Bobby Dhal thank you for watching!

MancelonaMan thank you sir! And thanks for tuning in!

burningdinosaurs lol! Our frost line is 30 inches. Yes it can be very annoying dealing with the city. Definitely drives up the cost and takes more time. As always thanks for watching

Mad Greek Outdoors thank you! 👍🏻

Thank you!

Brian Gardiner yes definitely want the ripper and I think Jasonworksalot is working on a compaction wheel for me! As always thanks for watching

barry hansen it makes it a bit tricky at times! So far I have dodged the bullet but I could wake up to snow in the morning 😒 thanks again Barry always look forward to hearing from you

Mighty Moe Excavating good idea on the rocks. It can get cold but not for long periods of time. The water line is around 30” deep and the sewers were 18”-24” out from the house. Will also come back to put the yard in and add about 6”-8” of dirt. Thanks again for watching

thederrick1966 thanks buddy! It whatever makes it easier on them lol! Thanks again for watching

Randall Robison lol yes! No wonder my teeth never seem to last very long. Thanks for watching and commenting

VideosByAl yeah it’s rolling in fast! Thanks again for watching

Robert Martin no worries. Congrats on the retirement! Thanks for sending technician41 over I appreciate that! Get some sleep buddy! Thanks again

To much happy ade tonight am burling take care and thank you

@@eliteearthworksllc how the hell u kno bput that ?

@@eliteearthworksllc doh i get it tpo many sherberts

Robert Martin I know all! 😆 he told told in the comments! Take care buddy

walter mattson It will harden up a bit but nothing like it does on the surface. It will allow movement and pads the pipes. Thanks again for watching

tabasco351 yes we drop it down 18” at the house then dig it with a little fall to the riser and block up the pipe as we go

jr avila same here. I just didn’t film it when they were there. we cover with gravel but keep the coupler exposed for them to see it then we can backfill. Thanks for watching

Eddie Morton Tap Man thanks! They run them on top of the footing then it drops down 18” and had to have 30” of cover by the time it gets to the riser. Then when we back fill around the house the line gets covered up 6”-10” usually

Eddie Morton Tap Man Here in Canada the services are 12 feet down. 😬

Yes I try to put a little slope on the ditch

Eddie Morton Tap Man yeah that’s what they are

Rick Ebert yeah the yard it rough grade was also way low on it. I think we brought the finish yard up like 12”-14” back there. But they run the sewer out right on top of the footing. Thanks again for watching

I believe it was

I would try to reach out to anyone I could. Builders landscapers and plumbers. Getting your name out there can be tricky and slow go at first but it will eventually happen. I’ve been doing this work for 26 years so I’ve made a ton of contacts over the years.

@@eliteearthworksllc ok got it thank you I used to this this type of work 2 years before I became a truck driver fast forwards to this year I’ve been an owner operator for 3 years this year I did some subcontracting and some labor work for an excavating company that was building a car wash just so I could get back in the field mentally I still hauled everything that had to get hauled away with my own truck so it was extremely helpful but now I’ve invested in service truck for all the tools equipment trailers literally every tool u can imagine you’ll need , generators water pumps , saw , drills everything down to spray paint and caution tape lol I really wanted to be ready and now I’ve got insurance, bond registered in 2 towns and I haven’t landed any work not sure if I went the right way about it but hey all the money I was making last year I was investing into my next venture so I’m ready to rock and roll looking forward to trying to really get my name out there this 2024 season

psidvicious it is more stable with it in front. I I usually try to always dig that way. I think the only reason it was behind me was because I was already lined up that way, so I just went with it. Has a lot more bounce to it that way. Thanks again for commenting and watching

Mrs. Elite Earthworks lol he better! He told me checks in the mail, but that was like 2 months 🤔

Elite Earthworks LLC we’ll have to contact Mommy Anne! She’s probably the one in charge of the checkbook 😉😂

Thanks. I’m not sure it’s one you found off RU-vids music library

No you’ll have to hire a licensed plumber to hook it up and the city has to inspect it

Jared Ellis thank you! Yes I’m in Joplin. I stated my channel in March I think, it seems to start off very slowly. Just keep posting and comment on other people’s stuff and the subs will start to roll in. If you have an questions on it you can shoot me an email at eliteearthworksllc@gmail.com. Thanks for checking out the channel

Will do. I'm quite familiar with Joplin as my girlfriend came from there and her parents still live in Neosho

Jared Ellis that’s definitely close by about 20 mins from here.

MCCN INC Outdoor works, LLC Carlus C. I’ve got an old Morbark chipper, but I don’t really haul it around to these small jobs. Seems quicker to load it in the truck plus the dump was like a mile down the road. Thanks again

HighEndFilms I could definitely do that. I honestly don’t know about the special training I’m sure you could go to school to learn to operate various equipment. I just jumped on this stuff when I was 14 and have never got off of them lol! I will get a video together soon and get it posted! Thanks for watching

Sweet! I just start my own small excavation company repairing driveways and making driveways overall. Just wanted to see how you got into doing work for the city adding water lines,swear lines and other stuff like. Been watch your channel all day.

HighEndFilms that’s awesome and congrats! I lot of what I do is for one builder in town but it has opened the door to other sewer jobs and such. I did landscaping for about 17 years and met a lot of my contacts there. Feel free to email me at eliteearthworksllc@gmail.com if you have any questions or anything. Thanks again

LÉO JUNIOR thank you!

arkansas13 lol that’s a good one! As always thanks for watching and commenting

tabasco351 they use boards then pull them out as we get it padded in with rock

G4 Outdoors we dodge the snow this time. That’s a great idea! Doughnuts make everything better! Thanks

I’d have to go back and look it’s been about 5 years since I did that job

​@@eliteearthworksllcI'm curious too.

Fixing To Go Fishing haha yeah I did

Al Eladon I believe these houses are two bedrooms and are going to be rentals. But I think they are around $140,000. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Thank you for reply. And sorry forgot to say - Thank you for video)))

Al Eladon you bet! Thank YOU for watching!

So the city can locate the line if they need too

Southern Repair I’m not really what it comes out to by the foot. This is for a builder I do a lot for so it’s just hourly for me to dig and the plumber installs all the pipe. I get $100 for the excavator and the average time is around 4-6 hours for digging and backfilling. Thanks for watching

Elite Earthworks LLC , thanks for the reply. Builders to me were the worst always wanting it done cheaper so I mostly work for individuals.

Southern Repair that’s how I have always felt. This is the only builder I have ever done anything before that doesn’t nickel and dime me. We usually meet when he starting a house and get a budget or idea of what it may entail. It’s worked out good so far but I still pick up jobs for individuals too. Thanks again

This took a day

Really depends on the house how far we have to dig and what obstacles are in the way. They all differ

@@eliteearthworksllc Is there an average cost per foot?

Just depends on the job

Tyler Pittmon it’s regular limestone, the first load had fines or lime dust in it. The one I pushed in the alley is what we call clean rock here. It does not have the fines in it lets the water run through it. But it also locks in and does not settle. Thanks again for watching and commenting

Elite Earthworks LLC Okay, do they allow you to use recycled materials or do you just prefer to use the lime stone? They allow us to use screened recycled concrete for base. Lol we use it since it’s cheaper on the bid.

Tyler Pittmon I’m not if they want us to on the sewer lines but I know on driveways and sidewalks they are using crush concrete. It makes perfect sense to reuse it, you can’t do anything else with the old concrete! And yes definitely cheaper

Elite Earthworks LLC That makes sense. I think it’s a decent base product if it’s crushed to spec. It seems to pack as good as normal base rock.

Tyler Pittmon agreed they put limestone in the concrete here so it’s basically the same thing

I’ll have to look it up. It’s one of RU-vids free songs

@@eliteearthworksllc I see. thanks anyways. Good video

I agree I just dig for the plumber. The builder is cheap I know that. Appreciate the comment

@@eliteearthworksllc well you do what I did for almost 20 years, at a point I was doing 8 or 9 a day if they were in the same community and I can say the work you do is great work. Looked good, nice and to the point. Great videos

Scott thank you! I appreciate that. Yeah you could knock them out if they were close by

Millions Hicks it’s fine that’s a sleeve anyways those rocks didn’t hurt it

michael 02/28/1980 thanks for watching! There’s going to be a lot digging on this channel so you may want to move it along 😉

Marvin Carvin thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching

Elite Earthworks LLC i felt the music was timed well with the faster speed of the video. I watched to the end.....

David knows thank you! I just add the music on the time lapse since without it there would be no sound. I may tone the video down a hair on the music that’s been my biggest complaint on my videos 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks again for watching and commenting

I think that you are on the right track there. The music should be secondary to what you are doing in the video, background. I enjoy watching how you deal the various problems that arise in your work.

Marvin Carvin I appreciate that! I’ll get the music adjusted out. Thanks again
