I'm glad none of you guys got hurt working and having fun at the same time. 😂😂
Same here... Safety is always #1. Having a good time is a very close second.... 🤣 ✌
Can’t wait to see the finished product.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! ✌
I got laid off a little over a month ago after 2 years of IT and it's made me really question what I want to do for work. I knew I wanted to do something more tangible and satisfying and thought about hardscaping, but with no experience I was pretty nervous about my capabilities. Found your content and was instantly reassured and pumped up to make this change.
Thanks for making these videos and putting me at ease at 22 with no real experience while I get ready to start job hunting!
Hey brother, thanks for the feedback! If you are motivated and enjoy building things, this trade will be perfect for you. It is very satisfying and worth the hard work. Getting into it at 22 is the best thing you can do. By the time you are 30, you will be very valuable in this trade. I wish you the best of luck, God Bless! ✌
Three cheers for Benny, The Kubota Kid!!🎉
Yes sir! 🤣 ✌
32:05 that was pretty sick machine teamwork
It worked out very nicely. 👌 ✌
Good tree fall
Thank you ✌
Nice to see the warm weather in this vid..lol... White stuff soon... Hope you are well.
Yea it is, I can't remember what the hot sun feels like already... LOL White stuff is right around the corner for sure... I am doing good, I hope the same for you ✌
Awesome job mi amigo than you god bless you
Thank you brother, God Bless! ✌🏻
Another fine job well done. was probably nice to have a slight change of pace and throw some landscaping in with the hardscaping... Enjoyed the video.
Thank you, it was actually a very nice change of pace.... I love tree work when it is only every once in a while LOL. Thanks for the feedback as always! ✌
Awesome 😎 😊
✌🏻
This is becoming one of my favorite channels. Just enjoyable to see quality work and quality folks. And I feel like 300 more videos and I might actually feel like a pro at pava'hs instead of a builder who does paver work. Lol.
I take it there's a reason the mini ex can't be 180'd after loading in the trailer? No room for da boom?
That’s awesome to hear, I’m glad you are liking the videos. Practice makes perfect, I’m sure with the mentality of a builder, you will pick up the trade very quick. And yea, the boom is too long to go In forward, it makes the back end to close to the trailer doors. ✌🏻
Big fan of your work brother solid crew great work atmosphere. Keep on grinding and godbless!!!
Thanks for the feedback brother! I definitely am blessed with my crew, we keep having a good time equal to working hard. It's all about balance. God Bless you too! ✌
Kyle, I miss your original music. My wife was sad seeing you cutting the apple tree.
I appreciate the feedback, we have been trying some new songs to see how they work out... And we did not want to take down that tree either, but unfortunately it was in the way of what they wanted. ✌
A solid days work in the heat fellas! (Wishing it was still July right now haha)
Looking forward to part 2! 😎
Thanks man! I would like some warmer days and more hours of daylight myself… lol ✌🏻
I'm in northeast indiana and as you know we get some cold weather being by lake Michigan. I just started a landscape business and hardscaping is going to be my main source of income. I notice alot of companies like using paver sand and or this grey like sand as their paver layer. What do you think about that? Do you suggest it? I like that you use the 3/8 stone I believe, instead of sand to permeate the water.
Hey there, I am located in Massachusetts which deals with many freeze / thaw cycles as well. This open grade base method is far greater than any gravel / sand backfill method without a doubt in my opinion. Having clean crushed stone for the base stone and the bedding stone allows water to drain freely and creates less chance of heaving in the winter. With sand and gravel, the moisture in it will expand the material when it freezes, which is the biggest reason paver projects fail in my opinion. Here is a video I made which explains the base prep method in more detail 👉czcams.com/video/ChaJe3JqD6I/video.html
Rented and dented!!🤣🤣
😂✌
Bobcat Benny (sounds better that Kubota Benny)🤷🏻♂😁
Kubota Kenny is his alter ego
Bobcat Benny does work perfectly, but now I’m very curious what Kubota Kenny is like… must be a pretty cool guy… 🤣✌🏻
No, Kubota Kyle! @@TheChristianHardscaper
Leaves of three let it be…

Do y’all run diesel trucks?
No, My truck is a 6.2 liter gas F-250
Great Vid, I wanted to ask how you like your truck and how has it been treating you, I may be in the market for one next year and was leaning towards a ford 6.7 so wanted your feedback on your experience with it.
His is a 6.2 gasser. They’re solid trucks
That’s correct, I have a 6.2 gas job. I absolutely love it and have nothing bad to say. I tow equipment and loads of stone, dirt, debris, etc. daily. Never had any issues. It is a 2017 so the manifolds leaking is no surprise… for some reason Ford just can’t fix that problem. Lol. What I like most is that it’s a F-250 and has a GVW of 10,000lbs which keeps me under CDL requirements here in Massachusetts. Could not be happier with the truck ✌🏻
I bought a ‘16 6.2 gas a couple years ago and the manifolds had fortunately already been replaced for me haha. Currently at 112k with ~4500 hours doing similar type of work. Hauling dump trailers with dirt/ stone/ mulch and commercial snow plowing. It’s needed some minor repairs, a transmission line started to leak and my front drive shaft started to fail after plowing several concrete snow events in NH last winter but the motor and transmission are still strong as can be. All in all I’ve been super happy with mine too. Ford did good with these gas job super duty’s!
And keep up the stellar work Kyle, big fan from a fellow new englanda in southern NH, hopefully we get some snow soon here! 🤞
Also my exhaust started to separate between the muffler and resonator but I wasn’t all too upset about that because now it’s piped straight back from a single magnaflow muffler, no more resonators 😎 now the 6.2 sounds like the true beast that it is, and my plow customers will know when I’m there to collect payment!
@@603landscapes Thanks for all the feedback, that is good information without a doubt. I have only had to do brakes and rotors twice so far, new tires and plenty of oil changes... LOL I have about 72,000 miles on it. I'm sure ill start having more little repairs to do in the years to come but like you said, if the engine and transmission stays strong, no problem in my eyes. Plus with the 2017 and up, it is all aluminum bodies... so I will never see body rust / rot. Very cool thing in my opinion.
And I bet the new exhaust sounds mean! That was a good move, you got to let the customers know you are there 🤣
Thank you for the support and I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. It is great hearing from others here in New England. God bless brother! ✌
Looked like that weed was poke berry. Didn’t get to see it close enough, but it is poisonous to dogs. Leaves are edible when they’re younger but it’s 2023, I ain’t eatin that!
I just googled it, you are 100% correct. I always wondered what that weed was called, I appreciate the comment! I’ll remember to keep the dogs away from it and if the apocalypse comes, I know another good option… 😂✌🏻
Just a quick question for you or for Any contractor reading this, what price range are we looking for all this work done? Higher percentile of price
A job like this should cost between $5,000 - $6,500 depending on the circumstances.
@@TheChristianHardscaper sweet, thank you very much for your reply. Appreciate it. God bless
