The competition was nice, which is decently rare.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I agree with you brother!

[@catalintopala7325]

Yeah, they seem like some pretty cool guys. Awesome video👌

[@JackofHaulTrades]

@catalintopala7325 I appreciate the support brotha! 🫡

You needed to dig out the bottom of the water puddles, and rebuild the crown on the drive to shed the water. Think of the puddles like a bowl of cereal. When a car drives over it will splash out all your fill material. It would also be good to cut the ridge off the outer edge of the drive to allow water to drain off.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate your master advice sir! Thank you 🫡

[@user-hm4ms2uk4m]

If the driveway is going to remain gravel,a crown is necessary right?But if it is a base for concrete dose there need to be a crown?

[@MotivationConnection-gd2sv]

@@user-hm4ms2uk4m no it should be graded flat.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

The water in that hole wasn't a problem, but for those to not come back again you need to dig up/rough up the bottom of them. Like a lot of fines are compacted in there and if you just fill them with loose gravel they come back over time But yeah, that yard needs some work with the drainage regardless lol

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thank you so much for your input. I appreciate it! 🤝🫡

[@LoadedDownJunkRemoval]

The Job looks Nice! Sucks you had to wait for the dump truck but thankfully he knew how to spread!!! all in all your customer sees and appreciates you and the ATTENTION TO DETAIL!! Also you completed the job!!! On to the next one!!! TTYL Nick

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir it was a last-minute request with a 1 day deadline, and I made it happen! 💪

[@smackdown763]

I love everything man content truck and equipment big fan but sir we need to get you into some nice breathing pants sir give some rooms to the pebbles. Much love

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Haha, yessir! I need some of those pants. I'm literally dying in this heat 🥵😂 I appreciate all the love and support man it means a lot to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🫡

[@tractorworkandmore411]

Nice to see young guys hustle! It’s always good to see! As far as the driveway, I would of probably scoop up the good material from there then make a small trench for water to get out, take the dirt from the right side of the yard and fill the pot hole back up with it. If you take enough dirt out of the right side, it should bring the elevation down and water should naturally run into the culvet therefore preventing a big pool of water on the side, but again that’s if there no utilities line around that area. A landplane with a tilt attachment would work great for a project like that. Carolina Attachment LLC makes a great Landplane or just rent mine!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yessir this yard needs quite a bit of grading... thanks for the feedback 🫡

[@Fayettepropertysolutions]

I have a few people down this way that are “famous” in the area for different reasons. However, I still hear bad things about them and still win jobs from under them regularly. Don’t let the social media aspect of things dissuade you from pushing forward. There’s TONS of work out there those guys are missing out on that people like you are scooping up every single day. You’re doing good bro. Keep up the good work

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the encouraging words brother! I'm going to come 🤝 one of these days! 🫡💪

[@beniamintopala6154]

Always great to network with ppl around you

[@JackofHaulTrades]

💯% agree brotha!

[@joeydalia2572]

You have to have a smooth bucket to do that type of word. Also you have to cut the edges off the driveway. You really needed to cut the lower part of the driveway off and moved it to the upper side. That place would be a perfect candidate for a harley rake.

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Yeah, I wish I had a harley rake but they are so expensive 😫

[@fuelup7504]

[@Fayettepropertysolutions]

Also on the driveway, I think you dug down low enough to disrupt those potholes personally. Like others said you gotta get down and break them up for the repair to last a while! However, gravel driveway maintenance is a constant thing that always needs to be done, so maybe that’ll be a job you come back to in a year and can make more money on again

[@JackofHaulTrades]

Thank you for the feedback brother! I did this job for some of my favorite realtors! They give me a ton of work, I guess time will tell ..

[@barki1295]

Could’ve drained that puddle quick by just cutting a grove in the grass side to drain, scooping it will never get all the water out thus leading to another pot hole eventually

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I appreciate the tip and the feedback boss! 🫡

[@rodneyconaway1600]

Andre killing it again grindon I like it. Always try to have a good relationship with your competitors because they might get a job that they need you on and you might get a job that you might need them on you gotta work together so make a pediator's think it's a cut throat business but you work together and you make it work and at the end of the day you got money in your pocket to pay the bills and that's the bottom line because (Stone Cold said so)💪🏼😅 I don't know why I said that last part🤔 im OG 62 years old today. Hustle to your haters ask if you're hiring. I like watching your videos you're young you're hungry.👍
