Rebuilding a Collapsing Driveway and Retaining wall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лип 2019
- The retaining wall that's holding up the driveway is collapsing. We use the Excavator with Grapple to build a Boulder retaining wall but First we have to saw cut out part of the old driveway. Problem is the wall is also built on top of underground utilities and the stumps have wrapped their roots around the lines.

Roll off containers and a Rolloff truck are quite useful in this situation. They can bring a 20yd dumpster, leave it behind and go do other work. Then when the dumpster is full it can bring you a second dumpster loaded with base material leave it and pickup the loaded dumpster.
Don Hanson ya i dont like wrecking a lawn an puting mud on it. Im a landscaper an grade houses. When i do a job like this. Just haul material away an bring what u need as needed. Time is money. Dumpster or a dump truck. Instead of wrecking lawn. Making more work for your self.
@@codered5431 Exactly! Handling material twice is a waste of money.
I know that my home will require this type of work. When I saw the shrubs being shaken off and placed on the lawn, it was a situation of "gees... more work I have to do". Wouldn't like to have to do extra work myself after paying someone to do the complete job.
If I was the neighbor, I wouldn't be too happy seeing the roots to the beautiful pine tree. It's just a matter of time before it starts to die.
Did anyone watch the video where he explained that they were doing all the landscaping?!
"gonna play devil's advocate" in that it would save a lot of time on cleanup
I love the way you guys tackle jobs .. seems like an environment that encourages learning wish I could work for you
Thanks Andi!
always mention not using fabric behind walls, why now?
Looks like he’s practicing for one of those grab a toy prize games at a restaurant or theater! 🤣
I wish you showed the building process of the wall. Not just how they demolished it.
cant wait to see the end result!
thanks for the videos as always :)
Thank you Robert!
Stan....enjoy watching your videos. There so great & FUN. Been on tough jobs like this before. Have seen an operator taking out stumps/roots by cable/internet (utility lines) & they caught one & ripped them right out of the ground....oops. Accidents do happen, & was a tough site to be on. Having the right equipment for the job at hand is key....they probably should have used something different; but sometimes....you just don’t have a choice.
Thx for sharing

Stan is the man, great content!
so how would that work for paying damages as a company?
would you factor that into the contract and say we'll try our best, but if anything goes wrong the client is paying for the utility repairs?
Dan J Wasn’t my company, & I was on the site visiting a friend just watching. Have done some work in this field, but am not an expert by any means..... Would have to say that some contracts may have a “accident/damage” clause etc....but that’s why ALL companies should carry insurance; b/c it won’t be the home owner paying for damages....it will be the company(that’s my take). Cheers🙂
hey stanely i am a professional soundman. when you are doing the voice overs for your episodes try recording in your closet. all the clothes absorb any echo kinda like a sound booth. doing it in your car works to, when its not running of course. and in a pinch hiding under your comforter works to. i have used all those techniques for national news segment voice overs multiple times and it always sounds amazing.
Thanks Ryan- Is the voice over bad?
@@Dirtmonkey Sorry to comment on a year old video but I don't notice anything wrong with it...especially with all the noise of the video masking it; I can hear you. Thats all I care about.
You have excellent crew 👍🏻 always good work ☝️
For sure! Thanks !!
Wow sorry Stan but this one was hard to watch , the guy in the X was a waste of time
Get that man a real bucket and thumb for the excavator
Yeah I would’ve probably pushed the blocks with the excavator thumbs and scooped them up with a 3’ bucket.
That job came out great, but watching him trying to pick up every brick was painfully inefficient. One guy throwing bricks in bucket while machine pulls apart wall would've been a lot quicker. I understand some people can't or don't want to lift especially in heat but time is money. And you can't get time back.
That Volvo skid steer looks exactly like a JCB!!!!!! Anyone else notice that? Wonder is JCB stole the design from Volvo or vise versa?
nice job love rock wall
Thank you !!
i need more videos like this
Hope you liked it, thanks for watching Dylan !
Very informative and entertaining.... thanks ...keep em comin. Craig. Pa. Guy
Thanks Craig, glad that you like it !
Good stuff
Thank you Ronald!
Nice work..messy job site tho.
Could you have not just left the current retaining wall in place and build block wall with stone clad right next to the boundary line ? take top cource of, back fill after and properly bridge stumps, lot less work no large machines required and would look a lot neater and tidy, just a thought or two
That was painful watching the excavator work.
shawn engstrom why
@@maxclement1502 It's the internet. There is always an "expert." ("Experts" are 99% of the time not experts, and are usually not even in the same field of work, and/or have never done the task at hand.) It was good work though. Is it as good as someone who sits in an excavator 8h/day 5 days/week? No. Was it good for an occasional operator who doesn't have line of sight? Yes.
@@maxclement1502 a bucket would have been much faster and easier. That was like the game where you put money in and guide a crane to grab a prize.
Big question, what did u charge for this job?
Must be union. 1 block at a time with an excavator? Could have been done faster by hand lol
Lookin good.. have you every tried out one of Derek’s (Cmp) hydro grapples?
I have always wanted to run one of those claws
I would look in getting an ‘Iron wrist’ for the excavator
How many rip cords has he broken starting the saw from the very bottom position? lol I would flip out if I saw a guy pulling it up like that.
How do you get such good employees. I own my own company in Chicago and its real hard to find a solid driver.
Its hard everywhere
But you are handling the material twice by not loading it right into a truck.
Andrew Zielinski
But there not paying for the driver to sit around while they’re demoing.
ive seen his guys do that before, i hate handling things more than i have too.
Hiw do you like the skid street tweels?
Is thst volvo easy to get in an out of
So for working from behind the wall with the excavator, what about using camera(s)? Say put one on a tripod right about where you were standing shooting this video and streaming it to a tablet within the excavator, that the guy in the excavator can see directly what he's doing.
Wow that clam shell does not look fun to operate , I much rather have bucket with thumb
Why was there no video of the wall being built?
I would think it would be expensive to run that big excavator machine versus doing some of it by hand
That thing is sweet!!
Hey you don't get your messages I messaged you??
Thanks Mike
Question... is class 5 2a? I’ve never heard anything called class 5 before
What happened to your bobcats?!?
I think it's a bit overkill with some of the machines.
Yea one dude could throw the wall stones into the loader bucket, the excavator seemed slow
I thought u said fabric behind a wall is a no no. In another. Video
I would have taken down that wall with the machine but put the bricks in a wheelbarrow or just carried them. Would have been faster and a workout but definitely a pain in the ass
Where's the power plunger video???
Tim going by "feel" ya can tell he done this a couple times.
wheres the battery saw
Would it not have been faster to just pull the mini skid right up to the wall and toss the old bricks in the bucket by hand
Easier? No. They're 40 lbs each (18.5kg). And they've been in place a long time. So getting them "unstuck" from their position takes a crowbar and a bit of muscling.
@@xenonram i think he means use the excavator to knock wall down but then pull the ski d up and handload. instead of having ex pickup two blocks and take more time doing that
We couldn't work from the front. But yes that would have been much easier.
I personally think it would be better to have guys loading the good block from the wall on a pallet and reuse the block, instead of destroying the block with the machine.
It's difficult to do that. If you're not in that business of dealing used masonry units, you've got to store them and harder yet, find a person who wants them or a job to use them on (again, a person who wants them).
@@xenonram I agree, but he said he works with habitat for humanity and that stuff usually will be needed for repairs.
What I would do if there were no utility lines under ground with a hollow block wall along a driveway 4 feet above ground high with 6 inch wide block is get 2 inch outer diameter galvanized steel by 12 feet long using the cantilever building theory with stone in the blocks and one or two courses of block below with cement in them having the pipe 8 feet below ground making sure I'm well below the frost line having block pavers along the wall about a foot from the driveway to the wall so if the concrete or asphalt driveway packs down or cracks in the first 15-20 feet from the foundation pull the paver blocks up cut the fractured section out add base material re pave or pour new concrete with a bit of slope for water drainage put the paver blocks back and done
So much slop in that machine
yeah . its a bit loose but not to bad yet
Water sound
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I got nothing.
2nd
Thanks for viewing Austin !
It's too massive for the neighborhood and unnecessary expensive. It also does not match the architecture. It should have been a dry-stacked retaining wall. Fabric and geogrid? You could probably save your customer a few $$$$ by being honest. Those boulders are not going to move ever, there's just not enough force , even if there's a tsunami. The thing is that a good dry-stacked wall can not be done from the cabin of a big-ass excavator and the dude does not look like he can handle that kind of labor. Love Stan's videos but this is an ugly job.
I agree with everything but your wasting a ton of time with that machine. My guys could demo much faster by hand while I build behind them.
first :P
Thank you !
it's laughable
This camera work makes me nauseated. I’d love to watch but can’t
moving stuff around alot, like your guys are milking this job. lol.
