Andrew this is my first comment. My wife and I do a lot of what you do and we love your channel because just because you don't do things like us is the exact reason we love watching. Besides we don't get much of a chance to watch someone else work and seem to love it as much as we do. God bless brother, stay safe.
Hey Andrew love ur channel. But I noticed in the new episode u r driving a new truck. When did u by the white dodge. Does it a Cummings engine. Look good
You made that look easy. Putting a same depth new topsoil is not easy but you flew through it. Bravo!
Thanks
I'd say that screener works pretty mint and should pay for its self in no time! Nice work Andrew!
BarnStangz thanks.
Yeah not bad but should be a foot longer and the angle reduced a few degrees
Trilfixall
@@AndrewCamarata very good for COB as well!! Kind of mass production!!
@@russellclement2058 the angle can be changed
I absolutely love your videos I am 21 years old and I am a jack of all trades I do everything from remodeling houses to pouring driveways and running heavy equipment i learn alot watching your videos keep up the good work and keep the videos coming
Cool. That screener produced a lot of good material!
Dude I watch your videos everyday. I found you on RUclips a couple of days ago. I'm a contractor in Brooklyn NY, and I really like watching all your videos.
I wonder how this job turned out, it would have been nice to see the after video of the lawn all grown out.
Ill do a video next summer re-visiting a ton of jobs that were done 2018 and 2017 to see how they held up for 1-2 years.
@@AndrewCamarata You Lied......
After being a subscriber for a long time I met Andrew in a Lowes parking lot the other day. I was start struck and said something stupid, sorry Andrew :) What a genuinely nice and talented guy, he also introduced me to Cody. Great work, your videos are informative and mesmerizing, keep it up!!
Russell Barnes all good. Glad to meet you.
I love all the toys you have. Over the time I have been getting my collection up. I don’t have any large machines yet but I hope one day. One day at a time is all I can do.. thanks for the videos
i've dragged a section of chain link fence behind a riding mower to achieve a similar effect. Nice video. well done.
Love watching skilled folks in action!
Quite a transformation you did there Andrew, good job.
Thanks
As a midwesterner where all our soil is black this amazes me. So much work for something I take for granted. Nice work!
revisit this place and show how the grass is doing :) love when you go and check out old jobsites!
Yeah, I want to do a video where all I do is re-visit stuff.
@@AndrewCamarata i think it would be good
@@AndrewCamarata that would be sweet!
i watch all your vlogs and love them all.your a great worker.i am in uk ,i watch youtube on my 49ins smart tv.i never miss vlog,cant say i like music however i would recomend you as a top worker that does a great job.you put your heart in your work and it shows.me i am old man 71.thank you for great vlogs much better than tv.i put a like on all your vlogs however they dont count from tv for some reason.your a star in your own right.thanks again peter gg stourbridge uk
When Andrews music gets interesting, I just turn it down and keep watching his excellent work.
Thanks, glad you like the videos, when the videos are sped up like the audio is gone, the video is a little weird silent, so I add music from the RUclips library, some people like it.
magic job andy , looks a real treat , have to get yourself a Power harrow , to go behind your tractor , the best tool for leveling & creating a bloody good seed bed for the ol grass to grow , ive done acres of it & some of the areas have been hard as concrete , power harrow sorted it all out , keep up the good work , love it .....
That like a Harley rake? I was planning on getting that next.
Great job with getting that mix of soil and mulch spread around that house. You did a great job and that guy is going to end up with more Grass than he is going to want to mow.
Nice job. Thought you would have scarifies the old soil, before placing the fresh soil on top.
Thanks, that wouldn't have been a bad idea, I would need a tooth bucket or something though.
The track machine can dig very well! Thanks for sharing. Nice work!
Every time I see you work with the skidsteer I'm dying to get one myself. Those things are so damn versatile.
yeah, they are cool.
The ultimate landscape and seed bed prep tool,HARLEY power box rake,second to none.
Very nice job Andrew, your screener is a great machine, I imagine you will have a lot of work for it in your area. Stay safe Sir!
I used a box blade behind the 4wd tractor for lawn prep. With the scarifiers down I have pulled up big chunks of concrete and roots, not sure the home owners even appreciated it. Then I watched you spread the topsoil so fast, not sure I could have done it any better. Anyway I am retired now and have fun watching your excellent video instead. I like your screener.
Thanks
YOU DO EXCELLENT WORK MR. C.
I worked as a landscaper for two summers at an amusement park. The entire park was self contained, nothing was hired out. we had half a dozen enormous green houses and at the end of every summer they kept my friend and I on and we dug every plant out of the park by hand and re potted them then stored them in the greenhouses. we "made" dirt so to speak. We would go out and dig up black dirt and screed it to powder. Then we "cooked" it! Yes, cooked the dirt! it killed any weeds, then we added perlite and other minerals and potted every plant. Your wife could never burn anything in the oven that smells worse than cooked dirt!
Are you talking about wetting the soil and cooking it to over 212 deg F? (boiling point of water) Or do you mean composting to 170 deg F?
Thanks
Great Videos Andrew. The next attachment for your skidsteer should be a Harley rake. Ton's of uses!!!!
Excellent Video Andrew
Thanks for taking the time to show off the screener in action
No problem.
Skills right there now, my new favorite channel.
Thanks
You are a good operator. I would recommend killing the weeds a couple weeks prior. I then scraped the property with a tooth bucket. It worked out great The lawn will come in better. Really nice work. If you get a new machine I really liked the bobtach I had it was nice changing attachments.
i like your current screener better, much better, Andrew (July 29, 2019 Monday)
Think so? I guess I should compare them head to head.
@@AndrewCamarata the area covered in the project matters, right?
I hope this guy is making bank off of these videos. I enjoy them all
great video... thank you for taking the time to shoot! Keep them coming... enjoy watching quality work being done.
Thanks, yes there will be more videos.
I would think that your customer's love that you video the work you performrd for them.
Nice job...
Looks good...
Thanks
You are a really hard and dedicated worker Andrew.
But I think in this project you really need a lot more than 30 yards of soil to fortify that lawn.
Healthy grass plants have roots almost a foot deep.
Maybe you wouldn't need a foot deep of new soil, but more than 30 yards total.
just aerate before spreading...you realize water penetrates soil and takes nutrients with it...right?
guess you've never seen sod.
In this case he’s good. The soil he screened is the same as what’s creating the layer underneath the newly enriched soil.
Side note: The difference in what constitutes topsoil in different areas than my own is amazing. The stuff I sell for lawns is black as coal.
ALL The best lawn grass has very shallow root system that is why lots of people buy ready grown turf and lay it in rolls. If grass roots get deep the grass growes in tufts and you do not get a nice lawn. Check it out, grass with long roots long grass, short roots short grass, the top growth is usually equal to the root size.
Bullshit! When turf is harvested most of the roots are cut, that's why when it's laid it needs to be watered like heck. Once it's established you cut the watering frequency way back to establish deeper roots.
An inch or two of soil laid on top of clay, right! I'm not having a go at the creator, I think he's a good guy, but this was NOT a good job. That area should have been tilled to break up the clay and mix in the organics. That owner will always have trouble growing good lawn on that site.
ur one hard working guy and to do all of that solo is impressive too
I know someone posted this already but DANG you should be working all the time! Freaking Master....A++++++ Work. Joy to Watch!
Thanks
Fook me that guy better get a riding lawn mover with a beer holder!
another outstanding job andrew
Hey bud you did a great job but speaking from experience after you spread out the top soil and compost you should have went over the entire yard with a tiller and tilled the ground up and then serviced the dirt, doing that would have broken up the old rock hard dirt and mixed it with the new dirt and compost and would have been better for the growth of new grass!
I have a feeling the customer didn't pay for that service.
Could have used the Soil Preparator as he used in another video
Your 864 is perfect for the Forestry Mulcher!
I like the music and the machine running
Glad to hear.
The very upbeat music throws me off everytime
Do you ever have a bad day, cos it looks like you have fun every day
Excellent job, I learned something how to top dress with a skid steer.
Andrew, can u also fly a plane? I love your work brother, its always a treat when u upload one.
Those bobcat alsway look kinda cute while working with them
Never seen this before.... but i like it! Great video!
That is some impressive compost
Great job. I would love to see a follow up of this technique
The house faces west which looks to be part of the challenge. Times laps shows the sun go away early in the day. Then the shadow of the house across the street also casts a large print over the front lawn as demonstrated at the end of the video as you are pulling away. Sometimes customers ask us to do things we don't necessarily agree with, but the machines need to keep working.
Want Grass---Those seeds need water. No sprinkler system, that chick going to need a few pocket hoses for this job!
I should go back to this site and check how it did. This was over a year ago.
You do good work Andrew
Favorite part was the whole thing great video man 😎
Thanks
How can a part be a 'whole' thing? Ridiculous comment to make.
So cool how you can see the soil dry out and change colour at 5:11
The timing and the choice of music acted like a hook for me. Couldn't stop watching :)
If there is any chance you could swing by and get a few shots and an interview for a follow up video, that would be awesome. Andrew, you did your thing awesome but the questions of weather this works and if fertilizer and additional issues were in play would make an awesome video. Gobs of folks just want to grow grass.
I need to go back and see how this one did. Might have to wait till next year though, we got our first snow storm happening right now.
I was expecting that drone overview in the end as always :) Thanks for the videos
I was waiting to go get a nice drone shot of a green lawn. Its like winter now, that wont be till next yeah. So I uploaded it.
Hehe its fine. I just that it became kinda standard on the end :) Thanks for the reply... love the channel.
nice machine andrew
Soils conditioner would have been good. Nice job Andrew
Great skills, dude!! I'm a bobcat myself too. I love to do landscapes
Alright cool another video. I love watching these
Why do I feel Andrew is in the back of his garage composing the music he uses for his videos on a keyboard then while Levi listens.
My recommendation would be to shovel equal parts dirt and compost into a large bucket, mix them up, and THEN spread it. Better chance of growth just as long as you remember to water the grass
Great job, the only thing I might have done different would be after the soil and compost were spread, is lightly till it with a 3Pt hitch tiller. Maybe just an inch or two into the original soil base. Then seed it, roll it to insure good seed to soil contact, add a little fertilize and cover it with shredded straw.
man just thinking i bet this dude dont give to shit what people think about his work and well i dont blame him lot of bad comments but this guy has skills and works damn hard
I've got the same screener love the thing.
Why did you not scrape the ground to remove weeds, etc before adding the new dirt.
You could probably screen the junk pile agian alot fines in there.
Another awesome 😎 job!
It's a shame you couldn't mix the two materials before spreading it but you did a good job, hopefully you'll show us the result? :-)
I was delaying this video, waiting to go back there and get a nice drone shot of the wall and a green lawn. But this was too late in the year. That probably wont be a green lawn till next year.
Andrew Camarata Any updates.. would love to see what it looks like now 👍
Nice work man. Now they just need a sprinkler system and 40 pallets of sod
Good job, sir. The poor guy, only house on the street with no grass. I think I'd just spread a few loads of mulch, put in some walkways and do it up with plants, bushes and fruit trees.
Fine work.
Great job
I think a Harley rake for your track skid steer would help you a lot on jobs like this
VERY nice work!
cat637d thanks.
Top job mate ! I mostly use 360s with blade float equipped for jobs like this. I would like to have ago at a job with a skid steer but you don’t see a lot of them over here in the U.K. 😔
That was a good lawn to use a cultipacker on.
Thank you , Andrew .
Andrew, have you ever looked at buying a power rake for your skid steer. Spread and separate all in one wack. Look into it.
looks good bud!
very satisfying to watch great work like always
awesome job
Just curious, any reason why the customer did not get the correct amount of top soil and having it done the right way? If it were my job I would have measured for 4" deep, rototilled, graded, hand raked than seeded with a brillion seeder. A very light top dress with compost is not the right way way to start a new lawn especially with compacted dirt. No criticism here, everyone does things their way but I'm just curious. @20k sq feet that's roughly 240 yards of soil. 2" is obviously 1/2 but the results of even 1" tilled would make an much better end result and healthier lawn.
good job bud
We will need to do this in the spring once our house is finished being built. My question is how thick of top soil should you place so I can plant a nice lawn and shrubs around the house. I guess in my head, I was thinking a solid foot of top soil would be ideal, but maybe it doesn’t need to be that deep?
Saludos desde Puerto Rico Veo tosdos lo videos
>^..^< Looks like you are real our real good at back draging too Mr. C. Sadly your top soil seems symilar to ours in the Poconos. Seems the ice sheets/glaciers robbed all the good organic stuff and left sand, clay and rocks. It might seem like it may be a good idea to run the rejected soil thru the vibrator a second time would be well worth the effort perhaps. It looked like a lot of crap but also a lot of good stuff too on my computer screen here. Just a thought, not being there is a much better judgment call.......
Another great video!!
Thanks
How has the castle been? Any invasions?
he shouldve built the retaining wall before this job. he ground is going to get messed up again!
Love your toys!
Great job....
O would have run a topog of lot then created swales at edge of property to move water from foundation of house with french drains. Of course we have 160" of rain where i live. Not sure of your location or micro climate. A level on your bobcat is great for landscaping. I use tractor mounted rotovator your screen unit would be great to screen i foot of yard to airate soil. Soul testing is good . Add lime to balance ph of soil. Without natural mulch trace minerals and lime aged sawdust helps . Pacific national labs richland wa does research on soil. What is needed . The county extension agent is free source of info and training to contractor and homeowner. I install drip irrigation above ground for cheap watering. A supplier will do free design layout you can supply your homeowner. Start with controller and manifold then install by zone above ground. Or trench in pipe to zones and cap. Saves dig up of new lawn. A plan with layout can be used to upgrade later. Some regions of country will require it in the future or high price to water lawn. I would suggest natural habitat not 1/4 acre lawn to mow and water next 30 years. Qe go in woods dig up local trees and transplant.
good job and video
Top job...
I love your videos and keep them coming! I had started a concrete and landscaping business a few years out of high school but during the 3 year of business my high schools buddy I was in partnership with decided to drain the savings account and sneak off. Leaving me and the business to go under and major debt. However, my questions are: 1 why didn't you re-run the pile of garbage to gain a bit more of topsoil and 2 I need a screener like yours. I looked up and see a new one is like 6700.00. Where did you get yours?
That could be screened again. I think I paid a little less than that for it. www.omhproscreen.com/
good job
thanks 4 video. be kind.
Nice job Andrew. I’d like to buy one of those strainers to separate out dirt from rocks and other debris. My 40 acres in the Ozark’s is about 35% rock. I know it would take a good long time to clear up that much and leave 3-4” of decent soil and mulch but I have a good heavy tractor that’s up to the job. How much does a strainer like yours go for? I was considering building one but yours looks real effective.
I think I paid $5600 for that, those aren't hard to get, they will ship it to your door. It works well, just as long as the material is dry.
Lived on a farm a tractor mounted rotivator a 48"
Till soil 3x different directions spread 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 aged Alder bark. Add lime to balance then screen material. I did a subdivision this way cheaper than 100% top soil. Can hydro seed install drip irrigation system. To conserve water. What is the compaction of your skid steer. Looks like 20% slash. What is micro climate and planting zone. A landscape sprinkler supplier could do layout plan for free. Local landscape architect interview also. Then talk budget. Resale versus long term living.
