Very nice
Why dont you pour that asphalt in paver directly from the truck? Making double job...Its looking really good btw
That’s a great question, we get asked this all the time. The simple reason is that the majority of our projects do not require the dump truck being back up to the paver. For reasons such as, the driveway being too small (although not in this case), wires overhead, steep hills & turns etc.
We normally use a skid steer to excavate, grade and make pads for the paver. We often find it’s just as simple to use the same skid steer to load the paver. Why? It’s easy to control, you do not have worry about having enough room for the large dump trucks out on the street, we use it to make the pads and clean up the road anyway. In a word, it’s often convenient.
All that being said, it would have worked great to push the trucks on this project and if I did it over, I would have if I’m being honest.
The last thing to note: Our dump trucks all pull tag trailers daily and the way the hitch is set up they do not line up properly with our paver. The way to correct this is 1 of 3 things. 1. Lower the rollers on the paver. 2. Remove the hitch on the truck. 3. Remove the thick hard rubber/plastic compound mat that helps hold the asphalt in the paver hopper.. this way the hitch will fit.
Any one or all three of these options come at a price or inconvenience.
We have a very special paver on order for next year and the intention with this paver is to be able to push trucks with out having to do any additional set up work.
Hope this answers your question, thanks for watching. I hope you continue to watch and enjoy the channel.
Really nice job, well done. You and your team do an excellent job and take pride in your work. :)
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your kind words!
Happy holidays to you and your family!
Absolute massive driveway! Such a big piece of land with a small house on it.
The house I think just looks smaller on camera because the property is so big and open, it’s actually a large beautiful home!
Hey bro how are you doing awesome job bro very well done keep up the great work bro and be safe 👍👌👌👌💯💯❤️😊.
🤘🏻
Great job!
You should try spreading the base with chains attached to the dump truck, this helps spread the base uniformly, rather than dumping base in one large pile.
Why not dump asphalt directly into the paver from the dump truck and use the paver to push the trucks out - should have enough horse power rather than feeding the paver with the skid steer? Keep up the great work!
We have done that from time to time, and your correct it can work very good.
Thanks for watching
Just curious why you stripped the existing stone base?
It’s a good question because your right. The base did have a higher stone content. However, it also had a layer of clay 3” thick right in the middle of the entire driveway likely from contamination during house construction. The base was patchy with clay patches randomly placed through the entire driveway. Some spots on had only 3” of stone.
Additionally we also straightened the driveway and squared it up with the house, making it a perfect rectangle. It was roughly 1.5-2.5 feet out of Square at the bottom by the culvert.
Hopefully this answers your question.
How come you didn’t use the weiler p65?
Great question! Clearly this isn’t the first video you have watch from our channel. The Weiler p65 is a good paver. However, the Mauldin is a superior paver. We still have the Weiler, but my go to is the Mauldin.
We actually have a special ordered paver for next season, so you’ll have to keep your eye out for that. I’m pretty excited about it.
Thanks for watching
@@capitalasphalt thanks for responding. We run a 385b. And love it and thought about adding a p65 however just wasn’t sure as I’ve never ran one before. I do think the electric screed would be amazing for a small paver like that.
@@clinthansen4474 the p65 is a nice little paver. It does work well but here are the issues I have found. 1. It seems to be under powered. If your running your heated screed and you want to still run the paver, the hydraulic speed for the extensions the augers, etc. seems to be cut back where the heated screed is on. The augers are only in the extensions, this means wherever you run a full pass, which I believe is 13 feet you have a big pile of asphalt in the middle and the outsides have a hard time keeping up because there is no augers in the middle of the paver only in the extensions. Lastly is has metal tracks, which are very loud and bumpy.
The mat is 👍🏼, the heated screed works well, and it’s very easy to see and control.
@@chrisbenoit9092 thanks for your input, much appreciated and awesome videos.
Why dont you spread the stone with the paver? It works great
A lot of the time we will use the paver to spread an even top coat of gravel after we have put in and packed the base. I agree it works great!
So much extra work for no reason racking a perfect mat and don’t make me mention why dug that thing out so deep
You have a great eye for paving and construction, your points are valid. Although some context, or the lack there of is probably what’s causing the issue here.
1. The Mat had a few issues not caught on camera both passes. With a significant issue near the end of the last pass. It was operation error, we had a new paver operator help us on this paver and he made a simple mistake we had to fix when he was trying to adjust the paver. It’s a mistake I have made myself before.
The Golden Rule when paving is to not touch the mat unless absolutely necessary. As a paver, I hate when we have to touch the mat. Because the pavers job is to install a consistent even mixture.
2. We always dig our base 12”-16” and in some cases 24”. Here in Canada we have bad frost and even worse clay here in Ottawa.
Hopefully this answers your question, thanks for watching.
where are you guys based out of?

Why not just push the truck
That’s a great question, we get asked this all the time. The simple reason is that the majority of our projects do not require the dump truck being back up to the paver. For reasons such as, the driveway being too small (although not in this case), wires overhead, steep hills & turns etc.
