    I know it doesn’t matter to you Chris but even watching strip the grass off that area for the driveway entrance just shows how these machines are nothing more than extensions of your arms and hands you simply make it look so damn effortless to do that and make it look good as well! I never get bored watching you do this work, it’s always a pleasure to watch a true pro at work!

    Good evening Chris, unfortunately the gentleman from New York State. Does not understand that the ground water table, in the Carolina's is high. Sometimes very close to the surface. There is a high content of hard clay. That clay does not always percolate. Chris is for the most part, working with that clay. It is advantages to pack the clay, and use it as a base. The amount of drainage that is installed, makes or brakes your road integrity. Every state has different soil content, and your requirements to work with that, also changes. Chris goes beyond the minimum requirements. He doesn't have to many jobs, that have to be reworked, because of an error, Joe Capo.

    It amazing to watch how all you guys have to do for a road or driveway way is clear the grass off and lay a few inches of gravel on it . I'm in upstate NY . If you want your driveway to last up here you need about six inches of gravel , a good layer of binder blacktop and then a two inch finish layer. I built my house on top of a mountain and had to put in a foot of cobbles fabric and six inches of bank run gravel .
