The Ultimate Muddy Driveway Repair Guide 

My dad an I own an operate a small residential grading company. I’ve been doing this kinda work for 22 years since I was 10. And I love watching how other people do it. You my friend are a badass on that tractor and have a lot of pride in what you do! Grading is my passion an I can tell it’s yours too! Great job man can’t wait to see your channel grow! I’m thinking about starting a channel too. We need more grading channels to watch! Lol

Your`e like a surgeon with that bucket, what a nice job you did fixing that mess, I love these grading videos, keep em coming my friend.

Heck yeah, man! I'm digging that tilt bucket!

I’ve watched hours of your videos and this is the first video I understood your bucket can tilt to help make the crown of the driveway. Makes perfect sense. Understand I have no idea how to do what you do so well

Sound quality is good! Great video! 🇺🇸💪👊

This is absolutely a fantastic video brother. Won't be long till you start hitting in the millions of views. Very engaging and it flows very nicely. Enjoy watching you reshape roads like this. Best of luck take care thanks

That was a work of art. Beautiful job. I know the customer is going to love it.

That turned out wonderful. I've watched every video on this job and u did ine hell of a great job, Todd.

That was super satisfying to watch, especially peeling it back in the beginning 😂 loving that 750. Interior is almost identical to my 350 single wheel 6.7.

This is just awesome. I'm so glad that you share the work you do. I can't wait to get started projects like this.

that tilt bucket is enviable. Such a great tool. I think we used to call those drainage ditches off a driveway a "turnout"

Watching gravel being tailgated is so weirdly satisfying! Nice job Todd!

Good looking project! ... We use typar a lot! This time of year its the only way to work on roads! Hoping to finish burning brush today ... then we will be ready to start building the new road back into the holler where the garage/apartment .... keep up the good work!

Your in cab audio is sounding great. 👍🏻

Man I just bought a diesel brand tilt bucket for my cat 304 and I absolutely love it

Like them tilt buckets

Good walk thru and info,nice finished job..I like the fact you put quality finish on your work..good job as always..

For those getting into anything involving laying crusher run/GAB/road bond: there is a formula to calculate tonnage. Length x Width divided by 9(gives you square yardage) then multiplied by (110 for 1inch, 220 for 2inch, etc) divided by 2000 and thats your tonnage. It weighs 110LBS at an inch thick in one square yard, so multiply the 110 by your inches of thickness.

Doing it,great job.

Nice job, looks great!

Looks like that bucket works well.

I agree 100% that it looks like a blast and probably doing a better job with that tilt bucket and excavator vs box blade. I’ve been working for a while cutting a driveway in on my property with a subcompact and box blade and it’s a long, tedious process for sure. The fancy toys definitely make a big difference but totally worth it when it’s your business.

Dat heb jij echt super mooi gedaan

Good looking Job !

Hello Todd. I really enjoyed this video. Well done Todd on a professional job...

YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY! 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤘🏼💯

Nice work, that shovel sure does a lot.

Great work.......great video

Good stuff!! 😎👍🏼✅

Great educational video with Sense of humour

I use the fabric on my drive. Over time like most driveways where you drive becomes lower. Now over time I've tried grading the drive the fabric started showing in the center. So I'll need to add more gravel and repair the fabric in the center of the driveway I tore with the grading I did.

I'm here for the coffee cup lol Ace Excavation

Microphone sounds really good.

Good video my man!!

great video, one of your best:)

Put a serrated cutting edge on that smooth tilt bucket and you would really be impressed.

Great

Nice job 👍👍👍👍

Looking good todd here in east tn been to wet come on spring

I consider myself a pretty good operator, this guy is an artist!!

Muddy indeed!

Nice work Art. Ha ha ha. Cheers from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

love that tilt bucket, im gonna get one when i grow up..thumbs up my friend !

Hi Todd. I have enjoyed your videos and learned a lot from them. I am faced with clearing a hillside of yaupon jungle in dandy loam and wonder how you would prevent erosion after clearing. Thanks

Excellent kid when you are leveling the mud part when you have your boom flat, do you keep it level as your moving or eyeball it up or down?

Great job. What brand of tilt bucket did you finally choose?

It’s a video!

I was wondering if you would get this job knowing how your prices were a little more for how far out it was.

Very nice. Question, whats the purpose of the fabric? Im trying to learn some, although we don't get snow in brazil, we get a lot of mud lol

Great video. Do you get your fabric from a local supplier or order it from outside your area? What type of fabric do you recommend?

In super clay soil that gets waterlogged when it rains, would you ever lay rock down before you use the fabric? Or is it always material on top of fabric, as a rule?

Have you ever done a steep mountain driveway

Ok brother you need to give us all the local names for what you call road bond. Start with the southeast tennessee name! Good video man

Really like your videos.. would a small dozer be a better piece to use on this job if you had it available?

How heavy is your box blade? I picked up a 1400# EA and was wondering if that is a heavier version than yours. As I do brushoging I am reticent to putting the wheel weights on. I do have the wheels loaded

What’s that yanmar run with the rotex head rough hand ? Looks pretty close to a kamatsu pc 35 size machine I’m sure it’s gotta be cheaper a little bit 🤔

Wish you could do my driveway!

I had a well driller tell me that on certain clay's to put larger 3" minus down in the mud, and fabric on that to keep the what would be now sealed constantly wet clay from pumping, and then put AB on the fabric that is over the 3" minus that is over the clay allowing it to drain better I guess. Granted he is a pump driller and not a road builder, but he does drove the heaviest equipment over roads built by driveway or country road builders, and notices the difference, so he says. It sounds reasonable. Any further advice on this? I know I just did a job in clay that another guy left, which ended up eroding big time. I put down inch and half and tracked into this up hill drive and that seemed to stabilized the road to where I was no longer sliding and it did dry quicker. Then I put the fabric down. The the 3/4". Had I done the fabric, it would have just tore up. The guy's advice was a good call on that job.

Finally I saw how you laid down roadbed cloth and drove over it! I was wondering how that worked.. I thought it would wad up under your tires or tear from the weight or whatnot.. I'm curious why you didn't put any cloth under the steep portion of driveway. Is it because it slopes enough to drain quickly?

Do you have a lute rake for the hand leveling?

If you had to lose one, would you give up the excavator or the skidsteer?

I must have somehow missed it in a previous video, but what brand tilt bucket and coupler is that?

I am wondering would it be faster to use the plow thing on the excavator

Hay dude I have a fabric question. If you have fabric down and after some and the drive needs regraded what it the chance of 'accidently' ripping up some of the fabric and causing a lot of repair. Just curious.

What rock are you calling road bond? 789-57?

Hey can you ad a link for the fabric you use?

Where did you get that bucket?

What kind of fabric is it?

Going to rent an excavator and try and fix my driveway for the first time ever. Should be easy.......

What are you calling "Road Bond",. 3/4 minus??

Is the cloth something that is really necessary? Or is that in just certain areas?

What is the fabric?

See that's what you get when don't go for the cheapest quote! Todd put more material down at his own cost because he wants to do it right.

Why do you dig when you have frost underground? Should at least dig 20 cm down and then take fibercloth then take 4-5mm singel, and then gravel on top to have a good stable road. And trenches and trench and tubes to divade the water. Should never fix a road in the winter, should be done during summer not when you have frost (telehiv) under ground.

Didn't you do a video on bidding this driveway about a year ago?

Why did it take so long to finish..?

Why the hell would you be doing this whilst the frost is well into the ground ffs ....

thats not an extremely muddy driveway.
