- Using Large 5-6 foot boulders I start all over on my retaining walls. I take out old Stone & CMU walls, Excavate to open the view, Start to finish complete the 2nd wall, regrade and clean-up

This video popped up in my feed so I decided to check it out. Now I’ve subscribed and been binge watching old episodes. Love the explanations and tips.
I work for an irrigation company. Real small. And im learning all kinds of new stuff and hell even teaching my boss some tricks. Thanks to all of you. Great crew and even cooler Boss.
When ever i see that you uploaded I get so happy, I love your content
Thank you so much! you rock !
As a fellow landscaper in Minnesota your an inspiration
much appreciated🙏
The stepped retaining wall looks great. Very natural. Thanks
This was one if your most enjoyable videos.
I really like what you’re doing with the boulders, more like a natural rock fall setting or rock quarry rather than a wall. The grandkids are going to have a blast climbing on it regardless.
Just finished my first week of work with lawn care/ landscaping! I love it! Keep up the great work! Have a great day! Stay safe
Thanks! You too!
Landscaping is definitely an art. Awesome video!
It really is!
I love watching your videos for 2 reasons you know what the hell you're doing and take pride in it, and 2 you probably could have someone else do all the work but you are still there in the middle of it.
Lucy is a sweetie. She deserves to be spoiled. 😊
Yeah- she sure is.
Great Job Well Done. Big difference from old & new. Stones laid in well with your choices.
Looking great. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
Huge improvement over the old wall, great work, definitely have an artistic eye….
An artist always sees where improvements can be made, at a certain point you have to figure out where to stop or it will never be finished……
Thanks a bunch!
You are awesome at your job and with TH-cam. I love you videos
Love the video. Has my brain juices flowing for my house
That looks amazing, particularly fond of the island!
I liked the island as well. I was planning on taking that out but it makes it interesting.
Stan, the project is looking 👍👍👍👍👍🤗
Thanks 👍
Coming together really nice, gotta love water front property projects 👍
Its a fun transformation to work on.👊
Thanks for bringing the fist pump at the end back. I was just thinking about that a week or two ago. I missed it, and hope you keep it up.
Looks even better! Always great advice and awesome work performance!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the flow and the content. God bless mate
"officer, it wasn't vandalism, it was creativity with a bobcat!"
😂
I think you did a great job on those walls!
Beautiful job I had the same and vision with the exact same ideas... looks beautiful
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice job, Stan !
Appreciate it 👊
You have a good eye . Thats coming out nice. Good video.
Thanks 👍
This project will be fun to follow
Yeah! its been a fun one to tackle.
Great video.
You're making it work with the skidsteer but certainly an excavator is preferred for all this rock placing. Best situation to have both, i make it pretty well with my kubota kx040 and an ssv65. None the less Great job!
I want one of those kubota Exc's. do you like your 40?
@@Dirtmonkey Yes the kubota mini ex's are fantastic machines, sometimes i wish i had the slightly bigger 57 but 90% of the time the 40 is plenty strong! Feels very well balanced compared to other brands i tried, maybe its a thing of "getting used to" as each machine is a bit different. My next addition to the pack will be an SVL90 or the newer 95 for heavier work.
Starting to look really nice there, Stan!
Thank you for another awesome video 👍
Thank for watching!
I'd love to be selecting boulders with you on this project. I've been wondering about how your place flooded. Then there it is. This is the first time that I've seen your river. Nice! Thanks for the video Stan...
great work as always
Appreciate that
I like how it opened up the area, seems much bigger now.
Hi I woch your videos everyday tell the team I said hi and I woch thor videos everyday I love you guys I love the video
Hi Bud! Thanks for watching and I hope you have an awesome week!
Lookin’ good Stan !!! Can’t wait to see it all softscaped (even though I really just like rocks I know it will make em pop)
Looks really good!
Love the videos keep up the good work
Glad you like them!
Looking fantastic. Let’s go fishing though!
Great video Stan 🇺🇲
sure would be nice if you were to get a transfer tank in the back of that truck of yours..lol great video as always.
Looks great !
Looks Great.
Thanks!
Coming together great
It's looking good Stan, you really have a good eye in how to meld your design! As for big rocks, I have a mining related one that happened to me about a decade ago, I'll tell you sometime if you care to hear about it...
Yeah- I love good stories!
Stan your one busy man 👍
Always something going on. Hows your day going?
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I'd really like to see the end result after it's graded, planted and mulched.
I wish I was there helping you do that. I love working with natural rock an making something nice out of them. I know when we go outside working in the dirt and touching the rocks for years we get more energy from them because we are feeling the Earth's frequency flowing through our bodies and we do enjoy it. Take your shoes off and walk around in the dirt, then tell me how much better you feel. It works. Hit that like button also, TH-cam's algorithm will put this video where more people will see it. It helps out alot, an if you haven't already subscribe to this channel do it now and ring the bell so you will get notified when new video gets posted. Don't forget, hit that Like Button. Go outside an enjoy the sunshine, play or walk around barefooted in the dirt and play in the water. We know it works, look at the kids energy levels when they play outside, just like we did many years ago. All three of those will help your body feel alot better. Sunlight, water, and the Earth's frequency flows through our bodies making us happier and healthier. God bless us all.
Looking good Stan. We think you did are doing an above grade
Lol, God bless bro.
Been waiting for this.
hope you like it!
@@Dirtmonkey absolutely sir. Place is a work in progress but the improvement 👌and I know there is more to come. That's the best part. Looking forward to see what comes next.
Thanks Stan, your videos are super.. Keep up the awesome work, whens the next yard cleanup/ mowing vid??
Very soon! I just got done filming a Hustler 88 in super tall grass just now.
@@Dirtmonkey Very noice, can't wait
I wish it was a nice 65 here in Texas but its been in the 90s for a few weeks.
Brutal
@@Dirtmonkey ohh yeah especially with the humidity
I'm impressed that this ASV was able to lift those large boulders.
Wonder if cat 259d that I work with has that much lifting power.
Talking about ASV, I'm surprised that there's no ASV dealer anywhere in Europe (as far as I know at least).
They seem to be so good machines that are worth exporting to the other side of the ocean as well.
Like the real rocks. Have you explained what that rubber, rock facade on lower walls is? Do you really like it? I'm not lovin it. It do not have a final vision of the timber facade, the fake rubber rock facade with the big boulders. I love your channel nevertheless! You are what makes America a great place to live in. You work hard and play hard!
You summed it up well. I have the final big picture in my mind. I will shopw it when its all done. But I agree- at this point its hard to picture.
Just found the answer to the name of the shoes, they look quite nice 👌
here to help
Hi Nash👋. Thank you!👊
Looks like some kind of low rent James Bond villain hideout
😂 its not done yet- give it a chance
Another cool video
Very interesting
Also, don’t know if you care or not but I’m not a huge fan of the time lapse only because it’s hard to pick out fine details that some people are looking for…your videos are still really entertaining enough that I don’t leave half way through like other channels.
Like I said, if you don’t care that’s totally fine, but just in case your were looking for our opinions, here they are :)
Cool, thanks. I appreciate it. I love the time lapse. i know you lose the details but you get to take so much in so fast. Its like information overload.
@@Dirtmonkey I like the time lapse as well but maybe stick with footage outside the equipment, had to look away during the time lapse view from inside the cab. Kinda made my head hurt lol. I dig that wall tho nice job!
@@Dirtmonkey That’s very true… glad you care about what the viewers say. Even though we have opposing view points on the time lapses, you still communicate with us.
Props for being a hard working/caring youtuber
Keep the great videos coming :)
Stanley is officially STONED...lol
😂
Sandstone Mn I used to live and fish a lot at robin park. Heck I had my high school senior picture there too.
Retaining walls look much better. Great work. An equipment question? What is your preference in skid steer loaders tired or tracked and why? I see from your videos y’all have both styles
Tracks- I love tracks!
You make it look easy, but I know it's not. Looks Good. P.S. Nice flow with the music.
The plantings will really add to the overall. I don't know how you find the patience to set those stones.
👀👀🍺🍺👍καλητεχνης μπραβο
You need to use some of the excess rocks to make a fire/bbq pit down near the water. Maybe even stone pizza oven.
Those will get used up very soon.
I think your right no rocks around tree
Lucy is so funny.
Are you planting grass between the two walls? Or are you gonna leave it dirt? Or put stone down! I feel like a certain river rock or crushed stone would look so good between those and contrast the stone! Of course I know you said you’re going for a native look and not sure that fits the scene but just what popped into my head looking at it! Love these longer operating/ building videos!
Im planting all the joints
Rocks on rocks. 🥃
Still watching from uk 🇬🇧 Stan you starting to look like you need a holiday? When we getting to sty more of he farm. Great video
Ment see farm
Always wondered what happened to that faux stone covering thing that was on your fireplace
Exactly what I was thinking.
love it
Man id take 65 any day. Especially now its hit 100 here today in oklahoma
What I would do is now put cement in front of the door but stamp it with like those stamps that make it look like rock idk what its called.. and make a home made tables like out of a stump or some thing natural for your rock seats
Where do you get your boulders from? Wall looks great
Those were in a quarry I filmed 2 videos back. You can see us picking them up for this project.
did i miss a video?, what is the stone looking facade on both side of the doors? another good video stan.
Thats from universal rocks. I didn't make a video of it going on.
Hey Stan, would you ever think of visiting Abercrombie, ND? I could really use a professional opinion on a yard problem, and give the work to someone who knows what they're doing
I thought you had some grapple attachments for the skid steer ? love working with rock . much better than that fake stuff .
Stanly. It just hit 97 today in my backyard. My fat ass got mild heat stroke in 30 minutes. I'd kill for AC in a bobcat like that.
I love that skid steer!
People who talk animals like family members cannot be all bad LOL ♡♡
I agree
Stan new Boulder wall looks great but what is on the wall is it supposed to look like stone Smitts beer the owner use to live about 15 min from my house we used to work for his neighbor he used to have a huge Christmas display at his house Ortliebs beer owner used to live a block away from him also in Drexel hill pa
The stuff on the wall is faux stone. That can was older than all get out. Pretty cool how it was preserved.
@@Dirtmonkey neat always finding treasure like that
I wish it was 65, today was 90
Please explain the rubber rock on the house
Its not rubber but more like bedliner, Tougher than anything and Light., looks like rock,
@@Dirtmonkey interesting!!
Good Evening. How's the day going. Gatorade today.
Very good. Thanks for hopping in tonight. Sparkling ice ginger Lime. Hows your Day Been.
@@Dirtmonkey Day is going good.
Would it be possible to use the leftover boulders to build a dyke on the upstream side of your property to redirect overflow away from the building and reduce/delay damage from future flooding?
Those boulders have a new home coming soon.
Did you put a crack in one your faux boulders on that right side behind the sitting boulder?
Yep-Their is a seam that I haven't put together yet.
Sam's Club locally to me carries Sure-cans.
What kind of shoes do you have on? I kinda like them.
What is that stuff on your wall? Is there an episode where you talk about it?
Amazon sells those sure cans. Tempted to buy a couple when I got the money.
They are really nice!
@@shanew7361 I'll take a look into those as well.
Hi Stan,how offten did flooding occure ?If it happened every few years I would of closed off that wall completely and waterproofed it.Then mabey a wrap around deck at the frist floor level? I would hate to see it under water and the celler flooded again.
It's funny, he said not to have the wall straight up yet the back of the small stones on top line up with the back of the large stones on bottom.
Yep- sometimes you break your own rule if it feels right.
Hilarious
Dirt Monkey, (don't laugh) have you taken courses or other studies to learn how dirt, rock, erosion, and visual flows should be designed and developed or is all of this just experience and passion? Your videos definitely stand out. Thanks.
Who else needs a 🚜
Where is hot tub to soak out in after all that work?
Ive got a lake for that
How you like the Kujos?
11 mins after upload. That’s a new personal record lol
Nice! hope you like the vid!
