The thing I appreciate about your videos, Andrew, is that you tell a story. You don't just show up and film the work, you record you arriving at a place, which shows what rig you're bringing, the state of the job currently, and it serves as am intro. When you're done we get a follow-up to see the state after you're done. I'm sure it's a ton of work, but I really makes your videos stand out. Well done, sir. There's a reason you've got so many subs.
He really does do a lot of work with the camera. He doesn't leave it at the same view for the entirety of an area he's working, he moves it to get all types of different angles. That makes the job last longer for him too getting on and off the tractors.
@@thelyingscotsman7993 yeah, if you review his older videos, you start to appreciate all the camera moving even more - Andrew often walks quite a bit to have the scene set up AND then arrives with vehicle, super easy to spot in winter videos by the footsteps and lack of tire tracks. That takes a lot of effort.
@ djAnakin ..another dimension with Andrew's videos is the music choice. It always has a thinking man's appreciation of creativity which Andrew definitely has.
Evanscreek Brahman that’s how Labradors or labs are, which is what Levi looks like. They are water sport dogs, retrieving ducks and other fowl was something they were raised for long ago. They have thick coats to help shed water and stay warm in water. Summer heat is no fun for them so they will always look for a way to cool off.
When it comes to driveway repair, skid steer usage, scraping if gravel, etc... this is probably the BEST all time for me! I am STILL rewatching this months later and still enjoying the content!
Like the old Fram commercial said, “You can pay me or pay me later “. Something tells me they’re gonna be calling you back for gravel before winter comes.

I continue to watch this video which is becoming my all time favorite to view. The way the teeth cut into the gravel, the buikd up of gravel to fill in the potholes.... the camera view catching it all..... I love it!
Back again! I really watched this video to the very end in detail and I love how the potholes were addressed. The grading and the spreading of material.... camera view made it easy to follow!
I know this is your business and how you earn money and you can't show every job but I do enjoy the ones you do show. It shows how someone can do a job and do it well. Please give Levi a hug from me. He's so much fun to watch.
I subbed around 40something K and his channel has been growing ever since. The 100k video with the cut up trax was a great video and funny. Andrew also turned me on to his friend Jesse Muller channel which is a great channel also. Check him out and support Jesse's channel as you will be glad you did folks.
Some days you need to protect your lungs like your ears ... A little here a little there all adds up over time. Good to see your work. Thank you! BTW you have the most interesting music for your subject. Do you choose It?
Another excellent video Andrew, well done. I really look forward to seeing the way you do these jobs. Your proficiency with the machines is outstanding. Others have tried to copy your video style and failed dismally, some comments even suggested they should have got Andrew Camarata to do the job for them! It's no wonder you have so many subscribers, keep them coming and hello from Perth Western Australia.
At first I wondered why you took on the job when the customer dismissed your initial evaluation to import gravel but you got it done and made the customer happy , great job.
This video has been up for three days........and there has been almost quarter million views, and I have never heard Andrew say “hit the subscribe button”............AMAZING!
Old school black top guy told me before he passed away some great info on pot holes and repair. You have to rip them apart. Regrade to shed water. Put some fresh stuff on top roll/compact. Great job sir.
Nice one Andrew. When I first saw the tooth-bucket I was skeptical but when I saw what it did it was a great option. Some of the spots it worked perfect but where there was too little gravel it over-turned some of the dirt. It would have been better if they filled the holes with gravel and then leveled it.
@Advocatus Diaboli Usually how it goes. Summertime job videos, wintertime plowing/maintenance videos. Supposed to be a nasty one this year, so I'm expecting a lot of plowing videos.
Awesome job. Lab dogs always find water. Plus on almost every video I see Levi thirsty and getting a drink. Good to see the Levi getting around with you.
Levi is such a great dog. He goes and ventures around but not too far. All Mr. Andrew has to do is give a little whistle and Levi is right there. Very loyal dog to stay so close by when Andrew is on a tractor for such long periods. My dog would be in another county chasing a squirrel or deer. Great driveway fix by the way skid steer master. 👍
Good job Andrew. I don’t understand people who aren’t willing to pay to do a job right! It will get rutted up again in no time without proper compaction and some fresh gravel. But all parties understand this was a “bandaid” fix so its all good! Thanks for all the videos man.
One of the best channels on RU-vid. You gotta know that Andrew has a lot of skills, but especially social skills. It is hard to deal with customers who will make decisions that are not in their own self-interest, out of stubbornness or unwillingness to put out the money to do a job right. Andrew is very accommodating and went that extra mile to fix a problem the best he could. Undoubtedly, with a few big rains or snows, that drive is going to be in bad shape again. I'm glad these videos exist to document that AC did recommend gravel for a better fix. I hope these people don't complain in 3 months about his work.
Ruthless Goat it's a gravel drive way, no big deal. It's better than it was, it was inexspencive and fast. People on here are wierd, gravel roads always need work.
An absalute pleasure to watch once again. Loving your work n watching the channel grow. You really are in my books the most satisfying channel to watch much respect 😎✌🏼
Ripping up the road surface is called scarifying. If the surface was not scarified to a depth below the bottom of the potholes, they will most likely reappear in the same places again. It will be interesting to see what happens next spring.
That's good info 👍 I think this driveway might have bedrock in certain areas. Might have been a lost cause without more funding to break rock and whatnot.
I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. you do such a good job with each video showing them and editing them is great work. Plus you always do such good work, you go the extra mile and pay attention to the little details. As always I love the shot from the drone at the end when the job is done. A perfect ending Everytime. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Levi, the dog (job) inspector. I love how Levi always scopes out Andrew's work afterwords. "Yep this is acceptable Andrew." -- in a dog voice, of course! :-)
That tooth bucket is the right tool for the job. I have got to get me one of those now. Thanks for enlightening me to help with my next jobs. You’re right about the smooth bucket because I’ve only had that so far and it’s much much harder to grade with it
The Bucket is working well ... nice job Andrew... I’ve noticed you’re using the Bobcat allot these days... glad you got your electrical issues sorted out on it ... just love your videos... ..
ALways entertaining Andrew! Great Camera angles and good editing. Very Satisfying to see the work getting done then the completion. You are very skilled and make it all look so easy. Keep up the good work and continue to upload for us! -- :)
He's not actually working in that cloud we see through the camera's POV the cab is a wee bit higher and somewhat further back - but you are certainly right his sinus and lungs are eating some rock and organic dust and a decent 3M respirator or its equivalent would add spring to his step and depth to his breath in twenty odd years. Somewhat like layering some loads of gravel on that drive, why not splurge the cost for the future comfort and forgo a false economy.
For sure, at the very least he should have a dust mask. People always think tis fine because they are outside but you are kicking up all kinds of shit and you are for sure breathing that in.
You gotta talk about the new truck! I think your videos are so wholesome and sometimes I just watch them to relax. Thank you and keep doing your thing. Much love from NC
Okay, I am hooked. I have spent hours watching you clear driveways, fix motors, wave run the Hudson and even built the coolest workshop ever. . You are one very talented and resourceful guy. I love your ingenuity when tackling a problem. I would love to see all your toys and there accessories lined up in a row. It seems just when I think you have every possible machine for the job you show up with another one. LOL Would love to see a profile of your drone. You have some pretty exception aerial video's. Keep the videos coming. I am retired so have lots of time to watch them. I live in Canada and winter is coming so I will be stuck in my igloo til the spring thaw. BaaaHaaa
Love watching your show your what america is all about your a hard working man you remind me of how i used to work before i got hurt keep u the good work mike from west virgina
Showcasing the jobs you like doing is a great way to advertise and keep up the style of work. Love the intro and outro too, makes the job and video complete. The other aspect that sets your videos apart and above the herd and a lot of mainstream media is the pace with no overdone explanations of thoughts or processes, letting the visual information transfer without slowing speed, something which adds a lot to keeping the viewer remaining focused. I wouldn't change the pace btw I think you have it spot on as some media pros have stated here previously.
If you haven't already I HIGHLY recommend giving Levi a daily MSM/Glucosamine supplement. It has really helped my 13 y/o lab with arthritis and hip dysplasia. It took YEARS off of her. Works great for humans as well :)
I have a side tilt bucket on my SS Loader, a 6in1, a precision run every time , so less frustrating, drainage and road crowning is a piece of cake. The bucket takes the machine from just fish to fish with the chips! A clever Australian Patent.
I can already see a “revisiting a regrading job” video before next summer lol “we’re here on this job again to add more gravel, since the last time we were here the customers only wanted a regrading”
Andrew is more mechanically inclined than 99.99 percent of the population. To solve the many problems like he does and then make a movie of it that's fun to watch, wow!!! Way above the rest, Andrews make a driveway video is past 4 million views! SWEET!
As always, good video. Watched to the end. Customer is always right... as painful as that can be sometimes. Share your experience-based expertise... and let be what will be. Good work Andrew.
Obviously we should wait for the videos about "I bought the cheapest small motor grader on the Internet" I certainly would watch you make it functional again and then watch it in use!
The cost of maintaining a dirt road is always there. The cost of not maintaining it is offset by car repair bills, and the cost of paving it is too high initially. Pro's and con's the way life is LOL
Even if you have to open a line of credit, paving is the way to go. We paved the driveway at our cabin ~5 years ago and it has made a world of difference. Resealing every 3 years vs near constant maintenance makes it a no brainer. No more getting the tractor out and leveling it every other time we're there. No more worrying about ruts and gravel clogged culverts.
love vids i think a good idea for a vid would be how you deal with customers who try to not pay you. and the ones who say you broke something or messed something up, that was in no way what so ever your fault
Just from my experience that is all about reading people. They usually stand out as overspending with a lavish lifestyle and their reputation precedes them. There were plenty of people I just simply refused to work for but you can't judge them all. My father had a really successful hardware store after ten years in construction and only refused service to one woman. She kept buying paint by the gallon, using half and refilling each can with water and returning it for a full refund. My father cheerfully refunded her money after figuring her scam out and took her aside and told her he could no longer afford her patronage.
Hahaha. FANTASTIC I cannot get over your awesomeness. I don't know how the Discovery Channel doesn't pick you up. I would love it. But then again we can see more videos from you personally. I really mean it Andrew great entertainment, you give us what we want. Thank You & Levi; He is a great friend to you and vice-versa.
Discovery would make a disaster out of it. Perfect the way he does it now. No added drama, no 8 people getting in his way, no commercial every 10 minutes or cliffhangers the end of every episode.
