I love how this channel grows through the quality of its content and not through clickbait titles and thumbnails.
“I got some more bee spray” lights massive torch
I didn’t think I’d watch 51 minutes of “driveway resurfacing” but I did. Super satisfying. The inner child in me wants to drive all those pieces of equipment.
I'm now living vicariously through him.
Yeah buddy.

It's so nice to a young man that can run like machines like well oiled Swiss watch and know what he is doing because most kids his age can do little more than play with their dicks and cell phone. I watched it too not because I don't run machines either it's nice to see these thinking kids if he is local I got a little job if he wants it. It was a good video however where I live in northeastern Pocono's that was a cake job with no gigantic boulders sticking up out of that driveway. Leads me to believe an excavator earthed it as we call it some home owners here in the pocono area paid big bucks to have those annoying Klinkers remover and bed the driveway with the larger granite and clay packing material and that fine material he is manipulating went over the top. I did a few Towamensing Trails and Lake Harmony. Not every one wanted then lumpy bumpy boulders in the original homes path way as well as petrified prehistoric tree stumps that also turn up in new and existing construction
Same,what is it about Andrew??
He makes a good video.
Dean.
I need a bulldozer. Not sure what for, but after watching this video, I need one.
Rob Cappa you could probably operate it better than this guy for sure
I couldnt get a dozer in but i could park a skidsteer in my garage!
Jeff Panetta this guy is a decent dozer hand from what I can see. For what all he does with it id say he’s doing good.
When you buy a dozer, work for it will appear if you look for it.
Same... Good hobby... "Hey do you mind if I bulldoze out a bunch of trees in your front driveway for a few hours? I'll bring my dozer and pay for fuel"
Andrew I appreciate that your first thought with that play-yard was to take it down to give it to friends with kids. You are a really great example to all of us that work for a living. I hope some of the kindness you show others finds its way back to you.
Andrew, I take my hat off to you sir. You truly are a one-man show. When I saw your truck stuck, I was like "what's he going to do now? There's no one else to drive another machine to pull him out." How dare I underestimate your "get'r done" initiative. At minute mark 23, when you set the Yanmar off on its own, I was like "ok, I've now seen it all, I should probably go back to my day job." Thank you so much for taking the time to share your work. It is truly inspiring. Keep it up!!
10000000% spot on haha I literally Said the same thing to myself. I was like now how tf is he gonna get himself out of that "rut" literally lol and bam the damn yanmar is running on its own in reverse seeing him bolt to the dump truck bahahahahaha fckn epic movie there!
I'm sure it was my 'body english' as I was watching (10 months later) that helped the most !
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Trust me, its not the first time he's done that.
A reponse only a merkin could add. Good dog.
I am an old 73 year old Vietnam veteran.
I started driving big truck when I was 14 years old and it is good to see a young man driving and not using the clutch
You were tough well.
I think I can see why your channel is popular, sir. Alot of us enjoy watching jobs done, and thinking of how we would do it, and also learn a few things :-) No tv can beat this.
refreshing to see some one with common sense and a problem solver .. with out being held by the hand and told what to do ... awesome vid !!!!
Andrew, you are a very hard working young man. I like the fact that you are non cocky and showed compassion for some child in need rather than destroying the playground for time sake. God Bless You. I love your videos.
Me too. So appreciated his right spirit of Recycling rather than Destruction that is the norm of our society.
Yep, I was just thinking how Lets Dig would have smashed that thing.
And now for our full length feature movie of the week THE DRIVEWAY starring Andrew Camarata as the operator. Thanks for sharing.

Another one I see.. I knew I wasn't alone.
I wonder what piece of equipment they'll use to roll out the red carpet with at the awards ceremony? Better yet, who will do it---maybe Andrew?
Most people can operate these machines. But using them properly is a whole different kettle of fish.
The man knows what he’s going big time.
You Sir are an extremely talented human being!!! An asset to your clients and community BRAVO!!
Working at my home office job, is nothing compared to the satisfying work that you do. If their were two of you, unfathomable what could be accomplished !!!
I know nothing about your equipment (except what I have learned from your videos) but I find your videos very interesting and relaxing to watch. You have an amazing knowledge of your equipment. I enjoy both your excavation work and your repair work. Your work always looks great. You spend a lot of time with great camera angles and editing. Your music selections are great. Thanks.
Found these AC videos just a few days ago. He is amazing. Who else could make grading, demo and repairs and maintenance so entertaining. This country needs many more million Andrews. The work ethic, a self starter, the common sense approach to just about everything. Aside from the work he does, his videos are among the best on CZcams. Great camera and drone work. "Soundtracks" are great. You can tell he is very detail oriented in absolutely everything he does. Back to his work....I wish he lived near me.
And love that dog!
You might want to check your nose for brown spots there bud.
I'm a black guy here but you see he could have chosen to become a rapper musicians or a drug dealer but decided not to.😅
You’d be surprised. This country is slap full of Andrews we just don’t record it & post it on CZcams. Not only that but the media just doesn’t promote people like us. That’s just not newsworthy. America is the place for self employed “ditch diggers”. Some of us only work enough to just make it through & some of us make a doctors salary or more. This guy is the embodiment of America & you’re finally getting a glimpse of it. This is literally what they mean by the “American dream”
I gotta admit though, his calm and steady approach to everything is something I envy.. a lot.
24K+👍's up Andrew thanks again for taking us all along with you to work with you
Great job, you show real world, getting stuck, how to tailgate gravel, running off road in dump truck and correcting it, loading timber
I discovered your channel 3 weeks ago and my daughter and I cannot see enough of your channel. I love your honest, hardworking, can-do attitude man. Awesome videos and great channel. Keep it up Andrew! The world need more people like you
Andrew is definitely a good person and a great example for people out there
ANDREW is by far the smartest guy ever, bought a mountain, used resources from mountain to repair his road and driveway,
Gave away tress to make lumber to build a house, took down swinger for a friend with kids have a toy, SMART, GENEROUS, HONORABLE, CARING, INVENTIVE, ECT , ECT SO MANY OTHER THINGS, young man
You are the future, keel up great job...😏
I love your channel! It’s something that is super cool to me. I am 69 and female and would love to do what you do! This would surprise my family and friends!
Hugs Andrew and Stay safe!

It's fun to watch, even though I myself was an excavator driver and machinist in the sewer and road construction for almost 40 years.
Today I am a pensioner and would like to return to the excavator when I see something like this :)
Greetings from Germany

Good thoughts and comment! Agreed, so fun to watch. Hope you noticed the beauty of Hudson Valley NewYork in the video too.
Good video...
But, he should make a small Ditch: before grading the road.. for the water into & not Pooling under the gravel.
Chris from Colebury Indeed! Andrews many talents unfold before us like arts and Entertainment! Sooo addicting. 😁🤣Such a Great job he always does too. He makes it look so dang easy! Thanks Andrew and Be Safe All! 👍👏🏻😁😷
Also reminds me of the Upstate NY woods I spent half my childhood in. Just beautiful woods to stroll thru, but LOTS poison ivy/sumacs. Andrew hates it as much as I do, as seen in a recent video! 👏🏻👍😂He Tore it right up! 👊🏻👏🏻🤣
Wow I am in awe!! I have never seen someone pull themselves out of rut ALONE with his 2 pieces of his own equipment. You Andrew, deserve a metal for thinking outside the box. Thank you for sharing these videos you “ROCK” no pun intended. I love every single one you post👏 oh the 489 👎you get only WISH they had your skills it’s pure jealousy.

Andrew, I totally feel for you every time I see your single axel dump get stuck on what seems like "wet grass". I had a 88' I.H. S-1900 single axel dump that I bought new. & After a couple of months of pulling it out with the dozer or mini excavator... I wished I had bought a 4x4 version or tandem..... very frustrating at times but overall it was a great truck ! Especially if you're doing a lot of residential work and need to get a truck into tight areas and such... Great job as always & thanks for sharing your passion and excellence.. Stay safe
I had a 5 ton ford single axle dump that got stuck on near all the jobs but it could carry everything on it...Loved that truck...
Second time around,..he sure can operate,work,film,edit,and have fun...good dude!
and the drone shots are awesome
Have u seen the container castle he build by himself?? Amazing
@@rj33015 yes twice now ave a good day,,,eh!
I worked construction for 40yrs., and I wish it was the fun and game's I see all you guy's have, and bigger paycheck.
The drone footage at the quarry was absolutely amazing. Hooking up the excavator unmanned to pull out the dump truck is something I have never seen anyone do. But it worked and you didn't need to ask anyone for help. Way to go.
Not only do you perform high quality work for your customers, but you go the extra mile in producing many different camera angles for us CZcams customers. I've watched so many of your videos ... and just keep wanting more. My hats off to you Andrew !!! :)
Unless you’re buying his merch don’t call yourself a customer. You’re just a viewer.
I’ve missed these videos. So I’m re-watching them.
Exactly Christopher. Andrew is doing what would love to be able to do. He does such an awesome job of everything he tackles, and he tackles everything. I started watching him over a year ago and he just amazes me.

I started on a D8 with a cable blade lift. No hydraulics at all, lol your videos bring back good memories. Loaders are my favorite to operate. Less impact on my back. Good job.
I’ve been watching you for years. I’ve decided to go back and rewatch your old videos (for customers). I have to say that these are really good. The content and your skills as an operator. You’ve come a long way Andrew, good for you. Keep on posting. Thanks. G
The drone footage of your truck getting loaded up at the gravel yard was very unique. Love the videos!

Great video. Really enjoyed how each piece of equipment had its role in the project.
“There’s still more bees I got more bee spray” *pulls out flame thrower*
😂😂😂😂 wasnt expecting a full blown torch
“I got some more bee spray” *lights massive torch*
lol
Ha
This good bee spray right here...
This is Andrew Camarata, so no surprises there, lol
I laughed really hard hahahahaha that was hilarious
I was putting in a 30 pound storm window (20 years ago) and a swarm of wasps came out of the eaves when I was stung on my right eye 7 times. Walked to the hospital 4 miles for a shot of epinephrine and some prescription Valium. Worth the walk! Killed me some wasps later. Loved your bee spray!
Your children will definitely enjoy the swing and slide that you brought home, For them.
Your videos are mesmerizing. I have done a lot of wood carving, sculpture and body work on cars and I gotta tell you the way you shape the earth is artistic as hell . Love watching the way you use the big equipment like it is an extension of yourself. Great stuff Andrew.
F
I love to watch you and your equipment in operation. It’s a fluid motion of perfection. Thank you for making your great videos and may the Lord keep you blessed and safe through each day.
I am impressed with the way you leave your job sites. Everything level clean.
Andrew what I like about your videos which I can relate to is, you repair your equipment. Many other sites buy new which turns me off, anyone can buy new.
He certainly knows how to operate his equipment but even better he has an eye for the topography and Grading. I don't know how old this
Young fella is but it appears he's had some good mentoring.
He's 34.
No mentoring. I can tell he was born on a tractor! Im the same way. Aint nothing i cant operate
You are great Andrew. I love watching your videoes. Great job once again, and your a great guy when you think of your friends children, when you see a swingset like this. 👍
This is one of the best videos yet. For some reason driveway widening and creating new flat area is highly stimulating, and finishing it with new gravel is orgasmic.
After this, I find you a certified artist.
Never a dull moment... one determined man and many TONKA trucks and equipment. I take my hat of to you mate. Multifaceted and fantastic. Keep up the great work
Why the heck am I spending nearly an hour of my time watching you create a gravel driveway? 🤷🏼♂️ regardless, I enjoyed it!!
Im thinking the same thing. But now locked down with this corona virus bs, there nothing else to do! lol
@@terrythomas790 yeah same here watching them over again lol

‘Pretty’ handy all that front-end equipment. Good viewing, Andrew.👍
I wasn't sure if I've watched this before.. until I saw the swing set. LOL I still enjoyed every minute of it.. twice! I broke my back 5 years ago now and I live in pain every single day, but I still get to live vicariously through you. I could probably run some equipment now in my current situation. I can run a lawnmower. I split my own wood, barely, and I'm a welder/fabricator, got a degree in welding through aws in California and had a bunch of certs.. Anyway my goal is to get back to self sufficiency. Use winches and cranes and hydraulics to run my own firewood processing setup. I used to own a c50 dump truck, a case 580 ck with the 18 foot extended boom hoe, and an international 504 loader with a 3 point hitch and a bunch of attachments I welded up myself. Boxblade, rear plow, wood splitter, fork lift, and a skidder boom. I left or sold all that off before I moved thinking I'd never have it again. What I'd give for a yanmar like yours and a dumptruck. Or even turning my f350 flatbed dually into a dump.
I love it! Poison Ivy is the bane of my existence. I probably got it just from watching this video. Nice dozer work.
"I got some more bee spray"..
*Pulls out flamethrower
That was pretty funny.
More power!!!!!

I think the reason I love this channel is because I’ve always loved watching people do stuff like this. I could pull up a chair and watch for hours lol
The first vehicle I ever drove was my Uncles Ford Tractor. Had to use a hay rake and single bar hay cutter. Took a Landscaping and Horticulture class in School and another Ford Tractor. I was the first one to drive it brand new as I had experience already. I would save that play ground equipment also. Built that set for my own kids years ago. Parts of it are in my Utility trailer. 30 years later the deck boards were still usable for the side rails on my trailer. I like your bee spray. Best on the market.
pretty clever to pull yourself out with that excavator. Nice one!
I knew you would be using the autopilot feature on your excavator as soon as I saw you back down into there with your dump truck.
If the employee gets hurt, he'll have to write up a lot time injury report and give it to his boss.
(I guess that means "leave it in the bug dump truck glove box and read it later".....) ;-)
Need some better rear tires on that dump truck
My favorite comment... Ever.
gary batchelder iiiii
no I think he would turn it over to Levi
i love how honest you are. no one knows how to drive that stuff...
You know you are very sweet , you take things that are not being used by others and instead of throwing it away you rehome it, you could almost be my son. I love watching you. keep up the good work. I watch you every day. Dont know what im going to do when you run out of videos.
This is an amazing high-quality video. Nice job. I really liked the drone footage at the quarry with your BIG dump truck pulling in.
I like the way the drone pulls back before that last scoop. Wouldn't want to give the state troopers the wrong impression
I loved the part when you used the excavator by itself to help pull yourself out. I have done things very similar like that too. You have to improvise when you are by yourself to get the job done. Good job.
You make an excellent point here !! Working alone has it benefits and challenges.... Think it through & be careful and things usually work out.
I watched this video 2 years ago when you posted it. And here I am again watching it in its entirety. Just as entertaining as the first time around. "I got some more bee spray" forgot about that part!🤣
I think you do a perfect job. Same goes for most, if not all your videos. Love your videos Andrew Camarata.
good thing the lawn mowers sucked so bad!
Popping Wheelies and Jamming gears!! Lucky!!! Shifting like a BOSS!! Great Job Andrew!
Wow, this video was much more than I expected. The aerial footage of the gravel pit is excellent and the editing in general is really high quality.
Thank you.
Again I watched this young man make awesome entertainment, Andrew you are a artist both in your work and in video making.
Thank yoi
You did a great job as a business and I really enjoy watching your videos you're really hard worker.
I love these road resurface jobs! Really improves the area!
LOL! I just recently came across your channel and I don't know what it is, but I find watching your videos incredibly relaxing. I see others get the same feeling. Nice - keep them coming. And I don't comment often
Those tailgate pours are so satisfying
hey Andrew , that's the best bee spray I ever seen. you did it again , job wel don. keep up the good work .
I like the truck wheelie LOL I remember once I was real tired and it was real hot I forgot to open the tailgate and put the body all the way in the air I was looking at the Treetops I was lucky to have the Volvo L70 that day I just got behind it and pushed it back down funny part I did this in my boss's backyard
You are very good at what you do... Thanks for taking the large amount of time to set up shots as well as editing... vid was so good I had to watch it twice
Thanks

Really beautiful country up there. I’m in Galveston County Texas where it’s flat and suburban with very little wooden areas. The mountains and woods up there make it so nice! You’re doing great work too. That’s for the great content !!!
Your videos are so satisfying for some reason. I just realized that I've watched around 8 hours worth of them.
Always like your videos and don't expect to be disappointed with this one. Thanks for taking time to post your videos, they're great for a retired construction person like me! ....13
Love the music choices on your videos..a true professional in all the jobs he does. always amazing me with his ideas on how to fix things, brings out some more of my " dead for years" imagination as well, and I am looking around our home, thinking of things to do here.. may be older, but I am not dead yet, !
You are an artist, the dirt is your paint and the blade is your paintbrush..!!!
I was drinking coffee when you said you got more bee spray . I blew coffee all over the place. lmao . That is one cool homeowner . He is just letting you do your thing . It turned out great.

Nuttin in Life is free. Homeowner as I see it *pulled a fast one on you.* You handled the new problem like a Boss. It's stuff like this. NEVER bid a job on the phone look at job carefully IN PERSON ON SITE. Not saying nuttin sideways about you mind ya. EZ 2 miss a nest.. Like I said homeowner tried 2 screw ya but you did well and customer is satisfied... I LOVE Tractoring/trucking/operatin'!!
I'd say the homeowner was fine if he paid extra for him to do the the other jobs he tacked on, like the playset. Of course we have no way of knowing this. Also I think he said that the homeowner pointed out the nest, so thats a plus in my book.
He probably just said if you remove it you can have it as it was probably worth a couple hundred still.
Howie Z did you see his dashboard modifier he used to install a new radio in his old truck? Most of us only knew it as a chainsaw! I didn't stop laughing for days every time I thought of it...still laughing!

That was awesome how you pulled yourself out by yourself, great work on the driveway Andrew
You seem like a very smart guy......I like watching your wor 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I know this video has been up a year, but this is the SECOND time I have watched. And I just noticed, over TWO MILLION VIEWS!! That is amazing. We watch Andew spreading gravel, pulling stumps, incinerating wasps and building a swing set. Does it get any better than this? Probably, but not by much. Thanks Andrew!
Chill
Time will teach you. Diesel shifting is all about experience, especially on the older trucks. During the inaugural Truck Drags at Raceway Park, in Englishtown, NJ, I actually ran a 1965 KW cabover with a 318 Detroit and a rare (for a cabover) transmission. It had a Spicer 4x4 twin stick. The splitter was actually shifted by cable. Almost won, too. That old truck would run like it was shot from a cannon. And with oversized injectors, it could kill mosquitoes when you put you foot to the fire. :D Back in '76-'76 when I was an O/O with Matlack Tank Lines, I owned a long-nose KW with a 450 Cummins with a Spicer 5x4 twin stick. My first diesel job? I got a job at a concrete block factory. Guy asked me if I ever drove a diesel before. I said, "Yep, the Navy taught me." Lie. Drove out the gate with my first load, took a left pulled over and looked at the shift diagram on the dashboard. Smoothed a few edges off a couple of gears over the next few days (okay, a week or two), but I learned. Within the month I was only using the clutch for starting out and coming to the stop. You find you'll grind less not using the clutch, even downshifting going uphill. Oh, the old '65 KW? I got the job from the owner, who's back went out. I asked for the job, he said if I could shift it, I could have the job. He got in and we headed for the NJ Turnpike. I not only shifted it, I only used one hand to do it. (Yes, a lot of guys use two). We got back and he said, "Damn! You shift better than me and I've owned that thing for ten years. You got the job."
Andrew you crack me up with that remote pull out system when you get stuck !!! I can say this about you .... your good with equipment and a hard worker !!
First class production! Nice work on all the machines and dump truck gravel spreading.
Really cool videos man. Now I want to buy a few machines myself lol. You do nice work. I’ve ran equipment most of my life and it shows you take pride in your work buddy! 👍🏼
My husband and I love watching your videos! Very impressive and good content. If your ever in Pennsylvania we'd love to buy you a beer! Keep up the great work!
Watching you tailgate that gravel is oddly satisfying.
I don"t have a clue why I am watching these videos, why is it so addictive, but I love it !
If I was paying for it I'd be more than happy. Good job. The contouring will give good drainage and make it last loner for the customer.
