Building A New Driveway

[@TGSamantha091]

Good tip about usage of fabric. I learned something today.. You saved property owner money on unneeded expense =)

[@assassinlexx1993]

That four in one bucket really does a great job striping sod. Even that little strip by the road was neatly clean off. No rocks was found on this job.👍🤣

[@dirtfarmer7472]

That bucket is as handy as a pocket on a shirt, that was fun to watch

[@kittty2005]

Your outros are getting better, you complimenting your work adds a personal touch, thank you.

[@louisroman7134]

Stripping with that bucket was really cool!!!!!

[@mikemichaels420]

Just so mesmerized by digging and smoothing out dirt and rock. Takes me back as a kid playing in the dirt.

[@karencary3312]

It pays to have the right tools. It gets the job done faster and does a better job. Great work.

[@brandontommessilli20]

Just when I think you can't get better at driveways,you blow it out of the park.You have a precision eye that catches every detail.Keep making America great!

[@deernutOO]

Indeed, turned out nice. You had the right tool for that job, and the technique down pat for putting it to good use. tks for taking us along.

[@jerry4260]

Chris, you along with some other KZbinrs, are part of the reason I purchased two new machines to get back into dirt moving after doing something totally unrelated for 30+ years. Traded away some other equipment I had and now own a Takeuchi TL12R2 High Flow and a TB260 both with cabs. Just weekend work for myself and a few others for now but I'm having fun. Thanks for all your effort making great video content!

[@letsdig18]

Nice I hope you do well!

[@littlefinkle7757]

Very true! Bermuda will grow everywhere except in shade. Fabric is only for bridging or keeping materials from bonding together. Great work! Maybe time for a review on that bucket now that you have used it a while?

[@angelo60415]

Great work Chris, it's nice when you add a few min. of a video showing the whole picture of you working.👍

[@oldschoolhoosier]

All in a days work.. I always enjoy watching an artist at work....lol. Chris does every job as if it was his own detailed canvas painting. 👨🏻‍🎨

[@johnleonard4261]

Just watching this video for the first time. What a treat. I have already learned how to do certain things a little better. Thanks Chris!!!

[@wyldbladze]

Whichever contractor that is building that house, is going to love that lot. Awesome driveway to get into, park, and to get materials delivered.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

This is actually one of the first videos I’ve watched where I can see the benefits of a 4in1 bucket 😁Looks great man!

[@rhacker3058]

That's one nice sod cutter you have there!!!!

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

Now that's a trick with the four-way bucket for stripping sod that I haven't seen before, that works a treat!! Between that and everyone likes watching some gate spreading the guy at the storage unit job was the best I've seen..absolutely satisfying video to watch!

[@randoff32]

I love the way the Earth rotates, it really makes my day.

[@robertcable6348]

Hoping everyone back there is safe with all of this bad weather!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Another job well done, thanks for sharing Chris. Kevin

[@csnelling4]

That beats removing rock, nice job Chris 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧👍🍺

[@28cucbn]

These videos are perfect for winding down before going to sleep. They are informative and entertaining while also meditative and relaxing. Have to love disabling the backup alarms

[@johnobiro5202]

Good job there Chris. I love that Skid steer, it’s a handy little Machine.

[@paulprigge1209]

Man knows his business! Very relaxing to watch somebody who is an extension of the machine.

[@craigwavra3495]

Enjoyed this video. Amazing to watch you peel that ground with the 4:1. That bucket has paid for itself over many times.

[@Mephiston]

Just want to say I appreciate the editing and trimming work done on the video today. I appreciate that it would have been a 2 hour long video if you hadnt edited it. It's good when you show the highlights of each stage, maybe the start, a bit in the middle, then the end, since it shows us enough to get the idea, and the start/finish progress of that stage, without being needlessly inflated in time. So yeah, thanks for that, it's really appreciated.

[@kittty2005]

Yeah but some of us like over inflated needlessly loooong videos, just the sound of track pads slapping the ground is so soothing and the engines roar, but to hear the dulcet tones of this mans voice will calm the most rattled nerves. Do what you have to do to your videos I'll keep watching and listening, a great big hug.

[@Mephiston]

@@kittty2005 Oh for sure, I'm not trying to take that away from anybody. I'm just saying that in this instance it was well edited to save it from being too drawn out.

[@murrayandru7527]

The machine becomes a Part of your body after awhile, you don't even think about it . It just happens , that's skill ! Chris's attitude is Tops .

[@timgarner6768]

Another nice project. A simple sketch of the property and driveway would help us visualize. Astonished local authorities allowed a forty foot "curb cut" leading to a house. Would never be allowed here.

[@stephengmeiner3264]

That 4in1 bucket on the turf is amazing! It turns it into carpet:)

[@gaylecharpentier8097]

Mr Gayle Charpentier New Iberia, Louisiana. I watch you do your work ,you do great work. I can see why you stay working .I like to watch i enjoy God bless .

[@robertrockwell7581]

Chris I worked on the Ground Crew for the Detroit Tigers and I think you have found a way too strip Sod off the field a whole lot easier than when we did it. nice work. stay safe.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

The little one from Nagano makes a great job! Cheers

[@marcryvon]

Looking at you actually "peeling" the grass at 23:54 was interesting. Awesome attachment ! Nice job Chris !

[@learninghowtodothis8062]

I really liked your method of using the bucket grapple to clean up the sod next to the road --very clever.

[@r1mein54]

I have an idea for you,, get AMI to build an angle blade for the Taki so its easier to clean the edges. Just what you needed today, a nice simple driveway job with NO boulders. @ 35:28 we can hear that track roller that rattles like the tanks in WW2 movies.

[@kdexcavation4887]

Love new roads! ... and building sites .... I enjoy doing jobs that others cant do or wont do .... gives me that edge!

[@ronwatson4902]

It really does look nice. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@DigginLife21]

🔥🔥🔥 SURE IS SATISFYING TO WATCH THE SOD BEING STRIPPED WITH THAT 4 in 1👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AllstarVentures]

Appreciate the little explanation on the fabric. It’s what I figured but always good to hear confirmation from a pro. I’ll be putting in a driveway tomorrow. Hopefully it goes as smooth as this one 👍🏼

Another good job Chris, thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

[@jonlowe8727]

Fabric is 100 percent for ground stability. It definitely won't stop weeds. Mans correct.

[@Skynet-1]

I feel better now because I didn't put fabric down under my crushed asphalt. I do have to spray to kill the grass & weeds in spots. 🚜👍👍👍

[@patricknorman8358]

It's good to be good on every machine. Keep up the great work brother. Looks great as always!

[@patriciabuccellato7900]

its obvious he's an excellent mechanic and proud of his work

[@davestuart6593]

It does look nice,gentle curve better than straight shot!

[@makingithappen5178]

A little variety from all the big rocks.

[@willb3018]

😂

[@george8873]

Could re-use that sod that was peeled up while clearing the grass from the house pad. It peeled up like you were using a sod cutter.

[@Watchman-zd5cx]

I would use the VEVOR underlayment. That rock over time will seep down into the causing pits. Also, will cause you having to redo driveway more than if VEVOR was used. But, to each their own I personally would use underlayment.

[@stevekissel605]

That bucket makes stripping grass easy. Great job 👍

[@Stratos53100]

i'd like to say i invented the 4x1 bucket, Whoever did is D lucky, Though the reverse loading "clamshell" type etc is a total game changer no doubt.

[@jwdickinson643]

I realize the ease with which you handle all your machines comes from years of experience and hard work, but man, you sure make this look fun!

[@utubota5522]

That 4 in one bucket makes a great sod cutter.

[@stevenphare5455]

Love that crazy sod cutter! Works great! That bucket is awesome!!🤣

[@Santiago_jacrispy]

The skid steer is cool machine. Can do so many jobs 💪🏼

[@sudd2685]

The customer did about what I would do before calling for the calf rope, now time for a pro, thank you for your videos.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Another great video Chris and man I just wanted to say thank you for taking us along every day with you on your journey to work well I look forward to watching your videos every morning between 4 and 5 AM while I’m drinking my coffee but anyway brother you and John stay safe and keep the videos coming

[@kk.555]

Like some of the others I love that skid steer ( 401 bucket) I think you called it, that is the handiest tool ever, I done a few driveway's back it my operator day's I know that would have helped a lot. Of course the operator has something to do with it. Great work Love the videos.

[@williamfisher9803]

It’s like watching bob ross paint, only with a skidsteer... excellent!

[@jacksoncampbell9659]

Stripping the topsoil around the 24 minute mark may be the most satisfying thing over ever seen.

[@marczalewski6120]

It's awesome to see your mind work while working...

[@bryanhubner9848]

Looks great! I would think it was a nice change from the big rocks and filling trucks.

[@philipfleming3546]

You make it look so easy to wrap that grass off to make a smooth driveway.

Thats gonna be a nice spot for the House and the driveway looks nice as well.thats a Lot of stone To put down for the driveway.lucky you didnt have ans rain there cuz it looked a bit over cloud. Nice job.😀

[@miker8915]

nice job, thanks for sharing

[@rhacker3058]

Hey Chris, don't you ever have a problem with the screenings/aglime washing out around the pipe. We always used washed stone around the pipe, so if water did get around it, the water would dissipate into the ground around it. Then fill it in with ABC/CA6. Later: }

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Looks great as usual and no muddy pond, or rocks! 😆

Many weeds, including grass, travel over the ground, not under it. That's why fabric doesn't stop it.

[@dennis2376]

Fabric is also useless in landscaping applications, a real nuisance for later on maintenance.
