Glad a pro with a contractor license knows what he is doing and follows state rules and stuff. This guy is on top of things glad to see the things getting done the right way, keep up the great work man.
The new driveway looks quite steep, so not surprising the truck got stuck, but what surprised me was the little bobcat pulled it out up hill !!. I find it very satisfying watching your work, and the progress made.Thank you .
Kudos on digging the trench. It was a smart move and indicative of the way you work. A good engineer anticipates the problem instead of reacting after it has occurred. Let the critics put that in their pipe and smoke it.
Agree. Most people will not think about controlling the water and will dig down to to make a smooth driveway turning it into a trench with potholes. Good for job security but bad for the customers.
The drone shots of the end product are a really great addition to your videos man, it really shows a great production value.
I'll 2nd that, nice drone shots.
Thanks, ill try to take more drone shots to show the finished job from now on.
Absolutely!
@@AndrewCamarata Thanks, i find them very appreciated, especially when you rock that music on, same for timelapses :)
Plus the views of all the surrounding area and mountains is just beautiful. You live in an amazingly beautiful part of the world.
What a beautiful area that is. Most of New Jersey is nothing but highways, traffic, stress and 90 miles per hour.
Your work Level is 100% all the jobs you do. Thank you for a great work ethic.
I like the look from the drone too. It sure gives a nice look around and the driveway looks good.
Another really pro job Andrew, the drone over the finish is a nice touch. Keep them coming...Mike
Thanks, more coming soon.
Half the reason I watch your videos ,are the great audio mix you put on. Great job keep it up!
Andrew ... you should know by now, you have to take 'UA-cam Comments' with a grain of salt. You do GREAT JOBS at REASONABLE PRICES ... you've had good success and gained valuable knowledge and experience over the years, and from what I've observed, you have an abundance of (un)common sense which makes you a hard worker and problem solver. I would hire you in a split second !!! Keep up the great videos ... I'm a retired truck driver that appreciates a guy who works hard and uses his head to get things done. I drove for over 40 years and 5 million miles without an accident, and people tried to criticize the way I drove (especially dumbass dispatchers .. ha, ha) ... so I say, "proof is in the pudding" . You do great work ... and it shows !!!
now let that settle. then add another thick layer and it will all turn to pretty much a concrete like surface.
if people are complaining about the culvert pipe, perhaps they should watch one of your earlier videos of you driving over different types of pipe.
nice video dude. thanks for sharing.
Yeah, that's the plan. Probably going to use the driveway like that while the house is being built, than do a finish coat after.
Andrew Camarata why use the black tarp? What difference does it make?
Just curious to know
@@rronaldreagan The fabric prevents the stones and gravel from sinking into and mixing with the mud below
Great Job ‼️ Enjoy watching someone who knows how to operate equipment the way it was supposed to be used‼️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Thanks
Trench on the high side...brilliant...drone pilot skills...brilliant
I gravelled my driveway a number of times but after rain I would end up with mud and muddy potholes until our garden supplies store started stocking the fabric. Never had seen it before. Put it down and hand spread yet more gravel but never again have I had muddy spots. Even grass has grown up through it and it is solid as a rock. So glad someone discovered it..
"Construction Vehicle Do Not Follow" But but I'm going down this road too ;p

Is the truck driver lost 😉
Why is the sign needed?
Eri Si I think it’s to try to give the trucking company some limit to their liability when a big rock comes loose and smashes the car or motorcycle behind them. Some companies use the sign “ NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BROKEN WINDSHIELDS” “STAY BACK 200 FEET”. It’s BS and doesn’t excuse someone who fails to secure their load.
@@silvernatedogg Yeah it wouldn't be legally binding. A company can write whatever they want on a sign and put it on their trucks, doesn't mean it'll stick in court. It's the same thing with EULAs, a company can't just "make up it's own law" which circumvents real actual law.
@@erisi6204 I suspect that its function is similar to signs that say, "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you". A warning aimed more at drivers who might want to snuggle right up behind a big truck. The truck drive wants to be careful, but warning everyone doesn't hurt either and it probably helps a bit when the inevitable lawsuit comes up.
I always enjoy your video's you do the best you can do, and even more.. That's why your clients call you back, again and again..Another thing we ALL LOVE is when you finish a job you try to put in your lab's and that wonderful drone from above...That's the icing on the cake for all of us, Thanks, See Ya
Thank you , Andrew .
Theres nothing wrong with the culvert. If it was any deeper, every time it rained it would hold water and eventually fill with mud.
Thanks, I agree.
@@AndrewCamarata You're doing a good job all round Andrew, keep it up and ignore the know-alls that in reality know-bugger-all.
@@TheGeezzer right. Hes a great worker and very smart. If the haters think they can do better then let them prove it with actions instead of words.
Maybe the old metal ones needed to be deeper. But the plastic ones don't seem to mind one bit.
Culvert looked great, but as I'm from Maryland, code says 6" min cover, others might have been thinking that. Just my thoughts. Videos are great enjoy watching them. I can appreciate your quality control.
The culvert looks great ans nice job with the grading. Nothing like a track skid steer
Thanks. Yeah that machine is cool.
There is support all around the sides of the pipe. Therefore the pipe can’t just be squished. The only other way it could get crushed is from immense pressure from above to collapse the pipe in on itself. It is almost impossible for that to happen because of the structure of the pipe, because the top is an arch and can withstand a huge amount of weight. So yes, That depth would be plenty.
Yes I agree. I have had a few people tell me culverts I have installed weren't deep enough. Although I have never had a problem with one.
Unless its coming from someone who also installs them and has years of experience with it. Just ignore those people saying you're doing it wrong, let the status of your work speak for itself. Plus I've watched enough of your videos to notice you're not afraid to admit when you're wrong or you've messed up. Shows how smart and resourceful you are. Keep up the great work man. Excellent video quality also.
About the culvert pipe crushing: I've worked for a grading company for 14 years and the man I work for has been doing grading for 40 years. The rule of thumb we use is at least 8 inches of cover over culvert pipes. That includes concrete pipe and especially the plastic. It has the corrigatoin to make it stronger but I've seen it crush when it's only a small amount of cover. I've seen concrete pipe crush as well but it had a very heavy load on it with only about 2 inches of cover. Do it right or a little better than right so you don't have to fix a mistake for free and lose money is a good rule to follow as well. My boss man must know because hes had plenty of time and experience. You do great work for sure and I'm not trying to knock you or be disrespectful at all just offering some friendly advice. Love what you do and I'm headed toward working for myself as well. Keep up the good work! ❗👍
i use to work in the road building and maintenance industry ( as a foreman who has to know all the codes and regulation, state and federal ) and from all that i've seen here, all is with in code for driveways. To all the haters and know it all's out there on youtube know your regulation before you criticize and person for doing the job correctly.
Awesome work andrew coming all the way from big island hawaii.
Back in my day you would have been the "King of the Sandbox"with all the coolest Tonka toys....
I dont know why but your videos are relaxing to watch after working all day. Its cool to see the progression of this property.
Thanks. More videos on that site soon.
Culvert pipe needs a very small hump, a dip collecting water at highway entrance not good. Never seen plastic, except by you Andrew, I'd hire you in a second.
I like the way you call out idiots that have never done this type of work. I call em KEYBOARD WARRIORS. Lol
dont mind the haters/losers. they are jealous you are so good and successful. keep it up. I nenjoy the videos and learn something every time Thanks
Literally one of he only people I can watch work and not cringe at everything they do and have to think of a better way of doing the job. Keep the videos coming man!
That's amazing how you have on road tracks and you're doing off-road work
Back again to gets some satisfying AC entertainment, that entrance still looks great, it’s holding up nicely. Even though this was posted a while ago it’s alway great to see and hear you Andrew ✌️
WHAT Beautiful country view with the drone.Awesome.thanks sir
Thanks
How did I never see this one?? This is the site where you dug the foundation, and pumped out the basement, and unfroze your Bobcat ten times.... And the septic field, let's not talk about that....
Probably why later they were refusing to go down the driveway... The one guy probably told everyone else at the yard, don't go down there, I got stuck....
great job love the videos thanks have fun
Great video and quite a job. Miss the Levi though! Going up this drive must be quite a job in the winter snow. Come to think of it.....coming down might not be much fun either, unless you're on a sled. That was some quality job.
Fantastic job... I from Brazil ... I Like your Job!!!!
Thanks
I also loved how he used the rocks from the lot to add as to the drain that was an great idea
Re the culvert depth. There is always someone who knows more about what you are doing than you do. Disregard the armchair expertsl
@Derek Charette Know-alls yeah worlds full of em, whatever you do, wherever you go to do it, there's always some twat who knows how to do it bigger and better...I think its called bullshit ego in the inflated self-esteem dept!
What he does is get the job done and make quick work of it also.
Surely if it’s supported at the sides it physically can’t crush anyway as it has no room to expand that way,I hate all these UA-cam experts who know nothing
@@MrNeild123 exactly
But then there are those such as myself that have been Highway Designers for Decades. There are no armchairs in my office.
watching from Ireland , enjoying the vids Andrew :)
Im also watching from Ireland
@@alanmcgarvey6505 I'm 100% Irish watching from Florida!
Andrew, any Naysayers' about your work, are idiots ! ignore them. There are several youtubers that "know what they are doing", YOU are one of them!Always a great job , keep them coming. I still think you need a forestry mulcher, the barrel type, for your skid loader.
Thanks. Are they good, they're expensive though. I was thinking about getting a rotary cutter this year. Like a tractor brush hog, that goes on the front of the skid steer. What's your opinion on that?
Always people complaining about anything and everything, pay them no attention. Thank you for making great content.
On the culvert pipe, I think it's because you use good pipe. I like that double walled black ABS pipe like you used, and have had good luck with it too. But I've seen guys install cheap crappy single walled pipe that will definitely crush. Sometimes even if you install it deep enough.
Don't let the Naysayers bring you down Andrew comments are not needed anyway, arm chair quarterbacks are everywhere. Its easy to disable the comments.. Really like the drone shots also..
430 comments...I'll bet $10 not one a woman. Something about this kinda stuff guys just love. Skidsteers are pricey but super handy. Yup, drone shot at end was very nice. Nice job bro.
✋
I'm surprised no one said anything about the near face plant on your second trip across the pile from the first load. Had me laughing because I've been in that same boat. The seat was left with a permanent crease afterward 🤣🤣
You laid that culvert perfectly, once backfilled they become stronger and for the most part get alot stronger.
You have a good eye when making grade Andrew
so are you saying he makes the grade?
No I think he’s saying he’s on the level 👍🏼
He definitely Measures up, so we can Rule out the thought that doesn't.
I really like your tracked bobcat. it is very useful. it does take owner help, during very cold weather, by vigorous cleaning after evening, to be able to be used in the morning. but that would keep it from breaking, and since it is so dependable, and starts so well, even in very cold weather, that if it had a cab, like with a removable cab with plastic, so it would even be more comfortable in very cold weather, and would even benefit when plowing clients driveways during extreme cold, by putting a heater in the cab. even small honda's have small cabs, so as you get older, it doesn't wear you down prematurely.
Truck with a huge orange sign that reads "Construction Vehicle. Do not follow" and there goes Camarata running behind it with his camera!! Hahahahhaha
Andrew, I'm an Aussie but the drone shots are surprisingly effective. Just watching you and Red Poppie and a few others I can at least recognise what state I'm in without checking the atlas. Love the music/drones too.
LOVED the music on this one, and OMG seeing this again, was the place where you had that septic nightmare...Love your videos!! better than MOST programming on my cable!
hello, from Russia, Bro.
I love my Bobcat S185
Love the music in this video!
I was going to ask, but I read in your comments that your not finished and that you plan another layer of finer material. Just made a very similar driveway thru woodlands here in the midwest. After making a 6 inch cut, we laid fabric, Put down PGE (recycled concrete) and then covered it with recycled asphalt grindings. Looks great, will last and reusing material .
That Bobcat is a little beast!!
He got excited when he pushed the tree over and got hung on the root ball I have pushed 100`s of trees that size over with same machine and got hung a few times. Great work!
Thanks for the video and I really like the shirt I received a few days ago.
AD Homesteading thanks. I'm glad you like the shirt.
(New Sub) Wow just watched the hour long video of you doing a driveway and now this one, you've got some skill man.. i once hired a digger for the garden and it took me a couple of days to get into the swing of things.. but could never flatten out the mud like you do! Love the videos keep them coming, don't listen to the negativity they wouldnt be able to do what you've achieved.
Everything about this video was fine and I love this channel! Not here to be negative Or judgmental but when digging a swale along the driveway all those trees that received root damage will likely die as a result. Something to keep in mind for everyone
AC often has budget issues. Given how he runs his biz he ticks off list to property owner for future jobs as $ permits. Owner can fell as budget permits or bring in AC or others. FULL DISCLOSURE is the key to a successful biz. I'm a retired builder developer..it works!
Unless those lounge chair experts are out there doing this themselves...
Yeah just ignore them
nicely done
Thanks
Hey Bro Andy, every1 has their own taste of enjoyment, but I'd say I been waiting these jobs kind videos, these ain't only unbeatable they also much addictive. But im also happy watching how are you doing these days 🙏 INDIAN😊
I do think the skid steer does compact the stone but maybe not as much as other equipment might,bit I enjoy your videos way more so keep it up man👍
people commenting about the culvert pipe haven't understood how coarse gravel/stone works to distribute loads. plus in this situation it can't be deeper then the ditch it feeds to/from.
Andrew awesome job, keep up the great work, and videos
Great video and filming. Love to watch how you work. You do a great job.
Thanks
you do great work wish you were out here on west coast i need a road cut in
No matter what you do, there is always someone who thinks they can do it better. I say go with what you know works for you, sleep well at night and keep moving on!
There is the way, and there is the way. you do it well.
Looks like there is WAY TOO MUCH dirt in that Base Stone to me? ..... But a good heavy load of Crush-N-Run (not 2-A modified) on top will fix that issue!.....Always fun watching Andy Camarata's video's, hes a very smart young man!!!... ---> However, I miss not seeing NEW Storage Container work, I'm making plans to build my Storage Container shop with a large apartment myself, Andy's videos gave me TONS of ideas and saved me from doing things the wrong way or a harder way!....thanks Andy!.
I think its stone dust? Either way I fell it helps hold everything together. Yes it will be topped in the future with a finish gravel. There is a new storage container video coming out soon, its going to be a good one.
Just crusher fines. Help lock the material together.
Way to go Good JOB!!!
Turned out nice. Not ready for paving lol. But for out in the country nice job
Love the drone shots, pleas always do a 360 degree shot, priceless.
very nice job and a really good spot for a home
I have never seen a plastic culvert collapse even with a few inches of rock and soil covering the tops. Our county barn has switched to all plastic culverts. To date they have never had one fail and we live in a heavy agriculture county and there is nothing heavier than a big round hay bailer with narrow wheels. They cause more compression than a 120 HP 4 wheel drive tractor with orchard tires and wheels on the tractor. We have lots of huge orchards and the farmers order their tractors with those narrow wheels and tires and boy do they ever compact the soil.
very good job, culvert looks great also. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks
Excellent drone footage Andrew, that bobcat made short work of that driveway.
Thanks. Yeah, that machine does a good job.
Very nice job on the driveway. Perfectly set up for the upcoming build. Looks like a nice building lot.
Thanks, more videos from that site soon.
Everybody wants to live in the woods! You got a great eye for running equipment!
ALOHA FRM HAWAII... ALL I CAN SEE IS THE CARS EITHER SLIDING DOWN THAT ROAD IN A FOOT OR MORWE OF SNOW OR TRAPPED AT THE BOTTOM & CAN'T DRIVE UP THAT HILL ; AGAIN BECAUSE OF SNOW,..... LUCKY I LIVE IN HAWAII.... BUT GREAT PROJECT ANDEW... HAVE BEEN BINGE WATCHING MANY OF YOUR PROJECTS FROM THE PAST YEAR & YOUR HOME BASE/TOWERR PROJECT -- AWSUME!!!!
Thanks, that driveway isn't too bad. Mine is steeper. And I plow some that are much steeper. Just need 4x4 with good tires.
Culverts will sink over time if it were any lower it would be a problem in the future. Great job.
hey man you are good on the bobcat...............................
Good video and nice work on the road. Take negative comments with a grain of salt. It is obvious that you know what you are doing.
Thanks. I try to, but also consider them as constructive criticism, or try to answer the persons question with a demonstration. This person said the pipe will crush as soon as a truck drove over it, so I showed him a video of a truck driving over it, and it not crushing.
Andrew Camarata you are the best Andrew that’s why this is my favorite channel by far, stay safe and stay awesome ✌️
Excellent work !!
You've got a good crown high side ditched unless you get a massive amount of rain all at once. Looking good wish I could say that about my drive LoL good job.
I am not a expert on anything but it looks to me like you are doing a good job
"The culvert pipe actually goes above the ground." Expert in chair arms.
Andrew,
i now know how to spread out gravel when you have multiple truck loads. i did 5 quad axles and i pulled from the pile on the down hill side. just think how much easier it would have been to push the gravel down the drive like you did then scoop and dump from the pile like i did...thats why i should leave it to the pro's...rookies
Glad the video could help for next time.
Why was the road fabric required? It looked like a decent base going down there to be gravelled on top of the base.
A great video, I like the aerial shots of the overall landscape. Thanks
Looking great
Thanks.
Just remember, the bottom of the ditch is the bottom of the culvert pipe. Putting the pipe lower only makes the pipe fill up with dirt until the silt is the same height of the bottom of the ditch.
People Need To Just Enjoy How & What You Do & If They Can't Say Something Constructive Then Don't Say Nothing At All
When we get delivered gravel in Denmark the trucks carry 84.000 lbs on one trailer
Gustav they do that in America as well but then Andrew would have had to move the stone much further rather then having each load dumped right where he needed it to be spread.
The culvert pipe looked to be double-sided so it should be just fine Andrew.
Very nice and good job
2:17 I can hear Andrew saying "oh, well let's not do that!!" In my brain.
When u damage the roots of a tree, u mights just as well fall the tree right away as it will most likely die and cause an issue later.
I would neeeeeeever question anything you do!!!!! Love watching ur vids tho must say!!!!
I think your videos are great. The drone footage is cool also. Keep up the good work.
I see why you do not miss the bobcats!
