How To Build A Gravel Road on Unstable Ground (Part 9 of 10)

It’s the End of The Road!!! Building a Gravel Driveway

[@everestyeti]

It's a million miles better than what you started with Todd, great piece of work, you should be really proud of where you are now. You've built in resilience to try and stop the area flooding again and like you say, it's up to mother nature to play her part. Hopefully it won't be long before you can finish it off, with some stone. 👍🤗

[@DigginLife21]

It went well and it’s working very well for the customer 👍👍👍

[@tancolepropertyrehab6108]

It's been a "rough" one. But I've watched every minute of it, and I never doubted you brother. LOOKING GOOD!!! Still waiting on the "Toddcast" to come back

[@DigginLife21]

You know it and still going strong

[@goingcrazytrain1453]

Your video's are very very helpful hillbilly, and I say to you my friend, please do not stop posting your video's, cause they help me tremendously. Much love and respect to you my friend.

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks for the kind comment🙏🏻

[@halbubba2749]

TODD I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING THE CHALLENGE AND FULL PROCESS OF TURNING A MESS INTO A FINISHED PRODUCT. KEEP 'EM COMING👍👍👍

[@carsonwashburn1]

I’ve been watching your videos for about six months, and man it’s awesome watching a skilled operator like you work. Love the content!

[@EliTheDieselGuy]

Nice work. You are the smoothest operator I have ever seen.

[@billcowart589]

Turning out great Todd . Thanks for sharing with us. It was a rough go to start

[@mikel9567]

I work in public works and I'm super excited because I get to build my first road from scratch. Hoping I will get to use some of what I have learned from your channel.

[@davidpritch718]

Carolina Cat wants to sell you that roller. That's why they stopped by. Would make a good addition (lambsfoot & smooth rollers) if you were to make more roads.

[@jeremyj612]

That job started really rough but it’s rounding into shape nicely!

[@rusallen7]

Looking great. Rough but nice too

[@TNT27767]

This has been a Rough and wet journey for Todd.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@stevenreeve4491]

As rough as it started out you have turned it into a good-looking base for a road.

[@wenotme2023]

Thanks Todd you make the rough look easy. Stay safe brother

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

Road build is looking great I really enjoyed following along 👍🏻

[@ianbirkmyre4622]

Not looking nearly as Rough!!! as when you started impressive progress Todd.

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

ROUGH, I really like the fact that the Carolina CAT rep's came by the job site even though it was a rental Roller good PR goes a long way in the construction bizz in my opinion. Todd feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

[@NeboGold]

It's ROUGH to work with mother-nature .😢

[@Matt-qd8lq]

I've enjoyed watching this project, I've learned quite a bit from the obstacles you've come across. Thank you for creating great content, God Bless you!

[@kailingassett7123]

Rough weather been going around! Awesome work!

[@gorgonbazil2652]

The "Rough" driveway is back! Now if you can just get the weather to co operate with you, we will see the last of it and you can move on to another crazy drive! Great Vids Todd...

[@johngersna3263]

Hey Todd, who doesn't love a little "Rough" once in a while?"😂😅👍👍😊 This one was a little bit "Rough" trying to make it sound right.😂😂

[@chriselliott2364]

Rough!! Gotta start somewhere!!

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

It going to be nice. Have a great day.

[@mikespivey1015]

Rough!!! It's looking better every time

[@sarahbearah1993]

Hey!!! I didn't get any notifications from your channel for over a year! I just found you again! I'm so happy to be back and to see that you are still at it! How are you? How's Miss Emma? The road looks awesome, you can up with a very clever solution for controlling the spring.

[@ProudPapaw88]

Rough!! Great video, Todd. If it ever quits raining. Thanks for sharing.

[@joannesims2459]

Really enjoying the progress 😊 Jo from Lincolnshire UK 👍

[@junkyarddd1]

Awesome work as usual!!!

[@OneBrightLightTN]

This is one rough job, but you’ve done it well

[@luludawg1]

You're getting it done!

[@busman46]

ROUGH !!! It Todd. I am digging your channel man. Hope to start my own mini road build this year. I will watch and learn from you.

[@wardpace7187]

Great job, Todd🎉 look good 👍

[@Hammer.J.Helmer]

ROUGH!! You've got a great touch with that grading bucket!

[@michaelshepherd733]

Rough....road looking good

[@stevesaulsbury202]

Looking good Todd !!

[@bp5558]

Todd, nice road build! It's ROUGH waiting for the next KZbin masterpiece, but well worth waiting for. Thanks for all you do.

[@kevinficzere3826]

Mad skills! Great job.

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks!

[@timray1827]

That was a Rough Job Todd but you have her almost finished 😊

[@nickmills5814]

Rough!!! But your getting there looking good

[@joebacarella2829]

You are like a surgeon with that big bucket, I could watch all day, that`s a beautiful crown it should drain and dry up real nice.

[@parkerduet7883]

Rough for now but built tough by Todd!

[@dallasezell738]

Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for bringing us along

[@grantlittlejohn8140]

Great content keep it up 🎉

[@shawnatkinson2086]

Rough!! Todd I’m fairly new to your channel, love the road building in the woods. Couldn’t help but think what a bonus to have rented a track dump to move that dirt, but the downside is a rental bill. Keep pumpin out the videos

[@theotherbrock787]

Good job!!

[@michaelhenderson1972]

I know how ROUGH!!! it is to work around Mother Nature and you can always plan around what the weatherman says. I would have fast forwarded past the grading part but I wanted to watch you work that tilt bucket. I am going to eventually purchase one for my excavator. Thanks for the videos… till the next one be safe.

[@josephrottina1901]

Great video brother.

[@DigginLife21]

Much appreciated

[@allenwc]

Rough to gruff. Love how you work with such clear intent. Tilt bucket sure is nice for creating grades eh? Have to agree with you on Cat Machines, they are good. Can’t go wrong with Cat. It is hard to see in the video, but that culvert you put in today, why a culvert instead of a really wide swale? Do you need the berm there to prevent the creek from over flowing? Just curious.

[@martymclamb5750]

Nice job

[@kevinruggles9180]

rough! keep up the great work. :)

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Looks great. Whew, that was easy - not!

[@DigginLife21]

Lol. It was quite the project

[@chuckgulledge2304]

Enjoy your videos very much. Hello from benton tennessee

[@trcattle2797]

Line that driveway with some shale/slate.

[@shanerowland3715]

That is rough but I can see where you are going with that the stone will level it out right?

[@michaelgrasty4240]

Rough!!👍🏻

[@sherryhigdon1817]

Rough! 😊

[@christinafrecker3831]

❤rough....

[@Brickmon455]

Do you ever do any private consults to help with info for someone wanting to get started in the business?

[@trcattle2797]

Would you do a cost video on this project please?

[@thomasbrennaniii]

Man it was rough getting my Big Mac today

[@russheckert7340]

Love your channel Todd is the roller going to be your future piece of equipment?

[@johnanthony2420]

What is the ball park price of this job. Seems like a lot of time and material invested. I would think atleast $50k

[@mikewhittemorejr]

rough...... i want a tilt bucket

[@elmarty4803]

We are literally watching every scoop of dirt....lol. That is the point of this. IMO

[@DigginLife21]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@bradteaters9804]

Hey Todd roads looking good. I was wondering on a job this size did you price it as on lump sum or did you price it by the day to help with unforseen problems like the springs showing up? Thanks

[@flat6fever680]

like!

[@etiennecossette6220]

Rough!!!!

[@michaelkoon8371]

Turned out to be a bigger job then you figured right

[@DigginLife21]

Little bit

[@anthonyrampolla3884]

My man, do you know off the top of your head what the empty weight of the f750 is ?

[@TacticalMainframe]

Rough 😅

[@BarryHull]

Ok, I'm confused. It looked like you built your road of nice compact-able clay, then covered the lower part with topsoil. Just curious because I want to build some wide trails in my woods and have lots of clay available. I thought topsoil didn't drain as well as sloped clay. Thanks Todd.

[@danielboisvert4765]

Same though. And I'm not sure but is he thinking not a gravel road but grass. The clay will eroad without something like stone(expected) or grass which I'm assuming at this point

[@bp5558]

Shape drains better than permeable fill, sometimes. He's going to bring stone on top. The minimal amount of borrow he used just saved his customer on purchasing more fill. It may be a rough thought at first, but things will smooth out soon enough. From Topsail Beach, NC ....... Great work, Todd.

[@shadowbanned69]

I've never seen a road pitched to one side like that with a 2 ft trench to slide off and get stuck. I guess this is road building in the Carolinas...this would never pass code in north east road work...but I don't think this is code work so....

[@me4g862]

@@shadowbanned69 i had land not far from this area and that clay gets slippery as ice when it gets wet...i slid into the ditch twice with my skidsteer and pick up truck (2wd) and broke off a side-mirror against a tree on the truck......good that he layed down the fabric because without it, the gravel will quicky sink down into the clay and you are back where u started in a few months
