Over 30 years in business, I've poured thousands of driveways. Watching them made me remember the days of using the come along, pulling your guts out, when the chute man piles it way too high. 100 degrees and it's blowing up on you faster than you can float it down. ugh! It's the only trade in construction that won't allow you to eat a normal lunch or more than a couple minutes to rehydrate. Many have tried, but few can handle the amount of physical work. I'm retired, living the good life now, but I'll never forget the sound of that drum tumbling and the concrete sliding down the chute!

Billy Smith lol my girls father is one.....he's been doing it for 27 years now....delivery driver jobs especially UPS ain't no joke....used to haul for a meat packing plant, ridiculous what those boxes weigh....have helped my friend who's a contractor pour concrete once....yeah after that, I think I'll stick to truck/delivery driving...both equally hard jobs nonetheless....but I love being behind the wheel and meeting new people and seeing my usual customers...I'm not the home construction type of guy.

it's honorable work and you cant think about the shitty miserable world around you when you are trying to get another breath in your lungs or your back hurts like hell. but that one cold beer takes it all away! . bless you!

Watching concrete being smoothed out is surprisedly satisfying.

I'm getting ready to have a new concrete driveway installed, so it was really interesting to see how it's done.

very nice. not a word said between the 3 of ya. Thats how you know they have been at it for a long time.

And THAT is why it costs so much to put in a concrete driveway, there's a LOT of work and skill involved. Nice job on the driveway and the video, and the music was a great choice.

Looks like a very professional job. I don't even live in the same country or need a driveway done, but good to see craftsmen at work.

I am glad we have front end dis charges here!!! haven't seen a rear in awile unless its remote controlled

Love the music! Cool video! Thanks for posting. I'm pouring a concrete ramp today butting up against my new Tuff Shed exit door.

Wow your'll make it look like an art rather than just a Pavement work ...... WELL DONE Love the way you do your job : )

It's nice to see a driver out helping with the concrete. It's spring time. Guess I'd better get a new pair . Good job guys

Nice job...shows you how a good experienced crew working together can take the "hard" out of work

These guys are good. I can't tell you enough how valuable it is to have a good eye for moving mud around like that, let alone the stamina. I poured/finished many driveways and sidewalks in the Florida sun. Im retired now, and I watch this and it brings back memories.

This is the best concrete video on KZread. All the fly by night concrete guys here need to watch this.

These are men who clearly understand fluid dynamics, and that truly makes them worthy people.

Enjoyed the video very much, have no need for concrete work but now I have a better understanding of how its done. Definitely going to use a pro like Sciulli in the future if I need work done.

That feels so fulfilling to watch it :D

this is my daily bread and butter....I take my hat off to all concrete slayers world wide....it is back breaking, hard work,concentration,100% commitment ....ART

I worked masonry for 8 years from the age of 15 to 23. we dug foundations, set steel, poured slabs and everything else along with brick block and stone all in the Florida sun. A mason did it all back then. Can't say I miss those days. I still have all my tools and pour when I want to because I want to. I was really impressed how well you guys worked together and especially how well your guy worked the come a long. Nice edging and design work with the broom. Real pleasure to watch your video.

Beautiful work guys that was a smooth job.

Thanks, I really enjoyed watching.

Now that is an awesome Driver!!!

nice work fellas,,fixing to tackle this project this Friday .Thanks for the video..

Thanks for the knowledge! Great video.

Bloody brilliant lads, well done on a great job.

that's an extremely nice mix that driver whipped up! not too stiff yet it wasn't so wet that I would think the concrete would be weakened. very good job!

you guys are truly the real deal rally helpful vids do show some more in the future pls

This is back breaking work and mentally straining as well. Literally the only work that I hired out for was having my basement floor poured. Awesome job here

Really informative video, very professional job; thanks for sharing.

Top job lads..as always preparation not perspiration is the key

SILVI CONCRETE BAPS POUR - DOCUMENTARY Awesome concrete video

Uphill no less. Those guys did an excellent job!

So, how does the truck get out?

Everything Used Big is smart, really like the roller to get the cream up.

its a good job once uknow what your doing and you have a good team.. yes at times it is physically hard work.. but looking at the end result is a good feeling. and the cold beer afterwards tastes like heaven. 😉😉

Yall guys are pro, some legit work right there I must say

Thanks for attributing the music's source. And thanks for the video--educational for my little one :)

Great Job Sciulli ! Excelent Finish product.

I love hard work... I could watch it all day

That looked so easy!

Excelente trabajo, los felicito, un trabajo de primera, saludos desde Maracaibo Venezuela

Very nice jobs guys

so satisfying to watch

great work!

WOW. This is interesting. I need to add another parking concrete slab to my drive way. I don't like parking my truck on the grass anymore, especially when my other 2 vehicles are taking up the drive way and when it rains..lol

I'll bet that was a very long day. These guys are bad ass.

These guys are good. I didn't see any big problems in how they work.

now THIS is art. i could watch this for hours.

Depends on the thickness, @ 4" thick you can go 2.5 times its depth, so a 10by10 would be the biggest slab you would want, sometimes adding a center groove adds a little curb appeal

Beautiful work!.

well done i love seeing cement poured

Great to see people who work hard and do the job with such care and absolute professionalism.

Pretty cool the way they make the driveway

That's Clean! Nice

Nice work. What product was used to seal the concrete? If this was in an area where it freezes, would you use a fiber based concrete with a special additive?

nice job on this! me and my dad are attempting to do the driveway ourselves and so i'm doing a lot of research first. thanks for the videos it's really helpful.

EXCELLENT WORK

Awesome. All I need now is a driveway.

theres no words!

The last process at the finishing stage of concrete is an application of a white epoxy curing agent. It slows the curing process which enables its strength, durability, and retains its moisture contents for a good duration period. It cures at a slower rate. Once you wait 12-24 hours, you then apply with a water hose a slow even mist of water onto the concrete about 3 times a day for about 5 mins (breakfast, lunch, dinner lets say, for 3 days day after the pour on mon, wed, fri) and yet therefore it gives the concrete the right amount of time to harden developing a sufficient curing stage, allowing it to breath, expel and retain air and heat and contain its moisture density upon graduating to its full development process of a concrete compound to fully cure. (28-30 days curing)

Nice work very clean ✍🏽👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

These doods have amazing strength and stamina even though they got beer bellies. I'm very impressed!

kreteman777 Just poured 15.5 yards of 4.5" slump today with one helper. 20 feet of sidewalk and 30 lineal feet of driveway. Had to fill up 6x 8" tubes with concrete and finish around all of them. Coarse aggregate mix. weather at 75-85 degrees with significant winds. Concrete was mostly unshaded. Oh. and 4 hours of sleep. Was very unpleasant, mind you.

Good job, looks nice

Really liked the finish... but, shouldn't you be pouring a 5" slab for driveway, use #4 rebar, and have several expansion joints given the length of the pour? By the way, you guys work hard! Amazing job setting 15 yards of concrete! looks great. thanks for the video... love the music too!

very nice work. Haven't seen curing agent used in forever, at least around the Detroit area. . .

depends whats already there if its dirt then you need gravel main thing is it needs to be solid underneath

You guys did a great job! I am looking at a home that has a pole barn with a unfinished interior floor.

Looks like a fun job!

base has to be solid 3to6in of 2b gravel depending how solid the ground is

Outstanding display of your craft, skill and attention to detail. Well done gentlemen.

Good job. Thnx for sharing

I have to admit, it put a big smile on my face when I saw you guys putting that white cure agent. Too many people don't understand the importance of curing concrete properly. Great job. You guys definitely knew what you were doing.

love the music.

At moment 3:58 of the video, what is the name of the tool used for the performance (tool that is similar to two rollers).
