Would be nice for you to do a 5 minute follow up to see what it looks like with the grass grown and the water back in,maybe a couple of b4 and after stills as well
EXCELLENT JOB!! PROFESSIONALLY DONE! It is the difference between night and day with the results you created. I hope they paid you big $$$$$$ for this project because you darn well earned it!!!!!!
I had a new pad poured at home. The truck that came in wasn't a regular concrete truck - it had all the parts (water, sand, aggregate, cement) and it mixed as it went out the conveyor. We used exactly as much as we needed. It was an awesome setup and I'll definitely use that exclusively going forward. No need to order in advance, because the concrete isn't mixed until the instant it's poured.
It is cool to see you and Brandon working together in these recent videos. Enjoy both of your channels a great deal! I too would like to sign up for the "work with Chris for a week" contest! Good stuff guys 👍
I like your content. I have been around construction for over 40 years. Seen most of it all. But watching you, I feel like a little kid, watching the grown-ups do cool shit. I'm 60 years old.
Well good job Nice to see that Brandon can enjoy his time away from work and home. I see his Mrs is checking in 🤔😉😏 Just making sure he's still spending quality time with you Chris 😁😂
That was almost as fun and captivating as watching the bonfire on Friday. It just doesn't get any better than this! Wonder why they didn't do a bit of dredging on the pond while they were at it?
Seeing jobs like this give me hope that there are tradespeople out there with a clue. And more importantly, they are passing their knowledge on. I was in heavy construction many decades ago, and I really appreciate your videos.
Really good 👌👍 job Chris. It's a wonder if they didn't want you to dredge that pond to while the water level was down. But beautiful work on the pond dam.
Dude...concrete doesn't dry. It cures. You have a good touch. It is fun to watch good equipment operators. Your projects are always fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Is there ANYTHING that the 2200 can't do? It's can dig, of course.... but also mow, sweep, cut down trees, crush old pipe, take down bricks, deliver concrete, pull itself along, and rescue other excavators. Thanks for the great "City Pond" series!
that looks so much better, all graded and level and wide enough to sit around in lawn chairs and enjoy the view or fish if the pond is stocked. Much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Superb job as usual Chris... so yeah about that comment above... how do we enter that 'work with Chris for a week contest' or at least play with his toys! lolol
Suprised they didn’t have you go ahead and haul out a few loads of mud while the pond was empty. Looked awesome. Good to see Tim i mean Brandon working hard 😓
@@gravelydon7072 That would be commonplace here in NY, they like to build a new road, then go in two weeks later and replace all the culverts under the road !!!
Love your Skills and knowledge! I wish I had that too! I do Autoglass for all makes for the last 15 yrs, but I love what your doing and how you do it! I wish I had a way in with you! Your awesome!
Its amazing. Who thought watching you dig holes would be entertaining. But here I am, about 10 of your videos deep and I am quite engaged. Keep the content coming.
I am surprised this pond being in the city you didn't have inspectors all over this project. Turned out great. This was a LD18 job par excellence with ELITE help. Only way it could have been Mo Better if you could have used Perfect Dirt on this job.
I noticed Brandon went missing for a while...i figured he went to get lunch by himself because of the gourmet lunch ( McDonalds) you fed him yesterday!! Lol Luckily his wife gave him spending money. You guys did a great job.
@@mrs.eliteearthworks Is the CFO going to be happy that Chris has Brandon wanting a tilt bucket attachment for his excavator and newer model skid-steer? I think the tilt bucket will be an awesome addition plus you always got to have your office in a good place and the skid-steer is his office 😁
@@larrykeenan598 Well, who wants to get all dirty and smelly working for a living when they can just be an 'influencer' and get given free shit just for being popular?
Have you ever thought of getting or having a long reach excavator to aid in removing a lot of sediment. It’s probably costly and not in a big demand as long as your planks work, who knows. Great job as usual and well done. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice work Chris.i like the idea of putting chopped straw down To make it look neater. Looks ansolutely fantastic. Can you do a flight over with the drone on your next Project? Stay safe Chris 👍
I believe it is for so much more than just cosmetic purposes. It helps prevent the fresh topsoil and new seeds from washing away before they can grow roots
@@Lloyd.B. That is my understanding yes, however I am just an amature landscaper. We had to do it a number of times on various family members yards, specifically the hills. It degrades quickly enough that it doesn't impede the grass growth, but holds the seed and soil in place enough for the roots to grow first.
@@Sellner07DEW OK. Thanks. I had the idea the straw was somehow seeding the ground, but I realise now that makes no sense because straw is what's left when the seeds/grain have been harvested off the top lol.
Nice finish. Would love to see a 30 day follow up after pond fills and grass is up...
Chris, what an artist does with a brush and paint you do with dirt and machines. Truly a masterpiece. God Bless and Good Health
Would be nice for you to do a 5 minute follow up to see what it looks like with the grass grown and the water back in,maybe a couple of b4 and after stills as well
Came here to say the same thing.
Felt the same way
And me🙂
Please.
And me, like a 6 month follow up video !!!
Just realized how big that bucket is when you start dumping concrete out of it that thing of a lot of concrete. 👍☕️🍀
Its more than a wheel barrel, and those full of concrete are heavy as hell.
I'd imagine letting that set up inside the bucket would make for a pretty good counterweight.
Quite a versatile machine, too.
Really looks like that Pond needs Dredging out , City should have added that to your work order, get it all done at once IMHO
Letsdig18 ... You sir, are an amazing Artist, in your right ... power forces of Expertise, for all the Comuinities you've served ... 👍
EXCELLENT JOB!! PROFESSIONALLY DONE! It is the difference between night and day with the results you created. I hope they paid you big $$$$$$ for this project because you darn well earned it!!!!!!
Now that looks alot better was put back together a thousand times better then before nice job guys 😎👍👍🇺🇸

It’s been a blast! I don’t want to leave lol
Always a nice clean finish👍
One of my favorite projects start to finish I’ve seen on your channel. 👍
Nice! I remember what it looked like when you started the job. Audio on the new camera is great. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Shallow pond, won't retain much water. Great job on the drain rebuild, looks nice compared to when you first arrived a few weeks back.
I like your content. I have been around construction for over 40 years. Seen most of it all. But watching you, I feel like a little kid, watching the grown-ups do cool shit. I'm 60 years old.
Great job again Chris , put some Armco crash barrier on the back of the Skid steer to protect the back end 😉😀thanks for the video 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
Always good to see Brandon on site. Enjoy both their videos. Nice job in a tight space.
Thank you!
What a beautiful job you did, and great editing too.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m always impressed with your work. Always nice to see the transformation.
Well good job
Nice to see that Brandon can enjoy his time away from work and home. I see his Mrs is checking in 🤔😉😏
Just making sure he's still spending quality time with you Chris 😁😂
Lol yes she is
Gotta make sure he’s behaving himself 😂
It always comes together at the end of the job looks great
That area by the buildings that you finished up on the pond dam looks like a great place for them to add a couple picnic tables now.
Looks fantastic... couple park benches once it’s all settled, then it can be enjoyed...
Great job Chris, nice rehabilitation of the pond.
That was almost as fun and captivating as watching the bonfire on Friday. It just doesn't get any better than this! Wonder why they didn't do a bit of dredging on the pond while they were at it?
I think most of us are wondering that ? Must not be in the budget.
@@augustreil i agree
You do nice work. Id like to see you do a few vids where you go back 1 year later to see how it really looks finished. That's the big indicator.
Yes I'd love to see yearly updates on some of the bigger jobs you do PLEASE AND THANK YOU
You're a true artist, Chris. You should be proud of your accomplishments through hard work!
I agree 100 great jobs you do truly a professional at what you do bro
Another job well done! That looks a million times better than it did before. You guys do some amazing work.
Seeing jobs like this give me hope that there are tradespeople out there with a clue. And more importantly, they are passing their knowledge on. I was in heavy construction many decades ago, and I really appreciate your videos.
Wow----- !. before and after is amazing .great job all.super vid.
Fantastic job !, thanks for sharing.
Nice job there fellas!!
Thanks buddy
Really good 👌👍 job Chris. It's a wonder if they didn't want you to dredge that pond to while the water level was down. But beautiful work on the pond dam.
Not sure what Im doing here, but... A beer and watching a *proper* culvert/drain being installed... What a wonderful Tuesday night during lockdown.
SWEET JOB......Looks unreal with your touch.
Y’all do really good work my friend!! Looks nice. I’m sure they’re all going to enjoy it when it’s all full again and green grass pops up good
Dude...concrete doesn't dry. It cures. You have a good touch. It is fun to watch good equipment operators. Your projects are always fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
It drys if he says it drys then it goes into a curing process dude
Big thumbs up bro, having your guest helping out to pay for room and board is working out well. Y'all stay safe

Rip rap looks nice. Really finishes it off. Another great pond series. You make it look so easy.
Suprised they didn’t have you go ahead and haul out a few loads of mud while the pond was empty. Looked awesome. Good to see Tim i mean Brandon working hard 😓
I was just gone a say the same thing. They could have made that three feet lower easily.
They're going to wait till he gets it all seeded in before asking him to do that. ;-)
@@gravelydon7072 That would be commonplace here in NY, they like to build a new road, then go in two weeks later and replace all the culverts under the road !!!
thinkin the same thing
@@Blazer02LS, Same here in Ct, as soon as the new asphalt is put down, start cutting in something ! SMH.
Thanks for sharing this video.
What a transformation!! From the huge ball of ivy to a nice smooth grade!! Curious to see this in a few months time...
Nice work. That will look much nicer when it grows back in!!
How satisfying it must be to stand on your finished work and think....I did this! Nice work, as always Chris!!!
Very smooth equipment operations.
Nice work boys well-done
Someone who cares about the people who have to maintain the grass are my favorite!
Love your Skills and knowledge! I wish I had that too! I do Autoglass for all makes for the last 15 yrs, but I love what your doing and how you do it! I wish I had a way in with you! Your awesome!
Its amazing. Who thought watching you dig holes would be entertaining. But here I am, about 10 of your videos deep and I am quite engaged. Keep the content coming.
Good job. Looks a lot better and safer too
Lovely new home for the Moccasins!
Looks bloody awesome that 👍🏻😊
Really a nice job Chris - once the grass comes back it's gonna be a very pretty spot
I am surprised this pond being in the city you didn't have inspectors all over this project. Turned out great. This was a LD18 job par excellence with ELITE help. Only way it could have been Mo Better if you could have used Perfect Dirt on this job.
Looks nice now for sure...great job...
Precision and good teamwork guys! 👏😄
#staysafe 💙
Well done. That was a big mess at the beginning with all these bushes and trees.
Man Chris you did a good job with that head wall, sealed tight with the pipe an head wall, looks good
looks a whole lot nicer after you fixed it, great job, nice video
This job turned out real nice. Good work!
NO Rest for the Weary. Who has Time for Vacation ? Not Chris, Brandon or Uncle. Hard Working. 👍
I wish I had your skills when I was young. You all do very good work.
I noticed Brandon went missing for a while...i figured he went to get lunch by himself because of the gourmet lunch ( McDonalds) you fed him yesterday!! Lol Luckily his wife gave him spending money. You guys did a great job.
🤣
@@eliteearthworksllc More like Mrs Brandon spotted him enjoying the Mac and said "no junk food tomorrow!"
😂
@@mrs.eliteearthworks Is the CFO going to be happy that Chris has Brandon wanting a tilt bucket attachment for his excavator and newer model skid-steer?
I think the tilt bucket will be an awesome addition plus you always got to have your office in a good place and the skid-steer is his office 😁
@@roadrash90 he’s been sending me a daily wish list 🙄😂
This man is one smooth and organized operator. Would be great to work with.
Great job! Looks clean.
Another job well done looks really good
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Great job, really looks nice Chris.
Still kinda cracks me up it’s basically just you and old’Unc
In saying that we have 4 diggers 2 trucks and only 3 staff including me and the oldman 😂
It's hard to find good help. Too many people have got used to being on the dole. All the good operators already have jobs.
Seems like they could use a replacement Timmy to get jobs done a bit quicker and avoid switching seats so much.
@@larrykeenan598 Well, who wants to get all dirty and smelly working for a living when they can just be an 'influencer' and get given free shit just for being popular?
That pond needed slopping out, but neighborhood associations only have a little money to do about anything. Good looking job.
What an amazing transformation guys
Great job! The end result looks fantastic!
Have you ever thought of getting or having a long reach excavator to aid in removing a lot of sediment. It’s probably costly and not in a big demand as long as your planks work, who knows. Great job as usual and well done. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
been waiting for another exciting video from none other than letsdig18 awesome videos.
Love this video Chris and thanks for loading it out .
Top job, as usual! Love your work Chris!
Awesome sauce looking good.
That looks amazing! Great job Chris and gang!
That would look real nice with flat stones inlayed in the ground as a wide walkway... Good Job Chris!
Brilliant job guys👍
You’re a great operator and did an amazing job. Great to watch at work mate.
Another job well done
Good job well done and tidied up afterwards
You do an excellent job on all the videos I've seen i love watching you.
I agree 100
Very nice job you guys did. 👍☕️🍀
Y’all done a really good job on that Chris so another great video you John and Brandon y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming brother
You guys are totally amazing it’s like a choreographed dance not one wasted move !
That looks really nice, I hope they do look after it. It should look ace in a year.
Nice work Chris.i like the idea of putting chopped straw down To make it look neater. Looks ansolutely fantastic. Can you do a flight over with the drone on your next Project? Stay safe Chris 👍

@@Sellner07DEW Do they put grass seed under the straw?...
@@Lloyd.B. That is my understanding yes, however I am just an amature landscaper. We had to do it a number of times on various family members yards, specifically the hills.

@15:43 that damn skeeter didnt know it was on camera n who he was messin with.
Another GRADE A pond job. Ya’ll make a good team.
Man he trusts you with that iron!!! You are the best so I don’t blame him.
Yep wasn’t worried a bit
Very Nice Work !!!!!! Make it looks easy.....
I just want to add when I comment it is from my husband Colin and myself. We love your videos, have been watching since Covid.
Just another cracking job mate.Like always.Good work.
Really wanted to see it with the pond filled back up and the drain working 😩😩😩 😭😭
Definitely a WOOWSER job Chris.
Lookin' professional.
Definitely a night and day difference on this one, excellent work!
