We have a dry riverbed along our front driveway.My husband decided he needed to "clean" the rocks also.He took them out by the shovel full and placed them on the drive way and hosed them down for some time.I could see our water meter spinning! He then replaced the ground paper and put them back.I have no idea what our water bill is going to be this coming month!! Crazy men.
@@bizarrebroz3424 I just got my water bill...there was an increase over last year but not as much as I would have thought! Worth it? To him yes to me ??
I love it! I don't have a wheelbarrow, I don't have any help and this is one of those jobs you can't pay someone else to do - the landscapers and hard-scapers want to tear everything down and charge 10K to 20K for the job. I did use a old milkcrate, cut chicken wire to fit the sides and fastened with zip ties which was my strainer/tumbler. I have a lot more separating of my lava rocks from the debris. I know your rocks are bigger and heavier than mine, so you got some good muscles!
You have dawn soap? 2-3 Oz You have bleach? Go to Home Depot and buy the 10% instead of chlorox 2%. You have water? 1 gallon Put in a pesticide sprayer... Spray let sit 10-15 mins. Do not let it dry. Sprinse over it a few times over. Wash away with water.. wash your plants if you're scared which they'll be fine. You're welcome. Don't do what 1800s white man is doing on here
I'm writing this to try n get a machine made that picks up and cleans landscaping rocks that have filled in with sand and dirt. Currently there are no machines that so that job. Cleaning the rocks from landscaping in front of most businesses. No one has a machine like that. Why, I don't know why. It's a problem for all landscaping companies. Removing and replacing the rocks that have filled in with dirt. Now and have been allowing the growing grass and weeds that grow out of the dirt. So much it fills in between every rock so much that now they look like dirt. No more does it look like rocks for landscaping. Look like dirt only. Filled in completely to look like ground to help weeds to grow. I hope I've explained my self well enough so inventers know what I'm talking about. To me it's easy to see the problem that NO-ONE has a machine like that. Please make one for the landscaping industry.
THIS GUY IS SO CUTE!!!! LOL Did y'all see those MUSCLES FLEX?! The interesting part is we didn't hear how long it would take to clean all those rocks! GAH!
I just saw someone else's comment. They said it's called Weed Barrier and the man in the video said he bought the most expensive one they had at the store
You are awesome; would like to see you wear protective supportive shoe and back brace. Look into physical therapist's "McKenzie 7" every 2 hours so you don't end up on back surgeon's table❤️🙏.
@@Verscoyle I wonder if a lot of the dirt you are reclaiming is washing out from under the bender board. It looked like it stopped at the above the ground cloth.

I installed plastic turf! Washing your rocks off looks like too much effort! Wait until tonight when the back flares up! I think you are getting much too bored! Slow down Court, you know that this ain’t the mainland! Ron D, Victoria.
Nope, too much work for me. Has to be an easier way. I've seen a man hydro tilling gravel. Using a pressure washer with rotating end. I'm going to try it.
O.M.G. Dude. YES YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. There are so many cooler things a guy of your endurance could be doing…but hey, whatever floats your boat.
What he is doing is not a waste of time at all! To me, he is living a great life. I’d bet he is the first one to help out a neighbor because he is not afraid of hard work.
Nice to see a man with too much free time on his hands just enjoying himself and hurting no one ... Peace
I thought i was the only one that did this. I made my sifter about 15 years ago and it makes the job pretty easy! 😊❤
“But when you’re finished, got a little bit of a sore back. Gonna head out for a beer. It’s beer time” wow what a great guy
Beer time after one shovel load!
You are the coolest due I've seen on TH-cam!!!!
All of the instructions...I love it!. The tools needed and “I take my time. Ain’t get paid by the hour” 👏. Thanks !!
This poor guy was 18 when he started.
Great job on the hydrangea!

Love it. Husbands like to intrigue the wives. What is a few dollars for water?
Was the end result worth it though? I'm thinking of just going into my rocks with a pressure washer and a good liquid soap

Those hydrangeas are HEAVENLY. Good job.
My wife is a great gardner.
Living your best life sir. Cheers

Thanks a ton great tutorial
Great job, you gave me a great idea now how to make a garden sive
If we could only come up with a simple power machine to do this?
And this is why I will NEVER use rock as a ground cover. Rocks are a pain in the butt. No matter what you do dirt will get in between

I was hoping there would be an easier way. I’m using a grill basket.😂 So much work! 🥵
Can you tell me please what kind of sheet you’re using underneath the rocks?
I purchased the material almost 20 years ago and cannot remember brand. There was three grades of material I purchased the most expensive.
@@Verscoyle :ok, thanks.
@@calins1967 It's called Weed Barrier and get the best you can afford.
@@wutzg.owenon5869 thanks☺️☺️
I wish I could hear your better! You have a great personality and very funny, it was hard to hear your jokes lol
The material under the rock is really good. What brand do you use? Mine is fall apart when the rock gets dirty.
I had the same question! I want to clean white rocks but theres dirt underneath, i want to put the rocks on something solid instead of dirt
I just saw someone else's comment. They said it's called Weed Barrier and the man in the video said he bought the most expensive one they had at the store
That’s a method for a retired guy with lots of time and still has plenty of verily!
I was afraid that is how you do it
Did you find any gold? 😁 thanks for the tips. I need to do this but not looking forward to it
No gold. Just a mindless, relaxing chore once I got to it.

Is that plastic edging?
Yes, Benderboard is the name of the product. Would have got thicker version in hindsight.
@@Verscoyle Does it warp under the sun? I'm in DallasTX
It changes length slightly with temp changes. Has not warped as of last 7 years? www.benderboardlandscapeproducts.com/
@@Verscoyle I wonder if a lot of the dirt you are reclaiming is washing out from under the bender board. It looked like it stopped at the above the ground cloth.
@@nanasloves Could be some, definitely.
How often do you have to do this?
When it bothers you.

God Bless ya, but too much extra work. Why not just hose down the stones in place ? That works for my property.
This was 18 years of sediment. Washing does not work and is not as much fun making video.

You found it?
Exactly how I wash mine, stones in place. Efficient and no extra time consuming work, so I can move on to my next chore.
I'm thinking of just pressure washing the shit out of mine. My back hurts just looking at this but gotta hand it to ths guy, he does a thorough job
Where is the dirt going to go when you pressure wash them?
and you got a wheelbarrow full of soil.
All the earth that was removed is re-purposed back into the gardens.
Break time

Looks like you’re mining for gold.....
Maybe I should incorporate panning in to the process?
