It’s pretty hard and we blast it out of the pits then crush it and run it thru sizing screens. I use 3/4” crush and it packs in hard and you won’t have to deal with it even under heavy traffic for years. Our limestone can be great for building or a curse if you have to dig a basement were it’s close to the surface. Guess there’s good and bad in everything. Like your content,especially the trade shows and product testing.
