  • In this video I abandon the old plan for a driveway and go up and around to lessen the slope. I build the base of the road with recycled crushed concrete. I also install 2 sheds at the house clearing up top, and dig out some shale to widen the lower section of the road.

    Hi Jesse,
    Its inspiring to see you doing your thing, please never underestimate how much you inspire those of us who watch your channel from across the globe. UK here, getting made redundant at end of Jan 2021 which is ok, as I've been building my own little landscapping, tree work business on my days off from Heathrow airport doing cargo. Thanks to you and Andrew I'm taking on bigger projects that i would of maybe passed by before.
    Keep doing what you do, and thank you

    What jolly fun! I knew Willis Jackson who was an artist with a backhoe/front loader. I was never afraid he'd hit me. He told me the way to avoid shoring was a 45 degree slope and multiplied the length by the depth and converted it into passes within a couple of seconds. Never more than 3 off.

    Nice job Jesse. You save a lot of time if you will ask the delivery driver to do a tailgate spread for you. They can chain the tailgate so that it will only open to about 2-4 inches. Then when the dump they drive forward and the material will spread out for you. You will still have some spreading to do but it does save some time.

    Jesse, I watched the video when you created that 'claw' for your excavator. I am pretty sure you were creating it in order to help with pulling stumps; but, in this video, you show that it is an effective tool to use on those hillsides with the soft shale. You were able to harvest a lot of good shale to use on the lower part of the driveway. I also enjoy watching the videos you create when you are building and framing. Keep it up, you do great work.

    Great video, great operator. We use crushed concrete a lot here at the plant I work at. I’m about to install a 2000’ driveway and will probably use it for base. It does work great. One draw back it has is in dry weather when it gets windy. It throws off an incredible amount of dust, even a couple years after being down. Not a huge deal if you cap it.

    Really good work. Good stable base with the shale rock and crushed concrete. I am a little concerned about where the water is gonna go because I didn't see you put ditches down the sides. If you crowned the road really good you shouldn't have a problem but I can't tell from the video how much crown is in the road. That would be my only negative about your work but I may be wrong about this and just missed seeing the ditches in the video. (I'm not trying to be an ass, and hope I don't sound like one, just making an observation).Other than that you've done a great job and it looks really nice and looks like it will work very well.
