Absolutely LOVE the closing drone footage and the joy of the dog on the ride home! Great work!

Good job ! You are like Andrew Camarata. I am a big fan of him and you:) from N.B. Canada 🇨🇦

[@grisal1]

Hi Jesse, Its inspiring to see you doing your thing, please never underestimate how much you inspire those of us who watch your channel from across the globe. UK here, getting made redundant at end of Jan 2021 which is ok, as I've been building my own little landscapping, tree work business on my days off from Heathrow airport doing cargo. Thanks to you and Andrew I'm taking on bigger projects that i would of maybe passed by before. Keep doing what you do, and thank you

[@Subaroutback]

Great page. Been watching Camarata's videos and for whatever reason never clicked on yours. Glad I finally did. Cheers from Maine!

[@maniacaloffroad5338]

These channels are stealing my sleep time. I like the random people walking into frame, looking around, then walking away. 😁

[@peterlara8744]

Happened on your video by accident. Wow, I was fascinated by what one man can do with a couple of machines. It's obvious you know your shit. I stayed up late just watching you build a road and clear those trees and all that construction work took me back to my childhood in Texas. Great video.

[@speedysteve9121]

What jolly fun! I knew Willis Jackson who was an artist with a backhoe/front loader. I was never afraid he'd hit me. He told me the way to avoid shoring was a 45 degree slope and multiplied the length by the depth and converted it into passes within a couple of seconds. Never more than 3 off.

[@chenesplit9158]

Hello, you live in a very beautiful country ! 😊 and your work is top 👍👌

[@williamgraham8809]

Amazing job, you are like Andrew, never "Can't do ", I'm impressed!

[@jmuller86]

thanks. I come from a family with that attitude. "can't isnt a word" is the motto

[@brianpersons6301]

Really enjoyed watching your video. I was impressed with your capabilities doing the excavation and how you planned out each move so no time was wasted. I’ve been thinking about getting a mini and the 35 Deere was one that I looked at. It’s amazing to me to see how much a small machine will do especially with an operator like yourself. I will look forward to watching more of your other videos. Thanks ! Brian

[@BorisFett]

Those trailers are neat. Its cool seeing the progress of a single job.

[@BillyLapTop]

Excellent video and construction project. Good music choices. Only negative was no fading to black between a few scenes. Thought my internet died when I saw a black screen. Seeing how you moved those buildings around I now know how the Pyramids were built. Love the aerial shots. Keep up the good work!

[@antrena490]

Damn, this was a well put together video. Gave me some confidence to put in my road and build out some orchard terraces. Thank you. 👍🏼

[@jmuller86]

You can do alot with a small machine if you get good with it. Now I kind of loose my patience on that machine on bigger projects, all I want to do is bring in a bigger machine...but I used to tackle any job with it when it was all I had

[@jerryuptmor2826]

This is really fun to watch and beautiful editing job too. Thanks.

[@dcla777]

Nice job Jesse. You save a lot of time if you will ask the delivery driver to do a tailgate spread for you. They can chain the tailgate so that it will only open to about 2-4 inches. Then when the dump they drive forward and the material will spread out for you. You will still have some spreading to do but it does save some time.

[@outhouse9451]

We’ve had a recycled-concrete driveway now for two years and it’s still great fun finding random things mixed in with it😂

[@hammrhed6861]

Nicely done, the area is beautiful this time of year

[@jmuller86]

thanks

[@keigan9006]

Jesse, I watched the video when you created that 'claw' for your excavator. I am pretty sure you were creating it in order to help with pulling stumps; but, in this video, you show that it is an effective tool to use on those hillsides with the soft shale. You were able to harvest a lot of good shale to use on the lower part of the driveway. I also enjoy watching the videos you create when you are building and framing. Keep it up, you do great work.

[@leedowney8587]

Using a box blade with your tractor and having your dump truck driver tailgate the loads would make your life so much easier and efficient. Great video bud.

[@jmuller86]

yea they did tailgate sometimes, but said I wasnt allowed to get it on camera because they are not technically allowed to do it per company rules. I probably will get a box blade, I have been using the skidsteer more often now, so its kind of on the back burner. thanks

[@leedowney8587]

[@ronaldheit196]

Love your musical picks. Your beautiful drone footage as well. It's like channeling one's inner child watching you work that job. After all, don't all little boys wanna operate the equipment you do as a profession ? Then there's the fact Men grow older but we never do actually grow up inside.

[@jmuller86]

thanks

[@truevtx1800rider]

Great video, great operator. We use crushed concrete a lot here at the plant I work at. I’m about to install a 2000’ driveway and will probably use it for base. It does work great. One draw back it has is in dry weather when it gets windy. It throws off an incredible amount of dust, even a couple years after being down. Not a huge deal if you cap it.

[@customowing]

Nice work you really do a lot of work with all your equipment.

There's so much to like in this video, Jesse! Beautiful photography at the end and the ride home was hilarious. I really like your on-screen notations - it's fascinating about the cement being from the Tappan Zee bridge. Talk about history! Plus you found some real pay dirt (stone) on the property that was very useful and those two gals helping were really hard workers, too. Nice job.

Jesse, just found this channel, great video and like Andrews channel i enjoy the commentary at the end of the video so we can see how the projects turned out. And us dog lovers always like to see them come along for the ride. Keep up the great content it takes a lot of work to produce videos like this, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@bobsrepairshop]

Hey Jesse, loved the video, you’re really improving over the last year. I’m glad that you decided to speak more, you do it better than most and it adds a lot to your content. As a dad with a son your age I think its pretty special that you found a friend in A/C with similar interest to share. If you show up with 8 wave runners and 6 excavators I’ll know that you’ve been spending too much time together. LOL Best wishes.

[@utubota5522]

You do a great job, and I enjoy your video. I have used crushed concrete in the past. It is inexpensive, and packs down really well. It does however leach chemicals into runoff and changes the ph of the adjacent soil. That is why I quit using it. Don't know if that makes any difference where you are building. Thanks for the vids.

Only thing I might add is make that 16-20 yard gravel truck earn his keep. 6 inches on the gate and a gentle spread. It's smooth and flat. " gravel dog Lange" Nice video and very safely done.

[@JohnVH-diy]

Cool video. Must be nice to knock over trees so easily. Here in Arizona the roots go down deeper than the trees are tall.

[@williambryant5946]

Really good work. Good stable base with the shale rock and crushed concrete. I am a little concerned about where the water is gonna go because I didn't see you put ditches down the sides. If you crowned the road really good you shouldn't have a problem but I can't tell from the video how much crown is in the road. That would be my only negative about your work but I may be wrong about this and just missed seeing the ditches in the video. (I'm not trying to be an ass, and hope I don't sound like one, just making an observation).Other than that you've done a great job and it looks really nice and looks like it will work very well. Always keep heading forward to bigger and better things. 👍

Superior soundtrack, Jesse. And often nicely synced to the machine's movement. And pleasant enough that I do wonder what the audio tracks were! Natural sound is suitable when the video runs at 1x, but the music helps at the higher speeds, and with drone video.

[@silentepsilon888]

15:15 ... I would have bet 15 bucks that truck is stuck in that mud but man, it pulled right out. Besides I find it so cool that you used the recycled concrete from the Tappan Zee Bridge. Now when people pull up to the lot and later to the house, the owner can ask them ....... How was your drive over the Tappan Zee Bridge? Great conversation starter and what a nice touch having a driveway made from the material of such a great (former) historic monument of highway construction.

thanks, yea I do need a skid steer. They are so much money to get a good one though, I want to skip the wheeled skids and go right to tracked. But 20k seems to be where they start, even as older machines. I can work that tractor and get the same things done, its just a little longer to turn around, but the 3 point hitch is a bonus that cannot be accomplished with a skid steer. I didnt show it much but that rake on the back helped alot with taking out the loose roots on the surface.
