    Tim, I watch all of your videos for advice and learning purposes! I am a little older but I can tell that you treat every one of your customers with the upmost respect butthe one thing I can say is that you treat every job as if you were doing for yourself! Always doing such a professional job!

    I use fabric before I put rip rap down. I recommend it to stop the erosion. Rock will slow the velocity but it'll still erode around that rock- just like it looked when you got there first with that concrete chunks. Should use non-woven geo fabric then the rip rap.

    rock lined drainage swales are a common conservation practice to prevent erosion where water runoff gets concentrated .. some specs (forest service / nrcs) calls for a layer of erosion control fabric placed below the rip rap to help prevent washout of fine materials .. while large rock is effective oftentimes adding some smaller stone to the mix helps to fill in gaps and prevent shifting .. nice job ...

    At 3.5" thick 12 feet wide and 1163' in length, that's 163 yards @ $90.00, not including labor, underlayment, finishing, etc. Just the concrete was probably $16k
    That's my guess. Today the average cost per yard nation wide is $137.00..an increase of 53% . $22,331 is an increase of 6k.
    A huge high rise job or a parking garage or basement addition to a home could be canceled just because of the inflation rate on materials let alone nobody wants to work for less than 25 bucks an hour even when they don't know shot from shine-ola. We're in big trouble, folks. Most people can't even recognize the fact of where we are.

    Dear Mr. Tim, great job you did there, but I have an observation with all the respect you deserve. When big rocks are placed on areas where there is a lot of water running, it usually erodes underneath the rocks, living you with another problem. Grass, it would it be your best opinion incluye my humble opinion.

    • @cotontop3
      @cotontop3  2 года назад +1

      Yes, you are right but it comes down to whether the customer wants to spend the money for that. I can only work with what I'm allowed to and it often limits me on how I would really like to finish the job out.

    Hi Tim , I live in the UK , having watched your channel for many years and also let’s dig 18. I am always surprised that the utilities in the states such as cable there is no set depth for cables below finished ground level as you showed us the cable only appeared to be perhaps 6 inches below road level is there a risk with the rip rap at the road edge a vehicle could Run over and the large rip rap and crush and slice the cable with it being so fleet to the finished ground level. Keep up the great vids.

    • @20truck
      @20truck 2 года назад

      In the United States the only utility that generally has a common depth from state to state is an electrical line it's generally buried at least 3 ft deep, water lines are generally buried below the freeze depth and that could change depending on where you live in the United States, but other utilities like internet and telephone cable TV sometimes they're buried no more than six or eight inches deep. Generally with anything but water and electricity drop/bury crew will come in with the machine that lays the cable and digs a small trench with a plow and covers it back up as it moves forward and it's generally only 6 to 8 in at the most. I've pulled up many of fiber optic cable and water line doing jobs before, luckily I've never hit a live electrical line because they're very deep and always get my jobs marked by Miss utility so I know where the lines are at that way if I hit one it's not my fault. Take care over in the UK.

    When you put that rip rap down lay some of that erosion fabric underneath it that will make the job look better and it will give the water a better path for escape without causing erosion of the soil. I couldn't tell if you placed erosion fabric under the stone on this job.

  • @brianmakoviney4521
    @brianmakoviney4521 2 года назад

    To bad you don't have a grader there to recut the back slope and sloping from the driveway to the new ditch line. Would be so much faster and get a much better grade for the drainage. And if you have a dozer there, you could use it to revamp the drainage ditch , and track walk the area for the riprap, if the ground is somewhat hard, it will just loosen 5he top few inches so when spreading the riprap out, it will get pushed into to ground a bit and definitely help with the erosion, instead of it just sitting on top of the ground. Fabric will help some, but if the ditch gets a high, fast and deep amount of water flowing down the ditch , the water will still pass through fabric and still get erosion
