Extremely Steep Driveway Demo, Prep & Pour 

I would not have thought watching concrete work would be interesting but I never miss one of your vids so it must be. You do a great job narrating. Thanks for the entertainment and education.

You pour concrete like you were pouring for your own pour. Outstanding work!!

Folks that have never worked much with concrete can't appreciate the difference between 4 1/2 and 3 1/2 inch slump when it comes to working it. Huge amount of physical strain placing and finishing. Hats off to you and your crew.

Good morning. It is no surprise this channel is growing fast. Still enjoying the content.

Your dudes really know how to make it look perfect man.

Looks very well done , I have been working concrete for 24 year and looks very well done

Worked in concrete when I was young. You guys do fantastic work. Enjoy your videos.

I’m a DIY’er that has done everything from electrical, plumbing to building my own house. Your channel fascinates me on what all can be done with concrete. Wish I would have know 25 years ago. Keep up the great videos!! (I still have a UNC hat ready to ship you when you’re ready!!)

Unmistakable Pittsburgh accent!! Thanks for the video

What an amazing professional team. Excellent work guys.

Man , I though that sandwich was some sort of new pointing device !!! WHEW !!!

They Say That Absence Of Fuss Is The Hallmark Of Intelligence ,You Guys Are Pretty Smart ,Great Work Gentlemen

Top of your game again, people have no idea how good that went with the elevation difference

Excelente y muy bonito trabajo 👌👌👌 excelente grupo de profesionales 👌👌 se agradece mucho que compartan sus videos 😃 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

Wow, y'all sure know what you're doing. Over the years at Corning, they continually expanded. They had a long cement road/area poured and at certain times of day, the light would reveal the waves in the cement. The forklifts would bounce so bad, the material on the forks would bounce off the forks. Obviously that crew poured it way too loose! Mike Morgan is getting his firewood pad prepared for y'all, guess you'll head that way next. In my ignorance, I'm thinking in a few hours it's gonna rain on that pour, and it dries well enough that the rain won't hurt it.? Wow. Nice to watch professionals work, I'm always learning. Great video!👍❤

I'm a Finisher up from Erie pa. Every time we see a pic frame Finish. We all call it a Pittsburgh finsh seems more popular down by you guys. Thanks for the video!

Great crew working proper together.. team work son!

Tom: Have you checked out the new machine that the concrete guys / contractors / engineers doing the Oroville, CA Dam Spillways designed (and I believe patented) for pouring long steep slope concrete? You might want to check it out .... for your own ideas, when doing steep slopes in the future! Great job! I love watching pros work!

Nice job. I always wondered how you keep concrete from sliding down a sloping driveway. Good educational video.

No need to explain the sitting situation Tom, your crew is amazing. I’ve never seen a group work so well together. When it’s time to work there are no slackers on your team!

Buggies are awesome! Great job fellas

That pour was a serious workout!

I really like the way it flares onto the road. Pittsburgh, well that explains the steep angle.

As always you guys do such an awesome job. That driveway looks beautiful. Good cleanup too when you are finished. 👍👍👍❤️

Looks awesome, nice job!

Nicely done fellas! Shoutout from Caldwell Idaho! Love the videos keep them coming!

Wow, excellent professionalism.

AMAZING, DONE BY 9:30 am. DAMN GOOD CREW‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

greetings from Germany --- Fab work -- I would like to see more "before - after" pictures at the end, please!

Awesome job. Amazing job on that steep a slope.

It looks beautiful great job guys

Beautiful work!

Great crew everybody knows what they have to do

I love watching these videos! The craftsmanship is impressive and impeccable!

Wow! Great crew and great job!

Great project. Just different enough to eliminate the ho hum

👍 good job !

Classic: Pointing out what needs to be done while holding a Hoagie, Sub, Grinder or just plain sandwich 6:00 while working ! Wait no french fries ? This is Pittsburgh !

Another nice job.... may get the nerve to try myself one day

Great job. I hope they are not going to need to get the car out of the garage anytime soon.

anyone else notice how on the west coast (odell and best in the west) they broom finish the entire section of concrete right to the edge, but out here on the east coast, they leave edges a smooth finish by not brooming all the way to the edge? I prefer this way, gives the concrete a more interesting look with a small detail.

Great work guys..that is one steep driveway cheers

That gravel looks a lot like what we call MOT TYPE 1 here in the UK .. a blended mix of stone --which placed on TERRAM geotextile membrane and then rolled gives you an instant road way - finished in any surface you desire. OR left by many a farmer. The more you run on , the more it compacts.

That looks great!

Tom do you have to be trained and licensed for those big boys?

In winter it would be a nice sledding ramp :)

Watched your video on mute so sorry if you answered this already. You can pour the driveway and the apron at the same time? That's awesome. Wish we could do that. Inspectors here don't cut us any breaks. Great video and awesome job guys!

Pat on the back to the cement truck operator. They seem to be very accommodating for you

As a Caterpillar engineer, I enjoy seeing the Cat equipment.

FYI --- start time for Noisy works only from 8am. Here in the uk.. albeit some contractors start early so does the language /cursing !!!!

It didn't look terrible when you were breaking it up. What's the reason to replace it?

Looks like Sewickley or Cranberry, and you guys sound like you're from the area 😂😉⬛🟨⬛🟨

Challenging! Well done!

good morning crew, we all know your not sitting around doing nothing, steve you have a well oiled crew, you did a tool box meeting at the start of the job while pop was playing on the dozer. one question from an old man and a rookie, why were there pins going down the center of the drive before the pour?, i love the videos.

That driveway must be real fun to get up and down when there’s ice and snow on it. Yikes

nice job .... hope the customer doesn't need his car out of the garage to soon ...lol

Tom do you have to be trained and licensed for those big boys?

Парни, вы красавчики!!!

Awesome job guys

Beautiful work as always! here from mike morgans channel. What was the reason for the new driveway? Old one looked to be in decent shape.

Thanks for the video! About how much was this service?

Up early!

Why not the skidloader with forks to tear out and then to grade out?

Pour at 7am, rain at 1pm. How do the concrete dry so quickly?

Tom, you all do great work, mike Morgan is next I guess

Great Job...Too Steep For Me!!!

Mine is 20ft climb from the street....😢

DO YOU EVER POUND REBAR STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND TO PREVENT SHIFTING ESPECIALLY ON SLOPES?

Looks great !!!

Super nice job.

another great video keep it up

What was wrong with it before? XD For all the cracks in my driveway and how steep it is, I still don't think its bad enough to replace anytime soon !

Very professional job, I'm sure we have companies in the UK who can do work to this standard, but they are few and far between, much preferring to go to the pub or play on their phones, same for most of the trades really, not all are like that but the ones who are any good charge extortionate prices so most can't afford them and we end up getting ripped off by cowboys who watched a couple of videos.

What is the steepest driveway slope that concrete can be used on?

Only permit work are regulated to specific hours?

I have to wonder with a driveway this steep, does it makes sense to have a grade beam somewhere near the middle of the driveway to prevent future movement downward?

Extremely steep? Hardly!!!

Ok...so what slump exactly did you order for that incline?

Perfection once again, beautiful work.

Great job

Why are driveways built smooth? Even this steep one. I'd be tempted to just hand-throw a bunch of gravel on top of the wet concrete to create a textured non-slip surface. Even if most of the gravel comes loose afterwards, you still have a rough surface for presumably much better traction. But why have I never seen such a thing?

You guys are really good! I have to ask. What was wrong with the old driveway?

appears you already hit something on the engine compartment

Question, why wire mesh and rebar? is wire mesh alone not enough? subbed!

I see an 'OOPS' on the cab. ;)

great work sir, now do you own or rent the loaders and buggies

I can’t believe they left their car in the garage must not need to use it for a while

@ any chance yall are in pittsburgh and would be willing to help new homeowners find a solution to a death driveway, maybe for a PB,Personal Best. or maybe yall have someone who is OP in the area who wont back down from a challenge?

3500 or 4000 psi? Another great job. Looked like it could have been closer to a 3-1/2 or 4 inch slump. It held nice.

Finish looks good. Was there any compaction of subgrade? Wire mesh and rebar seems different than what I can find in WRI literature.

Do you guys do jobs near the Pittsburgh Area?

How long before owner can drive on it

That's closer to a 15 degree angle rather a 45

I guess the doofus in the dark blue shirt standing next to the truck is chunk catcher?

I know one thing home owner kinda screwed themselves left car in garage. It'll be a couple weeks before getting it out. when i heard you say it was a 10 foot drop from garage to street holy cow.

Nice job. This, however, is nowhere near 30 degrees, let alone 45 degrees. More like 15-20, which is steep enough. I've been on one of about 30 degrees and it damn near killed me as we had to screed uphill!!! There was no other way. Again, nice job.

You think that is steep you should come up to the wheeling wv - Pittsburgh pa area ?

On steep drive why would you not use a pear system to help hold concrete from sliding. At my home I have a gap now between garage floor and driveway pad

Man, you guys do some good work without a doubt. Great videos, been following you for a little while, just a quick question, Why don't you guys use a hammer attachment on the track-hoe, I would think that would make it easier, break it in a few places, then clean it up with the hoe..

you've probably been asked before, but why don't you utilize a pumper
