Great work! It was a pleasure to watch a professional at work with such attention to detail and proper use of equipment. It's refreshing to see this level of skill on a channel. Keep up the good work, and best of luck moving forward!
Thats funny. I have heard that comment more than once. Out here on the west coast it is very dry in the summer and dirt will turn into powder without water. For those that don't know, the water is needed for compaction and it acts as a lubricant of sorts to help settle the particles tight together (so I was told by a geotech engineer). Thanks for watching
Patrick how do you bid a job like this? What’s something like this cost? I’m just getting starting into excavation, I come from a crane and rigging background so dirt work is somewhat new to me…so any advice helps…great work btw!
Amazing work! I watch a few other channels, you are the first one I’ve seen that wet down the area and the material (rock) for the job. I think that is a great way to compact the road, I’ve seen major construction companies doing that. Again, great job!! New subscriber here.
Wetting down isn't done because it's not very useful unless you have rock with a lot of fines in it and you want to get a solid compaction. In this case I think it was appropriate. You can over wet the rock if you aren't careful though. I'm guessing the wetting down of the dirt is probably a local requirement. Hard to tell without being there, but I doubt wetting the dirt added any compaction improvement in those soil conditions. We rarely wet down.
Wetting down the dirt is needed here because otherwise the dirt turns into a dry powder on the surface which is not compactable. Then if gravel is laid over the top of that it turns to mud after the first rains. Too much water can be a problem for both dirt and rock. Great comment!
Patrick, you have a nice mix of equipment. You did a much better job on the culverts than was there. Does your dozer have a rear view camera? Good looking job...nice transformation! I'm sure it's very satisfying for you. You probably don't charge enough 😂
Nice job from one operator to another. Only thing I saw was you didn't compact that rock in lifts, That looks like 18" pipe to me. Should have done 3 6" lifts. Also, when rolling use the full throttle. That throttle is for your RPM's not your speed. You want maximum RPM's. I personally wouldn't vibrate until I made a pass or two. Vibrating isn't always useful on rock. I'm impressed, you've earned a subscriber.

Shoot dang one-man wrecking crew how lovely it is when you have the right equipment God bless you

Finally! Someone who waters, compacts and grades as it should be done ✅ 🎉

Thanks for the tips!
Nice work that will be like a hard top driveway.moving equipment ends up being a big part of the job lol
You got that right!
Great Job! Congrats on getting over 1000 subs... :):)
Thanks! I am grateful to be able to share with you guys!
Im latino and i can not stand the salsa in the back, besides that great work.
Sorry to hear that but thanks for watching! I try and play different music in the videos. I like all music.
@@sonomalandworks don’t be sorry, me personally I like hearing the equipment still subbed and liked though man keep up the good work!!!!
If they have kids, hat brim will be a pretty cool hill to slide down or jump a bike off of.
For sure!
Good quality job done. I see its not just about the money for you but quality. I think you should work on the camera quality pretty blurry at times.
Thanks and copy.
Musica muy terrible y unwatchable
Sorry to hear that.
