Good job but I would recommend you should cover the underground drainage pipe with landscaper's fabric. It's cheap and keeps dirt from clogging the holes in the pipe and eventually the pipe will get clogged and you'll have to dig it back up and do the job over again.

GOOD JOB ANDREW AND LEVI
Thank you for your excellent video editing. Showing the whole process from start to finish, fast forwarding on repetitive parts, explaining what is happening and so on. I'm extremely impressed by both your skill in property maintenance and video editing!
Inspector Levi! I really admire your concern for a job being well done. To revisit a location to verify is excellent customer service! Great job sir!!
Dude you literally have one of the best youtube channels. You are so informative and i can truely see how you want to help people get where you are. Keep it up!

Me too. I have two favorites Andrew Camarata and Boehm Farm.
Good to see the lead inspector out on the job with you.
I really appreciate how Andrew goes above and beyond for the client...👍 He just needed to put in the culvert, but completely regraded his driveway and leveled out and graded the whole yard!💯🏆🥇
nice tractor. It's amazing how well those box blades work for grading.
Hye Andrew, I am a guy from Québec in Canada. I am french speaking guy, tho, don't be to severe about my english. You impress me very much and I have all of your videos. Your are a smart guy and very good in repair wobs. Your videos are well done and you have a real talent for this. Keepgoing and take ok you and your family. Bye
“Good boy Levi”. That’s all he needs to hear to love you forever. Dogs are such great companions.
It's clear he got his money's worth. I appreciate how you always come back to check your own work! So many people won't even come back when ya call them and express a problem or unhappiness with the outcome. Any Contractors watching take a page out of Andrew's ethics and even if you get down on your luck you'll have loyal Customer base that will either help you out with work or vouch for you. Your one of a kind Andrew! Keep up the good work!
I always knew you were a good, solid dude Andrew. Glad to hear and see that you are now putting the holes down. And you even mention that other video where a bunch of us old timers gave you that advice. Technically, you are right and it works both ways... But it works "better" with the holes down; less water build up in the first place. Anyway, nice job.
Nice job, Levi. You too, Andrew.
Your attention to detail is excellent. I wish more people took pride in their work like you do. Well done.
I always love the way Levi jumps out and runs around a property he has already been on before. Nice job Andrew and My brother bought one of those drones like you use and watching our tech guy running it out here at my big old house with many tall tress, I got to see how the automatic landing works and other questions I used to have when I first started watching you. Keep up the great job and enjoy your holidays or at least the one day off you give yourself!
Andrew - Your video editing skills have gotten really good. I know it’s a pain and time consuming but it does make a much better video for the viewers. Once again, nice work on the site and the ‘studio’!

Cool. I didn’t know what way the hole should go. In the past I’ve seen down but didn’t realize why. Between you explaining it and the comments I learned something. Thanks. Love the videos
My wife gave you the ultimate compliment, she said, "you work like Andrew, you guys take care of the job and the whole surrounding area." I'm fine with doing it like you buddy. Good job.

Greetings from Moscow!!! Well done, man, Golden hands!!
I love your videos I've been working in construction for 22 years very good videos very informative thank you
rewatching an "old" video it was wonderful seeing Levi able to get around so lively! Miss him!
I learn a lot from your videos and I enjoy watching them. Thank you
Andrew, The next thing you need is a utility locator wand. Then you can search the area for utilities yourself, mark them out, and avoid them/dig around them.
Another Good job You work really well! Levi is a good inspector Thanks for sharing
Now, I haven't read through all 638 comments, and I"m not going to, but I take it from what little I've read that Dig Safe isn't a thing in New York State. I've seen you dig before, Andrew, without any Dig Safe markings. Man, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts there is no way you'd dig across an electric service without Dig Safe having marked that out first, or any other services for that matter. And I realize they get it wrong half the time. In the Commonwealth, it's a requirement of the law. I give you credit, dude. You got guts. I love these videos.
This channel should be 10x bigger than Direstas.

Great video as aways keep it up. For similar work I typically use the 4" perforated black drain tile with sock on it. It holds up well and is easy to install. Like others mentioned if you have long runs put a clean out in or a catch basin if practical. I know alot have mentioned digrite 811, where I live it's the law and my insurance won't pay if I don't have a valid completed work order. I fill the requests out on line and typically in 24 to 48 hrs they are complete. In an emergency they have a on call team that marks 24hr a day for like water mains and sewer breaks. I installed an electric brake controller in my dump truck. Pretty straight forward install. I have the time delay style Reese brand works good.
You have the best looking paystar 5000 i ever saw. nice truck, great job!
Enjoy seeing all the updates on this property.
thanks Andy this is exactly what I need to do. Thanks for your help.

Levi is the Best Inspector! Nice job, Andrew! Greetings from Brazil
i really like the Yanmar that is the perfect machine for many projects.
Excellent work Andrew ... u make me proud to know you ! ! !
Nice work with your box blade! I wish mine had a flip up rail for the scarifiers. Much easier than pulling all the pins to raise or lower them individually.
Thanks Andrew like the video an very good job man .
With the connections you have, maybe a expansion into lumber garages or grounds maintenance. A bigger tractor or lift the box blade.. to do it or not to do it bigger machines cost more to maintain but then they are faster. Stay with what you have and know the limits or go bigger and break more. As maintenance goes, a set of door pins in dump truck wouldn't hurt, do that on the second saturday this week... that never comes. You have grown exponentially to a force to try an outbid from other contractors. Your busy for a reason, plus your "inspector" has been giving you passes when he might of been more critical (more whip cream dad on my biscuits) What a fabulous companion
Great Job Andrew. What a cool looking house and property.
16:20 Owner be like "oops, just back away... back away slowly and maybe I won't be seen on the video"
LEVI THE GREAT INSPECTOR.....VERY SWEET DOG.
Great video again. Really like seeing Levi in the videos also. You Da man Andrew! Stay safe!
What a Life Levi has. He is always on the go. Andrew you have given Levi so much happiness and will for years to come. Levi is a good boy.
12.17.2018 Nice job Andrew. I enjoy watching you work. I did a fair bit of dirt work at my last job. Had a Ford 4610 w/box blade 5yd dump. I would say same tractor just 1 bump larger than you use. Shaping up as a real nice day here at 0735.
You have done a great job on making that property look very nice!
Keep up the video posts, always enjoy watching them
I am recognizing this project from other videos and the place is looking pretty good compared to when you first started. It will be awesome when you finish. Thanks!
Nice job Andrew
Id love to have a beer with you. You seem like a genuinely good guy.
Great job. Nice video and update.
Great job. Need someone like you around my area. You seem to be a Tradesman with many talents and abilities, not mention your own fleet of equipment.
Finally... and inspector you can like having on the job!
another “Levi approved” job well done!
''You load sixteen tons, what do get? Another day older and deeper in debt...'' Great Merle Travis song. Like always, very informative AC-Thanks!
Thanks to the home owner for allowing videos,beautiful home a garage will top it off.
Hey Andrew here's a tip that will help you out. Weld a piece of flat bar on the back of your box blade on the top and mount a ball on it. Works great to moving trailers around and not having to drop the box blade off if it's not too heavy of a trailer. Just make sure your tractor way more versatile.

Water is lazy and looks for the easy path, holes down give it the easy path without having to get up to the mid/top of the pipe. Yes the rock handles a good amount of the water but when surface water and ground water start up the pipe quickly handles the overflow. One thing you might want to do on future projects is the up hill side end with a surface clean out by putting in a 90 rather then a cap. This makes snaking or flushing the line easier when it gets silted up. In the current form you would need to work from the down hill side to clean it out so are standing/kneeling in the water/muck you are cleaning out of the pipe.

Ya, pipe holes down limits the crap percolating down through the stone from above into holes, if facing up, and filling the pipe with crud over long period; water percs down to bottom of trench and then when it rises into the pipe through the holes on the bottom, its not carrying the crud, and it flows down the pipe as Andrew H describes.

Solid point! Pipes need maintenance to keep functioning over time. Always install catch basin at uphill end & every 50-75' or so to provide cleanout access. You could stretch to 100' but shorter runs are easier to snake ;-)

Why not install a 4in. agricultural draining pipe , it's got holes all around, never gets clogged and water can enter easy from any angle??
@markreetz1001

Holes down is the way to go. Another problem with holes up is the pipe can't drain the water covering the pipe below the holes. You could have 4 inches of water around the pipe that can't drain because the holes are on top. But as usual, another great vid. Thanks Andrew.
I like that you use your equipment past capacity. Then fix'em
