Pond Dredging Is Done!

[@calibre97]

That's our pond! I live in that community! Great work and now it looks soooooo much better with the deeper pits by the drainage instead of the muck and swamp it wa.

[@earlsmithson4749]

Chris, those leaf blowers just guarantee you a life of security. Another great job and ground restoration.

[@korton3665]

Awesome video Chris I can't wait to see the videos of the veterinarian place Moving some rock

[@warrenotey8258]

Dump it in her!

[@orionfixr7713]

Around my place they just blow it out in the street down wind of course . Whatever doesn't find its way into the next guys yard goes down the storm sewer then the city comes and vacs. it out only to be repeated the next time . I'm surrounded by jerks !

[@cyndikarp3368]

@@korton3665 I would love to see the footage of the rock blasting.

[@tracydavis3149]

Beautiful job on this pond. Love your videos Chris.

[@phillipmclellan8722]

Did the young boy with his granddad come back to have a tour of the machines? Great job bye the way.

[@davidhughes1634]

Great job Chris,the before n after shots are amazing,👍

[@scottelliott5934]

Saturday morning in rainy England UK, sat with a mug of tea watching Chris work his magic. 👍🏻

[@lindaseto2386]

I was a meticulous operator too. Look how nicely that Little Rock rolled down the embankment 🤗

[@marcwohlmayer7897]

🤣😍

[@johnnyholland8765]

Chris is so easy on the 220 at 13:35 you can hear the gentle pitter patter of the tracks as he moves that topsoil. He also leaves the more complicated decisions like where to blow the leaves to other people and he "just digs the dirt". Wish I had the material he cleaned up out of that road in my driveway...

[@johnapel2856]

I want you to know how much I enjoy watching you do your thing. I always enjoy watching someone do something well, and you do your work well. I mean that. Whether it's a welder, carpenter, baker, athlete... whoever, when someone does what they do WELL, it's fun to watch. Thanks, and Woof to Winston.

[@johnsmick211]

Another great job completed. Now to give everything a good bath and new grease.

[@allanholiday1617]

Great project, beautiful result and very unique approach to the pond. I'd really like to hear about how you put a bid together and explain it to the client. Permits, plans, yards removed, hours .

[@tomswindler64]

Great looking job,surprised how fast you were able to finish project.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Very nice work. Played with it like a master. I've an uncle that teaches jail inmates and also juvenile detention centers (and others) how to work these big machines from excavators/graders to bobcats, so they can find work afterwards down here in Aus. I had the chance to start working with big machinery when I was prompted about 40 years ago, but loved my job working in a pub at a fraction of the pay rate of the gold mine. So many choices in life sometimes. I still love watching someone work with them regardless of my career choices. I've had other choices since, one to work with horses, shoeing and making saddles, instead I stayed with electrical. Life is too short to learn everything we want to learn. Too late now, illness struck me down, but still love to watch. Keep up the great work you do and show the world what you do.

[@pqworks9019]

You did such a great job throughout this entire project!!!!!!! It sucks to see that after all of that hard work you did, those landscapers dumped the leaves into it! I loved the drone shots at the end!!!!!!!

[@stephengarner9109]

I have only just discovered Chris, so have spent the past few days endlessly watching these videos, his expertise is mesmerising. What an artist! I have a question though if anyone can answer it. Whenever a pond is done, straw is scattered on the banks and surrounding area. I know that straw "cleans" the water, but what is the purpose of it being spread on the banks? If anyone could spare a moment to let me know, I would be most grateful. I'm from "over the pond" so it's not something we really see here. Thanks!

[@cthybrgss1]

Love the drone shots. Looks great Chris. Thank you for sharing.

[@george8873]

Would be easier just to run the mower over the leaves and break them down into small pieces for fertilizer for the grass. The pond turned out great.

[@lloydholt6511]

Cheaper for labor as only one mower would be required.

[@mikeseguin6443]

I have yet to see a mess left behind with any of your Projects.Looks like someone with a lot of pride in his work was working there.👏🏼👏🏼🤝👍

I’d Bet any amount of💰you consistently Exceed your Customers Expectations. NO question. 👍

[@leoslandscape24]

I owned a landscaping company in south Carolina and those fellow landscapers are doing it the wrong way. if I do that I will get fired immediately

[@Stratos53100]

So would i, i would have been on the phone with the project manager for a heads up..just sayin...

[@greg9403]

It whats happens when you use the bosses two sons. Poor job, pay for for a full day. Complain they don't get payed enough.

[@williamd6967]

Y'all know their only doing what they allowed to do hell everyone can see them f...... Up management don't care.

[@jellyhead77]

I worked in landscaping for 36 year would never have blow leaves in to a pond they could have blown into the treees behind then heance creating mulch for 🌳

[@claudiomezzetti1693]

Complimenti !!!! Bellissimo lavoro! È' bello vedere i tuoi video. Saluti da Italia. Buone Feste a tutti Voi.

[@Dimythios]

Looks very nice. Very professional. I have total 40+ doing construction work. Am jealous as we had all jury rigged equipment and shovels to do what you guys can do now. But it is nice to see someone that takes pride in doing their work with their hands.

[@timbokun3845]

I just dig the dirt, they blow the leaves. Fill it up. Fill it up!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rangepro]

Dam, every job you do, you do it right!!.............5 stars!

[@FSEAirboss]

Soon what you cleaned out will be the deep end it looks like! Amazing how much more could be done, but that would be a ton of money to do.

[@MrsTnRebel]

👍🏻 Blowing leaves back into the pond..= Job security..lol Who beside me enjoyed watching all the little mud balls roll back down the hill like they were escaping being smushed into the ground... hahaha

[@cathiwim]

Me! Like they were saying, quick, roll this way and you wont get smushed!

[@1Jaxcin]

I was thinking the same thing! Lmao😂😂😂

[@2badger2]

Reminded me of "Dust Bunny's" running away from the vacuum cleaner ...

Chris what a beautiful job, you take a pile of crap and make it look great. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

So, did grandpa and grandson come visit today to say goodbye? Nice job all the way thru. On to the next one!!

[@marclawrence715]

Love the Before and After shots.

[@IR-nq4qv]

Chris, the view is everything!!! I love where you have the camera mounted, it gives me a sense of what's going on...I never sat on the roof of an excavator before...its scary as hell. At one point..., I almost fell out of the chair and thank god I only dropped my false teeth on the mud mat under my chair, they didn't break. Man if I only had that bucket hooked up to my chair.. the schit I would do.... stay safe brother see you on the next job!👍👍👍

[@batterpm11]

Grading with a mini like that isn’t something you master overnight, awesome work 👏

[@unclespongehead]

Call me a light-weight but I enjoy Chris' mini footage the most. The control he has on the Yanmar bucket is sweet!

[@silverado2500]

Better person then I. I would have yelled at the landscapers HEY I JUST CLEANED ALL THAT CRAP OUT OF THERE, STOP PUTTING LEAVES BACK INTO THE POND.

[@ferky123]

Job security.

[@kittty2005]

The biggest industry up here is landscaping and excavating, there's gravel pits everywhere, and I've watched dozens of landscapers, none have taken the time to artistically smooth the ground as you do ,thumbs up to you.

[@johnmolloy7177]

hi chris at the end you walk round with your phone/cam to video so proud and enjoy what you have done..yes chris with you all the time and you do a great job of the ponds i mean the state some are when you arrive and at the end you have brought them alive looking perfect friend ide be proud as well and i can see you enjoy what you do and have done so well at the finish. yes they look fab at the end ...john england..u.k...

Great job to Chris and all the guys working there. "I just dig the dirt" is one cool statement to print om a shirt

[@AquaPeet]

I hope you get a lot of praise from the people that walk in the park and the people who hired you, you did a fantastic dredging job AND an excellent cleanup! Very, very quality work! Almost like you're a pro, haha!

[@williammatthews2948]

Really like the before and after drone footage. Those guys blowing leaves into the pond could have used a mulching mower to get rid of the leaves instead of leaf blowers. It shows not many people give a crap about their work.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Great Job Chris !! That turned out really nice !! I got to laughing when you was talking about the guys blowing the leaves back into the pond, i was thinking the same thing when you said, look at that shit !! I'm sure who ever paid you ,is not going to be happy with the leaf blowing right back into what they just paid a lot of money to be cleaned and fixed !! I know I wouldn't ... But, Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening.... Prepare for the Rain in a day or so Chris !! It's starting right now here in Western Ky. On too the Next !!

[@eugeneschamm9410]

I agree Chris another beautiful job and again I agree about them SOB landscapers they should be strung up it goes on everywhere's

It’s amazing how much deeper it is now, that’s a lot of mud gone.

No matter how good one does a job unless the finish looks great they will not be satisfied. They don’t appreciate the work you put in because they cannot see what your done. Chris you are a inspiration to me as is my son and daughter who have the same work ethics unlike many others today. I look forward to see you download each day.👏👏👏👍👍👍😃😃😃😃
