Nice job. A lotta stone! Looks great. So good to have your son on site. He’ll always remember those days. Thank you.

Nice to see father and son on the same job site. I'm about to buy my own dump truck and my father is going to ride along with me sometimes, which is reversed because about 40 years ago he was the driver and I was the passenger

[@berty1422]

Brilliant job Team DirtBoss! Good to see the setup from start to finish. Marking out, and then building up the pad with crusher run. A lot of people would not know where to start with a job like this. Now they know. Achieving that accuracy and finish is however, very difficult. Your years of experience shows. Them Mossies though- they look brutal trying to eat your camera and all...

[@ProudPapaw88]

Good looking garage pad. Always a good day when you can take your son, or daughter, to work with ya. Great video! Thanks for sharing, Dirt Boss!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

WOW! That pad looked MORE level than what "you guys" had to put in that area. I see the makings of an INTERESTING SEASON that's just getting underway! NEVER anything you cannot do *"with a little WORK"!* Lookin good, gentlemen!

[@davidharris453]

I have laid these by hand (well...a rake and shovel) for 24 years off the back of my 3 ton single axle dumptruck in rural nc. I compact it with my dumptruck tires and truth be told most of my work is repairing driveways. I long ago gave up on abc and do layers of various sizes of drainage rocks followed by layers of screenings and 78 m. My son and i built a road through a swamp with layers that began with class one riprap and ended up over 160 three ton loads later with screenings and 78 m.....and it carries tractor trailers with no problem. My geologist wife used lasers to level our 50 ton pool pad but only got it level when i raked it out by hand. Gravel is not rocket science but it is more of an experience based art form than a techically precise craft. I love working the stuff, it looks like you do too. Each job is a puzzle to be solved and when you get done you have created something....contractors never understand this! Good luck in your business.

[@ericspears2228]

Damn that’s the most I have read in a long time. Need folks like you around here with the knowledge to make some good roads and driveways

Good Job 👍. I'm considering same size building...But it's pretty much level ground. So you answered my question...If it's fairly level only around 6 "is needed ? And around 2 loads ? So the owner didn't do a concrete floor? Would be great to see finished building 😊

When you explained what you were doing, and you said four loads of crusher run, I thought you would more than enough...... how wrong was I !!!! 🤦‍♂️ Didn't seem to be much of a slope when you started, by the end of the video it was clear to see !!!

is it possible to compact a crushed run foundation for a 30 x 50 metal building with a tractor only?

[@chadmharris7061]

@@DIRT-BOSS so maybe if you use water; i'm putting in some concrete pieces under the crushed run also.

[@villageearthwright]

I'm a big fan of the gravel instead of too much concrete. Do you not worry that the gravel was too dry to properly compact? I found last year i had a to water a lot of driveway installs.

Your 22 tons per load works out to just over 16 cubic yards loose volume, may be a little over weight? What can that truck legally haul in New York? Here it would be only 14 CYs and dry dirt at that. 500 views in first 45 minuets not bad at all. Little Dirt Boss good job.

why didn't you bring the high end to the low end so the stone would have been same thickness all over ?seams like a waste of stone

[@brendenwaggy4862]

I'm in a similar situation with my project, and I'm doing the same thing he's doing in this video. Reason for not cutting from the high and building up the low in my case is because I'd be cutting below grade creating a below grade building pad. And even if I were to do this and build up with gravel, it's still going to take the same amount of gravel regardless to get the whole pad above grade. Plus filling with gravel and compacting ensures a stable base, whereas building up with topsoil on one end runs the risk of future settlement. Its expensive, but buy once cry once. Hope that kinda explains it.

What a waist of time. If you would have done even a basic layout first, you could have had the truck tailgate the gravel into place. Then all you would have had to do is final grade the pad instead of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off spreading gravel. Time is money my friend, and your wasting it!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Did you even watch the video? I did lay it out it's 3 ft thick You think tailgating would get you anywhere You have to put 50 passes on it
