How to LOSE money running a landscaping company

[@tracthing1]

Love your guys' videos 😂😂

[@pagelservices]

Hey @tracthing1 we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!

[@ToddyRackz]

we want more footage of the cigarette smoking shovel digging girl! lol

[@pagelservices]

We will do our best! Thanks for watching!

Her name is "Bosses Girlfriend" 😅

[@mando5cadillac]

No we don’t.

[@ToddyRackz]

@@mando5cadillac yes we do

[@robertkelley6765]

You don't try to hide your feelings I like that. You are not fake.

[@pagelservices]

Too many fake people on this. Thank you!

[@MacAttk]

Jump out there on knee boards and a mag float and start scrubbing those rocks next time. Try not to bullfloat more than once too, brings out the sand and you have to work harder to burn that sand

[@johncarlson7955]

I poured and finished my share of concrete, I would always get everything ready, double check slope if any and level , even if you have to wait a day . cause once it comes it’s go time. Peace of mind goes along way. 😊 love the videos !!

[@pagelservices]

Yep, that was on us. Thank you!

[@deeanparris7262]

This guy has no clue what he's doing. Putting all that water into 4" pipe not up sizing as you go.

[@pagelservices]

It has not had any issues so far, and we have been getting 2"- 3" rain falls all spring.

[@sethbarringer7982]

Dude that wasnt lost, you just had to get out on it on boards, not just bullfloat it and call it. Jesus bro

[@pagelservices]

Hey @sethbarringer7982, appreciate your feedback! You're absolutely right, and I value your insight. It's a learning process, and we're always striving to improve. Thanks for pointing out the need to get on boards instead of just bullfloating-we'll definitely keep that in mind for next time. Constructive comments like yours help me grow, so thank you for taking the time to share your expertise! 👍🏽

[@hazzurs]

You definitely had to time to hop in the conrete and scrub it

[@sethbarringer7982]

Vibra screeds dont work on stiff concrete either.... 2 guys on screed and rod that shit

[@pagelservices]

Thank you for your insight! We understand that now. Thanks for the comment!

[@TheShred]

I take back the things I said. Was it a mess tearing the concrete back up?

[@jkray1202]

I run a small concrete co. and it always hurts to lose a load but like you said it's a learning curve and you just try to make up for it on the next job. If you tool those joints while you're finishing it looks much better when you saw cut the next day

[@pagelservices]

Great info. Thanks for watching!

[@deeanparris7262]

4" pipe, 2' bucket. WOW 😂

[@BixRivers.]

Explain please

[@tacticalservices3956]

Are you a license contractor?

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

I’m new to your channel and I really like the content. But I do just have one question, how could you trust that kid to tell you things were ready. I understand good help is hard to find. In concrete when you know it’s not going to happen the first thing you do is cancel the load, that way it’s the only real loss. I think your channel is going to explode soon and I’ll be very happy for you. Keep up the great videos, trust your gut young man. You have a lot of talent. Thank you

[@pagelservices]

First, thank you. Those are very kind words and much appreciated. As for trusting Hunter and Mike they have both worked for me for years. I trust them a lot. Unfortunately it was the first time I left a pour prep in their hands and things didn't go as planned. Was a learning experience for all. Thanks for watching!

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

@@pagelservices thank you for replying. I understand what you mean. I’ll be trying to catch up on your videos. I really have enjoyed them.

[@walleyedbc1914]

Holly, jumping up out of the ditch, reminded me of an old Yeehaw bit.

[@pagelservices]

haha! Thanks for watching!

[@kels2240]

U should do a collaboration with Ryan from victory that would be a good one lol

[@pagelservices]

haha, we have tried. They never respond. Thanks for watching!

[@tmaniatty1]

You can definitely tell they have no clue what they’re doing with concrete

[@pagelservices]

We don't do concrete

[@jeffreymccluskey2196]

Do you ever pour concrete in a Saturday??? If so reach out. I’d be glad to help.

[@pagelservices]

We almost never work Saturdays, but we will keep it mind. Thanks for watching!

[@jeffreymccluskey2196]

I live in dodgeville. So just a duck and a dive away from you.

[@SandlGetIt]

That blonde gal is so beautiful. And such a hard worker

[@joshwiederholt5965]

Give Hunter a raise

[@pagelservices]

(p)raise maybe...

[@shaunblevins3303]

Still looks like Crap.

@dustinroberts5826 you just never know. If we get enough followers who knows when a giveaway might be! 😉

[@gturtle7825]

Caleb. I mean no disrespect towards you. You know you shit. You’re very talented. Your crew………..From what I see. Your crew seems to not give a F$$$!!! Unless you’re on the job site. Hunter needs to go. That dude is way too cocky for he brings to the table. I think you are too hard on yourself. It’s your crew that is the problem. I was a business owner for almost 30 years. Had the same issues you are having. People get too comfortable. Maybe you should hire a couple of “Hot Shots” to help run the crews. “What you allow. You encourage”. I’m on your side brother. You seem like a great guy. Just hate seeing this shit. Especially when it seems your employees take advantage.

[@pagelservices]

In all fairness, hunter gets a bad rap because all we do is put in his f ups. But he's actually a damn good worker and kid. Thanks for watching!

[@melvinsmiley5295]

I love the transparency on your videos (can’t win em all). What % of your business is concrete work? I have noticed Ryan said he was focused on bigger concrete like parking lots or driveways vs smaller jobs…he can do walls but does not focus on those now. Your business looks huge. I bet you guys could learn a ton from each other…are you close to him in Wisconsin?

[@pagelservices]

we are about 3 hours away. We would absolutely colab with them if they wanted, but I don't think we are big enough yet. Thanks for watching!

[@Shae-3]

10:56 The rebar is basically flush with the ground, I'm no expert(no sarcasm) but I'd say it would need to be slightly higher up to provide any(or more) of whatever it provides... Also, it's not easy to estimate when something will be finished, so if somebody says it'll be finished by 1... you should add a few hours to that.

[@terencemerritt]

Bottom 1/3

[@kerryshambach2220]

Joints?

[@pagelservices]

Saw cut 12 hours later

[@kerryshambach2220]

@@pagelservices ok. You don’t worry about it stress/cure cracking over night? Respect that you had the know all to stop and tear out what you knew might not come out nice. That shows Your not just another one like Lazy-E concrete

[@alexanderlombard8954]

So trusting the previous guys subgrade is a risk. I pour for plenty of guys that dont know a thing about it and 90% of time its fine. But your tearing out the 10%. Travel time, your mix design, type of cement, and the ordered slump all elements to consider. Some general assumptions on what you did here is ordered 6sk limestone type 3 with hot water and 1% which is essentially lava. If the plant is close. If it was a hike away it couldve been type 2 you ordered a 5 and it just set up to 3inch in transit and the driver wet it up before pouring because its definitely been dryer than a 5 previously based on the appearance. Always screed and float a section before pouring more out. A Dedicated float man something to avoid having to spray water on it . A weighted float blade probably could've solved your problem too. Water hides your mistake but ruins the seal layer. Old mud is a possibility too but that would be 2.5 hours old imo which most plants wouldn't send out

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the info!

i watrched this video at 1.75x speed and its so funny lmao

hey @stevegreene6178 I can't say exactly when... but the moment we hit 1000 followers might be a good time? Thanks for watching!

[@FamilyMan1520]

Never trust your guy’s to have a project ready. Especially something so expensive and permanent like concrete.

[@pagelservices]

Very true! It was a learning experience for sure. I trust my guys though. We will get there. Thanks for watching!

[@rogergoins8118]

Enjoyed the video! Got to say Holly is good to have on your team. You are a working boss not many of those around.

Don’t know why you didn’t form for the next day if you weren’t able to be around from the start. You know your crew though and anything is possible I guess. It is one of the reasons I don’t do cement.

Mr Pagel where is your crews 5 gal pails of water for their trowls and tools keeping them wet and clean as you work the concrete is very helpful and makes clean up much easier .... not being a jerk just food for thought ....

Thanks for the tip!
