Kudos on digging the trench. It was a smart move and indicative of the way you work. A good engineer anticipates the problem instead of reacting after it has occurred. Let the critics put that in their pipe and smoke it.

The new driveway looks quite steep, so not surprising the truck got stuck, but what surprised me was the little bobcat pulled it out up hill !!. I find it very satisfying watching your work, and the progress made.Thank you .

Glad a pro with a contractor license knows what he is doing and follows state rules and stuff. This guy is on top of things glad to see the things getting done the right way, keep up the great work man.

The drone shots of the end product are a really great addition to your videos man, it really shows a great production value.

I like the look from the drone too. It sure gives a nice look around and the driveway looks good.

What a beautiful area that is. Most of New Jersey is nothing but highways, traffic, stress and 90 miles per hour.

Your work Level is 100% all the jobs you do. Thank you for a great work ethic.

Half the reason I watch your videos ,are the great audio mix you put on. Great job keep it up!

I like the way you call out idiots that have never done this type of work. I call em KEYBOARD WARRIORS. Lol

Andrew ... you should know by now, you have to take 'KZfaq Comments' with a grain of salt. You do GREAT JOBS at REASONABLE PRICES ... you've had good success and gained valuable knowledge and experience over the years, and from what I've observed, you have an abundance of (un)common sense which makes you a hard worker and problem solver. I would hire you in a split second !!! Keep up the great videos ... I'm a retired truck driver that appreciates a guy who works hard and uses his head to get things done. I drove for over 40 years and 5 million miles without an accident, and people tried to criticize the way I drove (especially dumbass dispatchers .. ha, ha) ... so I say, "proof is in the pudding" . You do great work ... and it shows !!!

Another really pro job Andrew, the drone over the finish is a nice touch. Keep them coming...Mike

I always enjoy your video's you do the best you can do, and even more.. That's why your clients call you back, again and again..Another thing we ALL LOVE is when you finish a job you try to put in your lab's and that wonderful drone from above...That's the icing on the cake for all of us, Thanks, See Ya

Theres nothing wrong with the culvert. If it was any deeper, every time it rained it would hold water and eventually fill with mud.

Trench on the high side...brilliant...drone pilot skills...brilliant

now let that settle. then add another thick layer and it will all turn to pretty much a concrete like surface. if people are complaining about the culvert pipe, perhaps they should watch one of your earlier videos of you driving over different types of pipe. nice video dude. thanks for sharing.

Awesome work andrew coming all the way from big island hawaii.

Thank you , Andrew .

Great Job ‼️ Enjoy watching someone who knows how to operate equipment the way it was supposed to be used‼️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

dont mind the haters/losers. they are jealous you are so good and successful. keep it up. I nenjoy the videos and learn something every time Thanks

WHAT Beautiful country view with the drone.Awesome.thanks sir

The culvert looks great ans nice job with the grading. Nothing like a track skid steer

"Construction Vehicle Do Not Follow" But but I'm going down this road too ;p

Back again to gets some satisfying AC entertainment, that entrance still looks great, it’s holding up nicely. Even though this was posted a while ago it’s alway great to see and hear you Andrew ✌️

Re the culvert depth. There is always someone who knows more about what you are doing than you do. Disregard the armchair expertsl

LOVED the music on this one, and OMG seeing this again, was the place where you had that septic nightmare...Love your videos!! better than MOST programming on my cable!

Excellent work !!

I gravelled my driveway a number of times but after rain I would end up with mud and muddy potholes until our garden supplies store started stocking the fabric. Never had seen it before. Put it down and hand spread yet more gravel but never again have I had muddy spots. Even grass has grown up through it and it is solid as a rock. So glad someone discovered it..

Literally one of he only people I can watch work and not cringe at everything they do and have to think of a better way of doing the job. Keep the videos coming man!

I dont know why but your videos are relaxing to watch after working all day. Its cool to see the progression of this property.

Great video and filming. Love to watch how you work. You do a great job.

hello, from Russia, Bro. I love my Bobcat S185

Love the music in this video!

very nice job and a really good spot for a home

great job love the videos thanks have fun

Nice work!

There is support all around the sides of the pipe. Therefore the pipe can’t just be squished. The only other way it could get crushed is from immense pressure from above to collapse the pipe in on itself. It is almost impossible for that to happen because of the structure of the pipe, because the top is an arch and can withstand a huge amount of weight. So yes, That depth would be plenty.

How did I never see this one?? This is the site where you dug the foundation, and pumped out the basement, and unfroze your Bobcat ten times.... And the septic field, let's not talk about that.... Probably why later they were refusing to go down the driveway... The one guy probably told everyone else at the yard, don't go down there, I got stuck....

Culvert pipe needs a very small hump, a dip collecting water at highway entrance not good. Never seen plastic, except by you Andrew, I'd hire you in a second.

That's amazing how you have on road tracks and you're doing off-road work

Way to go Good JOB!!!

(New Sub) Wow just watched the hour long video of you doing a driveway and now this one, you've got some skill man.. i once hired a digger for the garden and it took me a couple of days to get into the swing of things.. but could never flatten out the mud like you do! Love the videos keep them coming, don't listen to the negativity they wouldnt be able to do what you've achieved.

very good job, culvert looks great also. Keep the videos coming.

watching from Ireland , enjoying the vids Andrew :)

Looking great

That Bobcat is a little beast!!

Fantastic job... I from Brazil ... I Like your Job!!!!

Andrew awesome job, keep up the great work, and videos

Back in my day you would have been the "King of the Sandbox"with all the coolest Tonka toys....

Turned out nice. Not ready for paving lol. But for out in the country nice job

Love the drone shots, pleas always do a 360 degree shot, priceless.

You laid that culvert perfectly, once backfilled they become stronger and for the most part get alot stronger.

I'm surprised no one said anything about the near face plant on your second trip across the pile from the first load. Had me laughing because I've been in that same boat. The seat was left with a permanent crease afterward 🤣🤣

Love the drone. Nice job, again.

430 comments...I'll bet $10 not one a woman. Something about this kinda stuff guys just love. Skidsteers are pricey but super handy. Yup, drone shot at end was very nice. Nice job bro.

i use to work in the road building and maintenance industry ( as a foreman who has to know all the codes and regulation, state and federal ) and from all that i've seen here, all is with in code for driveways. To all the haters and know it all's out there on youtube know your regulation before you criticize and person for doing the job correctly.

Very nice!!!

About the culvert pipe crushing: I've worked for a grading company for 14 years and the man I work for has been doing grading for 40 years. The rule of thumb we use is at least 8 inches of cover over culvert pipes. That includes concrete pipe and especially the plastic. It has the corrigatoin to make it stronger but I've seen it crush when it's only a small amount of cover. I've seen concrete pipe crush as well but it had a very heavy load on it with only about 2 inches of cover. Do it right or a little better than right so you don't have to fix a mistake for free and lose money is a good rule to follow as well. My boss man must know because hes had plenty of time and experience. You do great work for sure and I'm not trying to knock you or be disrespectful at all just offering some friendly advice. Love what you do and I'm headed toward working for myself as well. Keep up the good work! ❗👍

Great video and quite a job. Miss the Levi though! Going up this drive must be quite a job in the winter snow. Come to think of it.....coming down might not be much fun either, unless you're on a sled. That was some quality job.

Always people complaining about anything and everything, pay them no attention. Thank you for making great content.

Andrew, I'm an Aussie but the drone shots are surprisingly effective. Just watching you and Red Poppie and a few others I can at least recognise what state I'm in without checking the atlas. Love the music/drones too.

Unless those lounge chair experts are out there doing this themselves... Yeah just ignore them

I really like your tracked bobcat. it is very useful. it does take owner help, during very cold weather, by vigorous cleaning after evening, to be able to be used in the morning. but that would keep it from breaking, and since it is so dependable, and starts so well, even in very cold weather, that if it had a cab, like with a removable cab with plastic, so it would even be more comfortable in very cold weather, and would even benefit when plowing clients driveways during extreme cold, by putting a heater in the cab. even small honda's have small cabs, so as you get older, it doesn't wear you down prematurely.

I do think the skid steer does compact the stone but maybe not as much as other equipment might,bit I enjoy your videos way more so keep it up man👍

You've got a good crown high side ditched unless you get a massive amount of rain all at once. Looking good wish I could say that about my drive LoL good job.

Don't let the Naysayers bring you down Andrew comments are not needed anyway, arm chair quarterbacks are everywhere. Its easy to disable the comments.. Really like the drone shots also..

Truck with a huge orange sign that reads "Construction Vehicle. Do not follow" and there goes Camarata running behind it with his camera!! Hahahahhaha

You have a good eye when making grade Andrew

Andrew, any Naysayers' about your work, are idiots ! ignore them. There are several youtubers that "know what they are doing", YOU are one of them!Always a great job , keep them coming. I still think you need a forestry mulcher, the barrel type, for your skid loader.

I think your videos are great. The drone footage is cool also. Keep up the good work.

That was cool...

nicely done

Hey Bro Andy, every1 has their own taste of enjoyment, but I'd say I been waiting these jobs kind videos, these ain't only unbeatable they also much addictive. But im also happy watching how are you doing these days 🙏 INDIAN😊

On the culvert pipe, I think it's because you use good pipe. I like that double walled black ABS pipe like you used, and have had good luck with it too. But I've seen guys install cheap crappy single walled pipe that will definitely crush. Sometimes even if you install it deep enough.

Good Mavric pro shots and great grading skills! Peace!

Thanks for the video and I really like the shirt I received a few days ago.

Nice drive Andrew

you do great work wish you were out here on west coast i need a road cut in

hey man you are good on the bobcat...............................

Good job!

I also loved how he used the rocks from the lot to add as to the drain that was an great idea

Very nice and good job

Excellent drone footage Andrew, that bobcat made short work of that driveway.

There is the way, and there is the way. you do it well.

I would neeeeeeever question anything you do!!!!! Love watching ur vids tho must say!!!!

I was going to ask, but I read in your comments that your not finished and that you plan another layer of finer material. Just made a very similar driveway thru woodlands here in the midwest. After making a 6 inch cut, we laid fabric, Put down PGE (recycled concrete) and then covered it with recycled asphalt grindings. Looks great, will last and reusing material .

Beautiful there that West Virginia where we at is beautiful

He got excited when he pushed the tree over and got hung on the root ball I have pushed 100`s of trees that size over with same machine and got hung a few times. Great work!

I am not a expert on anything but it looks to me like you are doing a good job

Everything about this video was fine and I love this channel! Not here to be negative Or judgmental but when digging a swale along the driveway all those trees that received root damage will likely die as a result. Something to keep in mind for everyone

I have never seen a plastic culvert collapse even with a few inches of rock and soil covering the tops. Our county barn has switched to all plastic culverts. To date they have never had one fail and we live in a heavy agriculture county and there is nothing heavier than a big round hay bailer with narrow wheels. They cause more compression than a 120 HP 4 wheel drive tractor with orchard tires and wheels on the tractor. We have lots of huge orchards and the farmers order their tractors with those narrow wheels and tires and boy do they ever compact the soil.

Andrew, what drone are you using? It's very stable and the image quality is awesome! Great video BTW!

good job nice work

I think you’re in the Catskills. Good music for drone video part.

Looks like there is WAY TOO MUCH dirt in that Base Stone to me? ..... But a good heavy load of Crush-N-Run (not 2-A modified) on top will fix that issue!.....Always fun watching Andy Camarata's video's, hes a very smart young man!!!... ---> However, I miss not seeing NEW Storage Container work, I'm making plans to build my Storage Container shop with a large apartment myself, Andy's videos gave me TONS of ideas and saved me from doing things the wrong way or a harder way!....thanks Andy!.

No matter what you do, there is always someone who thinks they can do it better. I say go with what you know works for you, sleep well at night and keep moving on!

people commenting about the culvert pipe haven't understood how coarse gravel/stone works to distribute loads. plus in this situation it can't be deeper then the ditch it feeds to/from.

People Need To Just Enjoy How & What You Do & If They Can't Say Something Constructive Then Don't Say Nothing At All

Gota love a skid steer

When we get delivered gravel in Denmark the trucks carry 84.000 lbs on one trailer

Good video and nice work on the road. Take negative comments with a grain of salt. It is obvious that you know what you are doing.
