Used to be a saying years ago, "If you got it, Flaunt it"! Who would ever have thought that would apply to you guys with your "DRONES"! Also, the drone gives a new dimension to how large this building and property actually is. Amazing and we thank you and the water is flowing the right direction - set your GPS to it! Sonny (CT)
Looks like you got enough dust and dirt out of that filter to make another load of dirt of the pond. Glad you filmed blowing it out, plus the drone shots of the dust were great!
A typical case of a local government spending someone else's money. Mostly wasted money and time but glad you were the recipient of this windfall. Your work is first class, you should never run out of things to do.
I agree the whole is pointless. Thank you I appreciate that! I try to do things how I would want them done and it does seem to keep me busy. Thanks again for watching
That’s another great 👍 job you have done there Mr Elite and I’ll bet that your really glad that you had a sealed cab on you skid steer loader cos with all that dusty dirt you’d would have got yourself covered in it and then at the very end, it was really great 👍 to see the detention pond in action, plus it would also be nice 👍 to see the grass growing in it and to see how wonderful it will be then, have a great night and see you in the next video.
Thank you! Yes a sealed cab is must for that stuff. It’s got some grass coming in, I’m planning to go back in a few weeks to do a follow up. Hopefully it will have grass. Appreciate you watching
Lookin good. That dust reminds me of following trucks out to oil field locations can’t see anything but dust then almost have an oh crap moment when the dust finally clears and you almost hit something.
Thank you! That’s what I’ve always called them but the engineer said this was a dry basin detention pond since it only holds water for a short time. He said retention ponds contain water all year. 🤷🏼♂️ I still sat retention pond 🤣
Don't beat yourself up so much you do a amazing job on every single job you do. Trust me if your work was shit people would tell you and you wouldn't have the following that you do on youtube. Just remember that.
@@eliteearthworksllc of course. You treat every job like your doing it for yourself so you will never go about it cheap or cut any corner. Like so many people and companies do nowadays. You're a step above the rest and your finish product shows that
I used to have an aquarium that had a higher water flow rate on its pump than those two half inch drain holes. What a (sad) joke that is. But I am sure there in an engineer who has a perfect explanation as to why it is important to keep water standing in that pond for days or weeks after every rainfall. Maybe he loves mosquitoes?
Lol yeah I get the need to slow water but even if you left that hole it wouldn’t be terrible. But supposedly they have a formula 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll probably never understand. Thanks again for watching
You forgot to mention that the job was inspected and approved by Nana Lois! That’s the stamp of approval I always shoot for. Will they pay you to go back and seed/straw it again? Just curious. I’ll try to stop by tomorrow if I can get free... been working on the new barn. I’ll send you a pic if I can remember. BTW... the end results were perfection. 👌🏻
Lol that’s right that’s an even better approval! Yeah he’ll have me come back or he will do it. Come on by my helper will be with me tomorrow in Diamond she wants to try the dozer 😁 should make a fun video. Thanks again
Is everyone sure they're happy now lol? Man when I seen how dry and dusty that soil was my hart went out to skidsteers air filter ha. In the quarry when it gets super dry and the dust is bad we turn off the a30's while loading ha. No amount of water can keep it down, only rain.
You know the make a air filter cover to go on the outside of it for slity dirt like this to keep your air filter from clogging up and filter it better we use them out here and they make a world of a difference on your pocket book and engine
@@eliteearthworksllc there called air filter socks they make them in every possible size you can think of. They start at $15 on up from there but we swear by them
Beautiful job Brandon! I recently rented a Kubota 90 with a tooth bucket and I see why you run teeth on yours it is an amazing difference! What’s your thoughts on the Kubota‘s?I saw in one of DP‘s videos that you ran his
Thanks man! I like the kubotas if I couldn’t get a Takeuchi I would go with one of them. They are almost identical to Takeuchi just smaller. Even the svl 95 is a touch smaller than the TL12V2 Takeuchi makes the largest cabs on the market. And yes the tooth bucket is where it’s at. So much easier on the machine. Appreciate you watching buddy
I hope you wore protection from that dust! But I see you’re not! You do know that breathing that is very bad for your health? Please stay safe and healthy, take care of you’re self!
Thank you! A driveway entrance with 60’ of 18” culvert, a one acre parking lot and 60’x40’ building pad. For this same customer at a different location
I was expecting you to hop out of the coochie and say, thats one small step for man, one giant leap for Mr. Elite! Man, what a dusty mess. Btw, you gotta work on your dump truckin skill, you didn't even slam the tailgate once. Lol. Just kidding. Turned out great. Stay safe dude!
🤣 dammit I should have done that especially in my moon dust dirt. Yeah I’m not big on slamming the tailgate 😁. I’m not a real truck driver. Appreciate you watching buddy
So you go and spread talcum powder in a bowl shaped depression, with so much dust in the air you can't see where you're going, and do a nicer looking job than I can do in perfect conditions. How do you hide the RADAR and Infra-red scanners and laser beams and computers and stuff in that skid steer? 😁 Seriously, though, thanks for the entertainment, I'm sitting out a thunderstorm and not complaining, first measureable rain we've gotten on the ranch in a couple of months.
That's enough too many ads , I going to bale on your channel . If your going to have commercial TV , you'll need more female companionship . I hung in there as long as I could .
I understand I apologize I don’t have control over the commercials anymore TH-cam places them. I’ve tried to change it to just keep two but it always ends up with like 6. I do appreciate you sticking it out
Good thing that cab is enclosed.
Yes it was still terrible lol

Lol I love the drone shots gives a cool perspective. Yes glad it drains the right way. Appreciate you watching as always
Came out good.
Thank you!
Looks like you got enough dust and dirt out of that filter to make another load of dirt of the pond. Glad you filmed blowing it out, plus the drone shots of the dust were great!
Lol yeah there was a ton in there and that was just from that one day. I thought the drone shots were cool too. Appreciate you watching
another fine job sir.
Thank you!
Looks good Brandon 👍
Thank you! 👍🏻
That came out first class Brandon
Thank you! Hope all is going well down there. I need to watch your latest video. Lots to clean up!
Well you made it to the top of that mountain, good job.
Thank you! It was quite the job!
The Dust bowl. Just add water.🤣🤪👍 Good job.
🤣🤣 yep! Thank you!
Another great job! Sucks about the storm. Be cool if you do get to check back on it.
Thanks man! Yeah it happens just glad to see it draining. Thanks again for watching
👏👏 😀 Mission accomplished, two holes worked👍🏻
Yes 😁 thank you!

Very nice work👍
Thank you!
Looks great a nice job.
Thank you!
G'day great job mate
Thank you!
I don't think that their wall is near as pretty as the one's I've seen you do , but the pond and rock work look's great .Good Job!!
Yeah they kinda threw it up in a day 😬 thank you! I appreciate that!
That pond looks bigger then the building! Omg engineers!
🤣 yeah I think it is. If it ever overflows we’re all in trouble lol
That's a hell of a place to put in a retention pond
Yeah nice curb appeal huh 🤣
@@eliteearthworksllc just dam it up and make a koi pond for the customers
Good thinking 😁
Nice looking job. Too bad that hard rain didn't hold of a few more weeks😄‼️👍👍
Thank you! I know would have been too much to ask for lol. Appreciate you watching
Looks really good minus the rain washing your straw away.
Thank you! Yeah that always happens that way but at it drained.
That’s another great 👍 job you have done there Mr Elite and I’ll bet that your really glad that you had a sealed cab on you skid steer loader cos with all that dusty dirt you’d would have got yourself covered in it and then at the very end, it was really great 👍 to see the detention pond in action, plus it would also be nice 👍 to see the grass growing in it and to see how wonderful it will be then, have a great night and see you in the next video.

Hi Mr elite awesome job. Boy you milk this job for a long time got you.
Lol you know I like drag things out as long as possible
Wow brandon that topsoil was dry, it is what it is, got to get it done, turned out sweet, good job man, thanks for sharing.
Thanks man yeah lol it’s like powder. A pain to work with. Appreciate you watching
You guys did a nice job 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Now I hope your next one is a gravy job👍
Thanks! It’s a bigger project than this one but easier. I even got a dozer for it 😁
Turned out really great yeah its a big difference from before. Have a great labor day weekend with your family and keep up the great videos
Thank you! Same to you man
Man that dirt has been beat, like talc... nice work man! 👌🏼
Lol yeah it’s like working with flour, it’s a pain for sure. Thank you! 👍🏻
Great job Brandon. Man that's some powder dirt. Have buy new air filter
Thank you! Yes it’s dry, I keep like 5 filters for each machine especially this time of the year. Thanks again for watching
Betting you're done with that project
Yep on to the next one
You was post to bring the boom with the tailgate lol
Lol I know I’m not a real trucker 😁
Reminds me of Iraq and cleaning the dust out of our trucks and gators air filters.
I would believe that! It’s probably terribly dusty there. Thank you for your service! 👍🏻
Looks good, I'm surprised that the city didn't complain because they're always picky about something. Nice job 👍👌
Thank you! I know I guess I lucked out this time. Appreciate you watching
Hopefully it just sprinkles until the grass starts growing. It would suck to have to redo it if it washes out.
At the end of the video he shows what happens next.
It poured 🤣 I get to come back and put out more seed and straw
Hey Brandon thanks for the video the pond turned out awesome great work👍👍
Thank you! I really enjoyed it and think it came out pretty nice
Lookin good. That dust reminds me of following trucks out to oil field locations can’t see anything but dust then almost have an oh crap moment when the dust finally clears and you almost hit something.
Thank you! Lol that would definitely scare you! Appreciate you watching
Great completed job as usual..in Va we called them retention ponds 👍
Thank you! That’s what I’ve always called them but the engineer said this was a dry basin detention pond since it only holds water for a short time. He said retention ponds contain water all year. 🤷🏼♂️ I still sat retention pond 🤣
Quality at its finest .. I bet you couldn’t wait to this project was inspected so you can YELL COMPLETED ..!!!!great job
Thank you! I appreciate that! I really enjoyed this job but yes I’m ready for something. Thanks again for watching
Great Job 👌
Thanks! 👍🏻
Great job, it will grow frogs in a couple of years. lol
Thanks buddy! 🤣 so true

Great results!
Thank you! I’m very happy with it. It was a fun project!
Nice drone shots Brandon, job turned out nice.....bet that neighbor next door was cussing you when you were spreadin topsoil 😂🤷♂️
Bonjour!
Mrs. Elite Earthworks Wee wee...... no seriously, I gotta go wee wee 😂😂. Oh I mean Bonjour 🙋♂️
D C ... did you say that “all the way home”?
Sassafras Valley I did 😂😂
It needs to be adult swim time before you all start discussing your wee wees in the comments... 😂

I believe everyone is finally happy lol! Yes the dust was terrible. Luckily we got some rain so it’s getting better here. Appreciate you watching
Great video!! You should do a "how to bid" video on something like this!!
Thank you! I could do that especially now that I have done it and I can compare to what I thought it would be. Thanks for watching

Sweet thanks i will check it out
Another job well done! Any mowing projects on the schedule.
Thank you! I do have a 1500’ driveway to put in and I’m going to rent the brush cutter for that probably in two weeks.
No better words than, Eat My Dust! lol
🤣🤣 yes!
Just a bit over kill on the pond.
But that that’s City engineers for yea.
I agree man but they are happy so now everyone is happy
Beautiful job Brandon!
I recently rented a Kubota 90 with a tooth bucket and I see why you run teeth on yours it is an amazing difference! What’s your thoughts on the Kubota‘s?I saw in one of DP‘s videos that you ran his
Try a serrated cutting edge. They work well for digging and grading.
Thanks man! I like the kubotas if I couldn’t get a Takeuchi I would go with one of them. They are almost identical to Takeuchi just smaller. Even the svl 95 is a touch smaller than the TL12V2 Takeuchi makes the largest cabs on the market. And yes the tooth bucket is where it’s at. So much easier on the machine. Appreciate you watching buddy
Lol i misread your comment I thought you were asking about the difference in the machines 🤦🏼♂️
Beautiful, but man that hole just looks massively oversized for that building/lot!
Thank you! It is 🤣 it’s huge I think the city was just pissed at him so they wanted it build that way. It’s way overkill
I hope you wore protection from that dust! But I see you’re not! You do know that breathing that is very bad for your health? Please stay safe and healthy, take care of you’re self!
Yeah I usually have a mask on when I blow that filter out. I just quickly grabbed and blew it out not thinking
Are you still using the GoPro camera,or did you switch?
Yes I’ve got the GoPro hero 7 and 8. I use both to film these videos
You could have just blown that soil around with a leaf blower and not needed your skid steer! It’s so dry!
Lol pretty much that stuff was powder
So does the pond fill up and then drain into the ground? Or does it drain into storm water drain lines or something?
Yes it fills up then slowly drains off into the ditch outside of the pond. It just stores the properties water for a short time
Good job on the pond,what’s the next project
Thank you! A driveway entrance with 60’ of 18” culvert, a one acre parking lot and 60’x40’ building pad. For this same customer at a different location
Elite Earthworks LLC sweet.....sounds like a big job
Yes it is even got a dozer on this job and Mrs. Elite helping
Looked like you were spreading flour not topsoil Brandon.
Yeah it’s crazy it’s like working with water. Appreciate you watching
Now all you gotta do is clear the rip rap from around that hydrant.🤨
Yeah I moved some of it. That hydrant is really short
What’s price on something like this?
How is water removed? Through ground or concrete box?
It drains through the concrete box and out of the pipe to the ditch. I think it was around $25k
@@eliteearthworksllc I found the playlist and additional videos! Great work.
