Removing blacktop then pouring concrete 

You did a very nice job man! Looked to be what the customer wanted. RU-vid is full of trolls and haters who offer no content of their own because they are too weak minded and dumb to actually pull anything off themselves. You make some nice videos and build some dope shit brother, keep up the good work! Nice music throughout as well!

I’m a concrete contractor veteran and we always used to do it that way when small clients asking specifically to do it the way they wanted and willing to pay

Perfect music choice and editing with this job - well done!

It is three years later and I am wondering did the tree live?

You’re one hardworking sob, an artist with heavy equipment! 🤙 Great Chanel. Love all your videos!

ok so no one mentioned how bad ass the cement truck was?

I know Andrew hated having “Harvey the Happy Homeowner” standing there watching him while the whole concrete pour was going on.

Awesome pouring this on your own. My family would have been all hands on deck and in full panic mode haha.

Andrew you give a whole new meaning to the use of mini excavator.... We just got 1 here at the rv resort where I work and live, it truly makes my job so much easier. Great videos and really enjoy watching you do your thing. Great work ethics

Another amazing video! P.S. That tree in the beginning is not a red maple (Acer rubrum) it is actually a Crimson King Maple (Acer platanoides) The Crimson King is a popular shade tree cultivated from the Norway Maple. This slower-growing tree offers unique, attractive purple foliage throughout the season. The tree is noted for its striking color and hardiness. Crimson King trees have a shallow root system and like drier soil.

Appreciate the wonderful music you have in all of these videos! - A Music Teacher

Dear Andrew: You did Yeoman's work!! You Delivered Results! Owners/powerz (i guess) did not want to pay for removal of every element to a depth of 18 inches. You are the man, and if anybody ever tried removal of black top, it is very demanding and annoying! Carry On!

Just a real dude who gets the job done. So hyper caffeinated intros. Thanks for that.

I like how you recycled that old asphalt to build up your substrate. A lot of contractors would have insisted on bringing in fill for that task. Great common sense approach.

You moving that poor tree looked like Peter on family guy moving that whale of the beach with that forklift 😂 good job though I hate black top !!!

Andrew and classical music are a fantastic combination, i so enjoyed it!

Nice work Andrew. I am learning a lot from you. I like how you re use material from the customer's site whenever possible. Wasnt expecting you to be able to use any of that blacktop. Really fun to watch this video.

Hi Andrew, it would be nice to see this driveway after 3 years now if there really occurred massive problems with cracks because of missing expansion joints

That looked okey to me. Not parking trucks on it.just cars etc. I run a business for 32 yrs.i had to go with what my customers could afford.i always got more jobs from those customers and recommendations. There is nothing wrong with andrews work or attitude to work.he is willing to help out his customers and sometimes does more for them. Whos to say that could of been just a temp job until customer saves for something else. You people don't know what the agreement between andrew and customers is.🤔🤔

I just love this. Starting with the music, the tree saving, and the amazing artistic ability with the backhoe. That is impressive and makes me happy! Wish you lived in the Pacific Northwest!

Everone is complaining about the cement job but what they don't understand is not everyone wants a smooth service. I have had people that wanted a grooved or rugged service. In the end I'm pretty sure he made sure what the customer wanted and done it. Quit the notching about someone videos when most of the ones making the complain doesn't have shit. He dont a great job. Thank you for sharing

I've seen Andrew pour on lots of videos. I'm guessing the convo went something like... "The buyer of the house wants the asphalt out and cement in. We, like 95% of America, are one sick day away from forclosure. I have $90 to spare. Can you do it?" Andrew: "Hold my beer."

No grade pins. Never pulled a screed board. Bet that has some puddles in it. No expansion joints. No edging. No stress cuts . Not good!

Beautiful Red Maple. The music, as others have said, adds to the visualization and diversity of the property and project. Dancing to the Machines!

The amount of effort you put into this job is incredible. Very hard worker. Props to you

Hungarian Rhapsody #2. I enjoyed the music while watching you work.

Watching Andrews later videos, I think he learned better techniques and definitely does better with his concrete work. Property maintenance is a constantly learning environment and Andrew tries to do everything he can for his customers. You can now see him raising the mesh and framing more accurately. I do admire his amazing skill level in heavy machinery operation and he does make people's yards look much nicer all the time! The thing to remember is that in circumstances like this where an owner obviously wants to cut corners, it is best to either not take the work, or eat some of the profit and dispose of the debris yourself. I suspect the owner did not want to pay to remove the debris? But regardless dumping the debris on those trees was not good for the trees health. As far as that beautiful decorative Maple, I suspect that you probably carry a few blankets these days for instances like this. Again there is a learning curve because every job differs. But the thing to always remember is that owners who cut corners like this will be the first to tell everyone that you suggested the shortcuts once they start to experience negative repercussions from their dumb choices. They will always claim that they are the victim and that you caused the problems.

Traditional edging, expansion joints and a non-slip surface finish would add a professional look to your excellent work.

Love the music at the beginning. Don’t hate me, but I like it much better than the other style you usually use. Either way, I love your videos.

dude that stuff with the front end loader and backhoe to build and reinforce an errosion barrier was a thing of beauty to watch

Your choice of classical music is excellent.

Finally, a video like this without blaring and discordant background "music". Great pacing with the music too.

Wow can’t believe you poured that much crete on your own. You really are a machine. Unfortunately you have turned me into a lazy bastard. I’m so conflicted, while I should be out there doing stuff I find myself watching your videos haha. Love the way you just hook right into it, something breaks and you find out what and then fix it. Hopefully you are proud of yourself, for you are truly an inspiration.

You do damned fine work and I love classical music on your soundtrack. Well done.

the music so relaxing great video thanks for saving tree

Great Job Andrew! Some us realize that you are not pouring a polished concrete floor in penthouse apartment. I bet your customer was happy with the job and happy with the price. Incredible seeing what 1 guy (usually) can do all by himself will older machines and cutting corners and saving the customers some money along the way.

Great free material for other driveways repairs..

3:00 love your music selections

You should have an update mention about this tree, rather curious as to it living or not

Great job with the skidsteer and escavator I'll give you an A+ for that.... the slab you poured well.... E for effort.... but you kept me around watching the whole thing so well done.

love the videos...music and your creative editing...start off my day with the music which puts me in a trance...thanks

Nice job, looks good !

I appreciate you trying to save the tree! That’s awesome

Mr. Andrew keep up the good work and the great videos you are giving us.

Great video. I like the classical music; your work is art. Speeding up the picture footage is so effective. And I love the picture from the drone in another video. Keep up the good work. Eric

Did you have to put a cut in the concrete afterwards to allow for heat and movement to stop it cracking??

Loving the music in this one!

Andrew Camarata has an Awesome work ethic. its crazy how addicting it becomes watching him do his job. and that Music was FIRE @11:40

You are definitely a hard worker. I just retired from the Operating Engineers with 40 years experience. Concrete work is not your skill at all. No control joints, slab is paper thin, mesh is on ground, no expansion joint at garage floor. I could go on and on. First really cold day, that slab is going to heave as crack. Stick to excavation and grading, you seem to be decent at that. I’ve been following you’re videos and give you a lot of credit for working so hard. You look like a young clean cut kid and very ambitious. Take it from one who is now retired. Set your pace and find a good experienced laborer. If you don’t, you’ll burn yourself out, I promise you. I know you want it all, but you can still make tons of money with out killing yourself. I wish you the best of luck with your business, be safe as well.

Oh god another one of andrew videos, im hooked!!!

Eh! Andrew, You are one amazing machine operator and a one of kind hard worker no matter what you tackle you are master of all trades your parents must be very proud of you. I have been just blown away the last couple weeks since stumbling on your channel what I have been missing all these years on YT world. I have been through some of your kind of projects but you surpassed me in many ways and in my opinion, you have surpassed many that I have seen in my lifetime even on YT, they don't come close to what you have accomplished. I mean it, you can take that to the bank your skills cannot be learned in school this is called hands-on training, hard work experience, not theory sitting down . Ps. loved your Snowmobile clips I still have to catch up on your other videos great editing by the way, plus you are a very pleasant young man and speaker very enjoyable in every way to watch and listen to and learn of some of your new ideas and your thoughts on executing each job and repairs. keep safe. Ciao! Joseph

Lol . Andrew you made my day. I enjoy watching your videos. There’s something about your concrete pours tho that makes it special. Love it. Have a great day sir. .

Great video and the music is perfect , busy busy Andrew 👍

not impressed with concrete work, .....But I do admire how hard you work.... nice!

That roughly 18'x50' concrete pad? Single person job where I normally see 5+ pet job... You sir... I would hire you any day of the week for a project. Great work!

Very nice the way you used the old macadam to extend his land out and then moved those rocks in for support and looks. Well done!

Most hypnotizing demo I've ever seen.

*Literally any job* Andrew: “So we brought the Yanmar today...” 👌🏼

You say it’s what the customer wanted BUT as a professional you should educate your customer or at the very least do a job that you are proud of. You rolled out wire mesh then left it on the dirt instead of lifting it into the middle of the slab. Where the grade was too high you cut your form instead of doing a proper excavation to get a 6” slab. The asphalt broke up because the base material was not the right depth or material to properly support a plyable surface like asphalt so it sure as hell isn’t going to support a thin unreinforced layer of concrete. Your “broom” finish has so many high ridges the customers snow shovel will catch on it every time he tries to clear the snow. You avoided hauling the old asphalt away by expanding the driveway but dumped it over the trees drip zone which will seriously stress those trees. You say it’s what the customer wanted BUT when it all starts to fall apart the customer won’t be saying “Oh well, that’s what I asked for.”

your guys are good inspirations! Thanks

Efficient pouring methods! Love it

I like how you saved the perfectly good tree instead of tossing it. Don't see that too often.

It's not how the job was done. Its how the customer wanted the job done and how much would it cost and what will the customer get for the Price he is charging for different types of work.

Andrew has a great eye for landscaping and the skills on equipment to build it.

Haha I love how the dog just ran across it as you got finished! Good work man!

I thought your house was the container castle :D U got it all :D

Concrete work?? Oh noes here comes the concrete Nazis 😂😂

This is my favorite RU-vid channel

You've got an eclectic taste of music, from metal to house and now classic :-)

Andrew Hard bloody Yaka you did their Well done mate With the tree If the only other chance was it was going to die and it was on the spur of the moment well all kudos to you for trying to save it If you have in the availability to Seasol ( a liquid seaweed ) maybe a good idea to give it a good soaking with that it is a tonic , helps in transplanting shock , and toughens plants for winter and summer conditions and adds extra beneficial microbes to the soil at least give it some good soakings of water every couple of days to help it settle in well done mate love the Castle btw Tony from Western Australia

I’m glad everyone in the comments is a pro a pouring driveways

Tree looks nice and I'm sure it will recover and give you lots of pretty red leaves to rake up lol, as always another great video with perfect music!

Love this music that compliments the ballet-like movement in your skills

HEY ANDY. LOVE THE MUSIC WITH THIS VIDEO! MUCH BETTER THAN THE BANG BANG CRAP THATS FAR TO LOUD, YOU NORMALLY MAKE US SUFFER LOL... MERRY XMAS FROM IRELAND.

Can we get an update on the red maple?

Good job fixing up the driveway. I used to help my dad growing up in his business doing that stuff. As a recommendation, I would advise to use a motorized trowel. It's bulky and heavy, but it does save time and give a nice finish to the concrete. Biggest problem though is the price tag....

Nice work and great music too. That much concrete looks like a major job for one person.

Best part about this video is the music

concrete pour is so thin..... first frost, or sign of snow and it'll crack BADLY!. no relief cuts, or expansion joints?

You sir, are badass! Love your videos.

As usual, great vid with nice music.

Yeah sorry mate you truly do need to work on your concreting. Screed first then bull float then put your texture on it whether that be broom, sponge, swirl etc. and concrete cuts or v join it mate

You did a good job by yourself ignore the haters thumbs up ☺

Looks Great Andrew!

I like these time lapse videos with classical music kinda works well. Heavy machinery with soft music.

Crazy that's all. Can't wait to be the one to replace the concete. Ppl like you keep me in business. 🖒🖒. Keep it up.

You're a man of many talents, sir!

Nice work. Also enjoyed the classical soundtrack. Lol

That seemed like a good size pour for one worker and one "supervisor", I seen pours that size with a crew of 5 or 6. Great job.

Huge props for saving the tree.

Odell Complete Concrete is a reference

Huge job well done and by one energetic young man. Very impressive.

Perfect music and video!!

LOL at the concrete work!! I guess you found that 1 customer in a billion that would accept that.

Not the way I would have done the concrete, maybe that is what the customer wanted. Anyway I like your video

Good job on the editing and the music.Good combination of sped up time and real time, didn't drag it out.You did that driveway like someone ironing a shirt..

Andrew: I appreciate and enjoy your videos.

Once a tree gets barked up like that it's not going to make it

Thin very thin asphalt closer to the house. I see why it cracked.

this is freakin charming to watch - I've never called anything like this before!
