- ONE SIMPLE MISTAKE can cost you all the profit on a job. What could that one thing be?
Did i estimate wrong? did i just drop the ball? No, i had to many man hours there and left 1 piece of concrete. We still make a few bucks on this job but didn't make as much as we would like.

Thank you for all your in-depth videos of your jobs. Lessons learned the hard way are lessons never forgotten, and I am glad to say that as I progress with my business, I learn from my own mistakes and from people like yourself who take the time to acknowledge and present to us the lessons learned in your business, which has helped me tremendously with my business! Thanks, T!
That's, actually, a pretty garden/landscape. Can't wait to see what develops!
First of all, great video, thanks for sharing. It’s a sign of strong character that you can share your mistakes and help others learn from them.
That being said, if you caught the elevation difference in the process, why didn’t you pour an additional 2” or so of concrete as part of your flatwork pour to make up the elevation?
You hit the nail on the head about ‘trusting’ the homeowner. Doing so will fuck you over every time.
Because he doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about
The pavers in this video looked SICK
you got some good workers man
Brooooo where is the final walk through! I didn’t even get to admire the finished product !
Thanks for the video! Good work T!
I have learned so much with your videos T
Great job I really appreciate all the info you gave us..
You have another goat gang member next Friday 🎉
Great short and sweet old school type video Tigren 👍
Am sorry but when you said he got you to save him money I just knew he was from that part of the world Jajjaja i been doing this way too long
yesssss sir! Welcome to Silicon Valley California!!!!!
Lol he's honest about his Click Bait titles...... I approve
Nice to see this videos again love ancle t
I love watching your channel T. Im a renovator and I learn something new from your videos every week! Thanks for the awesome channel/content 👍💪
Very, very nice! Thanks
Your guys do such amazing/efficient/beautiful work that i hope theyre very well taken care of. Eso es todo raza
I enjoyed the short video Keep up the good work
Those hammers are awesome. Keep rockin'.
Don't they have permeability requirements for rain? In PA houses can't cover more than a certain percentage of the total property.
Love all your videos! Keep up the great work!
Damn! So was this job fixed price? Or did you just have a budget number and worked hourly? I will always go hourly with demo . Do you ever use a zip level when estimating?
Could you tell me what material was used to grout/tuck point the flagstone? It was nice and bright white, looked very good.
Project came out amazing! To conclude you didn't lose any money at all. You said it yourself the excavator didn't fit. An extra pallet of mortar couple hundred bucks more. If you had 4 extra guys more then that was poor planning and the project lacked guidance. If you hired independent non licensed guys by the day, believe me they know how to make a job last until the next landscaper is ready for them. If the customer is happy this job will land you more work. You came out on top.
t, i wana tear out concrete w dynamite. let me know if u wana colab on it
😂
SO the outside now is worth more than the house by 2x.. (notice the basic home in backyard, Yep.. Comps for area... the guy is now buried in.... yep.. concrete and stone!!
Flag stone and natural tile look mint. 250k is wildly awesome. I’d be so much wealthier if my biz was in the state of California. FR
Not necessarily! Everything from labor to gas to materials are much more expensive. Margins are pretty similar unless you can Jack up the rates for wealthy clients, which is a possibility, but not always the case
Final product looks great 👍
I made a mistake on job couple weeks ago same thing I took responsibility for my mistake the job it took more time than I expected more materials because I screwed up at the begging but I learned from that mistake never giving discount to anybody 😂
It's a shame. On the positive side, it looks beautiful. Great design and execution. 👏
All that hardscape looks great 👍
What was the total spent on labor?
Can I get a break down
On how much total on labor. And how the guys are paid per hr or per day.. or how you paid them..
And then the profit..
Breakdown on cost of materials..
You could have rented a mini x with a hammer for $ 1,500.00. Hammer and load out at the same time, production
Just by looking at that video, that is a $350,000 $400,000 project. Not 250.
what size ditch vvitch do you like Tiger?
My biggest struggle, what's the best way to find crews or to hire guys to install pavers and landscaping. Guys that have experience, I can sell plenty if jobs I just need the crews?
Be honest if the workers cost you a lot better run because you are not earning much money, if the labor you pay a lot is because you do not know how to do your accounts.
Oops looks like the second mistake made was the large broken tile you left in place about 2ft from the front door entrance at 7:05 mark. bet the customer didnt like that one much.
thanks for the time lapse T
I gotta say that I'm super disaapointed that you didn't show the finished product here. Otherwise create content!

Stone work looks nice.
rookie move. I'm taking applications.
Regardless of the error, that job is beautiful !!! You guys did a fantastic job !!!
We don't install Hardscape flagstone because we don't do concrete.
But, it cost $45 sq.ft. for Hardscape flagstone 20 years ago. I think your flagstone rate might be too low.
I charge $25 per.sq.ft plus materials for flagstone soft install.
Either way, a beautiful job !!
Agree. Should have been 55-60 a square
@@TigranGertz Sometimes when you become super successful like you are, you forget the ground level.
I was talking to the owner of Bay Cities Landscape yesterday at Lane irrigation. I was surprised to find out that my paver rates are 25% higher than his. He's raising his rates now too.
What is the email I want to film for you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are the best youtuber in the world
Always save money for the customers. I try to put myself in the customers shoes and think about how I can scam or pull a fast one on the contractor. Basically how I lose on every job is I only bill for materials. So i might make 200 a day but I easily spend that on 4 sheets of plywood. Two bags of grasss. Then I have to make sure I leave several dollars for gas. I can never cover my overhead and I end up having to get a job where I don’t have to buy the material. This way I can save some dough, buy some tools and prepare myself for the next time I give someone a deal.
It costs me so much money to work landscaping or a construction project that when I’m working it comes out to 1- 10 dollars a hour. Verses minimum wage is over 10. I work as a mechanic making 25 a hour to be able to get these deals over to the customers. So be happy your able to help the customer on this job. They will be excited to know you took a little loss and the guys were still paid.
*however I just wanted a clickbait title
