Yep always love asphalt, here from London Ontario
Yes please
More!! Love it!
Please more videos. I love your work and your ethics. Keep up the wonderful work out there.
Yes
A beautiful driveway completed by truly a group of professionals who not only know and understand, but love the work and finished product they provide for their customers. GREAT job guys. Did paving back in the 80's in Brandon, Manitoba. I too enjoyed it and the experience and joy from it has never been forgotten.
Hi man, liking your videos.
Trust me. As a coating plant batcher the customer will always complain if the tar/asphalt is too cold.
They NEVER complain if it keeps their toes toasty.
Especially in Scotland!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate that very much
Paved for 30 years. Never seen anyone use a paver to grade a driveway.. That would really scratch the screed up..
I tried it once don’t like it
Ive seen come people actually have an older paver that they strictly use for grading base but i wouldnt ever use the same paver on base as i would on asphalt
Green Knoll Lawn Care laying base is common with an old paver he is talking about how they drug the driveway with the screed
My old company use to do it every once in awhile. I don’t see how it would hurt it any worse than putting binder through it.
The company I used to work for, we used to do it with an old paver for base and finish grade stone... which we call 304 and 411 limestone here in Ohio. But we wouldn't do it with the same paver for paving a drive for fear of stone getting caught somewhere and ending up in the mat to dig out, fill in and rake leaving a seedy spot. Doing it the way they do it, isn't much worse than running asphalt through it, but definitely want a clean hot screed to start so I wouldn't recommend it.
Would love to see more paving work. Love how you took the video and the quality of the shots of the "PAVING" job was great.
It also was great to see Dale the owner of WCI since I've seen his trucks roll in your yard for loam.
Keep up the great work and less videos per week are better since they are more quality enriched!!!
This driveway paving video is absolutely captivating! I was hooked from the start.
Watching the transformation of a worn-out driveway into a sleek surface is so satisfying. The attention to detail and precision are commendable.
The visuals are captivating, and the narration explains each step of the process, making it informative and engaging.
Dale, what’s your favorite part of the job?
Dale: *walks away* 😂
loved the homemade tamp shoes.
Michael Anderson You guys did a fantastic job paving that lane way I love doing that type of work.
Learn more Canadian lingo here everyday, laneway = driveway, asphalt = ASH-Fault 😂
hahah had to change the. original title I put laneway, than realized when I was making my tags that most people on yt search drive way.
Depends where you are I guess in southern ontario we always call it driveway
Being in The US I have never heard of laneway before Ya learn something new everyday Lol
Never heard it called a laneway before either......and I'm in Canada.
@@mknucarman in australia a laneway links 2 streets
i love watching these types of videos! keep it up. Your videos remind me of the other youtuber Andrew Camarata
Andrew has awesome videos as well.
I hear ya with Andrew and he reminds me of me when I started about his age. But damn he sure is hard on his equipment at times, but getting better! Yet, I give him a ton of credit as when I comment on his videos, I always give him good sound advice which he has pinned or highlighted a lot of them. He also normally responds to my comments. But that boy can fix anything! I did a lot of my own repairs until I was able to hire a mechanic. That is where he had me. Andrew does pretty damn good work and not afraid to try or test new things! Love his channel!
Paving and next year you be ripping it up to replace the rotten colvert pipe lol
Paving is everything to me, and I I'll pave for the rest of my life!!🙏💪💯
That’s a weiler paver.would have saved a lot of time and energy by putting stone in paver and then running over the stone. For those who may say it would hurt the paver it doesn’t. Asphalt is made out of stone .Looks like a nice job👍Nice equipment but I wouldn’t bother with the roller with tires on it.
Greg and those WCI boys are cold blooded on getting that _hit done. That driveway looks excellent.....dope video thanks!
He's favourite part of the job is breathing in the freshly baked tarmac and 4:59pm lol😂 Love the custom boots though
If there was ever a time you can smell a video, great stuff
Now when said about the Cat roller having better compaction with the tires, that's not the purpose of a rubber tire or pneumatic roller, its main purpose is to squeeze the heat out of the mat, by not only the weight of it but the rubber absorbs the heat so the steel drum rollers can compact it, the asphalt has 3 temp ranges when to breakdown, compact, and finish.
Thanks Dennis! Love the info!
Pave it!! Have a great weekend!! I did something like that but at a large scale. We make the whole parking from a mall
that's insane!
19:00 minutes.
"Little details that matter"
Boot mark in the mix. No compaction. Lol.
CZcams Student I’d hate to have a boot print
In fairness dale compacted over that spot at end of video.
Good eye. I ran a paving crew for several years so one thing I can say is it’s hard to control 8 guys 😂 if I had a dime every time I did my job and 4 others and then did my final walk around and found a boot print or something stupid like that 🤬 Over all they did a nice job definitely above average.
in northern canada we let gravel sit for 10-14 day be for we lay down black but looked good nice job
That's interesting. I'm in the states and just today I was on a road that got milled, graded and paved all in a matter of 3 hours.
We have a guy here in Ct that waits 30-45 days of the homeowner driving on it, then paves. Says it keeps the wheel tracks from sinking in as little as possible.
The professional way, in UK there are gangs of foreigners selling tarmac driveways that are wafer thin and only last a couple of months
We have that here too in the State Nic. There is a big group of gypsies or what is known as the "travelers" based out of the Carolinas and super easy to spot! They have super fancy nice trucks, small paver like a Leeboy 8500, nice trailer and rollers. But yeah they rip people off all of the time and homeowners don't know any better! Like they tell them they are going to lay an inch and a half "loose" and then when compacted, they end up with an inch and a quarter, which like you said, in a few months it is breaking up or by next spring at the lastest.
My family owned a large asphalt paving company in Florida. I've never seen a paver used to grade.
You and me both man, the only thing I’ve done is laying that dense grade down like I would asphalt but thats only for certain scenarios.
If you have to fine grade with the paver, you need a real operator on the skid steer. I’ve been around construction and paving for many years and never seen that before. The guy in the shorts is an accident waiting to happen, that asphalt will blister skin in an instant and it sticks to skin real well. Nice finished product, gotta give them that.
We call those areas Driveways, in Calif, Idaho, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
Everyone in the world except for England and this guy call it a driveway lol
I am 65 and started paving Helping My Dad in Our Family business when I was 15 earlier than that unofficially. It is hot work and hot material. Those short pants that are popular with Tweaker’s are OSHA violation’s. Those poor guys must not get paid much. One of them couldn’t afford a decent belt to hold up His pants or maybe He just has hips like Cochise. I agree with another comment that using the paver to lay base material is not the wisest thing to Do. If You don’t mind replacing expensive part’s often and contaminating the asphalt mix with residual base material and fines then Do it. The base should be dampened throughout its depth. If it is dry existing or dry imported, wetting it while working it to its finished grades and slopes will facilitate proper compaction. Over wetting can cause it to become muddy , requiring time for excess moisture to evaporate out. I like the comments from people all over the world. I am not a Jet setter. Few People in the asphalt paving business are. It is very competitive. If I went on a vacation to another Country I would enjoy watching other people do theis work or even participate. Don’t get too sensitive about My Prior Remarks either, they go with the territory when working on paving and construction Crews. In paving there are many variables and methods. Aggregates and mix designs can vary by geographical location and the geology of available materials . There are different grades of asphalt oil used in Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete. The methods and types of asphalt will differ from those used on Highway projects , commercial parking lots and secondary roads. In some area’s far from Hot Mix Plants , slow curing materials are used. They are made like regular Hot mix where the aggregates and sand are heated in a giant drum like a cement mixer with a giant torch burner roaring through its center. After the aggregates and sand are heated the oil is injected and is drawn into the mix by capillary action. The Heat keeps the material “ plastic “ and Workable. As it cools it becomes harder to work , blend ( make seamless joints ), roll and compact properly. There are emulsifiers in the oil that help with the heat in keeping it workable for a a few Hours on warm days . Cooler temperatures means transporting , laying and finishing ( shaping and compaction) more quickly. Hotter days are more forgiving and l am writing a book. The Asphalt Institute is a good source and reference for anyone in the trade . There is no substitute for experience.Even those with Engineering Degrees can and should learn from the old timer common laborer’s who have spent their lives doing this work. Even among competitors we have shop talk and attend seminars. I am not a Cat Salesman but swear by the brand , I have used and own many other brands and if You know what Your doing You can make anything work. I worked with a old guy who had graded roads using a mule drawn grader that was operated by turning large metal wheels that turned gears that raised and lowered the cutting edge and adjusted the pitch while He shouted Gee , Ho and Yeah to the team.
Awesome work!! Whatever tips you have, shoot them our way for our rakers over in Manteca, California- Arrow Construction!
I used to haul asphalt in double bottom bumps and I actually miss the smell of it
Great video. Great equipment. Great crew.
Dale's custom asphalt paving boots KICK ASS!!!
Very interesting, done paving for many years and never seen paving done this way😂😂😂... as far as nobody driving on it for 4 days, welllll that’s news to me, if you get good compaction while rolling it anyone can drive on it as long as they don’t park on it for a day or 2... good video, b
But as someone comment, paver screeds aren’t for grading stone
We did it all the time with road base, we would do it much faster then the dirt division and with better results in time and quality. Water spray your paver afterwards and lube it ready for the asphalt.
Paving. This was a very good video of a spectacular driveway(usa) paving job.
Thank you I looking forward into the future to start a career in doing highways. And yes I watched your video untill the end good bless you and thank you
Keep this kind of content coming👍🏾👍🏾
will do ron
I work with the Teamsters now but ill never forget the few seasons paving driveways and parking lots lol black gold is really what it is
Exactly what my crew and me call it black gold!
Only thing I would do differently is to get the roller on there as soon as possible. The plate tamper and roller should be in the garage and breaking down 30 seconds after the paver pulls off the pad. Absolutely no reason to leave the first matt unrolled until the second matt is done. Obviously leave a foot unrolled to match the seam but leaving the asphalt unrolled for longer than a couple of minutes is crazy to me. Unless it's 110 degrees outside?
First time i see someone grade a drive way with the screed of the paver 😳 and i have been doing this for over 8 years from driveways to highways
Dad and me have never seen something like that before and dad has been at it for 30 something years 😂
Dale is a legend, hand tamping after the job is done
Why is this so satisfying
I just found this video I love watching companies pay driveways and highways so I don't know if you'll see this but hell yeah I love watching these videos keep them up
Combo rollers are finish rollers steel drum for breakdown but who cares 😂 looks great
The last place a combi roller should be used is finish. Breakdown and before finish is good but not for finish, the double steel takes out all lines left from rubber tire rollers and makes a uniform finish. Combi can be used as finish aslong as it's not leaving tire impressions.
Jordan Byrne no pal you hit with steel then you combi then you steel the last place a combi gose is on breakdown you destroy the mat hitting it with a combi for breakdown watch every highway contractor combi rollers made the job lazy combi dose not break down the tires cut the piss out of it you want the tires to bring the shine out on a finished mat by that time there should be no tire cuts and the front steel takes the small impression from the tire out that’s why it’s a combi roller or it would be steel all rubber and a smaller steel following facts not my own bull shit
@@paveemall1387 on bigger jobs combi isnt even used its double steel breakdown rubber tire to follow and double steel on finish. the only time a combi ive seen used where im from is on small patches or for breakdown on smaller jobs or in tight areas, then hit with rubber followed by double steel. only time ive seen a combi on a highway job in my life, its being used strictly for approaches. honestly on anything small if your rollerman is leaving tire marks while using a combi he doesnt know what hes doing or is lazy and not hitting it enough/properly.
You guys are both wrong a good tweaker On a set of tamp shoes Is the best way to get that asphalt finished and compact at 92% compaction 👌🏽 How does that one sound Fellers
Round shovels are for digging.. should be using short handle square
Randy!
That was cool! ...PAVING👉🏼👈🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
Pave it.
And you have a great long weekend to 😀
Paving ....... knocked it out of the park
I'm starting this type of job today. This video really shows me what to expect. Thanks for posting.
PAVE IT … awesome video so much learnt in 20 min as a new expansion to our operation we are leaning to paving…. Subscribed !!
Cancer has put me on the sidelines, Man do I miss that smell!!!! Nice pneumatic roller!
My best friend is going to teach me how to run. Heavy equipment
Paving from Missouri, USA!
Yes I watch the paving from start to the finish
Dales boot great he should market them to Australia ? Really great video to watch
Hello fellow down under person
PAVE IT!! Loved this. Learned so much. Liked Dale's ingenuity --- maybe he should go on Dragon's Den?
he should haha!
Definitely more paving content! Especially with the Weiler P265. I drive by their factory everyday when I head to work!
Okay I’ll get more!
These guys did a good job. Anyone looking for a driveway just be careful of contractors overcharging by thousands. The blacktop guru will analyze your driveway and let you know exactly how much you should be paying.
I live in Pennsylvania and they are redoing the turnpike you would not believe how much asphalt they are laying it’s almost 20 inch’s thick doing it in 4 layers meanwhile you can not get any stone right now it’s all tied up
Loved operating the 289d. I have thousands of hours in the seat of a 289, 299 and 262
That's nice paving a driveway
Next year's video: "Repairing the cracks in the driveway."
Why?
@@dztrbdgod asphalt is going to crack no matter what. However you can minimize it and make it last a lot longer by starting with a good base. If you want it to last as long as possible 18 to 24 inches and it needs to be compacted. When I say compacted I mean using a heavy roller not driving small equipment over it. I don't know how deep the base is but I would guess it's maybe 6 to 10 inches at most and since it wasn't fully compacted it's going to flex and move around a lot. It will settle in spots and the freeze/thaw cycles will move the base around quite a bit. When I say settle I mean the cars parking and driving on top of it will flex the asphalt and compact the base beneath. The asphalt will spring back but the gravel under it wont. That means there is a spot for water to sit between the asphalt and gravel that will freeze and expand causing it to crack.
If you want a driveway to last you need a really thick base that is compacted very well. If the base is compacted well enough there is nothing under the pavement to move and allow cracking. Keep in mind that you need drainage along with a solid base or you will get a lot of water that will freeze and expand, nothing in the world can protect against that.
The asphalt also needs to be about 4 to 6 inches thick since it's not going onto an already paved surface. Asphalt has a lot less strength than concrete and can flex much more so you need to start out with a thicker layer on fresh construction like this than if it was being laid over a surface that had already been laid. If you already had a good surface there you could most likely get away with a skim layer 1 or 2 inches thick and call it a day.
The cost of doing it right would probably be double what the customer paid for this job. That is why nobody does it because it costs a heck of a lot more to do the job right the first time and 99% of people would rather save a little money and let the next homeowner deal with it. Meanwhile they can advertise "new driveway just laid down" when they put the home on the market or if they are using it as a rental property for a while. My parents neighborhood went through a plague of this over the last 20 years. Homeowner has a terrible driveway and spends $3000 to $4000 to get it "redone" and then they sell the house. Then 2 or 3 years later it's cracked all over and hunks are falling off the sides. My parents had their driveway dug out and fresh concrete put down and it was around $20,000 but it will last another 40+ years with nearly zero maintenance. Some of their neighbors have had to have their driveways dug out and repaved after 5 years because it wasn't done right the first time.
The autobahn in Germany has an extremely thick base layer underneath it and the concrete is several feet thick. That is why 70 years later cars are still driving over a pretty smooth surface at 100+mph. You get what you pay for and putting the time and money in on the front end saves a lot of maintenance through the years.
This job would likely be fine for 5 to 10 years if they would have compacted the base properly before they laid down the asphalt even as thin as the asphalt was laid. As it was done I agree 100% with tripjet999 in 12 to 24 months there will be a lot of huge cracks and grass growing in them. Asphalt is fine for paving but it costs less than concrete for a reason. It needs a lot more maintenance over its lifetime or it won't last. I have no problem with them and would have an asphalt driveway myself but it would have a thick, well compacted base and a good thick layer of asphalt. By the time I have spent enough money to do it right I might as well spend a few thousand more and use concrete then I don't have to worry about maintaining the asphalt.
If I did that job there would have been about 24 inches of base that was compacted properly and 6 inches of asphalt. You would still need to clean and seal it every few years but it would be much more resistant to cracking and should last 15 or 20 years. Asphalt is petroleum based and will break down over time no matter how well you maintain it. The important thing is starting off the life of the driveway correctly so you don't have to spend that money (and more) every year down the line trying to keep it from falling apart because you didn't want to open the wallet from the start.
Wesley Jones my dad own a ashphalt company and what I have learned is it has to be thick and compact to prevent cracking for long periods of time
Wesley Jones Longest comment ever! Lol. Well done!
Compacting good the base is very important for durability.
Awesome video! Paving is really interesting, so, yea more paving!
KW Construction... Been following your channel for a while now, keep up the great work. I enjoy your videos a lot.
I've never seen that done , looks real nice
In the UK paving is either blocks or slabs ! we call what your doing Tarmac or as you know it " asphalt "
It's only tarmac if it's at the airport.
Pave it baby!!! Loved this one bro!! I had my driveway paved last year, loved relating with this one 😁
its a good you have your truck here with you.
Paveing great video Taylor something different I like it. We call it tarmac here in wales instead of asphalt
This is legitimately a proper job 👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
We don't do driveways like that here we use a 3/4" stone binder coat then use a fine coat on top that would be considered a driveway that will not last here , they did a nice job but should of did two coarses .
jackefrost yup. Won’t last a year
Pave it! This video was badass bro! The editing was amazing! Keep up the great work Taylor! Congrats on 7000 subs too! 👊🏻
Thanks buddy!!
I want too see more paving videos favorite CZcams channel 🔥
I can tell you an employee like dale is irreplaceable to a small business
Dale has been working asphalt for 40 years and is still a laborer lol I’m sure they would be just fine
It takes a man like that to make or break a small buisness
@@andrewkuenzli8673how the f#ck would you know what Dale is capable of do you know him personally? I'm willing too bet he knows more about paving then you give him credit for! Good hardworking experienced labor's are hard too find! BTW everyone is replaceable and loyalty nowaday's and yesterday's doesn't mean anything! If you don't pay I don't play and neither should anyone else! All go somewhere else that will give me what I'm worth if they are paying me shit I'm gone with the wind!
what I love bout your country is the residents didn't put wall fence around their house, in my country it was opposite
Great road JCB 💞CAT😊
Interesting thanks for posting as it was impressive
here in Michigan we put down 4 thousand tons of asphalt a day 1 crew 1 plant!
That is wild
That was interesting. Pavin
thanks. jay
Asphalt not ashphalt, you were triggering me everytime you said it.
Lmao yo im glad im not the only one
Golly same here. So annoying.
Holy shit dude was driving me nuts too!
its a canadian thing lol we all say it or at least in ontario
Nice Finishing touch would have been some hot tar poured along the edge that meets the street.. to make a good seal.
Maybe in your area. To big if the pain in the butt. Tack and sand works better
Pavement I watch the whole video it was a good one. Learned a lot
Thanks for the music montage
I own a concrete business and we always tell customers that have us tear out their asphalt driveway "you used asphalt, it's your fault". There's no way I would be able to sleep at night taking people's money and giving them a product such as asphalt. It's junk. We tear out roughly 20 asphalt driveways a year that are fairly new. And %100 of the time the customers say they wish they would have just had a concrete driveway in the first place. On the other hand, yall keep on keeping on, bc I make $$$ off tearing this s**t out lol. Thanks
Great video. Sure yous will get a lot more customers off of the back of this. You explain the job well. Pity yous are do far away from 🏴 really as iv a large driveway needing done 🙄😁 great team there by the way.
Paving
Paving, great video
Paving! From NC, Keep it up and nice job.
PAVE IT!
Paving!!!!!!!
Paving!!!!!! Made it to the end. I'm waiting on one more company to give me an estimate. I wish you guys were from NJ.
Where in NJ? I can set something up !
Nicole B did u get it done yet?
Yes we got it done about a month ago now
I can smell the blacktop by watching this. I def don’t miss paving. Y’all can have that. Lol
Paving, real mans job
Paving with custom dancing paver shoes!
those shoes were MINT
Now I see what you call a laneway. 👍👍
haha yes!
6/10 many reasons...1 dragging the (screed) bottom of the paver on gravel is not good, quick wear down and eventually bad smooth pulls in the future and money to fix! 2. Combo roller on driveway lol first time I have ever seen that but not horrible! 3. The joint or seam(driveway and road meet) whichever you prefer to call it is not very straight and clean but overall ok could have been leuted better! But overall I have definitely seen worse!
That's cool how that guy has the wood attached to his saftey boots
Ken down here in the state’s we call ur laneways driveways so pave it nicely done
Just picked up a Weiler p385 and love it
Out of 4 years of paving and growing up around it iv never seen anyone with those shoe things on🤣
Great Video. Thanks. Paving
16:12 "First day, and they gave me these silly lookin shoes to wear" Haha, that guys awesome
Ya he really is!
