Happy New Year Garrett. Thanks for the upload. Wish you guys a prosperous 2024.

Glad to see Trimble masts on that unit. I’ve been gaining a lot of traction with selling Trimble gear to DEVELON dealers. Great video as always.

I love the color scheme of the dozer and skid steer!

Get a real bucket for that excavator 😂

Good job and good job on the video! I’m subscribing ! I’ve been looking for some new channels . And I like the drone footage so you can see the machines working! Good job!

Thanks Alex!

We had a similar site in 2022 where an old gas station was. They buried half the building and all of the foundation. Left the fuel lines in and there was contaminated soil everywhere. Almost doubled our time with the cleanup especially being next to a nature reserve.

Sheeeesh!!

Nice video and I'm curious why do you use a dozer, excavator and skid steer loader? Isn't it cheaper to just use an excavator with a grading bucket? This is how we often do it in the Netherlands, but that could also be because we hardly use dozers and skid steer loaders that are hardly used in Europe

I'm surprised that permits were given to built on a previous site where fuel was stored. That is not allowed in Canada without complete and thorough testing.

There was soil borings done but they were all “clean”

I bet the lawyers are having a field day with the contamination.

Love the black n white dozer, never seen one before

What happened to the Bobcat E145 I was looking at buying one, but after trying one out I was very disappointed in the power of the machine! There has to be something wrong with it!

Still have it! Has almost 3k hours now! Been good.

How much does something like this cost? (original plan you guys charged them for)

What kind of dumpsite do you use for topsoil like that?

@@zaccheus Depends. Sometimes you sell it to other customers or sites. If you have room you sell it to the public directly. If you're in the business long enough you find people always looking for topsoil. Garbage sites or sand pits filling back in. Or the trucking company might know. It goes on and on.

Haul it to somewhere it’s wanted lol

You need a 5ft wide/cleanup bucket for your 225. And why haul out all the nice topsoil? Don’t you want to save 15/20 loads to respread for finish grade?

Curious why you strip the topsoil from the entire lot and not just where the building pad is going?

Topsoil always turns to mud and just makes a giant mess, it’s sometimes easier to remove all of it, and then truck some back for any of your landscaping needs after it’s all built

Hmm seems expensive. If anything I would think to just stock pile on site somewhere out of the way. But different areas have different practices for specific reasons I guess.

It's a sand bucket , they run then in some areas with really sandy soil because when you grab a bucket of sand with a large excavator the air can't escape as fast as the sand fills the bucket so it creates an air pocket and shoots the sand/ rocks violently at the cab and also covers the pins in sand and creates excessive wear on the pins . You don't have to have a sand bucket like that but if you want to dig full speed in sand it helps !

Hey Garrett, why do yall strip out all the black dirt? I live In South Ga ( Valdosta Ga) and all we have scrape the site clean of grass and be 18”-24” below the original grade for our footers and no more than 32” on a mono slab . 32” and above call for Concrete block and they have to be solid poured with rebar every 3’ going from the footer to the top of the slab. Thanks in Advance !! Just curious and interested in the way other States ( especially the cold States) prep for residential/commercial construction
