No wonder no one wants to watch television anymore. Most shows on television are complete garbage, and they have a staff of producers, directors, crew, etc. This is one guy, doing his own filming and editing, and running his own company.
You gotta be crazy. This video would be so much better with perfectly coiffed breast muffins droning on and on about what he does, tying it in somehow with social causes and saving the earth. We don't watch TV for the content, we watch it for the highly-paid Soros commentators. Yep.

Those who agree with this comment can come see my channel(s) then. While true, some of my videos are like this video, lengthy, but gets to the point, unlike some of those family guy videos where there's filler in the video to extend the video past what the intended clip is meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I myself do enjoy some of the videos of family guy, I think there was only about one video that was short and got to the point of what the title was. I have this channel that I'm commenting with, morgan russmans gaming channel, morgan russmans cooking channel, and morgan russmans conspiracy theroy channel, I don't have anything currently (6/2019) have anything on the conspiracy theory channel yet, but keep an eye out for my conspiracy theory channel, I do plan on eventually uploading something to the conspiracy theory channel. Edit: I though this was my main channel. This is my conspiracy theory channel, morgan russman is the main channel name.
at 27:00 if he wouldve just put the bed down on the dump truck he wouldve had less weight over the rear tires and wouldve got out no problem. instead he dug ruts
I just wanted to believe that he did it on purpose to add more interesting wrk😂he ain't havin it that easy way. This guy can wrk until his tools start screaming for help.
Andrew it is incredable what you do with your machinery!!! You always go the extra mile to make sure everything looks great. There needs to be alot more people out there like you!!!!
Andrew does a lot of explanations as he is repairing or doing his regular work. I’ve never heard him swear! And I’m a retired Marine, so I’ve gotten quite the experience of cussing sailors and marines, that’s why I let my 2 and 5 year old grandkids watch this shows. They love watching his UA-cam videos.
It was pretty awesome. He should think about installing a big ass winch on the front of each of his trucks so he doesn't have to risk it in the future.
Outstanding! Great earth moving work, videography, drone and music. Loved the before, during and after process. Very skilled work and I hope to see more videos soon. Thank you.
Very good work, specially using the escalator, when putting stone over fabric, the first load of stone can help you make a tracking pad for your dump truck and spread the load going forward not backwards, you know... safety first. Other than that, excellent video
Lmao same here just seen a thumbnail of it and it started playing so I just clicked it and watched the whole thing. Waste of my time but was interesting.
An excellent job - as usual - Andrew. Once again I have to say I never cease to be amazed at the inherent power of your skid-sliders! Imagine towing a massive truck filled with 4" gravel - and all you need is a steell chain. Just wow!
You know this pretty much routine for you and some of these videos are 2/3 years old but for someone that has never seen it done is just so fascinating to watch. Great video!
Still don’t know how I stumbled upon this but I have watched it often. One of the most satisfying videos on UA-cam. Not sure why, I gues just seeing honest effort and progress. I hope to own a piece of land off the beaten path one day and have a guy like this come in and help me run a driveway in. This guys job is so much more satisfying than so many of us office dwellers.
Andrew, that was one of the best UA-cam videos I have watched in a very long time. I know nothing about construction but just bought some farm land for my retirement home. There is no access and I had no idea of how to go about doing this. This video was a treasuretrove of good information. Thank you !!
Great videography and editing. Even greater equipment operation. A real pro. Very cool working alone and then even setting the excavator to push the truck out. You are great at solving problems so efficiently. I'd hire you in a second.
@@nedkarjanen6251 It stops the road base material from just sinking into the mud. Saving a lot of material cost. The only downside is the ground underneath never really firms up so heavier trucks will sink into the driveway more.
@@legohead6 actually with one foot of gravel over fabric, I have supported 85,000 lb. loaded trucks repeatedly for weeks. The fabric also creates a bridging effect which in essence creates a footprint equal to the wheelbase. I built a log truck loading site on ground that barely supported people walking. By the end of the 4 week job (two truck loads in and out per day) the skidder was seat deep in water, pushing floating logs up to the truck but, the trucks never sank in even a little bit.
@@TheTacticalBarrage no no no no no no no no. What if he did do what you said, but then the truck turned sideways and still had no traction. Then what? That's why he did what he did so he could steer the truck then pull if forward get out of the truck then turn the machine off.
It was very stupid of him to do that. You're running on wet dirt next to unmanned heavy equipment and you're driving a truck out into possible incoming traffic with no way of stopping. That's a good way of getting a one way ticket for the Darwin Awards of for Fail Army.
Super impressive the way you and that machine are one! The skill and dexterity using the machine as an extension of yourself is nothing short of awesomeness 👏 😀 👍
My dad is 96 and asked me to send you this comment since he can’t do it himself. “I see you have been doing stone roads where you are at. Have you tried shoulder stone (shoulder stone is a product of screening and finings of crushed blue stone). Check with a dealer for more information. Rent or buy an over road grader and a ten ton three wheel road roller for compaction. This stuff compacts very well and is good for hard usage. I’ve never tried this before but have heard it is very good -Mix Portland cement in a lean mixture with shoulder stone. Mix dry and spread dry in hard usage areas. Allow light usage for one or two weeks. It will set.”
Your dad knows what he is talking about! Proper finish is with compaction and the use of the right materials to bind it if you don't want to get stuck!
A hundred guys with rakes, shovels, etc. could not have done a better job. The precision and skill of use of the machinery is unparalleled. Man, this is one satisfying video.
This man really know how to operate all his heavy equipment with such precision! People don't realize how much work it takes when you're developing a property for a homeplace.
My 14 month old son LOVES this stuff! So cool to see all the hard work and the amazing machines that goes into making a driveway. Really awesome stuff.
I was working construction as a heavy equipment operator. I came on at the end of the job so I didn't know how far the road was finished. After work I drove my sleeper van to find out. Then I hit a spot of sand and got stuck. I found a open cab Cat dozer with a chain to pull myself out but no one was there to help. it was a back road with no lights so no one would find me until morning. Well I had to put the dozer in first gear jump off run to the van climb in and steer myself out. Then jump out the van climb on the moving dozer to stop it. Worked but I don't wanna try that again.
Man that looks great. You taught me alot I bought a mini x and a dump trailer and skidsteer. It's been tight trying get work and figure out the princing. But it's been fun I love watching these videos trying learn easier ways to do things.
Awesome job. And excellent footage, too. I don't even know how I stumbled across this video. But I just couldn't look away. It's really neat to see all of the work that goes into these types of projects.
I’m with you. Andrew always motivates me to go dig some stuff up!! I’m still trying to figure out how I can justify the excavator purchase to my wife when her priorities are calling for a bathroom remodel!!! :(
Andrew. A Very good Job, Go the extra mile and it will always pay off, Keep up the good work and keep posting this is worth watching in lieu of Some other posts on You Tube. From a retired construction inspector. Thanks again.
Can’t get any better than this. Insane amount of work; both for the work done on the equipment and also properly recording it at the same time. You’re a one man army.
LOVED the solo maneuver at 13:25 to drive both vehicles!! Reminded me of the scene in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy where the guy had to open and close the fence behind him while on a hill. >-D
I did the similar thing at my backyard with my mini excavator, I scratched skins off of several trees even I was already very careful. I blamed myself and said to myself that Andrew will not do that... but when I watched his video 3rd time, I noticed he had done the same thing...now I felt much better and get encouraged again.
Guys what was wrong with the first video, i saw it in my notifications and when i went to watch it it was gone, then it got re uploaded and the title changed 🤷🏻♂️
Travis Davis another dislike? Please state what his shoddy work was? You do understand this was a road to a construction site, not a permanent structure. I have seen these built in my area countless times, most not this nice. The perfect leveled compacted and rolled gravel comes after the big trucks and excavators have finished. Maybe even a paved surface! But please state why this is shoddy work? No hate.......
It feels a bit silly but it's so satisfying to watch. I get so inspired to take my digger (Åkerman H11 (predecessor to Volvo) from 1968, and go out in my own forest and improve some roads. Lots to do and so many other obligations... thanks for making these videos. Im learning alot!
Just want you to know that I really admire the work you do. I own and operate a construction business is oklahoma, and the attention you have toward the work you do is very rare. Props to you for your hustle in running a small business and doing so in a very respectable manner. Atta boy!
I'm impressed by the sheer effort, the native skills, the integrity of the project....but most of all, it was accomplished without a full crew of engineers, guys leaning on shovels, and a boss screaming out orders no one can either hear or understand...great job!!!
Amei muito seu vídeo, esse foi o primeiro que vi, vou continuar te seguindo aqui do Brazil, porque adoraria fazer e viver o que está fazendo. O contêiner será uma casa? Ah isso é maravilhoso!!! Parabéns!!!
I really liked this video back in the day and wished you would do more driveway videos. I'm not complaining about any other content, this is just my favorite.
The fabric is expensive like he mentioned, but so so so worth it. Always use fabric to retain rocks. Only thing I would do different is compact the soil before laying fabric so heavy trucks don’t sink. Compaction also reduces settling which inevitably requires more rocks.
Agreed, here in Scotland we always compact. Cost effective as use less stone in the long term. Less maintenance too. Nothing worse than materials delivery getting stuck and chewing the driveway.
I give this Andrew guy alot of credit. He loads the materials very easy . I notice he doesnt just drop the rocks or stumps in his dump bodies like the average contractor or operator would do. His equipment will last very long... Well done. Buddy
I never knew I needed this content in my life, I know nothing about excavating and was never interested. UA-cam recommendations actually did me a favor for once lmao
Just wanted to let you know that we have a 3 year old son, and you're basically his hero. XD We don't let him watch television, or really much stuff on screens...but his reward is to watch "Andrew Camarata" when he behaves well. Love the videos and knowledge, and super happy my 3 year old could point out the CULVERT PIPE!! as we drove down the road. Keep up the great videos! PS He now thinks anyone with a chainsaw or excavator might be you...lol
@@joedirte716 loving your job is awesome. Some days I don't wanna go to work, but that money tells me to get my ass to work. I like my job, I get bored sometimes though.
I would have thought that using the logs on the edges would keep the gravel in side. Family suffered for years of refixing their driveway before taking logs from their 3 acres to line it. I like the lining under the gravel. Modern gardeners do this, also.
Believe it or not, this was the very first video I ever watched from Andy. Since then, I've probably watched 50+ more. And this one is in the top 5 for me. I also very much enjoyed him bracing the rock next to his building as well. I wish he would do a video on how he purchased his property, how he designed it, how he graded it to get that great flat area where the castle is, etc. etc. Come on Andy, give us some inside baseball type videos. We all love seeing your progression and how you got to where you are... John in Texas...
Caminho para destruição. O homem é pior do que cupim, essa floresta vai desaparecer igual fumaça. /// Path to destruction. Man is worse than termite, this forest will disappear like smoke.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting. A very long drive you have installed there. Just wondered how long it took? Will the driveway eventually harden over time?
I watched this video years ago when you first uploaded, I still come back once in a while to watch it again it is so satisfying. The beginning to end of a project.
Yard - A safer approach would have been to call someone to come help. Another would have been to pull it from the front using a chain or tow strap. Of course, by himself, there is the problem of not having a spotter/flagger for any traffic that may come along. The bottom line is leaving operating machinery like that is extremely dangerous. Any number of things could have gone wrong. He could have fell down and been run over.
Hello Andrew! Great video, I learned a lot. I noticed you didn't remove the topsoil before putting the carpet down.... is the carpet so good that it eliminates the need to remove the topsoil?
WOW! You are an EXCELLENT excavator operator.....like a giant pinching stuff with his thumb and forefinger; virtually no wasted actions! Anyone who's operated one, knows what I'm talking about. Super impressive! I, especially, loved the push yourself with the unmanned excavator trick. Most would criticize for that - NOT ME!!
I'm always amazed at you in all the things you do. I don't know whether your good or just lucky. Remember there's no such thing as luck, it's called HARD WORK!!!
Have to say, your one hell of an Operator. I worked in construction and seen some great operators, very smooth and precise. The whole pushing the truck out of the mud with the excavator and running back, Genius! You definitely fall into the category of the great ones! lol...
That’s nothing, not only did I just helped put in a driveway in the woods, and set an shipping container in place. I helped clear some property of some old tires, then helped on some drainage work on a mountain road. That’s just in the last couple of hours, I’ll probably get at least two more jobs done before bedtime. Great videos, keep ‘em coming!

Lesson learnt:
AN EXCAVATOR CAN SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM ON PLANET EARTH.
Y’all calling trackhoes excavators makes me cringe. I mean you’re not wrong but still
yep
@@Swof99 lol where I'm from a trackhoe sounds like it would be a backhoe with tracks, we call them shovels, or any thing under 200 is called a mini
Willie VanderZwan in Utah it’s either a trackhoe or a mini
@@Swof99 it's an excavator
That solo push-out with the excavator was the single most amazing thing i have ever watched!!!!
Exactly, you figure it out. I like this guy.
bill nalder,the trees could have help alot easier if they put them underneath the container 🤦🏽♂️
I thought the same thing. Especially the fact he ran to jump in the truck and again to stop his excavator.
It was pretty awesome. He should think about installing a big ass winch on the front of each of his trucks so he doesn't have to risk it in the future.

really great operator on that equipment. top notch job.
Watches the video, then:
"🤔 I should buy an excavator to solve all my problems 🤔"
girift And dynamite👍🏻
I’m with you. Andrew always motivates me to go dig some stuff up!! I’m still trying to figure out how I can justify the excavator purchase to my wife when her priorities are calling for a bathroom remodel!!! :(
@@chevyman551 You're the man just do it 😆
@@chevyman551you need to clear some land for the new bathroom right *cough*
@@chevyman551 I skipped around the purchase for 5 years and my advice is the sooner the better. You won't regret it!!!
It’s sad coming here and see Levi at the end 😔 R.I.P love you Levi!
Andrew. A Very good Job, Go the extra mile and it will always pay off, Keep up the good work and keep posting this is worth watching in lieu of Some other posts on You Tube. From a retired construction inspector. Thanks again.
13:40 When you do group project all by yourself
Exactly
I'm sure he read about that in the instruction manual.
He is a solo player😂
My most favorite part
Can’t get any better than this. Insane amount of work; both for the work done on the equipment and also properly recording it at the same time. You’re a one man army.
Rồi đừng chém em đi
😊😊😊
Would love to see how much damage Andrew could do with a film crew.
Dude straight up ghost rider the whip😂😂 that was crazy
OSHA had no comment on the matter.
I've never seen any work done like this before. This guy is a freaking boss! Very impressive stuff!
Thanks
Agreed 👍⚾️
Aside from anything else, the fact he never once says 'like & subscribe' , 'let me know in the comments' etc means he wins UA-cam
Pabouch $-rrr
LOVED the solo maneuver at 13:25 to drive both vehicles!! Reminded me of the scene in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy where the guy had to open and close the fence behind him while on a hill. >-D
I watch this at 2x play back speed looked hilarious 😂
truth teller when he walked back 😆
Smugness level pretty high and deservedly so..was funny to watch still
Please friends, subscribe to my channel too, I am not your enemy
This guy is my new hero!
I did the similar thing at my backyard with my mini excavator, I scratched skins off of several trees even I was already very careful. I blamed myself and said to myself that Andrew will not do that... but when I watched his video 3rd time, I noticed he had done the same thing...now I felt much better and get encouraged again.
I was always super impressed what a mini excavator can do. I had no idea what a larger one could do. Those stumps came out like butter
You sir, are a true craftsman and problem solver. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for your efforts at striving for publishing perfection. The first one was fine with me, grin.
First one was fine, but now I have extra excuses to watch this multiple times. So that's great.
Great publishing doesn't hide shoddy work
Guys what was wrong with the first video, i saw it in my notifications and when i went to watch it it was gone, then it got re uploaded and the title changed 🤷🏻♂️
Acdrew your good contractor god bless you,,,
Travis Davis another dislike? Please state what his shoddy work was? You do understand this was a road to a construction site, not a permanent structure. I have seen these built in my area countless times, most not this nice. The perfect leveled compacted and rolled gravel comes after the big trucks and excavators have finished. Maybe even a paved surface! But please state why this is shoddy work? No hate.......
Great techniques! This guy really seems to know his way around an excavator!
It feels a bit silly but it's so satisfying to watch. I get so inspired to take my digger (Åkerman H11 (predecessor to Volvo) from 1968, and go out in my own forest and improve some roads. Lots to do and so many other obligations... thanks for making these videos. Im learning alot!
You bring together Camarata and Ashville Aggregate( Daniel) and we have ourselves a road to heaven. Very inspiring.
Just want you to know that I really admire the work you do. I own and operate a construction business is oklahoma, and the attention you have toward the work you do is very rare. Props to you for your hustle in running a small business and doing so in a very respectable manner.
Atta boy!
I don't have my own house, let alone need to build a driveway.. but this was still oddly satisfying.
Andrew you use that machine as if it were your hand. I enjoy watching you work. The land is your canvas and that machine is your brush. WOW!!
You remind me this phrase from my mom, "take the plants, leave me my dirt. "
Andrew "Ghost riding" the excavator! I love it! ;)
Michael Shea ghost ride the whip
I'm impressed by the sheer effort, the native skills, the integrity of the project....but most of all, it was accomplished without a full crew of engineers, guys leaning on shovels, and a boss screaming out orders no one can either hear or understand...great job!!!
OMG - how true! Been there, done that! Now we all know why heavy equipment is worth 20 good men.
If this was a union job there it would take 6 men and 2 months of milking it. Of course no one could afford that so it wouldn’t get done at all.
Amei muito seu vídeo, esse foi o primeiro que vi, vou continuar te seguindo aqui do Brazil, porque adoraria fazer e viver o que está fazendo. O contêiner será uma casa? Ah isso é maravilhoso!!! Parabéns!!!
This is the video that I stumbled across first then never stopped watching afterwards
“Gets bogged”
“Locks accelerator on”
“Sprints to truck”
Hahaha good work 👌
HAHA i was just thinking that's hilarious.
It’s cruise control
If I had done it, I wouldn't have pulled far enough up and the excavator would have run into the trailer... :O
Brilliant, one man job ingenuity
Or he could have just kept the dump truck on the side of the road and not got stuck. :)
Excellent work... something cool about watching great workmanship. Wish I could get you to my property in Colorado. Watched all 58 minutes.
I could only manage 57:54
I really liked this video back in the day and wished you would do more driveway videos. I'm not complaining about any other content, this is just my favorite.
The fabric is expensive like he mentioned, but so so so worth it. Always use fabric to retain rocks. Only thing I would do different is compact the soil before laying fabric so heavy trucks don’t sink. Compaction also reduces settling which inevitably requires more rocks.
Where I'm from it'd cost another $1200 minimum for the compactor for 4 hours, usual minimum job hours around here
Agreed, here in Scotland we always compact. Cost effective as use less stone in the long term. Less maintenance too. Nothing worse than materials delivery getting stuck and chewing the driveway.
Well produced. Really enjoyed watching a professional work. Thank you.
49:32 "I'll fix this" Wow, what self confidence. You the man Andrew!!
Haha i was reading your comment literally just as this was happening 😂
The man enjoyed himself helping Andrew out
so wholesome
@@tonyt5218 same. Love it when that happens
This is the video that brought me here when doing research for my own driveway! I'm glad I stayed!
I love how you dug yourself out the mud. And awesome work! Who know how much work went into just clearing away tree stumps? 🙋♀Me
I give this Andrew guy alot of credit. He loads the materials very easy . I notice he doesnt just drop the rocks or stumps in his dump bodies like the average contractor or operator would do. His equipment will last very long... Well done. Buddy
This is so well shot and satisfying to watch for some reason
The really cool music helps! : )
You got some skills man!👏🏻 so satisfying to watch!👌🏻
I never knew I needed this content in my life, I know nothing about excavating and was never interested. UA-cam recommendations actually did me a favor for once lmao
Just wanted to let you know that we have a 3 year old son, and you're basically his hero. XD We don't let him watch television, or really much stuff on screens...but his reward is to watch "Andrew Camarata" when he behaves well. Love the videos and knowledge, and super happy my 3 year old could point out the CULVERT PIPE!! as we drove down the road. Keep up the great videos!
PS He now thinks anyone with a chainsaw or excavator might be you...lol
TM Ncott thats heartwarming 👍🏼
Cute :)
Your son might love Marty T on youtube! That guy rescues a digger abandoned for 16 years and does all kinds of stuff!
Haha
Nice
My child: Mom what does a honest days work look like?
Me: Watch this video my son..
Unfortunately, no kid these days would ask that question :(
@@joeyoliver579 i grew up watching my dad do stuff like this.. now we have concrete const compa y together. Love what i do
@@joedirte716 god bless
@@joedirte716 loving your job is awesome. Some days I don't wanna go to work, but that money tells me to get my ass to work. I like my job, I get bored sometimes though.
@@joeyoliver579 my 4 year old son stays watching these videos he even ask for them and I'm a auto mechanic😅😅😅😂😂😒😒😒😂😂😂😂
I would have thought that using the logs on the edges would keep the gravel in side. Family suffered for years of refixing their driveway before taking logs from their 3 acres to line it. I like the lining under the gravel. Modern gardeners do this, also.
Awesome job! I can't believe he kept those last few pine trees near the driveway. So strange...
I have seen you do some great stuf before Andrew but pushing the trailer and the truck with the excavator and running between the two is fabulous !
He's been reincarnated from building the pyramid days..!!!!!
Believe it or not, this was the very first video I ever watched from Andy. Since then, I've probably watched 50+ more. And this one is in the top 5 for me. I also very much enjoyed him bracing the rock next to his building as well. I wish he would do a video on how he purchased his property, how he designed it, how he graded it to get that great flat area where the castle is, etc. etc. Come on Andy, give us some inside baseball type videos. We all love seeing your progression and how you got to where you are... John in Texas...
Same here. And I’m back again
Watch How I stared in excavation, and he explains a lot of what you’re asking.
@@bponthemove-photography3012 I just replied
Caminho para destruição. O homem é pior do que cupim, essa floresta vai desaparecer igual fumaça. ///
Path to destruction. Man is worse than termite, this forest will disappear like smoke.
Same dude
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting. A very long drive you have installed there. Just wondered how long it took? Will the driveway eventually harden over time?
I watched this video years ago when you first uploaded, I still come back once in a while to watch it again it is so satisfying. The beginning to end of a project.
This was amazing too watch! A 1 man army. Much respect to ya 💪💪!!
Respect indeed!
the one man band does it all.................speed it up and watch him fly
The way you got your truck unstuck was INSANE and awesome! Nice work!
I can't believe that worked.
Insane. That's one word for it. Another would be stupid. Yet another would be irresponsible.
@@poppys3728 why do you think it was stupid or irresponsible? how would you have got it out of there?
Yard - A safer approach would have been to call someone to come help. Another would have been to pull it from the front using a chain or tow strap. Of course, by himself, there is the problem of not having a spotter/flagger for any traffic that may come along. The bottom line is leaving operating machinery like that is extremely dangerous. Any number of things could have gone wrong. He could have fell down and been run over.
👏👏👏👏👏👏Muy pero muy bueno alucinante el lugar y tu trabajo 10 puntos.... . Abrazo 🇦🇷
Hello Andrew! Great video, I learned a lot. I noticed you didn't remove the topsoil before putting the carpet down.... is the carpet so good that it eliminates the need to remove the topsoil?
WOW! You are an EXCELLENT excavator operator.....like a giant pinching stuff with his thumb and forefinger; virtually no wasted actions! Anyone who's operated one, knows what I'm talking about. Super impressive! I, especially, loved the push yourself with the unmanned excavator trick. Most would criticize for that - NOT ME!!
Wow. I had no idea. 1 hour went by like 5 min. Fascinating process.
I'm always amazed at you in all the things you do. I don't know whether your good or just lucky. Remember there's no such thing as luck, it's called HARD WORK!!!
Have to say, your one hell of an Operator. I worked in construction and seen some great operators, very smooth and precise. The whole pushing the truck out of the mud with the excavator and running back, Genius! You definitely fall into the category of the great ones! lol...
I will tell you from experience. That excavator is not as easy to operate as he makes it look 🙂
Yes he did make me think I might be able to operate an excavator.

2am watching 'how to install a driveway' that i may never do in my life. But find it very interesting to watch..
That’s nothing, not only did I just helped put in a driveway in the woods, and set an shipping container in place.
I helped clear some property of some old tires, then helped on some drainage work on a mountain road. That’s just in the last couple of hours, I’ll probably get at least two more jobs done before bedtime.
Great videos, keep ‘em coming!
