I enjoyed the narrative you were giving and the back story of the ''struggle'' and the ''meat'' that goes into the work sites to get the projects done. It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that struggle to get suff done!
@@Dirtmonkey Your narrative and Sam's input in the videos are great stuff to me. I think you should check out Ken White Construction, he does it too and I really like the insight! He's like a younger canadian vesion of you!LOL
I enjoyed the commentary. I dont know things as well as others. This helps me understand a bit better. Helps me know what to look for if I ever need to have work done.
I like your narration and explaining everything. Good amount of phasing in and out with that. Also appreciate you including the good and challenges of the job. Awesome video. Love watching!
Lol I like you Sran. You're so... genuine. We're about the same age. We chose 2 different paths but I would've loved working with you. I've learned so much watching your videos. You're honest and a hard worker. I respect that. I watch all your videos and n learn something every time. Thumbs up
Absolutely like you in the background giving the history of the employees as well as what they are doing and why they are doing it. I automatically felt like I was a part of the crew.
I liked that. Commenting this helped me understand the steps. Interesting to see that he's repositioning the boulders on and on and on until he's staisfied. That's dedication.
Stan, it doesn't matter what style video you do because they all have one thing in common. YOU !!!!! and YOU=COOL !!!!!! SO all your videos are COOL !!! Personally I like you saying GOD BLESS at the end of every video 😂🤣😅🤣😅 it leaves me with a smile on my face and feeling better Thanks again Rodney
Only this week we were thinking of how to replace the old sleeper wall in front of the office buildings. A rock wall was the best and obvious solution but none of us has ever built one. I can show my boss this as a good example now. Thanks Stan and men. You guys build good stuff.
@@Dirtmonkey Yup, we do most of our little projects ourselves as a break from farming and to give ourselves that feeling that we 'Built that ourselves', that good way to gain knowledge and to share the work experience. At one time the company was much larger with drill rigs all over Australia, land development and residential building as well as thousands of hectares of cane and cattle. The Big Boss passed away and the Young Bloke has been winding back over the last ten years so that many of the employees have left and those who remain just love share their knowledge and skills (and to try new things for fun). Don't worry, we always get professional advice such as engineers, and tradesmen whenever needed as they were often a part of the larger group of companies. Heck, I reckon we have enough dozers, backhoes, excavators and heavy haulage vehicles to start another company anytime, but the farms tend to keep 'The Young Master' busy enough for now. Well that and the town sheds , parks, rentals, etc, etc, etc.
Enjoyed the commentary. As a landscape architect, the commentary indicates that you were thinking the same as me...fabric, washed stone, leveling, etc. Aren't you glad that railroad ties are finally recognized as a temporary solution? Keep up the great techniques educating the public that there's more than meets the eye to all landscape and site work projects.
Great idea to do the video and excellent end result. Didn't see much detail about how or what they were doing besides tamping base and placing rocks using specialized heavy machinery.
I am a 62 year old woman with my own skid loader. My husband and I just installed a three stair step in the middle of a Boulder wall. This was very informative going forward to set the rest of the boulders. I love rocks and heavy equipment. I think I missed my calling.
absolutely love this video format! keep them coming. I know you have been trying to find the best format to fit the viewers for a while now, but I think you have hit the nail on the head with this one.
Stanley,you have a great team,knowledgeable and hard working and stoic. Love the wall and steps,love the detailed exploration at how you arrive at such a beautiful wall.The arrival normally involves hard work,a keen eye and applying the knowledge garnered from years of work,just like any great artisan. Thanks Stanley and team.
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek Also forgot to mention I like the part where you where hanging out with us and explaining and talking to us would love to see it in future videos. Also can’t wait to see what we have in store next keep it up
Wow, I am not into wall building but when you talked about the fabric and how it keeps the dirt and sand in but allows the water to flow through and what happens if you just use a simple piece of plastic I enjoyed that. I now know when to spot when someone is doing it wrong. Just good information.
Insight & input during observation is essential (for me) ; especially being the boss / & not being on site to give input & make decisions. Over explaining things reeeeeally helps the way & the how ... I'm just a guy, with just a house, that just needs ... a lot. All info that comes from experience is helpful & useful. Thank You for all you do & all the time you take to do it. (...any company is only as good as the people that work for it ; Big Kudos to your crew too!!)
Stan!! when you said left or right, l also forget to us men it don't matter because we allready know were we need to be in our head. It dont matter if you make the wrong turn becouse we know we can fix it..l enjoy your work and will allways watch you and learn from your work direction wrong or right. It's remembering were you Need to be and don't let anything get in the way. Keep on going mate enjoying your work, just don't forget to love your boss more than anything keep her fully charged and get her involved in any way possible. Us Men are like a tools that works hard to get the job done! but with out the best battery were broken. KICK ASS STAN THE MAN. Now that's a retaining wall that is done right thanks for showing me boys..
Love the videos stan.especially how not only do you show the work being done but you explain how and why your doing everything you do to get all the jobs done efficiently and correctly without cutting corners and still giving nothing but high quality work. Not only that but how explain what was/went wrong with the jobs you have to redo that someone else has done that failed!!! Oh and the drink your drinking in the video is called pellegrino which is pronounced pel-le-gri-no!!
Great video Stan. Thanks!! Have a video of Tim flipping dimes and lighting matches with that machine!!! He should have been a surgeon or a bomb defuser!!!! Great touch🤘🤘
Good format. Probably easier to get footage that way too. Serious landscape construction like this is difficult intrinsically. There is no blueprint, no exacting material, infinitely variable. It's mostly an idea or plan. Making it seem natural and blending is not something everyone can do. Nobody knows what it will look like, or maybe what it should look like. But anyone can spot it a mile off when it doesn't look right. Your right hand man is doing a hell of a job for you. You're lucky to have him, it is a hard to find skill. Thanks for sharing
@@Dirtmonkey I had my own excavating company for a while. Primarily residential - new construction. Occasional pond, estate development, farm work. I never had to advertise, the finished jobs did it for me. -BUT-, I could not duplicate it. It was unable to be hired. So, .....been there...
Stan, narrative definitely lets you add useful commentary that would be overlooked during the live action shots. If there is a plot plan it would be useful to include just to help orientate the viewers. The wall definitely added character and value to the owners backyard versus the railroad ties.
I like your commentary, Stan. The extra bits of background into is appreciated..... I've got a side area along my property's west border that needs a 3 foot x 80 foot retaining wall. it's just a 10 foot wide area between the house and the fence, but it's totally unusable because of the slope down. (House plot next door is lower....) But alas, I'm in Oregon........
I level the base before I put the step down (after I tamp) with a level and a 2x4. Speeeds up there process a lot . Gotta have a good eye for it though, awesome video. Shows why we charge what we charge for these projects
I like the narrative style. Could be cool to go deep dive into the process and be podcast style. Not sure if any of the crew would be into coming on to review what their process is but I'd find that pretty interesting. Keep up the good work and thanks for the insight over the years.
Hardscape landscaper for 35 years here. Kingston Ontario. Excellent channel. Captures the installation experience very well. 👍✌️
Enjoyed the commentary Stan. Every job has a storyline, and this one deserved a narrator.
Thank you
I liked the narration.
Haha 9:15!
I do like hearing your input about a job. I actually learn a lot of how a job site works just from you talking.
more to come then
Another vote for the narrated format. Thanks for slowing it down from time to time to hear the conversations, and for not adding BS music.
Glad you liked it!
I don’t know why I stopped watching your videos Your videos are the best
Thank you!
I like the commentary and the kind of behind the scenes info while the job is progressing.
Yes, you narrating the project was cool. In the videos, you seem like a very likable person. Someone who I could sit down and have a beer with.
I love you talking while they work. Keep doing that please.
Really enjoyed your narration. I liked how it was like you were watching for the first time like we were.
Love this format with you in the corner and commentating
I like the commentary. It's like watching a video with someone that was there.
The commentary was a great idea Stanley. 👍🏼 Thanks for the content!
Friggin love the commentary from the boss to go along with the work
Much appreciated
Lucky you with the rain. I am in Eugene, Oregon and we are wishing for rain. Always love watching your vids, entertaining and informative.
Good luck!
I enjoyed the commentary. You’ve got a great crew of guys who work really well together
I enjoyed the narrative you were giving and the back story of the ''struggle'' and the ''meat'' that goes into the work sites to get the projects done. It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that struggle to get suff done!
Thanks for the feedback James. I wasn't sure if this would be accepted or not
@@Dirtmonkey Your narrative and Sam's input in the videos are great stuff to me. I think you should check out Ken White Construction, he does it too and I really like the insight! He's like a younger canadian vesion of you!LOL
I'm in the "yeah, I like it" camp for your on screen narration. Cool wall, too.
I enjoyed the commentary. I dont know things as well as others. This helps me understand a bit better. Helps me know what to look for if I ever need to have work done.
Glad it was helpful!
Picture in picture commentary is perfect . Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
I like your narration and explaining everything. Good amount of phasing in and out with that. Also appreciate you including the good and challenges of the job. Awesome video. Love watching!
I appreciate that!
I like the new format, it's like you came to my house to watch it with me.

Thanks Stan, this was a great way to learn and understand what's going on from a person with decades of experience.
Very welcome
Hi I love your videos I wait every day for them to come out
Thank you!!!
Perfect! Your commentary enhances the video a lot! Love the explanation of fabric goods and bads too.

You guys gonna do it yourself?

I love your honest constructive criticism and head nodding, face palming of observing your crew. 😂
Tim is definitely an artist, when it comes to building these boulder walls! Not many people could do that! Very talented man!
Thanks Charles
I absolutely love how much detail you guys put into these videos its really refreshing
Glad you enjoy it!
Love the narration. Love how you explain what is going so we can understand how and why you and your guys do nwhat they do.
Way better than some other videos
Cool!

Go for it!
