Cutting Down A Circle Driveway

- Cutting down a circle driveway. Back at the big slab house and the homeowners want to lower the grade of the circle driveway to save on having to put a retaining wall along the edge of it. I cut the grade down almost 2' to change the angle of the drive. I was able to get a couple of trucks to start hauling off the spoils. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #cuttinggrade

Guess that's the bucket to have on this job! (I'm seeing a Silver ford out front) I really like that circular thing in front of the house! Owners saved on the wall but I hope they had to pay for all your efforts cuz they can't make up their mind. Nice job *BRANDON & CO* !!!
Yeah it’s a nice looking house. Oh they did they pay well so I don’t mind the changes. Appreciate you watching
From storm cleanup to back to the old "Change Order" job. I was looking forward to getting a glimpse of the house - it's big, for sure. I can't believe you got that many loads out of there, but you did a nice job of saving that stone - that looked to be a good truckload anyway.
lol yep. It’s a good size area so several loads came out. Your right I had about one truck load of base rock left over.
I will say that I believe the front does look better since you cut it down, but I can't believe you drained their pool in the side yard. Lol.
I think it does too. 🤣 yeah I guess I could have left that
I drove by that job the other day. Looks nice!
Thank you! It’s shaping up
The change order house strikes again.
🤣 yep
Indeed but they pay for EACH CHANGE!
Wasn’t this the homeowner that couldn’t decide what he wanted on the house and you had to redo different things before he finally kinda was OK with it.any bets he changes his mind on the driveway again.great video.just keep doing your thing.be safe.have you finished up your parents house.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Yep same house 🤣 they love the change orders but they pay well and are always pleased with what I do so I can’t complain. Appreciate you watching
From my experience, when a customer agrees to pay you for doing the same job twice, they couldn't figure out any way under the sky to blame you for it. Plus it shows you are working for the right builder. There's a lot satisfaction just in that. Another positive is you didn't dig down to some unusable layer of clay to use for the base. Silver linings.
I agree it’s what they wanted. They seem like very visual people so they have to see how it’s going to look before they can make a decision. Yes I was glad to still have a nice sub base for driveway.
Great work as always!
Thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc You are very welcome!
Those camera angles in cab and out of cab were great. As you were grading out that edge by the house I was seeing the high spots and saying, he’s going to go back over that and that. You did just that. I know cameras don’t show it all that great sometimes but those angles were great. I could also see what you were looking at on driveway about cutting it down some more. Great work on the driveway and video.
Thank you! You’re right the camera has to be in just the right spot to show grades. I lucked out it was this time 🤣
I remember when you cleared that lot not too long ago--that house went up quick !!
Yeah it wasn’t all that long ago. They are moving right along
Im here 👍🇺🇸
*SO THE BEAT GOES ON* !!!
Tedious work for you and the excavator... How long did it take to complete? How much would you charge for this work being done? Great video and content!
I think I had about 15 hours from start to finish on cutting it down and putting the rock back. I think it was around $4500 with the trucking
@@eliteearthworksllc thanks for sharing.... And you still are a one man band I see....
@@aaronburford5701 oh yeah I will always be a one man band
Theyre gonna have to add steps to the entry now
Yeah they may even put a ramp they are an older couple
Wow! Your excavator skills to cut it down 18 inches is phenomenal! Is this something you've done before or is the trial and error strategy? This is the type of project I would like to see in person.... Just saying....
Thank you! Yes I’ve done stuff like this before you just pick a spot and cut to the depth you want
@@eliteearthworksllc Great Job and content to share as usual!
@@eliteearthworksllc Remind me, where are you based at again? You do a great job of responding no matter the time of day.

Grass seed will take right off in that dirt!….curious to know how much that excavator weighs?….wanted to get one that size, but the prices of used equipment is ridiculous….new is outrageous!….this economy is terrible!….not the right time, right now!….maybe after November!
It’s 37,000lbs yeah equipment is really high. When I bought this machine in 2020 is was $199k now it’s $220k crazy
