We finish putting the retaining wall back together and then re-install the landscaping, transplant plants, finish grading out the ruts and cap the wall.
I am really enjoying the job site day to day videos. As a new small business owner I also enjoy the product and tool review videos! You are my favorite channel on TH-cam.
I'm not surprised by the second time since that was just a loading error. But the first time? Who steps into a loaded 'barrow to step down from a trailer?
Stan, I'd be grateful if someday you could do an overview of landscape fabric (how it works, what types are available, when should it be used or not used, etc.). If you've already covered this topic I'd appreciate a link to that episode. Thank you.
Good job well done. I like watching the lads working on jobs but find your interviews really interesting. You ask the questions I'd like to know the answers to. You are an engaging bloke, when you speak I usually learn something. Your editing and background music are brilliant, so professional. It's a real slick channel without trying to be (if that makes sense!)
They work well together, not wasting time and keeping things going, even anticipating where the other is and providing support with out verbal communication sometimes.
Love these job site videos. As a homeowner, the equipment reviews... Not so much... But I would think doing the jobsite videos would also give you documentation for any type of legal dispute. As a homeowner, it gives me a huge appreciation to where all my money goes. Yes, I paid a lot, but going the extra mile of using black dirt and using fabric under the rocks on top. WOW! The only thing you missed was watering in the plants. ❤🌅🌵
It would be hard in the MSP area because of airports and no fly zones so really it would be useless. It would be cool though! I live outside the twin cities in Hudson Wisc.
I liked the time lapses and showing the progress your guys make on the variety of jobs you take on. You've done work in my neighborhood and it's a pleasure to look at.
@America totally understand! Those days I'm in my climate controlled cab when it's overly hot, rain / sleet, or blowing snow,.... I certainly don't miss concrete, framing, e.t.c!
I drove past going to my job site the retaining wall looks very good! I was honking and your guys looked at me like what the hell does that crazy guy want haha , it's right there off Jackson
Generally the variety makes your channel so interesting, Stan. I'd prefer a little bit more jobsite-clips, because tool-reviews obviously are nice, but not what i am interested in primarily. Greetings from Frankonia (Germany), Stefan
These videos are very helpful. I work full time fire and doing side gigs with no mentor so these videos are amazing for helping see correct ways of doing things. Any help with bidding is always appreciated too! Tools reviews are awesome for anything down to the shovel haha I ran a excavation gig for a while but here in the PNW we get shut down ALOT due to weather/rain and making a payment for a rig to sit is painful. Thank you again for the videos ! And what length have you found optimal for your dump trailers ? Also why farm hitch em? I’m currently running a 14 ft GN pj and going to trade in on a diamond C bumper pull to open up bed space !
2 questions Who had to pay for this wall repair the home owner or the water Company? How much do you charge for a job like this per foot or a different way. Just wondering there's so many different ways people charge for jobs just trying to learn as much as humanly possible
It helps with overall soil health and porosity. Also if they ever wanna plant more in the bed, the plant s will have a better chance. The price difference is within probably 3-$5.00 difference
Wondering if you have a video describing any differences in base prep and drainage considerations for a driveway / ditch culvert wall compared to a normal retaining wall. Is the same base carried up the sides of the ditch? What about drainage behind this wall. (where does / should it go?) I'm going to tackle this project one way or another. I've learned alot from your videos; namely that this base is the most critical part. Thanks either way, Troop. Stay safe.
Work smarter, not harder. The white stone should have been loaded above the wheels of the dump trailer. Push the wheel barrel up the ramp. Not shovel the stone on the ground, then have to pick it up, put it in the wheelbarrow then move 4ft., just to dump it out. Just a suggestion.
When moving rock that close I prefer to use a scoop shovel one guy in the box scooping and a guy walking to place it each scoop trading a full shovel for the empty. Can move a lot of material fast and don't have to scoop it twice.
Damn brother they do kick ass work man that looks freaking amazing and you can't even tell you got awesome crew brother 💯👊🏼👊🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼brother I don't even know what to say on video ideas right yet maybe I could come up with something but damn you cover at all bro👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼💯
Damn you got a great crew right now. Do you ever watch other contractors. I am currently hooked on "Andrew camarta" I'm not sure if its because it's like watching a train wreck or good work
@@Dirtmonkey I love that he thinks outside the box and, a little rough on the equipment ... but he owns it so that's his choice. My favorite thing is his finish work on natural looking ditches. I wonder how after a year with a great coach from different jobs like you how he would do
I am really enjoying the job site day to day videos. As a new small business owner I also enjoy the product and tool review videos! You are my favorite channel on TH-cam.
Great to hear, I really appreciate that!!
Your crew looks like surgeons. I really appreciate how they treat each job as if it was their own home.
Hats of to the guys doing the work. That kind of work takes a lot of strength and stamina.
Lol, I cant believe he flipped that wheelbarrow twice.
I'm not surprised by the second time since that was just a loading error. But the first time? Who steps into a loaded 'barrow to step down from a trailer?
That was very cool. I don't feel so awkward now. Too funny. Jim
I like seeing these job site videos. It is nice to see how others not only experience the same issues, but how you fix them.
Thanks a lot Scott !
You should be very proud of the team you have put together and their finished jobs. Excellent teamwork and skills.
A bit of everything Stan. The variety of your channel is nice!
I appreciate that, thanks Mark !
I agree with Mark Rahkola. Variety is good. Thumbs up Stan!
I'll echo what they said. The variety keeps down the monotony and boredom. Thank you for what you do.
Agreeing with Mark here I don’t think there’s ever been another contractor as informative as Stan
tipped wheelbarrow twice. guess someone is buying lunch for next 2 weeks
Really enjoying these style of videos. Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them, thank you !
Love the job site videos and the tool shows too. Really nice job on the retaining wall. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks 👍, appreciate that Jeff !
Stan, I'd be grateful if someday you could do an overview of landscape fabric (how it works, what types are available, when should it be used or not used, etc.). If you've already covered this topic I'd appreciate a link to that episode. Thank you.
Might I say! You have very good, dedicated, and caring workers. Job site was very well taken care of!
I really like these job site videos a lot more than the tool reviews
Thanks for letting me know !

Much appreciated, I really appreciate the support Ethan !
I'm so grateful you take time out of your work day to film this. Thank you.
You are so welcome, grateful that YOU take the time to watch !!
They work well together, not wasting time and keeping things going, even anticipating where the other is and providing support with out verbal communication sometimes.
Like the quick turnaround jobs, nice & tidy work 👍
Thanks 👍
problem solving and repair jobs like this are very helpful. I like to see those
More to come, thank you !!
Great Work! Cant wait to see the next job site!
More to come!
I watch your channel for the job site work. Keep them coming.
Wow that wall looks like nothing ever happend you guys do amazing work 💯 hope u have a great week. Thanks for the video
Thank you! You too Michael !
The jobsite videos are my favorite, but I like them all.
Thank you and glad to have you here and watching !
so fun to see this beautiful city in a video
A fantastic team very aware of the detail for a great job done.
Many thanks Maria !

Thanks for the comments Suzi!!
Good video. You should get a drone Stan. I use one quite a bit on mine. Think you could get some sick shots of your projects with it.
I second this Stan. Could be cool.
It would be hard in the MSP area because of airports and no fly zones so really it would be useless. It would be cool though! I live outside the twin cities in Hudson Wisc.
Even in hyper speed you can see your guys attention to detail and hard work. Fantastic crew you have there Stan.
I liked the time lapses and showing the progress your guys make on the variety of jobs you take on. You've done work in my neighborhood and it's a pleasure to look at.
More job site videos like this one! Your guys should carry a wire brush on their truck for cleaning the blocks. It'd work well.
Great idea, thanks for watching !
Fun watching the little ants move that fast at the labor job in fast mode 😅
You have a great crew. There seem to be a lot of manual labor but not to may complaints.
Another awesome video. I always learn something from them. Thanks keep sharing. Much appreciated
Thanks so much Joseph, happy to help you out !!
Feeling like a BOSS, as I watch others do work that normally I do... 😎😎
Those plants are hydrangeas. They always go dormant in winter. Good think they left them.
I love running heavy equipment, but I do miss landscaping, and concrete work!
Do or do not?
@@matts3729 I do miss it. All the years I did concrete, I must have gotten cement in my brain because I am planning on getting back into it!
@America totally understand! Those days I'm in my climate controlled cab when it's overly hot, rain / sleet, or blowing snow,.... I certainly don't miss concrete, framing, e.t.c!
Lovin these time lapse videos
Glad to hear it, thanks!
I enjoy these jobsite videos seeing how you guys go about things and see that you use what you can and make it work!
Thanks a lot James, I appreciate the comments!
great job on these videos stan / it really helps to see the projects broken down like this !
Glad to hear it, thank you !
Great 👍 Videos..
All your work is amazing 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice. Keep up the job sight videos. Good job. Thanks.
Thanks, will do Kevin !
Stan do a little bit of everything, everything you do it the best, you should try throw back projects on Thursday

I like these daily job videos
Thanks Marcus !

Love to hear that Joe, thank you !
I drove past going to my job site the retaining wall looks very good! I was honking and your guys looked at me like what the hell does that crazy guy want haha , it's right there off Jackson
Love the videos like this. Thanks and stay safe!
Thanks, will do Alan !
Stan, I enjoy all of your videos. A lot of variety.

Great video!! Awesome and thorough job as always!!💜💜💜
I appreciate that KD!
Ya definitely like the job site videos
Thank you Keith !
Wish I could move that Fast!
are you dumb, you now this is sped up
@@Nixtutru No l'm not dumb. I know, not (now) the difference!
More job site video's. All your videos are good.
Thanks so much Tony !
Seems like you’ve been less upbeat these past videos. Might be all the voice overs. Haha. Hope you’re doing good and keep making videos you enjoy.
Will do, thanks Jesus !
Is no one going to mention how fast those cars and trucks are going haha
Generally the variety makes your channel so interesting, Stan.
I'd prefer a little bit more jobsite-clips, because tool-reviews obviously are nice, but not what i am interested in primarily.

Thanks Stefan , I appreciate the comments !
This is a crew I could trust to do anything around my property.

I like unusual job finds like removing a concrete slab only to find a hand dug well/ or cistern underneath. Mine shaft capping and backfilling.
The job site videos and the Tools videos are excellent keep it up 👍
Thanks, will do!
Great video! Very cool!
Thank you very much Jim !

commenting so i will see his reply as well.
My I suggest a two wheel wheelbarrow? Way less likely to tip over. 😀
Practice makes perfect no need for an other wheelbarrow
No
I would like to see more like this tools and Toro dingos.
Got it Jeff, thanks !
Looks like they did a nice job
I enjoy these videos the most.
Thanks for telling me and for watching !
@@Dirtmonkey I learn a lot from these videos.
Great job guys! Looks awesome!
I appreciate that Matt !
Dont see the point in using top soil under weed barier
It helps with overall soil health and porosity. Also if they ever wanna plant more in the bed, the plant s will have a better chance. The price difference is within probably 3-$5.00 difference
IDK if it's just something that's done around here where I live but and water main repairs the city comes back in the spring to fix the landscaping
yeah, good luck getting the city to come out for anything that isn't immediately endangering lives.
Nice work. Good attention to detail.
Thank you Kurt !
great video, like these ones.
Glad to hear, thanks Steve !!

Nice Job! I have an idea of what it takes to retaining wall and landscaping. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great!!
Thank you Dave !
It’s so hard to find those wall cap. I’m needing some this week
Loving these videos
Thank you !
They some hard ass workers!!!
Then the customer comes home and says... i dont like the color. Can we change it quick?
🤣 I shouldn't laugh, I would wager a large amount, it's happened!
Well done gents.
Thanks a lot !
Good crew
Just keep doing it the way you are doing it., when subs start slowing then change things up.
Those guy's did a great job.👍 it look like it didn't happen stay safe out there guy's
You too Richard, thank you !
Sounds like an audio book murder mystery for retention wall repair.
More of all of the above. Anything!!!!
Thanks Justin !
@@Dirtmonkey i would like to see more video's on mini skid steerer's and smaller end equipment like that.
Great job on the content recently! Keep it up if you can
Thanks, will do!
Work smarter, not harder. The white stone should have been loaded above the wheels of the dump trailer. Push the wheel barrel up the ramp. Not shovel the stone on the ground, then have to pick it up, put it in the wheelbarrow then move 4ft., just to dump it out.

@@Dirtmonkey Just productive criticism. You do have awesome workers. Don't want you to take it the wrong way!
When moving rock that close I prefer to use a scoop shovel one guy in the box scooping and a guy walking to place it each scoop trading a full shovel for the empty. Can move a lot of material fast and don't have to scoop it twice.
Putting the wheelbarrow straight on helps when dealing with stone.
You guys and fabric. I hate that stuff. Full of weeds in no time in my experience.
Great 👍🏻 video
Thanks 👍 , appreciate it Joshua !
Nice work, but why did they put black dirt under the weed control fabric?
What brand of block is the wall? Thanks good video.
Who gets billed for this since the city had to repair this? The city or homeowner?
Tmanus homeowner. That’s city property and the owner built the wall on it
Damn brother they do kick ass work man that looks freaking amazing and you can't even tell you got awesome crew brother 💯👊🏼👊🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼brother I don't even know what to say on video ideas right yet maybe I could come up with something but damn you cover at all bro👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼💯
Thank you Roy !
@@Dirtmonkey big big welcome my good brother👍👍✊✊👊👊
How can you get your company to do work on my land? Need a retaining wall and you guys are the best!!! I’m Located in Pennsylvania
Please help lol!!!!
All of it keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot !
See everything , it's all good.
Thanks for viewing Mark!
Nice job, question why did you use fabric? I hate the stuff and does not seem to work for weed control.
Damn you got a great crew right now. Do you ever watch other contractors. I am currently hooked on "Andrew camarta" I'm not sure if its because it's like watching a train wreck or good work
I love andrews stuff. He's just interesting guy. What is it that you like about his videos?
@@Dirtmonkey
I love that he thinks outside the box and, a little rough on the equipment ... but he owns it so that's his choice. My favorite thing is his finish work on natural looking ditches. I wonder how after a year with a great coach from different jobs like you how he would do
Tell Sam to do glue dots instead of lines. More contact points = stronger hold.
I love the job site videos
Thanks for letting me know Maceo !
Job site and equipment videos. Or anything you feel like!
Got it Adam, thanks !
