That Ruckus Rake has really upped your game on cleaning up pond jobs for final touches. They looked great before, and now it's even better.

Always amazes me how Chris’s projects turn out. The Cadillac of contractors.

Well if ya know what ya doing and plan it proper that's generally how jobs go it's when you have no plan or idea what your doing is when jobs go south

A pity he never shares the overall cost of his projects. We don't need to know his personal income, but it would put things in perspective how much different jobs are quoted.

[@djdarksidejungle559]

@@patrickh4540 depending on what size digger ya want really can be anything from 160 quid for a mini digger or a grand for a big 360 for a day and then cost of driver that's another 200 - 300 a day and if he's doing it as a package I would reckon as a plant hire and driver business he can make anything from 500 a day to 2000 a day depends

@@patrickh4540 and if he's got other machines and drivers then who knows but as a solo guy he's prob clearing 250grabd a year easily as a solo plant and driver hire just on his own but if he's got a few machines and drivers working for him then I would speculate he's making a decent living anyway out of it

Chris has an awesome work ethic and pride of ownership. Every job is like he’s working on his own land.

[@excavatortrucking]

Great video; thank you to the creators of this great video.

[@user-ln4iv4dz5j]

When you do a job Chris, you mean business. I'm impressed with the transformation of this pond. I've watched your work for over a year now and I can honestly say that you always do a good job and go the extra mile.

[@ronaldheit196]

Another awesome pond restoration by Chris with a seriously satisfied customer. The drone footage really gave a good perspective of how beautiful that area is. On to the next job for Chris and us subs to sit back and enjoy watching.

[@greendeere777]

Chris you are the epitome of what a contractor should be! Absolute perfection and a real enjoyment to watch! Can't wait to see you on the next job's! God Bless from SE Ga!

Beautiful job, Chris. You make everything look better. Thanks for sharing this little project, it was fun to watch. Each project may have a similar goal and the joy is watching you solve each puzzle in its own unique way.

[@robinparkes988]

[@robertconreux8079]

Great job! Looks beautiful hope we get to see it with grass pretty and green! Thanks for the vids!

[@paulcooper9135]

I love the finish that Ruckus rake leaves at the end of a project! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@heatherlane9270]

Neat completion and the pond will be more serviceable for the owner. Proof of the saying 'If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well'.

[@AllstarVentures]

Would be interesting to see how much the borrow pit settles if you get a chance to stop by there in a few months. Nice transformation, as usual 👍🏼

[@donprater2754]

What I think makes You stand out is. You take the time too manicure Your work… Great job Chris!

[@JimmyDCarter]

You did a great job with this pond. It looks a lot better now. It will also be better when it is fully finished.

[@sharonmiller6436]

I'm hoping you mean that it will look great once the grass comes up and the pond refills.

[@bradleylampo2535]

I just find it therapeutic watching you run heavy equipment. Thank you Chris ❤❤❤

[@keithneal3253]

Looks like a new pond. Work of art. Well done Chris, another awesome project and another fantastic video. 🙌👍

[@Stratos53100]

Well said, the landowner must be thrilled for the transformation

[@terryrogers1025]

Pond and dam look awesome, actually a quite a lot of clearing and grading for the size of the pond site. Thanks for the update sir, enjoyed the series.

[@FatKidBrody]

I do like that Ruckus Rake and the finish you get with it. I like it so much better than the other one you tried. Just a much finer finished look.

[@Manoffire260]

Seeing that mud pit like that brought back nightmare memories of when I was 5 or 6 years old and walking farm fields at my grandparents. I was with my new dog and fell into a pit like that some waterline guys had left filled with mud, but covered over. I was up to my chest in goop and the dog went crazy and ran back to get my dad and grandpa (they definitely knew something was wrong!) and it took four people with ropes to get me out. I lost my pants, brand new cowboy boots, and I was nearly frozen. If it had been any deeper - I probably would have died.

[@matta3888]

I lost a pair of rubber boots in a muddy ditch. I was able to recover them when dried out.

[@user-gd4ex8sf4w]

Yep Barney's going to need a good wash job after this job😊

[@doritleis2773]

The Reorganization from this old Pond have You Phantastic to loose. The Dam widening, and the complete Rehabilitation from the Shore. The install from a Spillway and finish the Hole. Then Seed Grass. A Perfect Work, how You always all make. Thank for the Interesting Videos. 👌

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

I have to agree Chris, with that you have a beautiful piece of property, and what you did to clean up that pond, is awesome, but with the work you do, I would excpect nothing less from you then PERFECT! Once the grass grows back it will looking amazing. Thanks for all that you do Chris, and the hard work getting out these videos. Appreicated.

[@rickallen9382]

[@hirampritchard5588]

Always like to see the finishing touch of the Ruckus Rake. Perhaps a good name for this tool would be Uncle Ruckus?. Another great job.

[@bbrcummins1984]

The Ruckus Rake is quite the tool. Nice job Chris!

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

You are, without a doubt, the Pond Whisperer!

[@shitloveaduck]

Another nice job Chris! The pond is actually a good size, excepting the lack of depth, but if it works for the owner, that’s all that matters!! I think I would be putting up a fence around the borrow pit!! A person gets in a hurry because all heck is breaking loose elsewhere and drive right into it! Easy mistake to make. There’s 10+ ft of mud before bottom!! Just enough to keep livestock out as well, if necessary. Sure is a pretty pond, with the trees and location!! We just don’t have that many trees in my area and where they do exist, it can be hard to find a suitable location for a pond that doesn’t need to be lined with clay, or a full pond liner!! Not many can spend well over $1 million like BamaBass did!! 😂. Ouch!! Now that you talked about it, I’m looking forward to the job you have in conjunction with Justin!! 😊😊 Take care & stay safe, Eh!

[@scottfortune9016]

Such a big transformation on this one! Great job Chris!
