A skid steer, specifically a Caterpillar 259D, is used to move large quantities of excavated soil, creating an initial level area. This area is then compacted using a vibratory plate compactor, powered by a Honda GX160 engine, to ensure a firm and stable subgrade. The first course of retaining wall blocks is then carefully laid out and leveled, forming the base of the wall. A Makita leaf blower is used throughout this process to clear any debris from the blocks and the ground, ensuring clean contact surfaces. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 45 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/constructing-retaining-wall-courses-c3326644 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Constructing Retaining Wall Courses — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard 4k This step involves building the main structure of the retaining wall by stacking multiple courses of blocks. Workers carefully lay each retaining wall block, using a large rubber mallet, commonly referred to as a sledgehammer, to firmly tap them into their final position. To maintain precise horizontal alignment and prevent deviations in the wall, a string line is meticulously set and followed along each course. Additionally, before placing each new layer of blocks, the previous course is cleaned with a Makita leaf blower to remove any dirt or debris, which helps ensure proper seating and structural integrity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 109 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/custom-cutting-and-splitting-retaining-wall-blocks-c3326645 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Custom Cutting and Splitting Retaining Wall Blocks — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard Achieving a professional finish requires custom block fabrication. For blocks that need to fit snugly against the house or other structures, a Husqvarna K770 concrete saw, equipped with a diamond blade, is used to make precise and tight cuts. This ensures a clean and exact fit. For the visible ends of the retaining wall, where a natural, rough texture is desired, a hammer and chisel (also known as a splitting tool) are employed to hand-split the blocks. Before cutting or splitting, a speed square and pencil are used to accurately mark the cut lines, ensuring precision and consistency. Safety is paramount during this step, requiring safety glasses, ear protection, and a dust mask. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 99 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/installing-wall-caps-and-securing-them-c3326646 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Installing Wall Caps and Securing Them — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard 4k After all courses of the retaining wall are laid, the final course of cap blocks is installed to provide a finished look and protect the wall. These cap blocks are often customized, requiring precise cuts or splits (using the tools from the previous step) to fit perfectly, especially at corners or where the wall meets the house. Once in place, each cap block is permanently secured to the course below using construction adhesive, applied with a caulking gun. This adhesive ensures the caps remain stable and adds durability to the overall structure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 115 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/backfilling-and-rough-grading-with-heavy-equipment-c3326647 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Backfilling and Rough Grading with Heavy Equipment — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard With the retaining wall complete, the area behind it is prepared by backfilling and rough grading. A Caterpillar 259D skid steer is used to move the excavated soil back into place, creating the initial contours of the new yard. This particular skid steer is equipped with a specialized 'Hydro Bucket' attachment, which integrates the functionality of a Harley Rake. This powerful combination allows for efficient spreading of material while simultaneously loosening and aerating the compacted soil, making it ready for the subsequent fine grading process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 294 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/fine-grading-and-preparing-for-sod-c3326648 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Fine Grading and Preparing for Sod — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard 4k After the rough grading is complete, the Caterpillar 259D skid steer, still equipped with its Hydro Bucket and Harley Rake attachment, is utilized for the fine grading process. This involves meticulously leveling and smoothing the entire area where sod will be installed. The Harley Rake component is particularly effective here, as it breaks down any remaining soil clods, removes small debris, and creates a uniform, even surface. This precise preparation is essential for ensuring that the sod lays flat, roots properly, and results in a smooth, aesthetically pleasing lawn. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 5 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/laying-sod-c3326649 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Laying Sod — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard 4k With the soil finely graded and prepared, pallets of sod rolls are brought to the site by the Caterpillar 259D skid steer. Workers then carefully unwrap each roll of sod, typically using a utility knife to cut the plastic packaging. The sod is then laid out across the prepared ground, with each strip placed tightly against the previous one to eliminate gaps. The workers ensure that all edges meet seamlessly and trim any excess sod to fit the exact contours of the yard or existing structures. https://www.youtube.com/embed/68Vs3nuku2I 62 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/finishturning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-4k-v3275321/personalizing-the-retaining-wall-c3326650 2026-10-10T04:17:34.805Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/68Vs3nuku2I/hqdefault.jpg Personalizing the Retaining Wall — Finish=Turning a Hill into a flat(er) backyard 4k To add a unique and lasting personal touch to the newly constructed retaining wall, the family is invited to personalize some of the hidden blocks.

It involves site preparation, removal of existing structures like fences, extensive excavation using a skid steer, precise measurement and marking of the wall's footing, and the installation of the first few courses of retaining wall blocks with appropriate backfilling and compaction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 887 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/introduction-and-site-assessment-c3326587 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Introduction and Site Assessment — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 The video opens with the presenter introducing the project: transforming a heavily sloped backyard into a flat, usable space for a family with young children. This involves extensive excavation, the construction of a retaining wall, and eventually, sodding the new flat areas. The site is visually inspected, highlighting the steep grade, existing chain-link fence, and proximity to the house's foundation and patio slab. The presenter introduces Sam, who will be assisting with the landscaping work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 179 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/equipment-preparation-and-inspection-c3326588 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Equipment Preparation and Inspection — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 Before beginning heavy work, all machinery must be inspected and prepared. Sam uses a Milwaukee M18 cordless grease gun to lubricate various grease points on the Caterpillar skid steer loader, including the main pins and hydraulic cylinders. He notes that the front pins can be particularly sticky and applies WD-40 spray lubricant to ease their movement. The main presenter, Blaine, also checks the engine oil level using the dipstick to ensure optimal machine performance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 57 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/fence-removal-and-rough-excavation-c3326589 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Fence Removal and Rough Excavation — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 The first step in transforming the backyard is removing the existing chain-link fence. Sam uses a Milwaukee impact driver with various DeWalt bits to quickly unfasten the fence fabric from the posts. For fence posts that are concreted into the ground and connected to the house structure, extreme caution is exercised. Shovels and a pickaxe are used to carefully dig around these posts to free them without damaging the house's foundation or brick molding. Once the fence is removed, the skid steer begins the rough cut of the hill, pushing and moving the excavated soil to start flattening the sloped area, preparing it for the retaining wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 96 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/setting-string-lines-and-marking-footing-c3326590 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Setting String Lines and Marking Footing — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 Blaine meticulously sets up a string line to mark the precise alignment and level for the retaining wall. He drives rebar stakes into the ground with a hammer at strategic points along the wall's path. He uses a handheld level to ensure the string line is perfectly horizontal, which is crucial for a straight wall. Following this, Sam uses pink marking spray paint to outline the intended footprint of the footing. He indicates that the footing will be 12 inches below the front of the grade, with 6 inches for the rock base and another 6 inches for the buried course of blocks. He also marks the back of the footing 18 inches behind the string line for the clear rock cap. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 52 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/transporting-materials-and-laying-rock-base-c3326591 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Transporting Materials and Laying Rock Base — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 The skid steer is first used to move a pallet of retaining wall blocks from the delivery truck to the site. Then, it returns to the truck to pick up a load of 3/4 inch clear sewer rock. Blaine carefully maneuvers the skid steer to dump the rock into the excavated trench, creating the initial 6-inch base for the wall's footing. The rock is spread evenly, and Sam then uses a plate compactor to thoroughly compact the rock, ensuring a solid and stable foundation. Blaine then sets the first retaining wall block, focusing on exact placement as it dictates the alignment of the entire wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 89 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/cutting-and-laying-first-course-of-blocks-c3326592 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Cutting and Laying First Course of Blocks — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 Blaine uses a Husqvarna gas-powered cut-off saw to precisely cut retaining wall blocks to fit against the house's foundation. The saw, surprisingly, starts easily despite not being used for ten months. After the initial blocks are cut and placed, Sam begins laying the first course of blocks along the string line. Both workers then 'toe in' the blocks, meaning they backfill with excavated soil both in front of and behind the blocks immediately after placement to secure them. This step continues for multiple courses of the buried section of the wall, with careful placement and leveling of each block. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 116 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/backfilling-and-compacting-buried-courses-c3326593 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Backfilling and Compacting Buried Courses — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 With the initial courses of the retaining wall laid, the area behind them is backfilled with excavated soil using the skid steer. Blaine operates the skid steer, carefully dumping the soil into the trench behind the blocks. Sam then spreads the soil with a shovel and compacts it thoroughly using a Wacker Neuson plate compactor. A string line serves as a guide for the height of the backfill. It is crucial to maintain a safe distance with the plate compactor from the freshly laid blocks to prevent dislodging them. Any areas too close to the wall or in tight corners are compacted manually with a hand tamper or other tools. This process builds up the soil behind the buried portion of the wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/turning-a-hill-into-a-flater-backyard-pt2-v3275322/shade-setup-and-continued-wall-construction-c3326594 2026-10-10T04:06:47.155Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B7k8_qieUIo/hqdefault.jpg Shade Setup and Continued Wall Construction — Turning a Hill into a Flat(er) backyard pt/2 Given the hot weather conditions, Sam and Blaine quickly set up a 10ft x 10ft Iron Ton pop-up canopy to provide shade over the work area. They resume the process of laying retaining wall blocks, moving in sequence along the marked string line. After each section of blocks is laid, they are 'toed in' with excavated soil, ensuring stability. The skid steer assists in bringing more excavated soil to the site for backfilling behind the newly laid courses. Sam spreads the soil with shovels, and Blaine uses the plate compactor for uniform compaction. This methodical process ensures the wall is built layer by layer, with continuous leveling and backfilling. They confirm that for the subsequent courses above the buried section, they will transition from excavated soil to 3/4 inch clear drain rock for proper drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7k8_qieUIo 195 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-most-money-ive-lost-on-any-one-job-v3275323 2026-10-10T03:45:25.911Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q3Ycb0PNrwQ/hqdefault.jpg The Most Money I've lost on any one Job This video, while not a direct instructional guide for concrete driveway demolition, offers anecdotal insights into large-scale site preparation, compaction techniques, and the complexities of project management in the construction industry.

The speaker recounts applying 'old farming techniques' and 'road construction techniques' to achieve soil compaction. Specifically, he would fill his old 1976 White Road Boss dump truck, loaded beyond its legal capacity (up to 60-70,000 lbs compared to its legal 53,000 lbs), and drive it around the footings. This 'compression compaction' method successfully achieved 107% compaction, significantly exceeding the required 97% standard Proctor density. This unconventional approach, while effective, reportedly upset the project supervisors who expected standard compaction methods. https://www.youtube.com/embed/q3Ycb0PNrwQ 184 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-most-money-ive-lost-on-any-one-job-v3275323/overnight-concrete-pad-preparation-c3327677 2026-10-10T03:45:25.911Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q3Ycb0PNrwQ/hqdefault.jpg Overnight Concrete Pad Preparation — The Most Money I've lost on any one Job During the Menards project, the presenter was given a demanding deadline to prepare the entire interior pad of the superstore for concrete by the next morning, starting from raw dirt. To meet this challenge, and with his limited existing equipment (an excavator, a New Holland 180 skid steer, and a dump truck), he rented two Komatsu D41P dozers, which were outfitted with masts for laser grading. He, his father, and Tim worked continuously through the day and night. This intense effort successfully made the vast area concrete-ready by the deadline.

The central problem stemmed from a crucial survey 'control point' that was intentionally destroyed by another contractor on site because it was in their way. Without this key reference point, the surveyors hired by the general contractor incorrectly staked the wall, mistaking the top of the wall for the bottom. This resulted in the retaining wall being built off by inches, rather than feet, which is a critical error for a precise structure like a running track's retaining wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/q3Ycb0PNrwQ 107 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-most-money-ive-lost-on-any-one-job-v3275323/litigation-and-lesson-learned-c3327679 2026-10-10T03:45:25.911Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q3Ycb0PNrwQ/hqdefault.jpg Litigation and Lesson Learned — The Most Money I've lost on any one Job Following the incorrect retaining wall construction, the general contractor threatened to sue the presenter to force him to rebuild the wall (an estimated $100,000 cost), despite the presenter not having been paid for the initial work. Recognizing that a judge unfamiliar with construction intricacies might split the difference in a lawsuit, and that rebuilding would financially cripple his company, the presenter decided against a full legal battle. He recounts contacting the overall site development project manager (who had previously been angered by his unconventional methods but now saw his integrity). This project manager surprisingly sided with him against the general contractor. While the presenter still lost the initial payment, he avoided the catastrophic cost of rebuilding and further litigation. The key lesson learned was the critical need to verify all survey points independently and the challenges of trusting other parties on a construction site. https://www.youtube.com/embed/q3Ycb0PNrwQ 199 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/tough-day-on-the-farm-job-v3275324 2026-10-10T04:04:41.077Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ErQjTRwXeGg/hqdefault.jpg TOUGH DAY on the Farm job This project details the process of transforming an old farm site, previously used as a pasture and filled with buried debris, into a manicured yard.

The primary goal of this initial step is to ensure the Class 5 base layer is at the correct elevation, 3 inches below the final string line (which represents the top of the pavers). If the base is too high, additional material needs to be removed using a skid-steer loader and shovels. If it's too low, more Class 5 aggregate must be added and then raked and leveled using a landscaping rake and shovel. The Class 5 aggregate is compacted in lifts (sections) using a plate compactor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDN60f587oQ 145 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/installing-brick-pavers-start-to-finish-day2-v3275332/set-screed-rails-and-distribute-sand-c3327037 2026-10-10T04:54:50.673Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dDN60f587oQ/hqdefault.jpg Set Screed Rails and Distribute Sand — Installing Brick pavers -start to finish day2 Use a measuring tape and a large speed square to establish perfectly square reference lines for the paver installation. Since existing structures like sidewalks or house foundations might not be perfectly square, create your own baseline. For this project, a new line is snapped 8 inches from the crooked existing sidewalk edge. Once the baseline is established, lay down two galvanized steel plumbing pipes (1-inch diameter) parallel to each other. These pipes will act as screed rails, defining the exact height and slope for the sand setting bed. Ensure these pipes are perfectly level using a level and make any fine adjustments to the Class 5 base underneath by adding or removing material and re-compacting any disturbed areas with a hand tamper. Once the pipes are perfectly set, a bulk bag of sand is brought in by the skid-steer loader and emptied onto the prepared area. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDN60f587oQ 164 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/installing-brick-pavers-start-to-finish-day2-v3275332/screed-and-finetune-the-sand-bed-c3327038 2026-10-10T04:54:50.673Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dDN60f587oQ/hqdefault.jpg Screed and Fine-Tune the Sand Bed — Installing Brick pavers -start to finish day2 Once the sand is distributed, use a long, straight screed board to level the sand between the two galvanized steel pipes. The pipes act as guides, ensuring a consistent 1-inch thickness for the sand bed. Carefully remove any excess sand as you pull the screed board along. After screeding, inspect the sand bed for any imperfections or low spots. Use a hand trowel to meticulously fill and smooth out any uneven areas. The goal is a perfectly flat and uniform sand bed. Continue this process across the entire area where pavers will be laid, moving the pipes as you complete each section and re-setting them for the next. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDN60f587oQ 142 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/installing-brick-pavers-start-to-finish-day2-v3275332/lay-the-pavers-in-a-random-pattern-c3327039 2026-10-10T04:54:50.673Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dDN60f587oQ/hqdefault.jpg Lay the Pavers in a Random Pattern — Installing Brick pavers -start to finish day2 Begin laying the pavers following the established square lines. For this project, a random pattern is used with various paver shapes and colors. To avoid disturbing the perfectly screeded sand bed, use a 'click and drop' method: align each paver, gently set it into place, and then release it, avoiding any sliding. This technique ensures the sand bed remains undisturbed. Continuously monitor the pattern to avoid creating unwanted straight lines or repetitive sections, which would diminish the 'random' effect. If a pattern starts to emerge, intentionally disrupt it by changing the orientation or type of paver used in the next section. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDN60f587oQ 61 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/installing-brick-pavers-start-to-finish-day2-v3275332/cut-edge-and-compact-the-paver-driveway-c3327040 2026-10-10T04:54:50.673Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dDN60f587oQ/hqdefault.jpg Cut, Edge, and Compact the Paver Driveway — Installing Brick pavers -start to finish day2 Many pavers will need to be cut to fit around obstacles (like a sidewalk) or to complete edges. Use a powerful cut-off saw with a diamond blade for this task. Carefully mark the pavers to be cut, considering both large cuts and small 'slivers' needed for a snug fit. Once all the field pavers are laid and cut edges are completed, install paver edging along the perimeter. Dig a shallow trench to embed the edging, then secure it to the ground with long spikes. These spikes, even if they rust, will 'weld' themselves to the soil, providing a strong anchor. Finally, use a plate compactor to compact the entire paver surface. This will settle the pavers into the sand bed and achieve about 3/8 of an inch of compression, locking them tightly together. After compaction, sweep polymeric sand into the paver joints until they are completely filled, then compact the surface again. Repeat the sweeping and compacting process as needed, ensuring all joints are full before a final sweep-off. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dDN60f587oQ 183 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/installing-brick-pavers-start-to-finish-day2-v3275332/site-cleanup-and-equipment-transport-c3327041 2026-10-10T04:54:50.673Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dDN60f587oQ/hqdefault.jpg Site Cleanup and Equipment Transport — Installing Brick pavers -start to finish day2 After the pavers are fully installed, edged, and compacted, the project site cleanup begins.

The existing wall segments are seen scattered. The presenter emphasizes the careful removal of old materials and the importance of rebuilding properly due to a garage hovering above the area where the wall needs to be reconstructed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 32 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/demolition-and-trench-excavation-with-material-handling-c3326659 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Demolition and Trench Excavation with Material Handling — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes dow This crucial phase involves the systematic demolition of the existing, collapsed double-terraced retaining wall and the comprehensive excavation of a new trench. A Bobcat T325 mini excavator is deployed for precision digging and breaking down old wall sections, while a Cat skid steer efficiently moves and sorts the excavated material. Old retaining wall blocks are separated from the soil for disposal or potential reuse. The operator carefully avoids over-digging the trench to maintain soil integrity. In some instances, old blocks are cut using a concrete saw (Stihl TS 420) to facilitate their removal and disposal, ensuring efficient site clearance. Throughout this step, safety equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and work gloves are worn. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 120 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/drain-tile-installation-and-outlet-block-fabrication-c3326660 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Drain Tile Installation and Outlet Block Fabrication — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down p After the trench is excavated, a flexible drain tile, often referred to as drain pipe, is installed at the base. This specific drain tile is covered with a fabric sock to prevent it from clogging with sediment. To integrate the drain tile with the retaining wall, a specialized outlet block is prepared. This involves using a concrete saw (Stihl TS 420) to precisely cut an opening into the side of a modular retaining wall block, rather than the center. An additional slit is cut into the top surface of this block. This design allows the outlet block to interlock securely with the subsequent courses of the retaining wall, ensuring the drain tile's stability and proper function. The presenter notes that while drain tile isn't strictly needed for dry-stacked walls (as they are designed to "weep"), it's often included for conventional expectations. Safety equipment like safety glasses, hearing protection, and work gloves should be worn when using the concrete saw. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 94 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/subbase-preparation-and-compaction-c3326661 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Sub-Base Preparation and Compaction — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down pt2 This step focuses on establishing a robust and level foundation for the retaining wall. First, any reusable excavated topsoil is carefully separated and piled to the side. The bottom of the excavated trench is then meticulously leveled using a shovel, ensuring a consistent depth. A thin layer of 3/4 inch clear road gravel is spread across the trench floor. This gravel layer serves two purposes: providing initial stability and improving the traction for the compaction equipment. A NorthStar plate compactor is then used to thoroughly compact the gravel, ensuring maximum density and eliminating any potential for settling. For areas where the plate compactor cannot reach, such as tight corners or near the existing structure, a hand tamper is utilized for manual compaction, guaranteeing uniform solidity across the entire sub-base. Work gloves are used for hand protection. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 200 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/laying-the-first-course-of-retaining-wall-blocks-c3326662 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Laying the First Course of Retaining Wall Blocks — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down pt2 With the sub-base firmly compacted, the first course of modular retaining wall blocks is carefully laid. Each block is positioned side-by-side along the leveled trench. A spirit level is used frequently to ensure that each block is perfectly level both front-to-back and side-to-side. A rubber mallet is employed to gently tap and adjust the blocks into their final position, achieving a tight and even alignment. For building corners, specific blocks are precisely cut with a concrete saw (Stihl TS 420) to create a perfect right-angle fit. This meticulous attention to the first course is critical, as it dictates the stability and appearance of the entire wall. Safety equipment including work gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection should be used when cutting blocks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 119 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/backfilling-and-upper-wall-demolition-c3326663 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Backfilling and Upper Wall Demolition — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down pt2 This phase involves two concurrent activities: backfilling the new retaining wall with drain rock and continuing the demolition of the old upper retaining wall. After the first courses of the new wall are laid, 3/4 inch clear drain rock is introduced behind the blocks. A skid steer (Cat skid steer) is used to dump the rock, with a worker using a shovel to mark precise drop points. Other workers then use shovels and rakes to evenly spread and compact the drain rock into the backfill area, ensuring stable drainage. Simultaneously, the Bobcat T325 mini excavator is deployed to carefully remove the remaining sections of the previously existing upper retaining wall. This removal is critical for establishing the new grade and preparing the site for the final landscaping. The removed old wall materials are collected by the skid steer for disposal. The presenter emphasizes the use of 3/4 inch clear angular rock due to its superior interlocking properties compared to Class 5, which prevents movement and provides excellent drainage. Safety equipment like work gloves and safety glasses are used during this process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qAvcdbq0Hk4 181 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/double-terraced-retaining-wall-crashes-down-pt2-v3275345/material-explanation-and-project-wrapup-c3326664 2026-10-10T04:02:28.850Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qAvcdbq0Hk4/hqdefault.jpg Material Explanation and Project Wrap-up — Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down pt2 The presenter concludes the video by providing a detailed explanation of the benefits of using 3/4 inch clear angular rock for retaining wall backfill, contrasting it with Class 5 material. He demonstrates how the angular shape of the 3/4 inch clear rock (shown in his hand) allows the pieces to interlock tightly, preventing shifting and providing excellent stability and drainage with minimal compaction. This locking action makes the backfill incredibly secure. The video wraps up by looking forward to the next segment, which will involve completing the landscaping, installing the final capping stones on the retaining wall, and ultimately finishing the entire project.

Having previously worked in building demolition, he faced the high costs and logistical challenges of trucking off demolition waste (concrete, masonry, asphalt) and then buying and trucking in new aggregate. In 2004, he started researching mobile crushing to process material directly on-site into re-usable aggregate. He rented several mobile track crushers but found them not user-friendly or compact enough for site-to-site transport. Upon discovering Rubble Master, he purchased his first crusher in August 2004. By February 2005, he was so busy that he had to buy a second crusher. He recounts making 11,000 tons of re-gradable aggregate from a single hotel demolition, which he then sold back to the new construction project on the same site. This on-site processing significantly reduced costs and increased profitability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7GjWbrViWrY 123 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/they-make-4000-a-day-with-a-mobil-crusher-v3275357/cost-analysis-and-product-range-scalability-c3327596 2026-10-10T05:43:49.413Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7GjWbrViWrY/hqdefault.jpg Cost Analysis and Product Range Scalability — They Make $4,000 a day with a Mobil Crusher ?!?

He explains that polyurethane is a liquid material made of two parts (A and B). When mixed, these parts undergo a chemical reaction, generating heat and causing significant expansion. This expansion is the key mechanism for lifting concrete. A demonstration shows two liquids being mixed, which then rapidly expands into a dense foam within 10 to 15 seconds. This specific foam is described as a '2-pound foam' suitable for residential work, with a PSI (pounds per square inch) of 30, and it 'skins over' quickly, preventing material loss. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 96 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/drill-injection-holes-in-concrete-c3329140 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Drill Injection Holes in Concrete — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k video Begin the concrete lifting process by drilling a series of small, 5/8-inch holes into the concrete slab. These smaller holes are preferred over the larger 1 5/8-inch holes used in traditional slab jacking, as they are less intrusive and reduce the risk of cracking the concrete. The demonstration uses a Hilti brand rotary hammer drill for this task, emphasizing its efficiency in creating clean, precise holes through the concrete. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 40 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/prepare-for-foam-injection-c3329141 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Prepare for Foam Injection — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k video After drilling, insert a 'zert' (a specialized injection port) into each hole. The zert is designed with a check valve to prevent the polyurethane foam from flowing back into the injection gun, ensuring a clean and efficient process. Attach the HMI Elite 1 injection gun to the installed zert. This gun is equipped with an air purge system, which continuously drives air through the hole during and after injection to keep it clear and allow for further material injection without redrilling. This system enables the operator to inject small amounts of foam, wait for it to set, observe slab movement, and then re-inject if needed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 65 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/inject-polyurethane-foam-to-lift-concrete-c3329142 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Inject Polyurethane Foam to Lift Concrete — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k vi With the equipment set up, begin injecting small, controlled amounts of polyurethane foam under the concrete slab. The operator will monitor the slab for movement, using their fingers to feel subtle shifts before they are visible. This tactile feedback allows for precise control of the lift, preventing over-lifting or cracking. The foam expands beneath the slab, lifting it like a 'pillow' from underneath. The process involves injecting, waiting 10-15 seconds for the foam to set and observe the lift, and then repeating as needed until the desired elevation is achieved (e.g., an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch lift). Multiple injection points may be used across a larger slab to control the pitch and angle for proper drainage or to eliminate tripping hazards. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 40 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/patch-the-injection-holes-c3329143 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Patch the Injection Holes — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k video Once the concrete slab has been lifted to the desired level, complete the job by patching the small injection holes. First, remove the HMI Elite 1 injection gun from the zert, and then carefully pull the zert out of the hole. Mix a small amount of sand and cement to create a patching compound. Use this compound to fill the 5/8-inch holes, ensuring a smooth, flush finish with the surrounding concrete. This leaves a minimal and clean repair, addressing the problem without requiring slab replacement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 50 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/fill-voids-with-fillfoam-c3329144 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Fill Voids with FillFoam — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k video The presenter introduces 'FillFoam,' a resin-based foam designed specifically for void filling. Unlike polyurethane for lifting, FillFoam generates no heat during its chemical reaction, making it safe for sensitive environments. It is extremely flowable, capable of traveling long distances (e.g., a mile) to fill extensive voids in various structures such as mines, culverts, tunnels, abandoned tanks and wells, pipes, and sinkholes. A demonstration shows FillFoam being pumped through a hose into a clear container, rapidly filling it with white, expanding foam. This foam can be adjusted for density (10-55 PSI) directly on-site by calibrating the equipment, and it can be pumped at rates up to 60 cubic yards per hour. It is also fire-retardant. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoozbXBtB-c 115 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-they-raise-level-sunken-concrete-with-foam-4-k-video-v3275443/conclusion-and-training-information-c3329145 2026-10-10T04:54:18.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LoozbXBtB-c/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Training Information — How they raise & level Sunken Concrete with foam 4 k video The speaker concludes the demonstration by reiterating the benefits of polyurethane concrete lifting and FillFoam void filling: they are highly efficient, profitable for contractors, and cost-effective for property owners (often half the price of replacement).

Unlike general liability, an umbrella policy acts as an excess liability coverage, sitting 'over the top' of existing primary liability policies (like general liability or auto liability). It kicks in after the limits of the underlying policies are exhausted, providing additional layers of protection, typically in increments of $1 million or more. The need for an umbrella policy usually increases with the size and exposure of the company, particularly those with large fleets or operations with higher litigation risks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/o76__iAh-XU 112 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/ins-and-outs-of-small-business-insurance-for-noobs-4-k-video-v3275444/workers-compensation-mandatory-coverage-c3326356 2026-10-10T03:43:49.574Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o76__iAh-XU/hqdefault.jpg Workers' Compensation: Mandatory Coverage — In's and Out's of Small Business Insurance for NOOBS. 4 The agent discusses Workers' Compensation, a mandatory insurance for employers, noting its highly regulated nature. Rates for Workers' Comp vary significantly based on the industry and the specific job roles (class codes) within a company. For example, 'clerical' work has a much cheaper rate than a 'roofing contractor' due to differing risk levels. The key takeaway is that employers *must* have Workers' Comp coverage; failure to do so can result in severe fines and penalties, with regulatory bodies often making examples out of non-compliant small businesses. Even if an employee agrees not to be covered, the business is still liable if an injury occurs. It is one of the cardinal rules for business insurance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/o76__iAh-XU 164 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/ins-and-outs-of-small-business-insurance-for-noobs-4-k-video-v3275444/common-mistakes-and-best-practices-for-shopping-insurance-c3326357 2026-10-10T03:43:49.574Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o76__iAh-XU/hqdefault.jpg Common Mistakes and Best Practices for Shopping Insurance — In's and Out's of Small Business Insuran The host asks about common mistakes business owners make when buying insurance.

He advises against being 'comfortably complacent' and encourages business owners to periodically review their coverage with different carriers every few years. This strategy ensures they are getting competitive rates and comprehensive coverage, as the insurance industry operates like a 'small town' where loyalty, while appreciated, can lead to stagnant rates and less effort from carriers if they perceive the client will not shop around. https://www.youtube.com/embed/o76__iAh-XU 295 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/ins-and-outs-of-small-business-insurance-for-noobs-4-k-video-v3275444/conclusion-and-contact-information-c3326358 2026-10-10T03:43:49.574Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o76__iAh-XU/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Contact Information — In's and Out's of Small Business Insurance for NOOBS. 4 k video The video concludes with a recap and an invitation for viewers to reach out to the insurance agent for personalized advice.

Why they FAIL and how to After removing the pavers, excavate any old sand and loose base material from the exposed area. Fill the excavated area with fresh Class 5 aggregate (a type of granular fill that compacts well). Ensure the Class 5 aggregate is added to a depth that, once compacted, will leave approximately 1 inch below the desired finished paver height. Use a vibratory plate compactor (also known as a 'wacker plate') to thoroughly compact the Class 5 aggregate. Multiple passes in different directions are recommended for optimal compaction. Use a level to periodically check the grade and ensure the base is consistent and properly sloped for drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5EmY5B5Q0FE 95 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-paver-patio-why-they-fail-and-how-to-do-a-diy-v3275445/level-sand-bed-large-area-c3331422 2026-10-10T04:40:37.519Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5EmY5B5Q0FE/hqdefault.jpg Level Sand Bed (Large Area) — How NOT to build a paver patio.

These pipes will serve as guides for leveling the sand bed. Spread a layer of sand over the compacted Class 5 aggregate. Using a straight, notched 2x4 board (screed board), drag it along the top of the screed pipes. The notch in the board, typically cut to account for the paver thickness and desired sand bed depth (1/2 to 3/4 inch), ensures a perfectly uniform and level sand layer.

Why they FAIL and ho For smaller, localized sunken areas, particularly those bordering retaining walls or steps, the repair method differs due to the inability to use heavy machinery. Begin by carefully removing the pavers from the affected area. If a void is present, such as from an uncompacted pipe installation or animal burrowing, fill it with Class 5 aggregate. Using a hand tamper (or a sledgehammer with a sturdy wooden board), manually compact the base material. The narrator notes that mechanized compaction is not suitable here as it can 'blow out' the retaining wall. After the base is compacted, spread a thin layer of sand. Use a small trowel or a piece of wood to carefully level the sand bed to the desired height, creating a flat surface for the pavers.

A 'fufu' truck is characterized by luxury features like leather seats, heated/cooled seats, and large infotainment screens, designed for comfort and personal use, often with a shorter bed and lower towing capacity. A true work truck, in contrast, prioritizes utility, capability, and durability for demanding tasks. He uses a black Ram truck with an 8-foot bed and a fifth-wheel package as an example of a truck designed for serious towing, not just comfort. https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_cku0HVRGc 123 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/whats-better-for-a-work-truck-gas-or-diesel-4k-v3275569/specific-truck-configurations-for-different-jobs-c3331510 2026-10-10T04:24:01.134Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i_cku0HVRGc/hqdefault.jpg Specific Truck Configurations for Different Jobs — Whats Better for a work truck -Gas or Diesel ?? The segment details how to properly spec a truck for various work scenarios, focusing on gear ratios, engine type (gas vs. diesel), and regulatory compliance (CDL requirements). For general landscaping or contracting within a city (stop-and-go driving, hauling Bobcat-sized equipment on an 18-foot trailer), a gas engine with a 4.10 rear gear and a 6.4L Hemi in a 3/4-ton truck is recommended for its balance of power and lower maintenance costs. However, for heavier loads like a 32-foot tri-axle gooseneck trailer carrying a skid loader and mini dozer (up to 22,000 lbs), a 1-ton dually diesel with an Aisin transmission and a 4.10 or 4.88 rear gear is necessary. Exceeding 26,000 lbs combined vehicle weight requires a Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL), and exceeding 10,000 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) (not empty weight) triggers Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations requiring safety equipment like a fire extinguisher and safety triangles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_cku0HVRGc 335 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/whats-better-for-a-work-truck-gas-or-diesel-4k-v3275569/final-advice-costbenefit-and-expert-consultation-c3331511 2026-10-10T04:24:01.134Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i_cku0HVRGc/hqdefault.jpg Final Advice: Cost-Benefit and Expert Consultation — Whats Better for a work truck -Gas or Diesel ?? The final step summarizes the cost implications of choosing between gas and diesel. While diesel engines have a higher initial cost (around $10,000 more), they often offer better fuel economy for certain heavy-duty applications. However, if a gas engine can adequately perform the required tasks (e.g., snow plowing a small area, light towing), the initial savings plus lower fuel costs (diesel is often $0.50/gallon more) can make it a more economical choice. The expert emphasizes that the goal is to prevent common failures and make informed decisions, stressing the importance of consulting with a knowledgeable commercial sales manager or fleet specialist at the dealership. https://www.youtube.com/embed/i_cku0HVRGc 491 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/amazing-new-tools-gear-gadgets-coming-in-2020-including-never-seen-v3275570 2026-10-10T06:46:51.184Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PBp4JHcMejQ/hqdefault.jpg Amazing New tools, Gear & Gadgets coming in 2020!

The IRS uses a detailed set of criteria (often referred to as the '21-factor test') to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. If even one criterion is missed, the IRS can reclassify the worker as an employee, leading to significant back taxes, penalties, and interest for the business. True subcontractors operate independently, set their own hours, use their own tools, set their own rates, and often work for multiple clients, invoicing for their services. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bNsFoGAqpT4 180 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/irs-audit-triggers-pre-season-tax-planning-and-strategies-for-small-v3275571/general-tax-planning-and-financial-review-c3329177 2026-10-10T00:14:55.252Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bNsFoGAqpT4/hqdefault.jpg General Tax Planning and Financial Review — IRS audit Triggers, pre season tax planning and strategi The accountant advises that if financial records show disproportionately high expenses compared to income, it could trigger an IRS audit.

The current project began as a simple landscaping task to alter ground grades for improved water runoff. However, upon finding the compromised foundation, the homeowners received conflicting advice. One recommendation was to jack up the house and replace the foundation, while another suggested a simpler patch and backfill. The latter, less invasive, approach was chosen. https://www.youtube.com/embed/heQovpZfE-E 42 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-22-4-k-video-v3275584/excavate-and-remove-tree-stump-c3330481 2026-10-10T00:14:58.616Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/heQovpZfE-E/hqdefault.jpg Excavate and Remove Tree Stump — FAILING house foundation 2/2 . 4 k video Begin by removing existing landscape features that impede grading or are too close to the foundation. This step focuses on the challenging task of removing a large tree stump with extensive root systems. A mini excavator, specifically a Bobcat E325, is used to dig around and under the stump, exposing its taproots. A skid steer loader, an ASV RT-75 equipped with forks, is then used to lever and pull the heavy stump out of the ground. The roots are cut or broken as needed during this process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/heQovpZfE-E 194 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-22-4-k-video-v3275584/waterproof-foundation-and-install-drainage-c3330482 2026-10-10T00:14:58.616Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/heQovpZfE-E/hqdefault.jpg Waterproof Foundation and Install Drainage — FAILING house foundation 2/2 . 4 k video With the tree stump removed, the focus shifts to the foundation. The previously cracked foundation has been waterproofed and patched (as mentioned in the introduction, this was a patch job rather than a full replacement). Yellow insulation panels are installed on the foundation wall for additional protection. A drainage trench is dug, and a black corrugated drainage pipe is laid along the foundation to collect and divert water. The ground is then graded to create a gentle slope, forming a swale that guides water away from the house and towards a pond in the distance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/heQovpZfE-E 33 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-22-4-k-video-v3275584/import-and-manually-compact-fill-soil-c3330483 2026-10-10T00:14:58.616Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/heQovpZfE-E/hqdefault.jpg Import and Manually Compact Fill Soil — FAILING house foundation 2/2 . 4 k video After the drainage is installed, new fill soil is imported to achieve the desired grading. A large dump truck delivers a load of gravel to the site. A Bobcat T180 skid steer loader with a bucket attachment is used to transport and distribute the gravel into the excavated areas around the foundation. Due to the repaired yet still vulnerable foundation, manual compaction is preferred over heavy machinery. Workers use hand tampers to compact the gravel in layers, ensuring stability without risking further damage to the foundation. This process also involves removing any remaining wet, unsuitable soil from the site and replacing it with dry, compactable material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/heQovpZfE-E 183 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-22-4-k-video-v3275584/construct-retaining-walls-and-refine-grading-c3330484 2026-10-10T00:14:58.616Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/heQovpZfE-E/hqdefault.jpg Construct Retaining Walls and Refine Grading — FAILING house foundation 2/2 . 4 k video The next phase involves constructing retaining walls along the foundation and around the newly graded areas. Large boulders are brought to the site, often from a personal stock, and carefully positioned using the mini excavator (Bobcat E325). Workers manually adjust and fit the stones to create stable walls. Emphasis is placed on meticulous placement to avoid exerting pressure on the already repaired foundation. The retaining walls define the new landscape contours and help manage water flow.

A Bobcat T180 skid steer is also visible, indicating the scale of the earthwork. The initial understanding was that the project would involve regrading the area around the house to prevent water from entering the basement, particularly where homeowners were experiencing issues beneath a recently built four-season porch. The plan was to remove existing landscaping and adjust the ground slope to direct water away from the foundation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVEWGWkifeM 74 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-12-4-k-video-v3275585/excavating-along-the-foundation-c3326227 2026-10-10T03:39:00.050Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eVEWGWkifeM/hqdefault.jpg Excavating Along the Foundation — FAILING house foundation 1/2 4 k video Using the Bobcat 325 mini-excavator, a trench is dug along the foundation wall, specifically in the area underneath the four-season porch where water was reportedly entering the basement. The operator carefully removes existing landscaping, rocks, and soil, creating a narrow but deep excavation. This process requires precise control of the excavator to avoid damaging the house's siding, windows, and the newly installed porch structure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVEWGWkifeM 242 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-12-4-k-video-v3275585/discovering-foundation-damage-and-water-source-c3326228 2026-10-10T03:39:00.050Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eVEWGWkifeM/hqdefault.jpg Discovering Foundation Damage and Water Source — FAILING house foundation 1/2 4 k video As the excavation deepens, the true extent of the problem becomes clear. The video shows significant cracks in the concrete block foundation wall in multiple locations. More critically, water is observed actively bubbling up and pouring out from underneath the lowest part of the foundation, indicating a substantial water intrusion issue originating from below ground. The excavated soil is extremely muddy and saturated, revealing that the water is not just surface runoff. The narrator discusses how this contradicts an earlier explanation given to the homeowners (that the issues were due to 'too much backfill' during construction) and suggests the presence of either 'perched water' (trapped groundwater) or, more likely, a natural spring beneath the house. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVEWGWkifeM 169 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-12-4-k-video-v3275585/continued-excavation-and-drainage-system-planning-c3326229 2026-10-10T03:39:00.050Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eVEWGWkifeM/hqdefault.jpg Continued Excavation and Drainage System Planning — FAILING house foundation 1/2 4 k video With the significant foundation damage and persistent water identified, the excavation continues to expose more of the foundation wall to fully understand the extent of the problem. The narrator explains that the initial homeowners' explanation of 'too much backfill' causing the foundation to push in is not convincing based on the nature of the cracks (not broken individual blocks) and the consistent water flow from underneath. He outlines two primary options for repair: his preferred method of jacking up the entire house, removing and rebuilding the damaged foundation wall, or the homeowners' chosen option of patching the cracks and waterproofing the existing wall. This decision highlights a difference in opinion on the best long-term solution. Simultaneously, work begins on another section of the house, focusing on an existing boulder wall that was incorrectly directing surface water towards the foundation. The plan is to extend and rebuild this boulder wall further away from the house, creating a wider area for proper drainage. Landscaping (trees and bushes) in this area are also being removed to facilitate better grading and water flow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVEWGWkifeM 451 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/failing-house-foundation-12-4-k-video-v3275585/installing-drainage-and-final-backfillgrading-c3326230 2026-10-10T03:39:00.050Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eVEWGWkifeM/hqdefault.jpg Installing Drainage and Final Backfill/Grading — FAILING house foundation 1/2 4 k video With the excavation complete and drainage elements in place (perforated pipe and landscaping fabric), the next phase involves backfilling the trench with gravel and soil, followed by grading the area to ensure proper water diversion. This step is largely anticipated, as the video ends with the preparation for these actions. The final grading around the foundation aims to create a slope that directs water away from the house, preventing future accumulation and potential intrusion. The existing trees and bushes have been removed to facilitate this improved grading. The team is observed laying down landscaping fabric and positioning the flexible drainage pipes. Gravel will then be added over the pipes, and the remaining soil will be used to restore the grade. The contractor expresses his concerns about the homeowner's chosen 'patch and waterproof' method versus a complete structural repair, inviting viewers to share their opinions on the best course of action. https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVEWGWkifeM 43 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-best-power-tools-gear-equipment-from-gie-2019-part-2-4k-video-v3275586 2026-10-10T04:03:30.554Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gKVcvxs8GzU/hqdefault.jpg The best Power tools, Gear & equipment From GIE 2019 part 2 4k video This video showcases various innovative tools and equipment presented at the Green Industry Expo 2019 (GIE+EXPO), highlighting new products and technologies in the landscaping and construction sectors.

He explains that buying a machine should be a strategic decision, noting that equipment can represent 33% of annual profit. He challenges the audience to consider how they manage their finances to avoid giving a large portion of their earnings to taxes. He shares his personal strategy of buying new equipment at the end of the year if necessary to offset tax liabilities, emphasizing that he continuously seeks ways to reinvest in his business rather than pay more taxes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 30 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/the-importance-of-a-strategic-accountant-c3326379 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg The Importance of a Strategic Accountant — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money part 4 4 Genadek elaborates on the importance of having a skilled and engaged accountant. He stresses that an accountant should be more than just a tax preparer; they should be a proactive partner who understands the business intimately. This partner should call you with 'red flags and warnings' before financial issues arise, helping you navigate complex tax situations and optimize financial decisions. He advises against using generic tax services like H&R Block unless they are deeply familiar with your specific business and its needs, treating them as a true partner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 20 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/comparing-renting-leasing-and-buying-equipment-c3326380 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Renting, Leasing, and Buying Equipment — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money pa He explains that renting equipment is 100% tax-deductible but comes with a higher rate. Leasing is also 100% tax-deductible but involves a longer-term commitment. This means that if you lease a machine for six months but only use it for five, you still pay for the full six months. He then details that buying equipment, while potentially offering immediate tax benefits if done strategically, requires careful timing. The speaker emphasizes that these decisions should be made based on your year-end tax situation, encouraging the audience to consult with their accountant to understand the best option for their specific financial year. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 103 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/the-role-of-a-proactive-banker-c3326381 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg The Role of a Proactive Banker — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money part 4 4 k video Genadek further stresses the importance of an engaged banker, describing them as another critical partner. He suggests that if your banker isn't actively seeking to connect with you or inform you about new financing options, you might be with the wrong bank. A good banker should be proactive in helping you manage your finances, including anticipating end-of-year needs like equipment purchases to line up financing. This proactive approach helps businesses avoid last-minute scramble and make informed financial decisions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 80 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/proactive-tax-planning-and-yearend-strategy-c3326382 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg Proactive Tax Planning and Year-End Strategy — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money part 4 Genadek emphasizes the value of early and comprehensive tax planning, ideally in October, to understand your financial position before the year ends. He cites an example of a $5 million underground utility company owner who, due to poor planning, bought a payloader in January and tried to backdate the tax exemption, which was too late. He urges the audience to have a clear projection of their year-end financial outlook to know exactly how much money will be allocated to taxes versus available for reinvestment.

He explains that his purchases are timed to coincide with a good year or when there's an incentive from manufacturers, often around November or December for the previous year's models, which allows for better deals and tax deductions. He explicitly states that he will 'find a reason' to buy new equipment rather than 'give that money to Uncle Sam'. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 103 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/leveraging-endofyear-incentives-for-equipment-c3326384 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg Leveraging End-of-Year Incentives for Equipment — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money par Another audience member shares a 'nugget' about purchasing trucks in November/December to take advantage of previous year models and manufacturer incentives, securing a better deal and an immediate tax deduction.

He challenges his audience to dedicate 20 minutes a day to simply talking to customers, not necessarily about the job, but about anything. This approach builds rapport and makes customers like you, fostering loyalty even if minor issues arise. He illustrates this with a story of a long-term employee, Tim, who was so well-liked by a challenging client that the client cried when Tim left, highlighting the power of strong interpersonal relationships. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/managing-commercial-vs-residential-payment-schedules-c3326388 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg Managing Commercial vs. Residential Payment Schedules — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your mon Genadek discusses payment schedules for commercial versus residential work. For residential projects, he advises getting 50% upfront when equipment arrives and the balance due before equipment leaves the site. Commercial work, however, operates differently; payment is not immediate. An invoice submitted on June 5th for work completed on June 1st might not be processed until June 30th, with payment then potentially taking an additional 60-90 days. He warns that this delayed payment schedule can lead to financial strain, making it crucial for commercial contractors to meticulously balance payment inflows and outflows. He points out that contractors must be prepared to float the costs for up to several months, making proper cash flow management essential. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiDO6NWFS58 140 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speechyour-mouth-makes-you-your-money-part-4-4-k-video-v3275591/conclusion-and-final-encouragement-c3326389 2026-10-10T00:15:00.344Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XiDO6NWFS58/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Final Encouragement — Keynote Speech-Your mouth makes you your money part 4 4 k vid Genadek introduces another 'nugget' from an audience member about building relationships with builders through boulder wall projects.

Overhead consists of indirect costs—bills you must pay regardless of whether you have a project. This includes things like insurance, workshop rent, tools, advertising, or legal fees. Not knowing your overhead is a 'business killer.' You must calculate your annual overhead and then allocate a portion of it to each project. A simple formula is: (Total Annual Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) / Number of Working Days = Daily Overhead. Then, allocate this daily overhead to each project based on its estimated duration. https://www.youtube.com/embed/clAPDFlZV9k 243 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speech-your-mouth-makes-you-your-money-3-4-k-video-v3275592/differentiate-direct-costs-from-overhead-c3333970 2026-10-10T00:15:00.540Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/clAPDFlZV9k/hqdefault.jpg Differentiate Direct Costs from Overhead — Keynote Speech- Your mouth makes you Your Money #3 4 k Phil clarifies the distinction between 'Cost of Goods Sold' (direct costs) and 'Overhead Expenses' (indirect costs). Direct costs are expenses directly tied to a specific project, such as materials and labor. Indirect costs are ongoing expenses regardless of whether a project is undertaken (e.g., insurance, rent, advertising, computer expenses, attorney fees). The formula for net profit is: Total Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Overhead Expenses = Net Profit. Ideally, overhead should be around 25% of your business's revenue. If it's higher, look for ways to lower it. If it's lower, consider investing more in marketing or improving your operations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/clAPDFlZV9k 70 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/keynote-speech-your-mouth-makes-you-your-money-3-4-k-video-v3275592/consider-equipment-leasing-c3333971 2026-10-10T00:15:00.540Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/clAPDFlZV9k/hqdefault.jpg Consider Equipment Leasing — Keynote Speech- Your mouth makes you Your Money #3 4 k video Explore strategies like leasing equipment instead of purchasing, especially for expensive items.

Beginner mistakes & Ron emphasizes that what lies beneath the concrete significantly impacts its long-term performance. He instructs to always remove all organic materials, including topsoil and vegetation, from the excavated area. For a residential light traffic load like a sidewalk, about 4 inches of Class 5 base material over raw, non-organic soil is recommended. For heavier traffic loads such as a driveway, the base material depth should be increased to 6, 8, or even 12 inches, especially for areas with heavy vehicle traffic like semi-trucks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1iO08e4Rgw 24 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-pour-a-concrete-slab-sidewalk-or-driveway-beginner-v3275597/concrete-reinforcement-c3329641 2026-10-10T06:13:26.040Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I1iO08e4Rgw/hqdefault.jpg Concrete Reinforcement — How NOT to pour a concrete slab, sidewalk or driveway. Beginner mistakes & Ron explains that for the apron, a 6x6 10/10 gauge wire mesh is being used for reinforcement. For concrete steps, rebar is typically used. He notes that for wider sections of the apron, rebar might also be incorporated depending on the expected load and width of the slab. When placing reinforcement, it's crucial to lift the wire mesh or rebar so that it's embedded in the middle third of the concrete slab, roughly 2-3 inches from the bottom, to provide optimal structural integrity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1iO08e4Rgw 20 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-pour-a-concrete-slab-sidewalk-or-driveway-beginner-v3275597/forms-and-release-agents-c3329642 2026-10-10T06:13:26.040Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I1iO08e4Rgw/hqdefault.jpg Forms and Release Agents — How NOT to pour a concrete slab, sidewalk or driveway. Beginner mistakes Ron discusses the use of forms and release agents. For thinner slabs like sidewalks (4 inches), forms often don't require a release agent as the concrete tends to break away easily once cured. However, for steps, where a smooth finish on the vertical face is desired and forms need to be stripped, a release agent is necessary. Options include specialized 'bubble gum release' or even Pam cooking spray. Diesel fuel can also be used, but it's generally not recommended due to environmental concerns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1iO08e4Rgw 18 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-pour-a-concrete-slab-sidewalk-or-driveway-beginner-v3275597/concrete-slump-and-pouring-sequence-c3329643 2026-10-10T06:13:26.040Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I1iO08e4Rgw/hqdefault.jpg Concrete Slump and Pouring Sequence — How NOT to pour a concrete slab, sidewalk or driveway. Beginne The consistency of the concrete (slump) is important. A typical 4-5 slump is used for sidewalks, while a slightly stiffer 3-4 slump is preferred for steps. If both steps and an apron are being poured on the same day, Ron advises pouring the steps first. This is because the stiffer concrete needed for steps might become too hard if left in the truck, whereas excess water can be added to the remaining concrete for the apron if necessary to achieve a higher slump. However, adding water to the concrete mix after it has left the plant is generally not recommended as it reduces the concrete's strength. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1iO08e4Rgw 9 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-pour-a-concrete-slab-sidewalk-or-driveway-beginner-v3275597/caution-with-heavy-equipment-c3329644 2026-10-10T06:13:26.040Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I1iO08e4Rgw/hqdefault.jpg Caution with Heavy Equipment — How NOT to pour a concrete slab, sidewalk or driveway.

RED FLAGS & how Ch This step delves into the critical Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations related to dump trailer ownership and operation. The discussion focuses on two significant Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) thresholds: 10,001 lbs and 26,001 lbs. Exceeding the 10,001 lbs limit necessitates a DOT number on the truck and a health certificate for the driver. Surpassing 26,001 lbs triggers much stricter requirements, including a Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL), drug screening, pre-employment screening, and fuel taxes, fundamentally changing the operational class for the owner. Non-compliance can lead to substantial fines and roadside shutdowns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQhZXMOz5Q0 18 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-buy-a-dump-trailer-red-flags-how-cheap-trailers-cut-v3275603/comparing-hoist-systems-dual-ram-scissor-and-telescopic-c3333225 2026-10-10T05:56:26.815Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UQhZXMOz5Q0/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Hoist Systems: Dual Ram, Scissor, and Telescopic — How NOT to Buy a Dump trailer! RED FLAG This step delves into a comparative analysis of three common hoist systems used in dump trailers: dual ram, scissor, and telescopic hoists. The dual ram system, often found in more economical models, is noted for pushing the rear of the trailer bed, which means approximately 50% of the payload resists the lift, putting additional stress on the frame and requiring even weight distribution. The scissor hoist offers a more practical solution by pushing the front 40% of the trailer, providing better leverage for dumping, and is generally more economical than telescopic systems. The telescopic hoist is presented as the most efficient option, with a single, beefier cylinder positioned upfront. This design means all of the lifting force is directly applied to dumping the load, with minimal resistance, making it ideal for heavy, uneven loads. Additionally, the front-mounted nature of the telescopic hoist simplifies maintenance access. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQhZXMOz5Q0 214 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-buy-a-dump-trailer-red-flags-how-cheap-trailers-cut-v3275603/evaluating-trailer-frame-construction-tubing-vs-ibeam-c3333226 2026-10-10T05:56:26.815Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UQhZXMOz5Q0/hqdefault.jpg Evaluating Trailer Frame Construction: Tubing vs. I-Beam — How NOT to Buy a Dump trailer! RED FLAGS This segment highlights the critical importance of evaluating the trailer's frame construction, specifically comparing the use of box tubing versus I-beam structures. Box tubing, with its four enclosed sides, is described as being torsionally more rigid and providing superior support compared to an I-beam, especially when considering equivalent sizes. However, it's emphasized that not all I-beams or tubing are created equal; wall thickness and the weight per foot of the material are crucial indicators of strength and durability. The goal is to find a smart design that offers sufficient strength without excessive weight, as heavier frames reduce the trailer's usable payload capacity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQhZXMOz5Q0 56 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-buy-a-dump-trailer-red-flags-how-cheap-trailers-cut-v3275603/examining-standard-features-onboard-charging-and-tool-storage-c3333227 2026-10-10T05:56:26.815Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UQhZXMOz5Q0/hqdefault.jpg Examining Standard Features: Onboard Charging and Tool Storage — How NOT to Buy a Dump trailer!

He clarifies that the shown laser is a rotary laser, which spins to create a continuous level plane, as opposed to line lasers used for interior work. He explains that modern laser levels often self-level to a certain extent. If a laser level does not self-level, older models or transits (which use an eyepiece) require manual leveling. The presence of a bubble indicator on some older models helps with manual leveling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YfG8DVMd_vM 135 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/teaching-a-noob-how-to-read-grade-run-a-laser-change-elevations-on-a-v3275610/reading-the-grade-rod-and-receiver-c3326820 2026-10-10T05:19:43.065Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YfG8DVMd_vM/hqdefault.jpg Reading the Grade Rod and Receiver — Teaching a NOOB how to read grade, Run a laser & change elevati The presenter demonstrates how to read the grade rod, explaining a crucial counter-intuitive concept: when going down in grade (lower elevation), the numbers on the rod increase, and vice versa. He turns on the DeWalt laser receiver and shows its settings for volume adjustment and fine-tuning. He explains that the receiver displays a larger receiving area for quicker readings. The receiver guides the user with arrows to move the rod up or down until the laser beam is centered, indicated by a solid line on the display and an audible signal (a solid beep). The presenter emphasizes the importance of holding the rod perfectly straight to ensure accurate readings, as even a slight tilt can lead to errors of a quarter to half an inch. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YfG8DVMd_vM 290 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/teaching-a-noob-how-to-read-grade-run-a-laser-change-elevations-on-a-v3275610/laser-positioning-on-the-job-site-c3326822 2026-10-10T05:19:43.065Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YfG8DVMd_vM/hqdefault.jpg Laser Positioning on the Job Site — Teaching a NOOB how to read grade, Run a laser & change elevatio The presenter explains the importance of strategically positioning the laser level on a job site. The ideal placement allows the laser to capture all necessary grades from various directions without needing to move it. Moving the laser level necessitates recalibrating all measurements, which can be time-consuming and lead to errors. For this specific project, the smart move would be to place the laser level in a location that captures the entire area to be graded, including the garage and the other small building, ensuring proper water flow away from both structures. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YfG8DVMd_vM 162 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/teaching-a-noob-how-to-read-grade-run-a-laser-change-elevations-on-a-v3275610/establish-a-benchmark-c3326823 2026-10-10T05:19:43.065Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YfG8DVMd_vM/hqdefault.jpg Establish a Benchmark — Teaching a NOOB how to read grade, Run a laser & change elevations on a jobs The next step is to establish a benchmark, which is a fixed reference point for all future measurements. For this project, the concrete pad at the garage entrance is chosen as the benchmark because it's a stable, unmoving surface. The presenter emphasizes recording the benchmark reading (6 feet, 2 and three-quarters inches). This number serves as the baseline for calculating all other elevations on the site. He also mentions the general rule of thumb for drainage: aim for a 1-inch drop per 8 feet of run to ensure effective water runoff. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YfG8DVMd_vM 106 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/teaching-a-noob-how-to-read-grade-run-a-laser-change-elevations-on-a-v3275610/calculating-elevation-difference-and-planning-c3326824 2026-10-10T05:19:43.065Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YfG8DVMd_vM/hqdefault.jpg Calculating Elevation Difference and Planning — Teaching a NOOB how to read grade, Run a laser & cha After establishing the benchmark, the presenter demonstrates taking a reading further away from the benchmark to calculate the difference in elevation. He lays the 16-foot grade rod on the ground and explains that for proper drainage (1 inch drop per 8 feet), being 16 feet away means the target elevation should be 2 inches lower than the benchmark. By reading the grade rod at this new point and comparing it to the benchmark, they can determine if they need to cut or add material.

C The video features a detailed discussion between the creator and a Cub Cadet representative (Aaron) comparing stand-on and sit-down mowers. Key advantages of stand-on mowers highlighted include: increased productivity in small or tight residential/commercial areas due to better maneuverability around landscaping, easier dismounting to clear debris or trash, improved operator posture (knees absorb shock, better for back health), enhanced visibility, and improved safety on steep slopes due to the ability to quickly dismount. The industry trend shows a rapid increase in stand-on mower sales. Sit-down mowers, conversely, are noted for faster ground speeds, ideal for large, open complexes or municipal roading, and offering a sitting option for operators with bad knees or hips. The Cub Cadet 'S' unit technology is mentioned for improving hillside stability in some sit-down models. The Cub Cadet Pro X 600 also boasts a 3-year stem-to-stern, no-hour-limit warranty. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2bRABq5yXY8 423 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/he-grew-cmp-attachments-from-480000-to-4-million-in-6-years-4-k-vid-v3275614 2026-10-10T07:28:09.758Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m08b40hoBeI/hqdefault.jpg He Grew CMP attachments from $480,000 to 4 million in 6 years. 4 k vid This video presents an insightful interview with Derek, the founder of CMP Attachments, detailing his journey from a diesel mechanic to a successful entrepreneur.

Even if tires appear to be the same size on the sidewall, their actual circumference can vary significantly, especially after wear or if they are from different manufacturers. A difference in tire circumference can cause the machine to pull to one side, leading to tracking issues and excessive wear on the hydrostatic drive system. If a tire needs replacement, it's recommended to replace both rear tires simultaneously to ensure matched circumferences. If only one tire is replaced, or if the existing tires have different circumferences, you can attempt to stretch the smaller tire by over-inflating it (beyond the manufacturer's recommended PSI, cautiously) and allowing it to sit in the sun before deflating to match the larger tire's circumference. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_uDv-5cUNCw 87 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-the-pros-level-a-mower-deck-fix-steering-problems-set-rake-for-v3275619/prepare-mower-on-level-surface-relieve-deck-weight-c3328888 2026-10-10T05:11:47.551Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_uDv-5cUNCw/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Mower on Level Surface & Relieve Deck Weight — How the Pro's Level a mower deck, Fix steerin Park the mower on the most level concrete slab available. Many shop floors are not perfectly flat, so choose the best possible surface. Once parked, engage the parking brake. Then, using a floor jack (or by hand, as demonstrated), lift the front of the mower slightly to relieve the weight from the caster forks. Place wooden blocks (e.g., 2x4s) or similar sturdy supports directly under the deck to hold it in a slightly elevated position, ensuring that the deck itself is no longer resting its full weight on the ground or the caster wheels.

The goal is to ensure consistent height across all blades. Since the blades are offset, you'll need to rotate them to access the cutting edge beneath the deck. For measuring the deck's 'rake' (pitch), use the same gauge block to measure the blade height at the front-center and then at the rear-center of the deck. The front center blade should typically be between 1/8 to 1/2 inch lower than the rear blades, depending on grass type and desired cut. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_uDv-5cUNCw 28 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-the-pros-level-a-mower-deck-fix-steering-problems-set-rake-for-v3275619/adjust-hydrostatic-tracking-system-c3328891 2026-10-10T05:11:47.551Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_uDv-5cUNCw/hqdefault.jpg Adjust Hydrostatic Tracking System — How the Pro's Level a mower deck, Fix steering problems & set R If the mower exhibits tracking issues (pulling to one side while driving straight), the hydrostatic drive system may need adjustment. Zero-turn mowers have a certain amount of 'free travel' or neutral range in their control arms. This can be adjusted to compensate for minor tracking deviations. Locate the adjustment points for the control arms (often plates with bolts) and loosen them. Shift the control plate forward or backward slightly to increase or decrease the travel in one direction, thereby 'cheating' the system to correct the tracking.

Observe for common issues: if the mower is scalping the ground, it's cutting too low. If the cut appears like 'stair-stepping' (uneven horizontal lines), the deck is not level side-to-side. If there are 'mohawks' or strips of missed grass, it likely indicates a bent blade, a bent deck, or a bent spindle. These issues require physical inspection and repair of the affected components. Remember that each mower is slightly different, and sometimes subtle adjustments to tire pressure (e.g., lowering rear tire pressure to about 8-10 PSI to flatten the deck for certain conditions) can help optimize cut quality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_uDv-5cUNCw 30 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/can-we-mow-a-plowed-field-with-a-zero-turn-mower-it-doesnt-get-worse-v3275620 2026-10-10T00:15:08.228Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eQ26xhhe5zA/hqdefault.jpg Can we Mow a PLOWED FIELD with a Zero Turn Mower?

Basic to adv Begin by understanding the foundational strategy for advanced lawn striping. This typically involves rotating different mowing patterns over a multi-week cycle (e.g., diagonal in Week 1, perpendicular diagonals in Week 2, and a zigzag or diamond pattern in Week 3). This method deepens stripe visibility, prevents soil compaction, and promotes healthier turf. Also, consider the primary viewpoint from which the lawn will be admired (e.g., from a balcony or the street) to orient your patterns for maximum visual impact. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 175 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/prepare-lawn-and-establish-turning-lanes-c3329663 2026-10-10T00:15:09.064Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IzS3zF4mucE/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Lawn and Establish Turning Lanes — How to stripe a lawn-Like a BOSS! Basic to advanced tech Before initiating any intricate patterns in the main lawn area, use a stand-on mower to mow the perimeter of the entire property. This creates a clean, uniform border around the lawn and establishes dedicated turning lanes. These lanes are crucial for maneuvering the mower at the end of each pass without driving over and disrupting the central patterned area. The operator should exclusively use these outer strips for turning. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 32 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-zigzag-pattern-c3329664 2026-10-10T00:15:09.064Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IzS3zF4mucE/hqdefault.jpg Create the Zigzag Pattern — How to stripe a lawn-Like a BOSS! Basic to advanced techniques 4K VIDEO To create a zigzag pattern, begin by mowing parallel diagonal stripes across the lawn. Select a diagonal starting point and mow a straight line to the opposite side of the lawn. Upon reaching the end of the pass, use the pre-mowed perimeter turning lane (from Step 2) to turn the mower around, then proceed to mow another parallel diagonal line, slightly overlapping the previous pass by approximately 4 inches. This overlap is crucial to ensure no uncut grass is left behind and to enhance the stripe definition. Repeat this process until the entire area is covered with consistent diagonal stripes. The combination of these parallel diagonal passes, especially when reinforced over multiple mowing sessions (as part of a multi-week schedule), creates the distinct zigzag visual effect. The video demonstrates this process, condensing multiple weeks into a single session. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 390 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-crosshatch-pattern-c3329665 2026-10-10T00:15:09.064Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IzS3zF4mucE/hqdefault.jpg Create the Cross-Hatch Pattern — How to stripe a lawn-Like a BOSS! Basic to advanced techniques 4K To achieve a cross-hatch pattern, mow a second set of diagonal stripes across the same lawn area, but this time at a 90-degree angle (perpendicular) to the initial zigzag pattern laid down in Step 3. Continue mowing parallel lines in this new diagonal direction, utilizing the established turning lanes. The intersection of these two sets of perpendicular diagonal stripes will create a pronounced grid-like or cross-hatch appearance. For optimal definition, allow the grass to slightly recover between mowing sessions if following a multi-week schedule. In the video's demonstration, this pattern is created by directly mowing over the previous pattern. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 241 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-diamond-pattern-c3329666 2026-10-10T00:15:09.064Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IzS3zF4mucE/hqdefault.jpg Create the Diamond Pattern — How to stripe a lawn-Like a BOSS! Basic to advanced techniques 4K VIDE To create the diamond pattern, perform a final set of mowing passes designed to emphasize and define the diamond shapes that have emerged from the intersection of your previous diagonal stripes. This typically involves mowing another set of parallel diagonal stripes that either follow the initial zigzag direction or are at a specific angle to highlight the diamond outlines. Maintain utmost precision in overlapping and ensuring straight lines, as this is critical to make the geometric diamond shapes truly pop and stand out across the lawn. This pass effectively layers on the previous patterns to achieve the desired visual effect. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 58 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/advanced-techniques-and-mower-care-c3329667 2026-10-10T00:15:09.064Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IzS3zF4mucE/hqdefault.jpg Advanced Techniques and Mower Care — How to stripe a lawn-Like a BOSS! Basic to advanced techniques To consistently achieve professional-grade lawn stripes, several key techniques and equipment considerations are essential. Ensure your mower blades are consistently sharp to provide a clean cut, which directly impacts stripe definition; dull blades fray grass, leading to a ragged look. Always overlap each pass by approximately 4-6 inches to eliminate uncut strips and create a more pronounced pattern. Utilizing a mower with dual wheels (like the experimental Scag "Dirt Monkey" shown in the video) significantly enhances maneuverability and prevents turf tearing, especially on turns and sloped terrain. Maintain a consistent and relatively slow speed throughout your mowing for uniform grass bending. Crucially, rotate your mowing patterns weekly to prevent creating permanent ruts in the lawn and to keep the grass healthy. Finally, be mindful of the grass clipping discharge direction to keep patios and landscaped areas clean, which may require manual blowing with a leaf blower. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IzS3zF4mucE 43 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/why-i-dont-work-for-home-builderswhat-99-of-people-dont-know-v3275625 2026-10-10T03:42:23.100Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YZ87i3CzZa0/hqdefault.jpg Why I don't work for Home Builders-what 99% of people don't know This video outlines a significant, multi-year landscaping project for a newly constructed house.

Grass seeding, Lawn REPAIR, After spreading the seed, use the landscape rake to gently rake the seed into the top layer of soil. The goal is to lightly cover the seed, not bury it deeply. This helps protect the seed from birds and wind while allowing sunlight to reach it for germination. Once the seed is lightly covered, establish a consistent watering schedule: twice a day, in the morning and evening, ensuring the soil remains moist but never muddy. If possible, use pond water or rainwater, as it contains natural fertilizers (phosphates, nitrates) that are beneficial for new grass, unlike filtered tap water. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ghbmkbbc0jM 161 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/rebuilding-a-collapsing-driveway-and-retaining-wall-v3275656 2026-10-10T04:05:52.174Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ErDN5BsnUhU/hqdefault.jpg Rebuilding a Collapsing Driveway and Retaining wall This DIY project details the challenging process of replacing an old, failing modular block retaining wall with a new, robust boulder retaining wall.

The presenter suggests approaching homeowners and offering to mow their lawn for the entire season free of charge. In return, the homeowner would permit the aspiring entrepreneur to use their existing lawn mower for this service, and potentially for other jobs to build up their business. The underlying principle is to appeal to the homeowner's willingness to help someone starting out, particularly if the entrepreneur is young and enthusiastic. As an example, the presenter showcases a functional battery-powered Black+Decker lawn mower that he personally acquired using similar methods, emphasizing the benefit of electric models that eliminate the need for gasoline. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkV6bjbelqE 168 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/transporting-your-equipment-affordably-c3329988 2026-10-10T06:32:35.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkV6bjbelqE/hqdefault.jpg Transporting Your Equipment Affordably — How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn mowing This step provides various solutions for transporting lawn care equipment, catering to entrepreneurs who may not initially own a large pickup truck or dedicated trailer. The presenter showcases a specialized 'Ramp Rack' system, designed to fit into a standard pickup truck bed (e.g., Ford F-350). This system allows for the secure loading and transport of multiple pieces of equipment, such as a stand-on mower (e.g., Wright Manufacturing) and an ATV (e.g., Honda Rancher), eliminating the need for a separate trailer. Alternatively, for smaller setups, the video suggests utilizing a 'work van' (e.g., Dodge Grand Caravan) or even a passenger minivan. These vehicles, often available used at a lower cost, can efficiently haul push mowers, weed whackers, blowers, and other essential tools directly inside, offering a practical and budget-friendly transportation method. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkV6bjbelqE 286 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/pricing-your-services-setting-bids-c3329989 2026-10-10T06:32:35.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkV6bjbelqE/hqdefault.jpg Pricing Your Services & Setting Bids — How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn mowing w This step outlines a straightforward pricing strategy for your lawn care services. The presenter suggests aiming for approximately $1 per minute of work, particularly when using larger 48-inch to 52-inch mowers. To accurately determine your individual pricing, he advises conducting practical experiments: first, time how long it takes to mow your own lawn using a stopwatch. Then, approach friendly neighbors or family members and offer to mow their lawns, carefully timing these jobs as well. This hands-on approach provides valuable data to establish a realistic baseline for your bids. It's crucial to adjust your per-minute rate based on the size and efficiency of your equipment; smaller push mowers will naturally take longer and yield less per minute, so your pricing must reflect this reality to remain competitive and ensure you are adequately compensated for your time. If a job takes excessively long for the price charged, it indicates your current rate might be too low, or your equipment isn't suitable for that specific task. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkV6bjbelqE 99 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/effective-marketing-for-customer-acquisition-c3329990 2026-10-10T06:32:35.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkV6bjbelqE/hqdefault.jpg Effective Marketing for Customer Acquisition — How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn This step focuses on highly effective marketing strategies to attract and acquire new clients for your lawn care business. The presenter emphasizes that personalized, handwritten letters are far more impactful than generic flyers or digital advertisements due to their unique, personal touch. He demonstrates this by comparing a stack of impersonal mail with a single, handwritten letter, highlighting that the latter boasts a significantly higher open rate. The core of this strategy is to craft an 'About Me' flyer, designed in a simple black-and-white format with a clear, readable font. This flyer should include a personal photograph of yourself and a brief, compelling story about who you are, why you started your business, and how you aim to provide value to your community. This personal connection dramatically increases the likelihood of a positive response. Additionally, for low-cost digital marketing, he suggests leveraging free online platforms such as Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace to promote your services within local communities. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkV6bjbelqE 341 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/investing-in-knowledge-for-growth-c3329991 2026-10-10T06:32:35.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkV6bjbelqE/hqdefault.jpg Investing in Knowledge for Growth — How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn mowing with This crucial step emphasizes the ongoing need for learning and self-improvement to ensure your lawn care business thrives. The presenter highlights that investing in your knowledge and skills will yield far greater returns than relying solely on physical labor. He recommends utilizing online learning platforms like 'Skillshare,' pointing out that they offer a wealth of courses, including those focused on marketing, entrepreneurship, and effective customer communication. Specifically, he references Simon Sinek's class on storytelling, underscoring its importance for enhancing sales and building genuine connections with clients. The core message is that continuous education, particularly in soft skills and business acumen, is paramount for propelling your business forward and establishing a strong, lasting relationship with your customer base. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkV6bjbelqE 93 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/implementing-business-management-systems-c3329992 2026-10-10T06:32:35.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vkV6bjbelqE/hqdefault.jpg Implementing Business Management Systems — How a kid, teenager or adult can get started in Lawn mowi This final step underscores the critical need for implementing robust business management systems as your lawn care venture expands. The presenter initially relied on simple notebooks (e.g., OfficeMax columnar pads) for basic record-keeping, noting that this method is sufficient for a small number of jobs. However, he strongly advises transitioning to specialized software like 'Jobber' as the business grows. This type of software is designed to automate essential tasks such as optimizing job routes (to minimize travel and maximize completed jobs), generating invoices, managing client information, and tracking financial data.

This process involves positioning larger 'frame rocks' on either side and in the middle, creating a visually appealing and functional flow for the water. The selection of rock material, such as granite, and its precise orientation (e.g., a cantilevered placement) are crucial for generating the desired cascading effect, rather than merely allowing water to roll over the surface. Particular attention should be given to establishing stable points from which water will spill. The rocks are set directly on the liner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2--Qo_sDQ 152 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/set-level-spillway-c3333071 2026-10-10T04:32:07.337Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s2--Qo_sDQ/hqdefault.jpg Set & Level Spillway — How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7-14 Position the waterfall spillway, which is a pre-formed black plastic unit, at the very top of the waterfall structure. Utilize a level to ensure that the spillway is perfectly horizontal; this is crucial for achieving an even and consistent water flow across its entire width. Once the spillway is accurately positioned, mark the pond liner precisely where the spillway's outlet will connect. Using a utility knife, carefully cut a hole in the liner. This cut should be approximately half an inch smaller than the marked circle to create a tight fit. This snug fit, in conjunction with rubber seals and thread sealant, will guarantee a watertight connection. The spillway unit itself typically features reverse threads for added security and a more robust seal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2--Qo_sDQ 194 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/apply-foam-sealant-c3333072 2026-10-10T04:32:07.337Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s2--Qo_sDQ/hqdefault.jpg Apply Foam Sealant — How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7-14 After the boulders are meticulously placed and the spillway is secured, apply a foam sealant, specifically black waterfall foam, to fill any existing gaps between the rocks and the pond liner. This serves a critical dual purpose: it firmly anchors the rocks in position, preventing any unwanted shifting over time, and, more importantly, it effectively directs the water flow over the intended paths and cascades, preventing it from seeping behind the waterfall structure. By creating a 'weeping area' or a natural French drain effect, any water that inadvertently travels outside the main flow is guided back into the reservoir system, thereby eliminating potential leaks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2--Qo_sDQ 34 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/attach-hose-fitting-hose-to-spillway-c3333073 2026-10-10T04:32:07.337Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s2--Qo_sDQ/hqdefault.jpg Attach Hose Fitting & Hose to Spillway — How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7- With the spillway securely in place, the next step is to attach the hose fitting to its connection point. Before screwing the fitting into the spillway, apply thread sealant generously to the fitting's threads to ensure a watertight seal. Tighten the fitting a couple of turns past hand-tight to secure it properly without causing damage. Following this, connect the flexible hose from the pump to this newly attached fitting. If necessary, trim the hose to the appropriate length. It is important to ensure that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the hose that could impede or restrict the water flow, which would reduce the efficiency of the waterfall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2--Qo_sDQ 48 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/finalize-look-c3333075 2026-10-10T04:32:07.337Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s2--Qo_sDQ/hqdefault.jpg Finalize Look — How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7-14 This crucial step focuses on enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the pondless waterfall, creating a natural and inviting look. Begin by backfilling with the remaining small gravel, ensuring all visible portions of the pond liner are covered and any gaps between rocks are filled. This process helps to create a natural streambed appearance. Next, strategically place decorative elements, such as resin driftwood and artificial plants, to soften the hardscape and add visual interest. When arranging these elements, consider the primary 'viewpoint' from which the waterfall will most often be observed, optimizing their placement for maximum impact and a cohesive natural design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2--Qo_sDQ 58 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/turn-on-check-for-leaks-c3333076 2026-10-10T04:32:07.337Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5s2--Qo_sDQ/hqdefault.jpg Turn On & Check for Leaks — How to install a waterfall in 2 hours & 20 minutes steps 7-14 With all the components installed and the landscaping meticulously completed, the final step is to activate the pump and initiate the waterfall.

He states that for any retaining wall (boulder or modular block) over 4 feet tall, or with a slope or surcharge behind it, geogrid is absolutely essential. The rule of thumb for geogrid is to install one linear foot of geogrid extending behind the wall for every one linear foot of face wall height, with layers placed every two feet without fail. For boulder walls specifically, a heavy filter fabric is also needed behind the face to prevent soil erosion through the gaps between the irregular boulders. However, he warns against using filter fabric in modular block walls or with heavy, silty soil, as it can trap water and create hydrostatic pressure, leading to blowouts and counteracting the intended drainage. The fabric is only beneficial in boulder walls to prevent erosion through gaps, not to create a drainage layer in inappropriate soil types. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MGVck-lexSY 205 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/why-retaining-walls-fall-down-how-most-people-build-them-wrong-v3275719/conclusion-and-future-learning-c3331625 2026-10-10T00:15:19.289Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MGVck-lexSY/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Future Learning — WHY Retaining Walls FALL down - How Most people Build them Wrong The presenter concludes the video by summarizing the key takeaway: geogrid is the most important component for any retaining wall over 4 feet tall, or those with a slope or surcharge behind them.

The narrator introduces Todd, the president of Quick Attach, and Shane, an engineer with 19 years of experience in building attachments. They discuss the goal of demonstrating the durability and robustness of Quick Attach brush mowers, specifically their ability to withstand impacts without shattering or breaking, unlike typical brush mowers. This is dramatically illustrated by intentionally running a Kubota SSV 75 skid steer with a Quick Attach brush mower over a large rock, generating sparks and dust but resulting only in a bent blade, not a broken one. This initial segment sets the stage for a detailed discussion about mower features designed for such resilience. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 290 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/understanding-drive-systems-right-angle-vs-direct-drive-c3329432 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Drive Systems: Right Angle vs. Direct Drive — Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equ This step delves into the two main types of drive systems for brush mowers: right-angle drive (also referred to as 'right drive') and direct drive. Shane explains that Quick Attach utilizes both, but strategically. For smaller mowers where maintaining a higher tip speed is crucial, they employ a right-angle drive system. This system incorporates a 2:1 speed increaser, which allows the use of a larger displacement hydraulic motor. Shane highlights that larger displacement motors are more efficient as they avoid the issue of 'breathing through a straw' — where smaller motors are forced to push too much flow, leading to overheating and premature wear. Conversely, while direct drive systems might seem simpler, they spin the disc slower, resulting in less energy. Manufacturers often compensate for this by using heavier blade carriers to achieve comparable energy output. The key takeaway is that the 'strongest' option isn't always the 'right' option; the optimal drive system depends on the specific mower size and intended application, and is chosen to complement the machine's hydraulic flow requirements without causing overheating. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 181 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/comparing-blade-design-and-mass-for-performance-c3329433 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Blade Design and Mass for Performance — Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equipment in Shane highlights the critical role of blade design in brush mower performance and safety. He displays a heavy, long blade (approximately 16 pounds each) with an offset, emphasizing that this offset is crucial for effective mulching and keeping the blade close to the ground. Using two such blades on the stump jumper allows for longer overall blade length, contributing to greater cutting momentum. Unlike brittle blades that shatter, these blades are designed to be ductile, bending upon impact to prevent dangerous shrapnel and costly damage to the mower's gearbox or shafts. He explains that you can achieve similar energy output either through high tip speed with lower mass or low tip speed with higher mass. For brush and grass clearing, which represents the majority of users' needs, Quick Attach favors higher tip speeds for cleaner cuts and increased energy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 165 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/assessing-mower-attachment-and-functionality-c3329434 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Assessing Mower Attachment and Functionality — Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equipment in Ext This step covers crucial mechanical features distinguishing brush mower models: the frame's flexibility, rear rollers, and safety mechanisms. The video highlights two types of frames: rigid and floating. A 'floating frame' is designed to contour separately from the skid steer, providing an even cut on uneven terrain by allowing the mower deck to adjust independently. In contrast, a rigid frame, while simpler, will 'bob' with the machine's suspension (or lack thereof), leading to uneven cuts and increased wear on blades from constant ground impact. Rear rollers serve two purposes: maintaining ground contact for a consistent cut and shielding the operator from debris thrown backward. Additionally, advanced mowers feature a safety shutoff mechanism that stops the blades when the mower is lifted off the ground, preventing accidental contact with spinning blades. Understanding these features helps in choosing a mower that offers superior performance, operator comfort, and enhanced safety for varied terrain and usage scenarios. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 135 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/matching-mower-size-and-type-to-machine-c3329435 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Matching Mower Size and Type to Machine — Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equipment in Extreme Choosing the correct mower size is paramount for optimal performance and efficiency. The video demonstrates Quick Attach offers a range of widths for both skid steer (60, 66, 72, 78 inches) and tractor-mounted brush mowers. Shane emphasizes that the width of the mower should directly match the horsepower of the machine it's attached to. For instance, putting a 78-inch mower on a small skid steer would lead to underperformance because the smaller machine would be doing 'more work' under a larger cutting circle. The goal is to ensure the mower and the machine are proportionally matched. Flow rate is another critical factor; mini-loaders typically operate with flow rates up to 15 gallons per minute (GPM), and while mowers might operate at lower rates, performance will be reduced. A general recommendation is at least 10 GPM for satisfactory operation. Selecting the right size and ensuring sufficient flow rate prevents inefficiencies and maximizes the mower's capabilities. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 105 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/choosing-hydraulic-motor-specifications-for-optimal-performance-c3329436 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Choosing Hydraulic Motor Specifications for Optimal Performance — Testing Brush Mowers & Land cleari The video moves on to a detailed comparison of hydraulic motors, revealing why certain, often more expensive, motors are used in high-performance brush mowers. Shane lays out various Eaton hydraulic motors: 2000 series, 4000 series, and 6000 series, explaining that as the series number increases, the motor's capacity for horsepower, pressure, and flow rate also increases. He then introduces a 'radial piston motor', which, like an old WWII radial engine, has high startup torque and superior efficiency compared to roller-type motors. While these are more efficient, they are also significantly more expensive, leading manufacturers to balance performance with cost. The selection of the right motor is crucial; you must plan for the desired tip speed and match the motor size to the required flow rate. The narrator asks about the largest motor, to which Shane presents a 'radial piston motor', which is robust and designed for demanding tasks. Ultimately, the choice is about matching hydraulic motor specifications to the desired performance and cost-effectiveness for different mower models. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 265 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/debunking-marketing-claims-and-realistic-expectations-c3329437 2026-10-10T06:56:06.939Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9KnX6etXCkY/hqdefault.jpg Debunking Marketing Claims and Realistic Expectations — Testing Brush Mowers & Land clearing Equipme This final step addresses the often-misleading claims about brush mower capabilities, particularly regarding tree-clearing. While many manufacturers claim their mid-sized brush mowers can cut through 10-inch trees, Shane clarifies that while the mowers *can* technically take down such trees, they are not the 'right tool for the job' if you intend to regularly clear trees of that size. For heavy-duty tree removal, specialized mulchers are more appropriate. Brush mowers, especially Quick Attach's tractor-mounted version, are primarily designed for mowing brush, saplings, and grass, and can handle occasional larger material by backing into it. The emphasis is on being realistic about the mower's primary function and not being swayed by marketing specifications without understanding their practical implications. This model, for instance, has a heavy construction derived from skid steer decks, making it robust enough for pushing through dense brush and even grass. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KnX6etXCkY 145 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/3-scams-contractors-use-to-fraud-customers-how-to-protect-yourself-v3275723 2026-10-10T00:15:20.060Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fAybVR_LVM8/hqdefault.jpg 3 Scams Contractors use to Fraud Customers & How to protect yourself This project provides essential strategies and actionable steps for homeowners to protect themselves from common contractor scams.

It consists of an adjustable faceplate that creates a watertight seal between the liner and the skimmer box, allowing water to flow from the pond into the pump. The faceplate is designed with guide screws (machine screws) and specific holes for precise alignment. Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the skimmer's opening before attaching the faceplate to ensure a completely watertight seal. The faceplate's adjustability by about 3 inches allows for fine-tuning the water level as needed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/46OgaHKf00s 198 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/rock-the-pond-c3333085 2026-10-10T04:54:45.668Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/46OgaHKf00s/hqdefault.jpg Rock the Pond — How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20 Begin placing rocks from the bottom of the pond outwards. This technique (starting with the 'frame rocks' or 'destination boulders') helps to pull the liner into place, preventing tension and ensuring it conforms properly to the pond's shape. Strategic rock placement is crucial for creating biological filtration (providing surface area for beneficial microorganisms), acting as ballast to prevent the liner from bubbling up due to hydrostatic pressure, and enhancing the pond's natural appearance. If no rocks or ballast are used, water pressure can cause the liner to float, creating an unsightly bubble underneath, and soil erosion will eventually cause the pond walls to collapse. Ensure there is enough slack in the liner to accommodate the rocks and provide flexibility for future adjustments or repairs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/46OgaHKf00s 240 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/digging-out-for-frame-rocks-waterfall-c3333086 2026-10-10T04:54:45.668Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/46OgaHKf00s/hqdefault.jpg Digging Out for Frame Rocks (Waterfall) — How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20 Install additional frame rocks around the waterfall area.

This process helps to settle the rocks and clean the pond before final filling. Use a water hose to spray water over the rocks, allowing any dirt to settle at the lowest point of the pond. A clean-out pump can be used at the lowest point to remove this dirty water until the water being pumped out is clear. It's recommended to use a water meter attached to the hose to accurately measure the amount of water (gallons) added to the pond, which is essential for precise water treatment calculations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/46OgaHKf00s 67 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/make-adjustments-and-check-water-elevations-c3333088 2026-10-10T04:54:45.668Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/46OgaHKf00s/hqdefault.jpg Make Adjustments and Check Water Elevations — How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20 Periodically check the water elevations at various points in the pond and waterfall system using a transit level. Make adjustments to the rocks and surrounding soil as necessary to achieve the desired water flow and level. This might involve manually raising or lowering sections of the liner by adding or removing soil underneath, ensuring the liner is peeled back for proper adjustment. The goal is to create a natural-looking transition between the water feature and the surrounding landscape, avoiding a 'ring of pearls' effect where the liner is visible or looks unnatural. https://www.youtube.com/embed/46OgaHKf00s 93 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/foam-in-rocks-and-secure-filter-pads-c3333089 2026-10-10T04:54:45.668Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/46OgaHKf00s/hqdefault.jpg Foam in Rocks and Secure Filter Pads — How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20 After all rocks are in place, use pond-safe expanding foam sealant to fill any gaps between the rocks, especially in waterfall areas. This foam helps to secure the rocks, prevent water from disappearing behind them, and direct the water flow over the intended paths. Ensure you use foam specifically designed to be safe for pond ecosystems, as other foams may contain agents harmful to fish and plants. The skimmer filter pad (upper filter pad) needs to be accessible for cleaning (or washing off) at least once a year.

A chainsaw is used to make a flat cut on one side of the log, which will serve as the back against the wall. Another flat cut is made for the top surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4M6WanhujTA 169 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/hollow-out-the-back-for-weight-reduction-and-plumbing-c3330323 2026-10-10T05:21:20.453Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4M6WanhujTA/hqdefault.jpg Hollow Out the Back for Weight Reduction and Plumbing — CHEAP But GORGEOUS Bathroom remodel for $497 After preparing the top and back, the log is laid on its side. Using a large chainsaw (specifically a Makita), the craftsman makes several deep, parallel cuts into the back section of the log. These cuts are then cross-cut to create smaller, removable blocks of wood. An axe and sledgehammer are used to pry and knock out these sections, effectively hollowing out the back side. This process reduces the overall weight of the stump and creates space for plumbing, which will be hidden against the wall. A smaller Makita chainsaw was also used for finer cuts, but lacked the depth for the main hollowing. The goal is to lighten the stump and provide a flat surface for wall installation and plumbing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4M6WanhujTA 69 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/carve-the-sink-basin-c3330324 2026-10-10T05:21:20.453Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4M6WanhujTA/hqdefault.jpg Carve the Sink Basin — CHEAP But GORGEOUS Bathroom remodel for $497 - LOG Sink masterpiece pt 1of 2 With the back side roughly hollowed, the log is moved to a more stable position. The sink basin itself is then carved into the top of the stump. Initially, a circular saw is used to make radial and concentric cuts, creating the basic outline and depth of the bowl. However, the circular saw's depth is limited, so the craftsman switches to a combination of smaller chainsaws, hand chisels, and a belt sander to achieve the desired bowl shape and smoothness. This is a meticulous process, removing layers of wood until a smooth, functional basin is achieved. The goal is to carve the basin as deep as possible, allowing enough thickness for a drain hole, while ensuring structural integrity and proper water drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4M6WanhujTA 50 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/acclimate-test-stains-and-plan-sealing-c3330325 2026-10-10T05:21:20.453Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4M6WanhujTA/hqdefault.jpg Acclimate, Test Stains, and Plan Sealing — CHEAP But GORGEOUS Bathroom remodel for $497 - LOG Sink After the basin is carved, the stump is brought indoors to acclimate to indoor temperatures and allow further drying. During this period, the natural drying process causes additional cracks to form, particularly around the edges of the basin. The creator points out these cracks and explains they were anticipated. To address the discolored areas and the cracks, a small piece of the same wood is used for stain testing. Three different Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stains (Early American and two other shades) are applied to find the closest match to the desired wood tone and to blend the discolored parts. The final plan is to seal all cracks and the entire wood surface with clear epoxy resin. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4M6WanhujTA 80 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/apply-sealing-resin-c3330326 2026-10-10T05:21:20.453Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4M6WanhujTA/hqdefault.jpg Apply Sealing Resin — CHEAP But GORGEOUS Bathroom remodel for $497 - LOG Sink masterpiece pt 1of 2 The final step shown in the video is the application of a sealing agent to the tree stump. Using a brush, a clear epoxy or resin is carefully applied to the entire exterior surface of the carved stump. This epoxy not only seals the wood and prevents further moisture changes but also fills in all the natural cracks that developed during the drying process, ensuring the sink is watertight and durable. The creator expresses some regret about staining the wood, noting that leaving it natural or using a clear sealant might have enhanced its character by allowing the bright color changes to blend naturally. Nevertheless, the resin provides a protective, glossy finish, giving the stump a finished look. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4M6WanhujTA 92 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-17-v3275730 2026-10-10T03:36:03.639Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yeU5QBvNF_c/hqdefault.jpg How to install a backyard POND in ONE day Steps 1-7 This project demonstrates the step-by-step process of installing a backyard pond with a waterfall feature using an Aquascapes pond kit, designed for efficiency and natural aesthetic.

He explains that you don't need to perfectly level the rotary laser initially; just get it 'somewhat close'. After powering it on, the DeWalt laser automatically levels itself. He then establishes a benchmark by placing a concrete block and uses the grade rod and receiver to determine the laser line's height relative to the top of the block. He records this height (3 feet 5.5 inches). This benchmark will be the reference point for all subsequent measurements for setting footings. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oqwlpSZ0rk0 102 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-rotary-laser-sponsored-by-dewalt-v3275733/reading-the-grade-for-a-footing-c3325542 2026-10-10T05:03:03.775Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oqwlpSZ0rk0/hqdefault.jpg Reading the Grade for a Footing — How to use a Rotary Laser (sponsored by Dewalt) To dig a footing 12 inches below the established benchmark, you will use the grade rod and receiver. If the benchmark was 3 feet 5.5 inches, to go 12 inches deeper, the receiver reading will be 4 feet 5.5 inches (because when you go lower in elevation, the numbers on the grade rod increase). The presenter then demonstrates this by moving to a lower point in the trench and showing how the receiver indicates a higher number on the grade rod, confirming the desired depth. He emphasizes that you don't always need a specialized grade rod; a simple piece of wood with the receiver attached can be used to set a reference point at the desired depth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oqwlpSZ0rk0 72 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-rotary-laser-sponsored-by-dewalt-v3275733/utility-line-awareness-and-retaining-wall-footings-c3325543 2026-10-10T05:03:03.775Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oqwlpSZ0rk0/hqdefault.jpg Utility Line Awareness and Retaining Wall Footings — How to use a Rotary Laser (sponsored by Dewalt) The presenter shares a real-world example where a phone and cable line were inadvertently cut during excavation because private utility lines from a house to an outbuilding (like a barn or garage) are typically not marked by utility companies.

A French drain involves excavating a trench away from the foundation, lining it with permeable fabric, filling it with gravel, and embedding a perforated pipe within the gravel layer. The pipe is then covered with more gravel, permeable fabric, and finally topsoil/grass. This system allows water to permeate through the soil and fabric, collect in the perforated pipe, and be routed away from the foundation. Warnings are given about proper water diversion to avoid problems like retaining wall failures or landslides. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u90y72RHgM 67 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/fullfledged-exterior-foundation-waterproofing-c3329320 2026-10-10T03:36:55.474Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1u90y72RHgM/hqdefault.jpg Full-Fledged Exterior Foundation Waterproofing — 4 Solutions to fix a wet basement plus Noob Mistake Full-fledged exterior foundation waterproofing is the most invasive but effective solution. This involves excavating all soil down to the footing of the foundation. The foundation wall is then thoroughly cleaned, tuckpointed (repairing mortar joints), and coated with a waterproofing compound like Dry Seal Premium Rubberized Foundation Coating or Gray Shield Foundation Coating. A dimpled foundation wrap (like Platon DMX AG Foundation Wrap) or another waterproofing membrane is then applied, followed by insulation (polystyrene sheets) to protect the membrane and prevent freeze/thaw cycles. Finally, the trench is backfilled, first with permeable aggregate (like 3/4 inch clear rock or Class V aggregate) and then with non-permeable clay at the top to shed surface water. Proper compaction of the backfill is crucial to prevent future settlement issues. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u90y72RHgM 377 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/interior-drain-tile-with-sump-pump-last-resort-c3329323 2026-10-10T03:36:55.474Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1u90y72RHgM/hqdefault.jpg Interior Drain Tile with Sump Pump (Last Resort) — 4 Solutions to fix a wet basement plus Noob Mista The interior drain tile with a sump pump system is presented as the last resort solution when exterior measures are insufficient or impossible. This involves cutting the concrete floor around the perimeter of the basement, exposing the footing. A perforated drain tile is installed alongside the footing, collecting water that seeps through the foundation. This water is directed to a sump basket where a sump pump pushes it out of the basement. While effective, the presenter views this as a less ideal solution because it allows water to enter the basement environment before being removed, potentially contributing to dampness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u90y72RHgM 240 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/identifying-interior-water-entry-points-c3329324 2026-10-10T03:36:55.474Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1u90y72RHgM/hqdefault.jpg Identifying Interior Water Entry Points — 4 Solutions to fix a wet basement plus Noob Mistakes Before implementing any solution, it's crucial to identify where the water is entering the basement. The video advises homeowners to act as 'part detectives,' starting by inspecting the base of the interior walls. Look for signs such as yellowing, bubbling or chipped paint (indicating past water issues), dampness, or efflorescence (white powdery deposits). Window wells are also common culprits if they lack covers, allowing them to fill with water and leak into the basement.

It is important to inspect each plank before installation and discard or set aside any that have significant width discrepancies. If a gap appears, attempt to unlock the affected planks and find a better fitting piece. If this is not addressed, gaps will continue to propagate across the floor. To create a random pattern, pull planks from different boxes and vary the length of the starter pieces for each row. This avoids a repetitive or 'stair-step' appearance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PplEi34iAiQ 70 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-install-hardwood-floors-before-during-after-including-all-v3275743/apply-flexible-sealant-transition-pieces-c3333062 2026-10-10T05:52:30.909Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PplEi34iAiQ/hqdefault.jpg Apply Flexible Sealant & Transition Pieces — How NOT to install Hardwood Floors- Before during & Aft Around the perimeter of the room and against fixed objects like log pillars and fireplaces, apply a flexible polyurethane sealant (Loctite PL Pro Line Polyurethane Sealant) in the expansion gaps. This sealant is paintable, tear-resistant, and flexible, designed to expand and contract with the flooring material, preventing new gaps from forming. For transitions between different flooring types (e.g., engineered vinyl plank to existing wood flooring), use appropriate transition pieces. A T-piece is used to bridge two floors of similar height, while an end-cap or reducer is used to transition to a lower surface or finish against a door frame. These pieces can be adhered with construction adhesive if nailing is not possible due to radiant heating. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PplEi34iAiQ 140 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-install-hardwood-floors-before-during-after-including-all-v3275743/final-review-lessons-learned-c3333063 2026-10-10T05:52:30.909Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PplEi34iAiQ/hqdefault.jpg Final Review & Lessons Learned — How NOT to install Hardwood Floors- Before during & After including After the entire room is floored, conduct a final inspection to check for any remaining gaps, loose planks, or areas needing touch-ups. The narrator highlights that despite careful installation, issues like gapping in the center of the floor can still occur due to factors like inconsistent plank manufacturing or the effects of radiant heat on the 'floating' floor system. Lessons learned include the necessity of cutting planks from the bottom side with a jigsaw to prevent finish damage, the importance of drawing from multiple boxes for a random and varied pattern, and the need for extremely tight fits to prevent subsequent separation. The final result is a beautiful and functional engineered vinyl plank floor, replacing the old carpeting and improving the aesthetic and durability of the space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PplEi34iAiQ 392 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/he-went-from-making-15k-a-year-in-lawn-care-to-almost-1-million-in-v3275744 2026-10-10T00:15:25.242Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GfSZkM3SvFw/hqdefault.jpg He went from making $15K a year in lawn care to almost 1 million in construction in 12 months This video details the journey of an entrepreneur, Gregory Gallagher, from a small lawn mowing business to a multi-million dollar landscaping, demolition, and commercial real estate enterprise in just two years.

This approach, though initially counter-intuitive to some, is presented as a defense against potential economic downturns. By owning equipment debt-free, the business avoids high-interest loan payments, allowing it to remain profitable and even thrive during recessions when competitors burdened by debt may struggle or go out of business. This strategy prioritizes long-term stability and profitability over immediate credit building. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GfSZkM3SvFw 14 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/he-went-from-making-15k-a-year-in-lawn-care-to-almost-1-million-in-v3275744/adopt-a-longterm-strategic-vision-c3331653 2026-10-10T00:15:25.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GfSZkM3SvFw/hqdefault.jpg Adopt a Long-Term Strategic Vision — He went from making $15K a year in lawn care to almost 1 millio Instead of focusing solely on immediate gains, the entrepreneur advocates for running the business with a five-year outlook. This involves constantly assessing market conditions, anticipating economic shifts (like an impending recession), and making proactive decisions to position the business for future success. By planning for what will happen in the future, especially during economic downturns, a business can gain a significant competitive advantage by being prepared when others are in a state of panic or forced to sell assets at a loss. This long-term perspective enables strategic investments and calculated risks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GfSZkM3SvFw 3136 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745 2026-10-10T03:52:47.097Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IqMOUDtRySQ/hqdefault.jpg Landscaping equipment & business tips- How to Hack your Customers, Your equipment & Your Crew This video presents four practical 'hacks' or tips aimed at small business owners and DIY enthusiasts, covering crew management, equipment acquisition, customer interaction, and heavy equipment transport.

Instead of immediately answering a call from a crew member asking 'Hey boss, what do I do?', tell them you'll call them back in 20 minutes. This gives them a short but sufficient window to think about the problem and potentially solve it themselves before needing your direct intervention. This encourages problem-solving skills and reduces unnecessary calls for simple issues. The presenter notes that crews are often capable of solving 90% of problems on their own. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IqMOUDtRySQ 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745/hack-2-getting-free-saws-c3329247 2026-10-10T03:52:47.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IqMOUDtRySQ/hqdefault.jpg Hack #2: Getting Free Saws — Landscaping equipment & business tips- How to Hack your Customers, Your This hack explains how to get concrete saws for free. The presenter describes a long-standing practice of purchasing high-quality concrete blades from a specific supplier. The key is that if you purchase 12 blades from 'Blades Direct,' they provide a free concrete saw. The presenter emphasizes that these free saws are often Husqvarna or Stihl brands and are fully functional, despite the initial skepticism about something being 'too good to be true.' This strategy allows businesses to save significant money on equipment by bundling blade purchases. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IqMOUDtRySQ 176 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745/hack-3-hide-behind-company-policy-c3329248 2026-10-10T03:52:47.097Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IqMOUDtRySQ/hqdefault.jpg Hack #3: Hide Behind Company Policy — Landscaping equipment & business tips- How to Hack your Custom This hack teaches how to 'hide behind company policy' to prevent customers from taking advantage, particularly when they request additional work or discounts while you are already on a job site. For a first-time customer asking for a discount or additional free work, politely state that 'company policy' does not allow discounts on the first job but can offer them after the third project. This leverages the inherent respect people have for 'company policy' and helps maintain your pricing structure without personal confrontation.

This room utilizes a hydroponic system, meaning live plants are used to naturally filter the water. This method completely eliminates the need for chemical filtration, as the plants efficiently absorb undesirable elements such as nitrates, ammonia, and potassium from the water. A large mass of plants is crucial for this process, as they perform 100% of the chemical (natural) filtration. The lighting system for the main tank is integrated into this room, featuring a setup on garage door rails that allows it to slide away, providing easy access to the tank for maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BGTc4BFiJ0Y 56 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-fish-tank-tour-plus-one-of-the-rarest-fish-in-the-world-v3275749/water-circulation-and-treatment-system-c3329297 2026-10-10T00:15:26.686Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BGTc4BFiJ0Y/hqdefault.jpg Water Circulation and Treatment System — 1700 gallon fish tank tour PLUS One of the Rarest fish in t The hydroponic filtration operates as a two-step process. First, mechanical separation removes detritus (solid waste) from the water column. This pre-cleaned water then enters the hydroponic system where the plants take over the remaining filtration. The water in the entire system is constantly flowing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fresh tap water first passes through a 12-part pre-filtration system to remove impurities before it enters a dedicated settling chamber. From there, it's drip-fed into the main sump (a reservoir below the tank), then pumped up to another settling tank. This second settling tank gravity-feeds into the main aquarium. The main tank features a waterfall to aerate the water as it returns to the sump, creating a circular motion of water throughout the system. Any overflow from the main sump is diverted to a nearby wash basin, preventing spills and making maintenance cleaner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BGTc4BFiJ0Y 55 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-fish-tank-tour-plus-one-of-the-rarest-fish-in-the-world-v3275749/energy-management-for-climate-control-c3329298 2026-10-10T00:15:26.686Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BGTc4BFiJ0Y/hqdefault.jpg Energy Management for Climate Control — 1700 gallon fish tank tour PLUS One of the Rarest fish in th To effectively manage excess heat generated by the aquarium systems or to maintain warmth during colder periods, a dual-function control system is installed. Two wall switches in the filtration room allow for environmental regulation. One switch directs excess heat generated by the system outside the house when cooling is needed. The other switch recirculates this heat back into the house, contributing to the overall heating during colder months, making the system energy-efficient. This approach leverages the aquarium's heat production, rather than wasting it, to supplement home climate control. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BGTc4BFiJ0Y 20 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/giant-snowblower-mounted-on-a-loader-at-work-in-a-snow-dump-v3275750 2026-10-10T00:15:26.917Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2rufo38MsDY/hqdefault.jpg Giant Snowblower mounted on a loader at work in a snow dump This video showcases the capabilities of a battery-powered, power-assist wheelbarrow, demonstrating its ease of use for moving heavy loads compared to a standard wheelbarrow.

He highlights the 'pivoting hitch' and 'swivel plate' mechanisms, which allow the plow's A-frame and main frame to move independently of the machine. This unique articulation system is crucial for preventing binding and enabling the plow to effectively contour to uneven ground, thereby boosting efficiency and minimizing wear and tear on both the equipment and the surface. Lucas also elaborates on the 'true sectional design' of the plow's cutting edge, which further enhances its adaptability to varied terrains and obstacles. The host points out that the featured plow lacks side 'wings', to which Lucas confirms that attachable wings are currently under development to broaden their plows' functionality. He also mentions the improved durability of Arctic's 'poly-block' design, which has significantly reduced customer complaints. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7935refuAr8 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/understanding-the-efficiency-of-snow-pushers-c3329465 2026-10-10T00:16:05.271Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7935refuAr8/hqdefault.jpg Understanding the Efficiency of Snow Pushers — Snow Plow or a Snow pusher - Whats best For a tracto The host details the significant efficiency of snow pushers in moving substantial volumes of snow rapidly. He stresses that for optimal performance, the machine's four wheels (or tracks) should remain firmly on the ground. This method leverages the machine's full weight, maximizing traction for pushing snow, in contrast to lifting the front wheels, which can reduce traction by as much as 50%. Lucas explains that Arctic's snow pusher designs are engineered to allow the machine to operate independently and conform closely to the pavement, effectively utilizing the machine's weight for superior traction. He confidently states that a single loader equipped with an Arctic pusher can out-clear six pickup trucks fitted with traditional plows, attributing this to the pusher's design and durability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7935refuAr8 210 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/choosing-the-right-arctic-snow-pusher-size-c3329466 2026-10-10T00:16:05.271Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7935refuAr8/hqdefault.jpg Choosing the Right Arctic Snow Pusher Size — Snow Plow or a Snow pusher - Whats best For a tractor, Lucas clarifies the sizing of Arctic snow pushers and their corresponding power requirements. The 10 LD (Light Duty) model is ideal for mid-frame skid steers with approximately 65 horsepower or more, suitable for various general tasks. The 13 LD model, designed for more demanding operations or when snow needs to be moved over greater distances, typically requires around 74 horsepower. A larger 15 LD model is also shown for compact loaders. The host advises selecting machines with 74 horsepower or less to circumvent potential issues with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) systems, which can freeze in extremely cold conditions, leading to operational complications. This strategic choice balances power with reduced maintenance complexity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7935refuAr8 190 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/optimizing-snow-removal-strategies-with-combined-equipment-c3329467 2026-10-10T00:16:05.271Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7935refuAr8/hqdefault.jpg Optimizing Snow Removal Strategies with Combined Equipment — Snow Plow or a Snow pusher - Whats bes The host explains the optimal strategy for combining snow plows and snow pushers for maximum snow removal efficiency. A snow plow is best utilized for clearing tight spots, intricate corners, and around obstacles, with its angled blade directing snow into more open areas of the lot. Once a substantial amount of snow is gathered in these open zones, a snow pusher can then be deployed to efficiently collect and transport it to its final designated pile or disposal area. This collaborative approach leverages the precision of the plow and the high-volume capacity of the pusher, making it ideal for managing large or complex properties. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7935refuAr8 120 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/final-considerations-on-machine-coupling-and-safe-operation-c3329468 2026-10-10T00:16:05.271Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7935refuAr8/hqdefault.jpg Final Considerations on Machine Coupling and Safe Operation — Snow Plow or a Snow pusher - Whats be The host highlights two critical aspects for anyone operating snow removal equipment. Firstly, he addresses machine coupling systems: while snow pushers commonly feature universal hookups for easy attachment, snow plows often have specific coupling requirements that demand precise alignment. Operators must always verify compatibility to avoid operational delays or equipment damage. Secondly, he reiterates the crucial principle of maintaining all four wheels (or tracks) of the machine on the ground during operations. He warns against practices like 'power angling up' or 'popping a wheelie,' as these not only compromise safety and stability but also drastically reduce traction and overall clearing efficiency without improving the snow removal outcome. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7935refuAr8 115 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/concluding-remarks-and-community-engagement-c3329469 2026-10-10T00:16:05.271Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7935refuAr8/hqdefault.jpg Concluding Remarks and Community Engagement — Snow Plow or a Snow pusher - Whats best For a tractor The host provides concluding remarks, summarizing the valuable insights shared regarding the distinctions and optimal applications of snow plows versus snow pushers.

This aggressive design rolls the snow rather than dragging it, leading to significant fuel savings (30-50% reported by operators) because the machine pushes its own weight, not dragging the blade. This design also allows the blade to operate independently of the pavement, further enhancing efficiency and preventing unnecessary wear. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWEGDLK7bJg 64 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/comparing-different-snow-pusher-models-c3331672 2026-10-10T04:22:04.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWEGDLK7bJg/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Different Snow Pusher Models — We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- comparing snow push Lucas provides an overview of three main types of snow pushers: the HD Pusher (typical design), the Sectional Pusher (Arctic's advanced design), and a Typical Pusher (basic, solid moldboard). He explains that the HD Pusher, while robust, can be too bulky and limit visibility. The Sectional Pusher, as Arctic's top-of-the-line model, offers sectional moldboards for superior scraping and a sectional trip edge to prevent damage from obstacles like manhole covers or curbs. This trip edge allows individual sections to pop up and return, protecting both the plow and the machine. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWEGDLK7bJg 98 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/modular-design-for-durability-and-repair-c3331673 2026-10-10T04:22:04.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWEGDLK7bJg/hqdefault.jpg Modular Design for Durability and Repair — We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- comparing snow pu A closer look at the Arctic Sectional Snow-Pusher reveals its bolted construction, which allows for easy replacement of individual moldboard sections. This 'survivability' feature means that if one section is damaged, it can be unbolted and replaced without having to replace the entire plow, making repairs more affordable and efficient. Lucas demonstrates how these bolts and poly blocks can be accessed and replaced. The plow is explicitly stated to be 'MADE IN THE USA' in Kankakee, Illinois, using US steel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWEGDLK7bJg 80 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/poly-blocks-as-designed-failure-points-c3331674 2026-10-10T04:22:04.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWEGDLK7bJg/hqdefault.jpg Poly Blocks as Designed Failure Points — We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- comparing snow push Lucas elaborates on the importance of the poly blocks in the Arctic design. He explains that older models had thinner blocks, which caused problems, but improvements have been made with thicker, more dependable blocks. He clarifies that the poly blocks are designed to be the 'failure point' to protect more expensive components. If an operator hits an obstacle too hard, the inexpensive poly block will break instead of damaging the plow's frame or the machine itself. Replacing a poly block (costing $50-60) is a quick infield fix with an impact gun, avoiding costly shop repairs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWEGDLK7bJg 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/independent-floating-wings-for-curbs-and-containment-c3331675 2026-10-10T04:22:04.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWEGDLK7bJg/hqdefault.jpg Independent Floating Wings for Curbs and Containment — We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- compa The discussion shifts to the wings of the snow pusher, specifically the ability of Arctic's sectional wings to float independently. This feature allows the wings to contour along the side of the road or around curbs, effectively containing snow and clearing surfaces. This independent movement is a significant advantage over rigid wing designs, offering both efficiency and protection against damage when encountering obstacles. The wings can also be lifted to clear curbs and push snow over them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWEGDLK7bJg 74 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/rolled-springs-vs-compression-springs-in-trip-edges-c3331676 2026-10-10T04:22:04.059Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWEGDLK7bJg/hqdefault.jpg Rolled Springs vs. Compression Springs in Trip Edges — We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- compa A critical point for durability is the trip edge mechanism.

Unlike 'closed tub' designs commonly found in competitors' machines that trap snow, mud, and debris, ASV's open frame allows material to easily fall out and self-clean. This prevents damaging buildup and freezing, which can cause premature wear on rollers and tracks. The self-cleaning feature is crucial for reducing maintenance downtime and extending the lifespan of undercarriage components, particularly in harsh winter conditions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vy-nR-_r25Q 120 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/tires-or-tracks-on-a-skid-steer-in-deep-snowcan-you-plow-with-a-v3276012/internal-positive-drive-sprocket-system-c3325254 2026-10-10T06:46:28.764Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vy-nR-_r25Q/hqdefault.jpg Internal Positive Drive Sprocket System — Tires or Tracks on a skid steer in Deep Snow-Can you plow Buck explains ASV's unique internal positive drive sprocket system. Unlike traditional 'through sprocket' designs found in many competitor machines (which use teeth that engage the center of the track, causing high friction and wear), ASV's design utilizes specialized rollers that engage lugs on the inner edge of the track. This rolling engagement is low-friction, significantly reducing wear on both the track and the sprocket, resulting in longer component life and improved fuel efficiency. The design allows for individual roller replacement, making maintenance more cost-effective than replacing an entire cast sprocket. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vy-nR-_r25Q 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/tires-or-tracks-on-a-skid-steer-in-deep-snowcan-you-plow-with-a-v3276012/polycord-track-material-for-flexibility-and-durability-c3325255 2026-10-10T06:46:28.764Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vy-nR-_r25Q/hqdefault.jpg Polycord Track Material for Flexibility and Durability — Tires or Tracks on a skid steer in Deep Sno The video highlights the advanced polycord track material used in ASV machines, contrasting it with traditional steel-cabled tracks.

The video demonstrates that you need a larger pusher attachment to handle the bulk of the snow. The primary goal is to move as much snow as efficiently as possible. This scenario requires careful attention to the ground surface, as rain followed by snow can create treacherous ice layers beneath the fresh snow, making conditions very slippery. Operators must proceed slowly and steadily, especially around obstacles like parked cars, to maintain control and avoid accidents. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bfx2bTSgLAE 183 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-snow-plow-in-a-skid-loader-v3276015/floating-vs-static-pusher-attachments-c3325580 2026-10-10T00:16:07.180Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bfx2bTSgLAE/hqdefault.jpg Floating vs. Static Pusher Attachments — How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader The presenter explains the difference between a floating pusher (like the Pro-Tech FusionEdge shown) and a static pusher. A floating pusher is designed to move independently of the machine, allowing all four tires of the skid steer to remain on the ground at all times. This maximizes traction and prevents excessive downward pressure on the pavement. In contrast, a static pusher requires the operator to manually gauge and apply down pressure to clear the snow, which can be more challenging to get just right. Keeping all four tires on the ground is critical for optimal traction, especially with floating pushers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bfx2bTSgLAE 102 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-snow-plow-in-a-skid-loader-v3276015/efficient-plowing-pattern-starting-point-c3325581 2026-10-10T00:16:07.180Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bfx2bTSgLAE/hqdefault.jpg Efficient Plowing Pattern (Starting Point) — How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader To maximize efficiency and avoid re-plowing cleared areas, always begin clearing a parking lot at the furthest point away from your designated snow push pile. The video demonstrates this principle: if the snow pile is on the left, start clearing along the building on the right. This ensures that as you plow, you are continuously moving snow towards the final pile without having to cross back over already cleared paths, saving time and effort. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bfx2bTSgLAE 85 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-snow-plow-in-a-skid-loader-v3276015/avoiding-common-plowing-mistakes-c3325582 2026-10-10T00:16:07.180Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bfx2bTSgLAE/hqdefault.jpg Avoiding Common Plowing Mistakes — How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader The presenter emphasizes two critical errors to avoid during snow plowing operations. Firstly, never angle the bucket of your skid steer incorrectly (e.g., too far back or too far forward), as this causes significant snow spillage and reduces efficiency. Keep the bucket flat to maximize snow retention. Secondly, avoid pushing snow over curbs. This can damage landscaping features like decorative rocks or bushes, leading to costly repairs in the spring. If curbs exist, back-drag snow away from them instead of pushing over. Always be cautious and aware of what lies beneath the snow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bfx2bTSgLAE 107 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-snow-plow-in-a-skid-loader-v3276015/strategic-plowing-patterns-final-cleanup-c3325583 2026-10-10T00:16:07.180Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bfx2bTSgLAE/hqdefault.jpg Strategic Plowing Patterns & Final Clean-up — How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader The presenter highlights that every parking lot has a pattern for efficient snow removal. It's the operator's job to identify this pattern quickly. Regardless of whether working alone or as part of a team, never randomly push snow. Always plow with a clear purpose and strategy. If you can push multiple 'buckets' worth of snow (15-20 buckets or more) to a single spot before moving it, it saves considerable time compared to constantly relocating small piles. He demonstrates a final, thorough clean-up of the parking lot, ensuring no dribbles or small snow piles are left behind for the next operator. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bfx2bTSgLAE 149 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/payloaders-the-does-and-donts-with-attachments-what-to-watch-out-for-v3276016 2026-10-10T03:41:34.240Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nHeVKZqFGE0/hqdefault.jpg Payloaders- The doe's and dont's with attachments.

They compare a 40-inch tire on a 22-inch wheel with more sidewall to a 37-inch tire on the same size wheel with less sidewall. More sidewall generally leads to a softer, more comfortable ride and better performance for airing down off-road. Conversely, less sidewall (low-profile tires) often results in a harsher ride but can offer a particular aesthetic. The difference in rim size while maintaining a similar overall tire diameter is shown, illustrating how more rim equates to less sidewall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kgnkJRhPukk 105 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/understanding-how-to-pick-out-the-right-size-tires-rims-and-wheels-v3276031/importance-of-tire-load-rating-and-index-c3324933 2026-10-10T03:50:52.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kgnkJRhPukk/hqdefault.jpg Importance of Tire Load Rating and Index — Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, Rims The hosts delve into the critical aspect of tire load rating and load index, which are crucial for safety and performance, especially for heavy-duty trucks. They explain that load range (e.g., Load Range E for 10-ply equivalent) indicates construction strength, but the load index (a numerical value found on the tire sidewall) specifies the maximum weight a single tire can safely carry. A 35-inch, 10-ply tire is compared to a factory Super Duty 10-ply tire; although both are Load Range E, the Super Duty tire has a higher load index (125 vs. 117), meaning it can carry significantly more weight (3800 lbs vs. 2800 lbs per tire). They caution that using a tire with an insufficient load index on a heavy vehicle can lead to blowouts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kgnkJRhPukk 156 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/understanding-how-to-pick-out-the-right-size-tires-rims-and-wheels-v3276031/upgrading-tire-carriers-for-larger-spare-tires-c3324934 2026-10-10T03:50:52.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kgnkJRhPukk/hqdefault.jpg Upgrading Tire Carriers for Larger Spare Tires — Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, The video concludes by discussing an often-overlooked consequence of upsizing tires: the need to upgrade your spare tire carrier. Standard factory tire carriers are designed for the vehicle's original tire size and weight. When a much larger, heavier tire is installed as a spare, the stock carrier can become overloaded, potentially damaging the vehicle's tailgate hinges or even failing completely. This emphasizes the importance of budgeting for an aftermarket heavy-duty tire carrier, especially for Jeeps or SUVs where the spare is mounted externally. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kgnkJRhPukk 40 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/understanding-how-to-pick-out-the-right-size-tires-rims-and-wheels-v3276031/proper-lug-nut-torque-settings-c3324935 2026-10-10T03:50:52.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kgnkJRhPukk/hqdefault.jpg Proper Lug Nut Torque Settings — Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, Rims and wheels Before hitting the road with new wheels and tires, it's critical to properly torque the lug nuts. The host demonstrates using a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified setting. For Jeeps, the recommended torque is 120 foot-pounds. This value can vary for other vehicle types: 5 and 6-lug trucks also typically use 120 foot-pounds, 8-lug trucks require 140 foot-pounds, and passenger cars are usually around 85 foot-pounds.

Examine the engine (Kawasaki FX with a heavy-duty air cleaner) and identify the starter location. Note the absence of a conventional fuel gauge, with a reserve fuel switch serving as an alternative. Inspect the battery's installation, checking if it is securely held. Pay close attention to the construction of critical moving parts, such as the deck lift mechanism, to see if shafts are welded directly into the frame. This indicates whether components are easily replaceable or if wear might necessitate a more extensive, costly repair or even frame replacement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4mSk60emlWw 203 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/bobcat-mower-testing-it-in-tall-grass-v3276038/first-reviewers-performance-test-in-short-grass-c3325586 2026-10-10T04:37:51.971Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4mSk60emlWw/hqdefault.jpg First Reviewer's Performance Test in Short Grass — Bobcat mower -Testing it in Tall grass Operate the Bob-Cat QuickCat on an area of short, maintained grass.

This test assesses the mower's power and blade performance under heavy load. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4mSk60emlWw 132 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/bobcat-mower-testing-it-in-tall-grass-v3276038/summary-of-findings-and-recommendations-c3325589 2026-10-10T04:37:51.971Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4mSk60emlWw/hqdefault.jpg Summary of Findings and Recommendations — Bobcat mower -Testing it in Tall grass After all performance tests and detailed inspections, synthesize the findings. The Bob-Cat QuickCat demonstrates excellent cut quality in both short and tall grass, even comparable to higher-priced mowers, largely due to its powerful Kawasaki FX engine. However, the controls are notably sensitive and can lead to a 'herky-jerky' operation, requiring a learning curve. Other design aspects, like the battery installation and non-replaceable welded parts in the deck lift, are identified as potential long-term concerns. Despite these points, the mower is considered a strong contender, especially for those prioritizing cut quality and capable of adapting to its unique control responsiveness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4mSk60emlWw 58 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/sema-2018-best-cars-trucks-and-heavily-modified-vehicles-at-the-show-v3276039 2026-10-10T07:17:55.710Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eLeNw3o0tSo/hqdefault.jpg Sema 2018- Best cars, trucks and heavily modified vehicles at the show This video presents a comprehensive showcase of diverse custom vehicles from the SEMA show, highlighting unique modifications, intricate designs, and innovative automotive craftsmanship across various vehicle types, including cars, trucks, and specialty builds.

This process is executed through a highly efficient combination of techniques: 1. **Small Tarp Dumping:** Workers scoop large amounts of leaves and brush from ground piles onto smaller, durable tarps. A team of two then lifts and empties these loaded tarps directly into the large tarp lining the trailer, effectively transferring dense debris. 2. **Direct Blowing:** Powerful backpack leaf blowers are continuously used to push vast volumes of lighter leaves and smaller debris directly from large ground piles into the lined trailer. 3. **In-Trailer Compaction:** As the trailer gradually fills, the leaf blowers are actively used inside the lined trailer. The air stream is directed to aggressively compact the debris, pushing it into all corners and thoroughly settling the load. This repeated compaction throughout the loading process is crucial for maximizing the trailer's capacity, allowing the team to transport significantly more yard waste in a single trip. The video repeatedly demonstrates this entire cycle of loading and compaction from various angles (e.g., from 6:13.000 to 10:14.000, and again from 13:21.000 to 15:49.000), highlighting its central role in efficient cleanup. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2AzKuikfLmE 241 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-without-the-right-tools-a-leaf-burrito-v3276044/secure-the-trailer-load-for-transport-c3331734 2026-10-10T05:40:38.833Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2AzKuikfLmE/hqdefault.jpg Secure the Trailer Load for Transport — Fall cleanup without the right tools = a LEAF Burrito Once the utility trailer is filled to its maximum capacity with compacted yard waste, the next crucial step is to securely prepare the load for safe and legal transportation. Begin by taking the excess portions of the large blue liner tarp and carefully folding them inwards and over the top of the entire debris pile, ensuring full coverage. Subsequently, use several heavy-duty ratchet straps to firmly secure this tarp-covered load to the trailer's frame and designated tie-down points. Ensure the straps are tightly tensioned and evenly distributed to prevent any material from shifting, flying out, or becoming a hazard during transit, thereby complying with all road safety regulations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2AzKuikfLmE 32 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-without-the-right-tools-a-leaf-burrito-v3276044/final-site-and-equipment-cleanup-c3331735 2026-10-10T05:40:38.833Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2AzKuikfLmE/hqdefault.jpg Final Site and Equipment Cleanup — Fall cleanup without the right tools = a LEAF Burrito After the trailer is loaded and securely fastened for transport, the final task is to perform a thorough cleanup of the entire job site to ensure the property is left immaculate.

The first is forgetting to install bump stop extensions before the coil spring, which necessitates re-doing previous work. The second, and more dangerous, mistake is prematurely disconnecting the lower control arms. For smaller lifts (e.g., 4-inch lifts), it is often unnecessary to disconnect these, and doing so risks the axle falling out of proper alignment, making reassembly difficult and potentially dangerous. For larger lifts (6-8 inches or more), it's essential to use appropriate heavy-duty jacks and ensure the axle is independently supported, completely free of the vehicle's suspension, to prevent uncontrolled movement or personal injury. https://www.youtube.com/embed/W12v_bukPU8 84 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/i-was-going-to-buy-a-chevy-work-truck-until-this-guy-talked-to-me-v3276046 2026-10-10T05:50:02.612Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-p_7OephMOM/hqdefault.jpg I was Going to Buy a Chevy Work truck- until this guy talked to me This video exposes alleged quality control and manufacturing issues within a General Motors truck plant, as reported by an anonymous employee.

Mistakes that lead to accidents. The presenter highlights a critical mistake: loading or unloading a trailer while the truck is in 'park.' He explains that the parking pawl in the transmission is not designed to withstand the dynamic forces of a heavy load shifting back and forth, which can lead to catastrophic transmission damage. The correct and safest method is to have a second person inside the truck with their foot firmly on the brake, while the truck is in neutral. If a second person is not available, the alternative is to put the truck in neutral, engage the parking brake, and then block all the truck's wheels to prevent movement. Always ensure the vehicle is on perfectly flat ground, never on a hill, to avoid dangerous situations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPmnBpQmX1g 108 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/demonstration-incorrect-loading-tongue-heavy-c3329586 2026-10-10T00:16:17.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Demonstration: Incorrect Loading (Tongue Heavy) — How Not to load a Trailer. Mistakes that lead to a The presenter demonstrates the first incorrect loading method. He instructs his helper, Franky, to load the skid steer onto the trailer while the truck remains in 'park.' As the heavy skid steer drives onto the trailer, the weight shifts forward, causing the truck's rear to visibly squat and putting immense strain on the transmission. This illustrates a 'tongue heavy' scenario where too much weight is concentrated at the front of the trailer, leading to a front-heavy load. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPmnBpQmX1g 64 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/understanding-the-death-wobble-c3329587 2026-10-10T00:16:17.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Understanding the 'Death Wobble' — How Not to load a Trailer. Mistakes that lead to accidents. The presenter moves on to the second dangerous loading scenario: the 'death wobble.' He explains that this occurs when the load is placed too far *back* on the trailer, behind the trailer axles. While this might appear to reduce stress on the truck, it creates an unstable setup. When driving, especially at speed or over bumps, this rear-heavy configuration causes the trailer to fishtail uncontrollably, which can lead to a complete loss of control for both the trailer and the truck. The presenter emphasizes that the trailer's decking behind the wheels is typically meant for light tools, not heavy equipment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPmnBpQmX1g 87 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/correct-loading-and-weight-distribution-c3329588 2026-10-10T00:16:17.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Correct Loading and Weight Distribution — How Not to load a Trailer. Mistakes that lead to accidents To correctly load the skid steer, first, ensure the truck is in neutral and a second person is holding the brake (or use the parking brake and wheel blocks on flat ground if alone). The heavy equipment should be driven onto the trailer so that the majority of its weight, specifically the engine compartment of the skid steer, is directly over the trailer's axles. This position ensures proper weight distribution, where the truck will squat slightly but not excessively, and the trailer's axles bear the primary load, allowing both the truck and trailer to work in unison for safe towing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPmnBpQmX1g 124 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/secure-the-load-with-proper-tiedowns-c3329589 2026-10-10T00:16:17.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Secure the Load with Proper Tie-Downs — How Not to load a Trailer. Mistakes that lead to accidents. Once the equipment is properly positioned on the trailer, it must be securely tied down using a 4-point tie-down system. This means securing the equipment from four different points (each corner) to the closest tie-down points on the trailer. For heavy equipment like a skid steer, use chains and chain binders. Ensure the chains are rated for the load's weight. For lighter equipment, such as mowers, specialized ratchet straps with built-in shock absorbers, like the 'ShockStrap' brand, are recommended. These straps prevent loosening due to road bumps by absorbing vibrations, unlike traditional ratchet straps that can become loose or fall off during transit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPmnBpQmX1g 302 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/manage-excess-chainstrap-c3329590 2026-10-10T00:16:17.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Manage Excess Chain/Strap — How Not to load a Trailer.

The host and engineer discuss the robust 'push frame' or 'push bar' at the front of the mulcher, constructed from heavy-gauge steel tubing (e.g., 2x4 or 2x3 inches). This frame serves to guide trees into the mulching disk, protect the machine from impacts, and allow mulched debris to slide off. They highlight the durability of the 4-inch output shaft, crucial for power transmission, and the carbide-tipped teeth on the mulching disk. These teeth are designed to be harder than most rocks, ensuring longevity, although they may be less efficient at cutting than hardened steel knife-edge teeth, which are more fragile. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrXzrcNQJcc 209 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/disc-mulcher-or-drum-mulcher-which-is-better-for-forestry-work-and-v3276053/proper-mulching-techniques-and-hazard-awareness-c3325653 2026-10-10T03:56:13.986Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HrXzrcNQJcc/hqdefault.jpg Proper Mulching Techniques and Hazard Awareness — Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher -Which is better for This step demonstrates the practical application of the disk mulcher and highlights crucial operating techniques and potential hazards. The ideal technique for mulching a tree involves approaching it at a 45-degree angle, with the mulcher disk about 6 feet off the ground, and slowly moving forward. The mulcher's rotation and teeth are designed to pull the tree into the attachment, rather than the operator forcing it. After the main tree is mulched, the disk can be lowered to grind the remaining stump. The video shows a mulcher designed for 9-inch wood encountering a 20-inch log, resulting in a jam. This illustrates the importance of understanding the equipment's capacity. A critical safety warning is given: never exit the cab while the mulcher is still rotating, as the stored energy in the disk can keep it spinning for several minutes, creating a severe safety risk. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrXzrcNQJcc 175 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/disc-mulcher-or-drum-mulcher-which-is-better-for-forestry-work-and-v3276053/address-equipment-jams-and-continuous-learning-c3325654 2026-10-10T03:56:13.986Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HrXzrcNQJcc/hqdefault.jpg Address Equipment Jams and Continuous Learning — Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher -Which is better for f The video concludes with the host acknowledging that, despite best practices, equipment can sometimes jam, as demonstrated earlier.

This makes them lightweight (a 4x8 ft sheet weighs only 20-30 lbs) yet extremely durable, able to withstand being driven over or hit with a hammer. The material is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, with a lifespan exceeding 20 years in harsh environments like Disneyland. Its flexibility allows it to be bent and twisted to create three-dimensional and curved surfaces, eliminating the need for traditional masonry skills. This makes complex rock features, like lightweight boulders and waterfalls, achievable for DIY enthusiasts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MEwRg4S4U5k 221 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/latest-and-greatest-tools-and-equipment-v3276141 2026-10-10T04:59:15.805Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Scfgm1Coa5U/hqdefault.jpg Latest and Greatest Tools and Equipment This video showcases a variety of innovative tools and equipment from the GIE+EXPO trade show, including heavy machinery, landscaping equipment, construction tools, and power tools.

The geogrid is installed horizontally behind the blocks to tie the wall into the earth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f9ziFv6Q-6k 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/retaining-wall-design-principles-geogrid-surcharge-c3329479 2026-10-10T00:16:34.369Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f9ziFv6Q-6k/hqdefault.jpg Retaining Wall Design Principles: Geogrid & Surcharge — How NOT to Build a retaining wall. RED FLAG Discuss the principles of retaining wall design, specifically when geogrid is necessary and how to determine its length. The rule of thumb for geogrid length is to match the height of the wall (e.g., a 6-foot tall wall needs 6 feet of geogrid). Geogrid layers are typically installed every 2 feet of wall height. The video also introduces the concept of 'surcharge,' which refers to any additional load placed on the soil behind the wall, such as a slope or a structure. Surcharge significantly increases the pressure on the wall, necessitating the use of geogrid even on walls under 4 feet tall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f9ziFv6Q-6k 273 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/install-drainage-aggregate-and-optional-drain-tile-c3329480 2026-10-10T00:16:34.369Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f9ziFv6Q-6k/hqdefault.jpg Install Drainage Aggregate and Optional Drain Tile — How NOT to Build a retaining wall. RED FLAGS, Constructing the retaining wall also involves integrating a proper drainage system. Place drainage aggregate (gravel) directly behind the blocks, and if desired, a perforated drain tile can be laid at the base of the wall. The video explains that for properly designed walls, drain tile is often optional as the gaps between blocks are usually sufficient for water to free-flow through the rock backfill. The drainage aggregate should extend the full length of the geogrid behind the wall, typically 12-24 inches deep. This allows any water that passes through the soil to quickly and easily flow out through the wall, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f9ziFv6Q-6k 94 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/select-and-install-appropriate-retaining-wall-blocks-c3329481 2026-10-10T00:16:34.369Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f9ziFv6Q-6k/hqdefault.jpg Select and Install Appropriate Retaining Wall Blocks — How NOT to Build a retaining wall.

He displays two Bobcat models, a T180 and an S185, both described as 'mid-sized' machines. He explains that mid-sized machines do not have a large wheelbase or frame but can handle a wide variety of tasks. While a mid-sized machine can perform almost all the work of a larger one (with some exceptions) and can access tighter spaces than a large one, a larger machine cannot access certain small areas that a mid-sized one can. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fw5nJOi7hWw 76 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/skid-steer-how-to-pick-the-best-brand-the-right-size-choose-between-v3276169/decide-between-tires-and-tracks-c3330108 2026-10-10T04:41:01.310Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fw5nJOi7hWw/hqdefault.jpg Decide Between Tires and Tracks — Skid Steer How to pick the best brand, the right size & choose bet The presenter tackles the ultimate question: tires or tracks? He demonstrates a tracked Bobcat T180 working on a steep, muddy embankment near water, highlighting that this job would not be possible without tracks, as tires would offer insufficient traction and floatation. He shows how tracks provide superior floatation and traction in soft, unstable conditions. However, he warns that dedicated tracks can damage hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete and are expensive to replace if damaged. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fw5nJOi7hWw 62 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/skid-steer-how-to-pick-the-best-brand-the-right-size-choose-between-v3276169/consider-overthetire-ott-tracks-c3330109 2026-10-10T04:41:01.310Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fw5nJOi7hWw/hqdefault.jpg Consider Over-the-Tire (OTT) Tracks — Skid Steer How to pick the best brand, the right size & choose The presenter introduces 'over-the-tire' (OTT) tracks as a solution to bridge the gap between tires and dedicated tracks. He shows a demonstration video of a Gehl 4840 skid steer with tires struggling to move through deep mud, getting stuck and spinning. He then shows the same machine with Solidseal OTT tracks, easily conquering the mud, demonstrating superior floatation and traction. While OTT tracks offer versatility by allowing the operator to convert a tired machine for muddy conditions, he warns about 'cowboying' out of them, meaning turning too fast or working on a side slope can cause the tracks to come off the tires, potentially damaging the machine. OTT tracks require good tread on the underlying tires for proper traction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fw5nJOi7hWw 224 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/skid-steer-how-to-pick-the-best-brand-the-right-size-choose-between-v3276169/acknowledge-steel-track-considerations-c3330110 2026-10-10T04:41:01.310Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fw5nJOi7hWw/hqdefault.jpg Acknowledge Steel Track Considerations — Skid Steer How to pick the best brand, the right size & cho The presenter briefly mentions steel tracks, noting they provide superior floatation, especially over tires alone.

This problem is less common with rubber tracks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fw5nJOi7hWw 23 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/skid-steer-how-to-pick-the-best-brand-the-right-size-choose-between-v3276169/final-recommendation-and-recap-c3330111 2026-10-10T04:41:01.310Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fw5nJOi7hWw/hqdefault.jpg Final Recommendation and Recap — Skid Steer How to pick the best brand, the right size & choose betw To recap, the presenter reiterates the key takeaways: first, prioritize a good local dealer over a specific brand, as good service is critical. Second, for versatility, choose a mid-frame sized machine, which can handle both larger tasks and tight spaces. Finally, if you're getting one machine, opt for a tired mid-frame skid steer and add a set of rubber over-the-tire tracks. This combination allows for floatation in difficult conditions (like mud) while still being removable for hard surfaces or demolition, offering the best of both worlds. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fw5nJOi7hWw 64 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Seed Or Sod?

Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips When laying new sod, it is crucial to cut an edge where the new sod will meet the existing lawn. This ensures that the thickness of the new sod sits level with the existing sod, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing transition. If an edge is not cut, the new sod will be noticeably raised above the surrounding lawn, appearing uneven and 'ugly'. For optimal growth, consider digging the area a bit deeper to add a layer of black dirt underneath the sod, enriching the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzPhPQHFZIs 60 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/optimal-timing-for-laying-sod-spring-or-fall-c3331883 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Optimal Timing for Laying Sod (Spring or Fall) — Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-T The best times to lay sod are early spring or late fall. Fall is particularly advantageous because sod can be laid when it's dormant, potentially in October, November, or even December. This allows the sod to remain dormant without requiring immediate watering or maintenance. When spring arrives and the snow melts, the sod automatically receives water, and subsequent spring rains will handle the remaining maintenance, resulting in a thriving lawn with minimal effort. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzPhPQHFZIs 93 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/avoid-summer-sod-installation-and-monitor-soil-temperature-c3331884 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Summer Sod Installation and Monitor Soil Temperature — Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your Avoid laying sod in July or August, during the scorching heat of summer. High temperatures can quickly burn and bake the sod, making it difficult for it to establish. If you must lay sod during this period, use a digital thermometer to check the soil temperature beneath the sod, aiming for cool and moist conditions. A heavy watering schedule (heavier than in spring or fall) will be necessary to keep the sod cool, moist, and alive during summer. The digital thermometer is also effective for soil temperatures when using seed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzPhPQHFZIs 63 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/optimal-timing-and-density-for-seeding-c3331885 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Optimal Timing and Density for Seeding — Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips Similar to sod, the best times to lay grass seed are in the spring or fall. However, ground temperature is even more crucial for seed. Use a digital thermometer to check the ground temperature; it must read 50 degrees Fahrenheit or more for proper germination. Laying seed on snow (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit) will likely result in the seed being eaten by birds. Also, be mindful of seed density: too dense seeding is worse than too thin, as overcrowded seeds will compete and kill each other off, leaving brown areas. It's always easier to reseed thin areas than to fix overly dense patches. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzPhPQHFZIs 81 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/blend-lawn-colors-with-overseeding-c3331886 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Blend Lawn Colors with Overseeding — Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips When combining existing grass with new sod or seed, a noticeable color difference (a 'line of demarcation') can appear, as sod typically has a dark, vibrant green hue. To eliminate this, overseed both the new and existing areas with the same grass seed. This allows the seeds to blend and 'cross over' (cross-germinate or cross-pollinate), gradually balancing the colors for a more uniform appearance across your entire lawn. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzPhPQHFZIs 49 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/select-the-appropriate-grass-seed-mix-c3331887 2026-10-10T00:16:36.439Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Select the Appropriate Grass Seed Mix — Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips When selecting grass seed, consider your lawn's sunlight conditions (sun, shade, or a mix). 'Turf Champ' offers Sunny Grass Seed and Shade Grass Seed. If your lawn has varied conditions, a 'Landscaper's Mix' is ideal. These mixes combine different grass types (like bluegrass, ryegrass, and fine fescues) to thrive in various light conditions, including full sun to light shade. Check the product features on the bag for details like 'Fast Starting', 'Durable Wearing', and 'Blends well with other Grasses'.

This cut should be approximately one-third of the way into the tree's diameter. Then, make the top cut of the hinge, angling downwards to meet the bottom cut, forming a wedge. Finally, make a 'backside cut' on the opposite side of the tree, at the same height as the bottom cut of your hinge. It is crucial to leave a small amount of wood between the backside cut and the hinge cuts to act as a 'holding wood' or 'hinge' which guides the tree's fall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/V15PK_wzne0 62 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-cut-down-a-tree-6-common-mistakes-v3276171/common-tree-felling-mistakes-c3331891 2026-10-10T04:36:58.433Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V15PK_wzne0/hqdefault.jpg Common Tree Felling Mistakes — How NOT to cut down a tree -6 common Mistakes The presenter demonstrates several common mistakes during tree felling. Mistake #1 is using a chainsaw that is too large for the job, making it unwieldy and difficult to control. Mistake #2 is holding the chainsaw upside down for the top hinge cut, which reduces control and increases the risk of kickback. Mistake #3 involves improper PPE, such as not properly wearing hearing protection or failing to wear chainsaw chaps. Mistake #4 is making the backside cut too high, which can cause the tree to fall unpredictably or 'barber chair.' Mistake #5 is operating the chainsaw with only one hand, losing crucial control and increasing the risk of severe injury. Finally, Mistake #6 shows pushing over a partially cut tree, which is extremely dangerous as the tree's fall direction is not fully controlled by the hinge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/V15PK_wzne0 149 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-cut-down-a-tree-6-common-mistakes-v3276171/addressing-viewer-feedback-and-future-content-teaser-c3331892 2026-10-10T04:36:58.433Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V15PK_wzne0/hqdefault.jpg Addressing Viewer Feedback and Future Content Teaser — How NOT to cut down a tree -6 common Mistakes After demonstrating the mistakes, the video briefly returns to the two hosts commenting on viewer feedback, particularly focusing on 'hate mail' about their previous tree felling video.

This approach applies to various projects such as sod installation, paver patios, grading, mulching, plantings, demolition, land clearing, tree work, and turf care. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ly8uqDcA43o 207 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/determine-daily-overhead-rate-c3329994 2026-10-10T04:00:20.312Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ly8uqDcA43o/hqdefault.jpg Determine Daily Overhead Rate — How to charge for Landscaping, Retaining walls, Patios and Outdoor C To accurately factor overhead into each job, first determine your total annual overhead. This involves taking last year's total business expenses and subtracting all material costs and all direct labor costs. The remaining figure is your total annual overhead. Next, identify the number of days your crew *actually worked on job sites* last year. Do not include office days or days not actively engaged in billable project work. Divide your total annual overhead by this number of on-site working days to calculate your daily overhead rate. This daily rate represents the amount of overhead you need to recover each day you work on a project. Overhead includes expenses like rent, insurance, office supplies, fuel, repair, and even work clothes, as well as equipment like a tractor, skid loader, trailer, and attachments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ly8uqDcA43o 169 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/project-decomposition-and-variable-identification-c3329995 2026-10-10T04:00:20.312Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ly8uqDcA43o/hqdefault.jpg Project Decomposition and Variable Identification — How to charge for Landscaping, Retaining walls, For every new project, meticulously break it down into its individual tasks and identify all variables that will influence materials, labor, and overhead. This involves assessing factors like the quantity of materials needed (e.g., number of retaining wall blocks, cubic feet of soil, or type of pea gravel), the estimated time for each task, and potential access challenges due to existing structures like fences or decks. Look for details specific to the job, such as existing bushes or grading issues like a swale, as these will affect material removal and labor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ly8uqDcA43o 148 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/account-for-labor-and-access-c3329996 2026-10-10T04:00:20.312Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ly8uqDcA43o/hqdefault.jpg Account for Labor and Access — How to charge for Landscaping, Retaining walls, Patios and Outdoor Co After identifying materials, estimate the labor required for each task. Crucially, consider site access. Poor access often necessitates more manual labor, increasing the overall time and cost of the project. If heavy equipment (like a mini-excavator) cannot be used efficiently due to obstacles (such as existing fences, decks, or steep grades), labor hours will increase significantly. For example, needing to hand-carry materials or manually excavate with shovels and wheelbarrows will increase labor costs compared to using a mini-excavator. This increased labor directly impacts not only hourly wages but also the duration the project will incur daily overhead. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ly8uqDcA43o 108 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/implement-microchanges-and-offer-tiered-bids-c3329997 2026-10-10T04:00:20.312Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ly8uqDcA43o/hqdefault.jpg Implement Micro-Changes and Offer Tiered Bids — How to charge for Landscaping, Retaining walls, Pati Small adjustments to your project plan, known as 'micro-changes,' can significantly impact profitability. By analyzing material, labor, and overhead components, you can identify areas for optimization. For instance, if removing a section of fence allows for the efficient use of equipment, thereby reducing labor and total project time, it can lead to substantial cost savings. Offer clients tiered bids: one reflecting their original request (potentially higher cost due to restrictions, e.g., $12,000 to save sod and avoid disturbing the yard) and another demonstrating your optimized approach (potentially lower cost or offering added value, e.g., $10,300 using equipment with more disturbance).

What you Need to know to The video begins with an introduction to the project, which aims to teach viewers how to operate an excavator. The host emphasizes that he has operated excavators for 27 years without formal training, but for this series, he has brought in an expert, Danny from Volvo, who formally teaches excavator operation. The goal is to make viewers familiar and comfortable enough with the machine to operate it safely without harming themselves, others, or the equipment. Danny will outline the main components of the excavator that operators need to be familiar with. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/identify-key-excavator-components-c3324972 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Identify Key Excavator Components — How to run an Excavator for Beginners. What you Need to know to Danny identifies the key exterior components of the Volvo EC140EL excavator. Starting from the front, he points out the boom arm, the stick, and the bucket. He then moves to the undercarriage, which consists of the X-frame, tracks, and idlers (smooth sprockets at the front). Danny explains that the machine is designed to be used over the idlers for digging due to reinforcement in the front for digging purposes. He also highlights the drive motors (sprockets at the rear), noting that the rear has more weight (counterweight) for stability. Understanding the location of the idlers is crucial because it indicates the front of the machine, which is the reinforced digging side, while the back has the drive motors. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 68 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/check-internal-components-and-fluid-levels-c3324973 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Check Internal Components and Fluid Levels — How to run an Excavator for Beginners.

What you Need to The host explains that excavators can have different control patterns: SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization). He uses the analogy of driving a stick shift car in different countries to illustrate how changing patterns can lead to confusion and potential accidents. He advises new operators to stick with one pattern and become proficient. Danny recommends starting with the ISO pattern because it is a globally recognized and widely used standard. He then demonstrates how to switch between SAE and ISO patterns using a lever located under a cover near the cab entrance. This lever allows you to select your desired control pattern. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 102 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/understand-the-hydraulic-lockout-safety-lever-c3324975 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Understand the Hydraulic Lockout Safety Lever — How to run an Excavator for Beginners. What you Nee Before entering the cab, Danny points out a crucial safety feature: a large red safety lever that acts as a hydraulic lockout. When this lever is in the down position, it locks out all hydraulic controls, making them inoperable even if the engine is running. This allows operators to safely enter and exit the cab without accidentally activating any machine functions. When the lever is in the up position, the hydraulic controls become active. The host emphasizes that this lever should always be engaged (in the down position) whenever someone approaches the machine or when the operator is not actively controlling it, to prevent accidental movements that could injure personnel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 89 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/basic-joystick-controls-iso-pattern-c3324976 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Basic Joystick Controls (ISO Pattern) — How to run an Excavator for Beginners.

For the left joystick: pushing it forward extends the stick, pulling it back retracts the stick, moving it left rotates the cab to the left, and moving it right rotates the cab to the right. For the right joystick: pulling it back lifts the boom, pushing it forward lowers the boom, moving it left curls the bucket in (holding material), and moving it right dumps the material out of the bucket. These controls are basic on all excavators, but patterns may vary. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 100 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/understand-power-modes-c3324977 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Understand Power Modes — How to run an Excavator for Beginners. What you Need to know to get starte Danny explains the different power modes available on the Volvo excavator, controlled by a dial on the right side panel: 'I' for idle/warm-up, 'F' for fine grading/lifting (requiring slow, precise movements), 'G' for general loading/everyday applications, and 'H' for heavy work (maximum flow for breaking through hard material). He notes that in 'H' mode, you have a lot of flow but not max pressure, whereas pressing a button on the joystick provides a 9-second burst of high pressure ('turbo mode') to break through tough materials, after which it reverts to high flow. Operators should choose the appropriate mode for the task to optimize performance and efficiency. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 40 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/track-controls-and-climbing-hills-c3324978 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Track Controls and Climbing Hills — How to run an Excavator for Beginners. What you Need to know to Danny demonstrates how to control the excavator's tracks for movement and climbing. The tracks can be operated using two foot pedals or by manipulating the joysticks. Pushing both pedals/joysticks forward moves the machine forward, and pulling them back moves it backward. To turn, move one track forward while keeping the other steady. When climbing steep grades, it is crucial to orient the machine with the track motors (sprockets) at the front, as this part of the machine is weighted and reinforced for stability. The boom and stick should be kept low and extended in front of the machine, close to the hill, to shift weight forward and prevent tipping. For very steep grades, scooping some material into the bucket and extending it forward can further help to keep the front end down, acting as a counterweight. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kUs6G5iBGP0 139 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-run-an-excavator-for-beginners-what-you-need-to-know-to-get-v3276181/conclusion-and-further-training-c3324979 2026-10-10T04:08:41.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kUs6G5iBGP0/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Further Training — How to run an Excavator for Beginners.

First, an excessive amount of bedding sand (more than 1 inch) or improperly compacted bedding sand allows for shifting, causing adjacent pavers to lift when pressure is applied to one side. The ideal depth for bedding sand is 3/4 inch, which can be achieved by using a 3/4-inch plastic PVC pipe or a galvanized/steel pipe as a screed rail during installation. Second, vertical failure can result from poorly prepared subsoil or an inadequately compacted base material, leading to depressions and uneven surfaces. Proper compaction of the raw dirt and the imported base material is crucial, with a minimum base depth of 6 inches for a driveway, and ideally 8 to 10 inches for optimal performance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AuoTNvxH5hc 180 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-with-pavers-why-they-fail-diy-your-own-successful-v3276182/prevent-horizontal-failure-with-proper-edge-restraint-c3325477 2026-10-10T06:07:38.418Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AuoTNvxH5hc/hqdefault.jpg Prevent Horizontal Failure with Proper Edge Restraint — How NOT to Build with Pavers- Why They FAIL Horizontal paver failure occurs when pavers slide off the edge of the installed area. This is a crucial area where proper edge restraint is essential. Unlike typical landscaping edging, which is flexible, paver patios and driveways require a rigid edge restraint designed to be secured with steel spikes. These spikes, when driven into the ground, will rust over time, creating a strong, weld-like bond that permanently locks the pavers in place. Using concrete or asphalt as an edge restraint is strongly discouraged, as they are rigid and will crack, ultimately failing to contain the pavers. Furthermore, a plastic edge restraint allows for vegetation to grow up to the patio, unlike concrete which heats up and can inhibit plant growth. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AuoTNvxH5hc 124 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-with-pavers-why-they-fail-diy-your-own-successful-v3276182/prevent-rotational-failure-with-proper-joint-sand-c3325478 2026-10-10T06:07:38.418Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AuoTNvxH5hc/hqdefault.jpg Prevent Rotational Failure with Proper Joint Sand — How NOT to Build with Pavers- Why They FAIL! *D Rotational paver failure occurs when pavers shift from side to side, disrupting the aesthetic and structural integrity of the installation. This is primarily caused by the loss of joint sand, which is the sand that fills the spaces between individual pavers and prevents lateral movement. To combat this, regular maintenance by replenishing standard joint sand is necessary. However, a more durable and less maintenance-intensive solution is to use polymeric sand. Polymeric sand is designed to last longer than traditional joint sand and significantly reduces wash-out, providing superior, longer-lasting results and preventing the disorganization of your paver surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AuoTNvxH5hc 59 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-with-pavers-why-they-fail-diy-your-own-successful-v3276182/summary-of-failure-types-and-prevention-importance-c3325479 2026-10-10T06:07:38.418Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AuoTNvxH5hc/hqdefault.jpg Summary of Failure Types and Prevention Importance — How NOT to Build with Pavers- Why They FAIL! * The video concludes by reiterating the three types of paver failures: horizontal, vertical, and rotational.

For efficient and mess-free greasing, consider using a Milwaukee cordless grease gun equipped with a quick-release grease coupler. This coupler allows for easy attachment and detachment from grease zerks, preventing grease from leaking around the fitting. Apply marine-grade grease, which is ideal for winter conditions as it resists moisture and corrosion, or a high-quality all-purpose grease. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceakJ1ZJK2s 68 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/protecting-electrical-connections-with-dielectric-grease-c3325510 2026-10-10T04:06:43.218Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ceakJ1ZJK2s/hqdefault.jpg Protecting Electrical Connections with Dielectric Grease — 36 years of Heavy Equipment, Landscape & Protect critical electrical connections from corrosion and ensure optimal conductivity by applying dielectric grease. This is particularly important for battery terminals, snowplow electrical connections, and trailer connectors, which are exposed to harsh weather and road salts. First, clean any existing corrosion or dirt from the connections. Then, apply a generous amount of dielectric grease (such as Lube-All) directly onto the terminals and into the electrical plugs before reconnecting them. This non-conductive grease forms a protective barrier against moisture and contamination without interfering with electrical flow. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceakJ1ZJK2s 104 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/specialized-lubrication-for-nongreaseable-parts-c3325511 2026-10-10T04:06:43.218Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ceakJ1ZJK2s/hqdefault.jpg Specialized Lubrication for Non-Greaseable Parts — 36 years of Heavy Equipment, Landscape & Construc For areas on equipment that lack traditional grease zerks but still have moving parts susceptible to wear, use specialized lubricants. For instance, on snowplow wings that experience constant in-and-out motion and exposure to corrosive environments, apply a 'sticky lubricant' like WD-40 Specialist Gel Lube. This product adheres well and resists washout. For other non-greasable moving components, especially those exposed to moisture and salt, use a long-lasting corrosion inhibitor like WD-40 Specialist Long-Lasting Corrosion Inhibitor. Ensure the lubricant penetrates the moving joints by spraying directly into hinges and pivot points, even if they appear inaccessible. Move the parts after initial application to help the lubricant work its way in, then apply a second time for thorough coverage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceakJ1ZJK2s 151 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/perform-routine-fluid-and-filter-checks-c3325512 2026-10-10T04:06:43.218Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ceakJ1ZJK2s/hqdefault.jpg Perform Routine Fluid and Filter Checks — 36 years of Heavy Equipment, Landscape & Construction mach Before starting heavy equipment for the day, perform quick daily checks on essential components.

The dam The creator gathers his employees, Tim and another individual, around the SnowWolf QuattroPlow to provide hands-on training on proper operation. He explains that unlike simple 'plug and play' plows, the QuattroPlow with its articulating wings has a learning curve. The critical instruction is to avoid applying too much downward pressure. Operators should only apply enough pressure to slightly lift the front tires of the skid steer off the ground, ensuring the plow is flush with the ground and not grinding the asphalt. He stresses the importance of monitoring the cutting edges for wear, demonstrating by pointing to the edge and explaining that once it starts wearing into the main moldboard, the plow is effectively 'dead.' He cites a previous incident where an employee, Tim, immediately stopped a TLB after noticing a hydraulic hose leak, preventing further damage, to illustrate the importance of quick observation and action.

This stark difference highlights the durability issue of Western blades under comparable (or even less) stress. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCuzmVay11c 98 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-after-13-years-plagued-with-problems-v3276193/confirmation-of-cheaper-steel-and-aftermarket-solution-c3329621 2026-10-10T04:51:36.480Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oCuzmVay11c/hqdefault.jpg Confirmation of Cheaper Steel and Aftermarket Solution — Western Snow Plow Review after 13 years - P The creator replays the earlier phone conversation with Greg, a steel wholesaler, who reiterates that Western snow plows are supplied with 'cheaper steel cutting edges'. This wholesaler supplies various plow brands including Western, Boss, Hiniker, and Curtis. Greg claims that Western is intentionally providing lower-grade steel to increase sales of replacement cutting edges. The creator then shows footage of a skid steer operating with a snow plow, emphasizing the constant need for durable cutting edges in such operations. He expresses his plan to have aftermarket cutting edges installed on his Western plows to conduct his own durability test. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCuzmVay11c 243 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-after-13-years-plagued-with-problems-v3276193/plow-controller-comparison-c3329622 2026-10-10T04:51:36.480Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oCuzmVay11c/hqdefault.jpg Plow Controller Comparison — Western Snow Plow Review after 13 years - Plagued with Problems The creator shifts focus to snow plow controllers, specifically comparing the Western controller with a Hiniker V-plow controller. He expresses strong dislike for the Western controller, finding its multiple buttons confusing and noting issues with its 'float' function, which requires holding the button for an extended period to activate. In contrast, he praises the Hiniker controller's simplicity, featuring only two buttons and a thumb joystick with a distinct 'detent' for immediate float activation, making it more intuitive and less prone to errors during long shifts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCuzmVay11c 156 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-after-13-years-plagued-with-problems-v3276193/conclusion-and-recommendations-c3329623 2026-10-10T04:51:36.480Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oCuzmVay11c/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Recommendations — Western Snow Plow Review after 13 years - Plagued with Problems The creator concludes by summarizing his main criticisms of Western snow plows: the prematurely wearing cutting edges (which he believes is intentional to increase sales) and the poorly designed controller. He re-emphasizes that aside from these two aspects, the Western plow itself is robust. He advises viewers who are set on buying a Western plow to consider purchasing it without a cutting edge and then investing in a more durable aftermarket cutting edge from a different manufacturer, and to be aware of the frustrating controller design. He invites viewers to share their own experiences and opinions on plow brands and issues in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCuzmVay11c 104 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping company NEEDS This video provides valuable insights and advice for individuals and businesses involved in landscaping and excavation on how to make informed decisions about purchasing, utilizing, and managing heavy equipment.

He advises against fixating on specific brands like Case, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kobelco, or Volvo, as all major manufacturers produce high-quality machinery. Instead, he stresses the critical importance of evaluating the service dealer in one's area. A reliable dealer offering fair treatment, competitive pricing, and efficient repair services is paramount, as even the best equipment will eventually require maintenance. He shares a personal experience where an exceptional Kobelco dealer led him to purchase multiple machines from that brand, despite his prior preference for Case. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 96 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194/new-vs-used-equipment-acquisition-strategy-c3329771 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg New vs. Used Equipment Acquisition Strategy — Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping comp This section delves into the decision of buying new versus used heavy equipment. Purchasing new equipment often comes with attractive financing options and a warranty, providing peace of mind and protection against unexpected repairs. However, new equipment immediately depreciates once driven off the lot. Buying used equipment, on the other hand, can create instant equity if acquired at the right price, allowing businesses to potentially sell it later for the same or even a higher amount. Used equipment can also be a more cost-effective choice for crews who might be less meticulous with machinery. The creator highlights an example of a Daewoo excavator with a grapple, which he bought specifically for a large boulder retaining wall project and planned to sell the excavator for the same price after removing the grapple, effectively getting 'free' use of the excavator and retaining a valuable attachment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 167 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194/leveraging-equipment-for-free-use-c3329772 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg Leveraging Equipment for Free Use — Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping company NEEDS The creator illustrates the concept of leveraging equipment for free use by purchasing a machine for a specific project and then selling it after completion for the same price (or retaining a valuable attachment). He demonstrates this with his Daewoo Solar 75V excavator, which he bought with a grapple attachment for a large boulder retaining wall project. His goal was to finish the project, remove the $20,000 grapple, and sell the excavator for the initial purchase price, essentially getting the excavator's use for free. Although his plans changed and he kept the excavator due to a 'love-hate' relationship and more boulder work, he highlights this as a viable strategy for others. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 87 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194/rightsizing-equipment-for-projects-c3329773 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg Right-Sizing Equipment for Projects — Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping company NEED The video discusses the importance of choosing the right size equipment for your projects. Having a machine that is too large can be more detrimental than one that is too small, as oversized equipment may not fit into confined spaces, making it entirely useless. A smaller machine, while potentially slower, can still complete the job. For most landscaping companies, an 18,000-pound excavator is presented as an ideal 'happy medium.' This size is capable of handling a wide range of tasks, including demolishing houses and swimming pools, building boulder retaining walls, and digging footings. It's versatile enough for most common jobs without being too cumbersome for typical residential or commercial sites. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 79 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194/renting-vs-owning-equipment-c3329774 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg Renting vs. Owning Equipment — Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping company NEEDS The final section contrasts renting and owning heavy equipment. Renting equipment is 100% tax-deductible, offering a significant financial advantage. It also provides the flexibility to try out various machine sizes and types for different projects without the commitment and risk of ownership. The key takeaway is that when renting, the equipment should always be generating revenue, not simply incurring costs. This allows businesses to test the waters and find the perfect fit before making a substantial investment, ensuring that every rented piece of equipment contributes directly to profitability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 69 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/excavators-one-of-the-top-4-tools-a-landscaping-company-needs-v3276194/skill-over-equipment-c3329775 2026-10-10T04:15:24.601Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYGzg0zY0oY/hqdefault.jpg Skill Over Equipment — Excavators - One of the Top 4 tools a landscaping company NEEDS In conclusion, the video emphasizes that the best equipment operators are defined by their skill and ingenuity, not by the fanciness of their machinery. Operators who learn to maximize the potential of basic tools, like a standard dirt bucket, develop superior skills. It is encouraged to start with minimal attachments to foster creativity and problem-solving abilities. Once proficiency is gained with basic tools, upgrading to more advanced attachments becomes even more impactful. The ultimate message is to be proud of whatever equipment you can afford and focus on developing the skills that truly pay the bills, rather than relying on bells and whistles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xYGzg0zY0oY 62 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/brutal-work-boot-review-no-way-would-i-buy-these-boots-v3276195 2026-10-10T04:16:20.608Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cPK0De4eUZA/hqdefault.jpg Brutal Work Boot Review- No way would I buy these Boots This video documents a comprehensive personal review and testing process for Keen Mount Vernon work boots in extreme cold and wet winter conditions.

Install these perimeter boards first, ensuring they overhang the substructure by 1.5 inches. This overhang allows for the later attachment of a fascia board, which will reduce the final overhang to a standard 0.75 inches, creating a finished look. Use an impact driver and appropriate screws (like GRK Fin/Trim Trim Head Screws) to secure these boards to the deck frame. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EmeHmRjeL_Q 63 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/diy-how-to-build-a-deck-step-by-step-guide-to-composite-decks-pt2-of-v3276202/conceal-exposed-screws-on-decking-c3325047 2026-10-10T04:29:37.927Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EmeHmRjeL_Q/hqdefault.jpg Conceal Exposed Screws on Decking — DIY How to build a Deck - Step by Step Guide to Composite decks For any visible screws on the picture frame boards, use a specific technique to conceal them. First, drive the screw flush with the surface of the composite board using an impact driver. Then, use the 'pinch and pull' method: use a hammer to gently tap the material around the screw head, pushing as much composite material back into the hole as possible. Finally, use a heat gun (not a torch, as a torch will damage and discolor the material) to carefully melt the composite material over the screw head.

This prevents the boards from 'floating' or feeling squishy, ensuring a solid and stable surface. These nailers are typically cut from scrap wood (e.g., 2x8s ripped down) to fit snugly between the existing joists, providing a solid anchor point for the decking screws. Ensure all nailers are installed correctly before laying the main field of decking. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EmeHmRjeL_Q 1169 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/diy-how-to-build-a-deck-step-by-step-guide-to-composite-decks-pt2-of-v3276202/install-hidden-fastener-system-for-decking-c3325053 2026-10-10T04:29:37.927Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EmeHmRjeL_Q/hqdefault.jpg Install Hidden Fastener System for Decking — DIY How to build a Deck - Step by Step Guide to Compos For a standard deck, hidden fasteners are typically used to create a clean surface without visible screws.

One option is to purchase pre-cut stair stringers, which are typically uniform in size (e.g., 7 inches in rise, as shown). Alternatively, you can cut your own stringers from lumber. Regardless of the method, ensure that all stringers are perfectly level and consistent in rise and run. For composite stairs, the stair treads themselves can be picture-framed, similar to the deck surface, using mitered composite boards to create a finished look, rather than just butting them together. This will require cutting the composite to fit around the stringer's profile and securing it to the stringer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EmeHmRjeL_Q 889 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/idiot-proof-do-it-yourself-deck-build-step-by-step-guide-to-composite-v3276203 2026-10-10T03:37:02.504Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sUB3xXhFpjg/hqdefault.jpg "Idiot Proof" Do it Yourself Deck Build - Step by Step Guide to Composite decks pt1 This project details the construction of a large composite deck, covering everything from demolition and site preparation to framing and structural reinforcement.

This prevents snow from being pushed back onto newly cleared sidewalks by the plow truck. The presenter emphasizes that if sidewalks are not cleared initially, shovellers will inevitably push snow back into the plowed areas, creating more work. When clearing, use a snow shovel to remove snow from the sidewalks and move it away from the main plowing area. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 108 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/plow-with-feel-along-edges-c3325321 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Plow with 'Feel' Along Edges — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck When plowing alongside curbs, objects, or grass, it is crucial to 'feel' the edge with the plow blade. This means approaching slowly and carefully, allowing the blade to gently touch the edge without slamming into it. The video demonstrates this technique, showing the blade subtly engaging the curb. This method helps avoid damaging the curb, grass, or sprinkler heads and minimizes the amount of snow that might spill back onto the cleared area. While a little hand touch-up might be needed afterward, it's more efficient than damaging property or having to re-plow large sections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 260 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/understand-drainage-patterns-c3325322 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Understand Drainage Patterns — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck When designing your plowing pattern, always consider the drainage of the parking lot. Identify where the storm sewer inlets are located. Pile snow away from these openings. If snow is piled over drainage inlets, it will melt, causing water to run across the parking lot and potentially flash freeze, creating dangerous icy conditions. The presenter illustrates a parking lot where the drainage was altered because an existing building blocked the original drainage outlet. The goal is to contain the snow as close to where it will melt as possible without impeding drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/use-correct-gear-for-plowing-c3325323 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Use Correct Gear for Plowing — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck It is crucial to travel in the correct gear when plowing. For most heavy snow plowing operations with a skid loader, always use first gear (turtle mode). This provides maximum power and control, reducing the impact if you hit an obstruction. Traveling in second gear (rabbit mode), especially when hitting an object, can cause severe damage to the equipment, potentially knocking the entire door off the front of the skid loader. For a plow truck, utilize 4-high for most plowing, and only use 4-low in extreme situations to maximize torque and prevent wear on the transmission. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/mark-obstructions-before-season-starts-c3325324 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Mark Obstructions Before Season Starts — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck Prior to the snow plowing season, it is highly recommended to mark all potential obstructions in the parking lot. Use orange flags to clearly identify curbs, islands, manholes, sprinkler heads, or any other features that might be hidden under snow. This is especially important for the first big snowfall of the season, as deep snow can completely obscure these obstacles. Marking helps prevent costly damage to the plow, the vehicle, and the property. When plowing, be aware of manholes, as they can cause significant damage if hit at speed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 80 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/understand-plow-features-trip-edge-c3325325 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Understand Plow Features (Trip Edge) — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck Snow plow trucks with V-plows, like the Western MVP3, often have a 'trip edge' feature designed to save the plow and operator from severe impact when hitting an obstruction. This feature allows the bottom edge of the blade to pivot backward and over the obstruction, reducing the force of the collision. Skid loaders, however, typically have zero trip edge tolerance, meaning any impact with an obstruction is absorbed directly by the machine, often leading to damage. The presenter demonstrates how the V-plow can be angled to direct snow away from the truck while back-dragging, which is useful when working near parked cars. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 135 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/when-you-let-a-snowplowing-noob-in-the-seat-of-the-truck-v3276206/backdragging-and-straightline-push-techniques-c3325326 2026-10-10T04:44:32.895Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkNnCk52i1c/hqdefault.jpg Back-Dragging and Straight-Line Push Techniques — When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the When back-dragging next to a parked car, angle the V-plow's far blade inward towards the truck. This ensures that the snow is directed away from the car, preventing it from 'flopping and rolling' onto the vehicle. When performing straight-line pushes, if you need to stop and collect more snow, clear a spot with the plow first. This allows you to back up and drop the plow onto a clear surface, ensuring a clean and complete push. Not clearing a spot before stopping can create 'rivulets' or small trails of unplowed snow, indicating inefficiency. https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkNnCk52i1c 227 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/does-milwaukee-tools-have-a-chance-v3276207 2026-10-10T00:16:45.758Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wN0ydW67FEw/hqdefault.jpg Does Milwaukee tools have a chance..

He explains that an 'Ecosystem Pond' (7 ft by 9 ft with a cascading waterfall) starts at $5,999 installed (or $120/month financing). This basic pond can be installed in 30 man-hours, generating approximately $4,000 in profit. He then shows a slightly larger 'Ecosystem Pond with Waterfall and Stream' (7 ft by 9 ft with a 6-7 ft stream) priced at $7,499 installed (or $150/month), which also maintains a 50% gross profit margin.

He highlights a larger 'Bullfrog Ecosystem Pond' (10 ft by 14 ft) with a 7-foot stream, starting at $8,999 installed (or $180/month). He mentions that while some might go for a very large $24,999 pond (or $500/month), which takes 40-50 man-hours, it's actually harder to make a 50% profit margin on these larger, more complex projects than on smaller ones. He cautions against 'going too big too fast,' emphasizing that the highest profit margins (up to $253 per man-hour for standard installations) are often found in smaller, more repeatable jobs, contrasting this with lower per-hour revenue in traditional landscaping sectors like design/build ($51/hour), commercial maintenance ($36/hour), residential maintenance ($40/hour), and irrigation ($57/hour). https://www.youtube.com/embed/rajVxPctvV0 206 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/ponds-the-biggest-money-in-landscaping-v3276211/inspiring-success-stories-c3329870 2026-10-10T05:28:09.979Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rajVxPctvV0/hqdefault.jpg Inspiring Success Stories — Ponds - The Biggest Money in landscaping The host then introduces Carl, a successful pond contractor who started with 'literally nothing' two and a half years prior.

Non-ethanol blended fuel lasts slightly longer, approximately 90 days from manufacturing. By the time it reaches your equipment, its usable life is significantly shorter. Therefore, storing fuel for the season without treatment will lead to degradation, separation, and potential damage to your engine components. A fuel stabilizer is almost mandatory for any long-term storage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ok-xiurreVc 65 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-winterize-store-equipment-what-most-people-dont-know-v3276216/stabilize-fuel-and-circulate-through-system-c3326026 2026-10-10T00:16:48.153Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ok-xiurreVc/hqdefault.jpg Stabilize Fuel and Circulate Through System — How to Winterize & Store Equipment- What Most People D To properly stabilize your fuel, it's essential to mix the fuel stabilizer, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer Storage formula, into your fresh gasoline *before* adding it to your equipment. Pour the recommended amount of fuel stabilizer directly into your gasoline can, then fill the can with gasoline. This method ensures the stabilizer is thoroughly mixed. Once the stabilized fuel is prepared, pour it into the fuel tank of the equipment you intend to store. After filling, start the equipment and run it for at least 5 minutes. This operating time is crucial for the stabilized fuel to circulate throughout the entire fuel system, including the carburetor, fuel lines, and fuel filter, ensuring all components are protected. Do not add the stabilizer directly to the equipment's fuel tank without pre-mixing, as it may not distribute evenly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ok-xiurreVc 54 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-winterize-store-equipment-what-most-people-dont-know-v3276216/fill-fuel-tanks-to-capacity-c3326027 2026-10-10T00:16:48.153Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ok-xiurreVc/hqdefault.jpg Fill Fuel Tanks to Capacity — How to Winterize & Store Equipment- What Most People DONT KNOW After stabilizing the fuel and running the engine, ensure the fuel tank is filled as completely as possible with the freshly stabilized gasoline. This minimizes the air space inside the tank. Leaving a significant amount of air in the fuel tank, particularly during fluctuating temperatures, can lead to condensation forming over the storage period. This condensation introduces water into your fuel, which can cause corrosion and prevent the engine from starting properly in the spring. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ok-xiurreVc 13 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-winterize-store-equipment-what-most-people-dont-know-v3276216/clean-equipment-thoroughly-c3326028 2026-10-10T00:16:48.153Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ok-xiurreVc/hqdefault.jpg Clean Equipment Thoroughly — How to Winterize & Store Equipment- What Most People DONT KNOW Before storing any power equipment for the season, thoroughly clean it of all debris.

During these cooler months, sod goes dormant and does not actively grow new roots, allowing it to acclimate without the stress of immediate root development. In the spring, when the ground thaws, the dormant sod will awaken and rapidly develop new roots with minimal maintenance required. Conversely, the worst time to lay sod is mid-summer (July and August) due to hot, dry weather, which can cause sod to 'cook' and die within 24 hours if not kept constantly moist. Laying sod in mid-summer requires vigilant, all-day watering to ensure its survival. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AgpjFBZwdxg 57 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-sod-mistakes-things-you-dont-know-how-to-do-it-right-v3276220/proper-sod-handling-and-storage-c3329630 2026-10-10T04:17:28.733Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AgpjFBZwdxg/hqdefault.jpg Proper Sod Handling and Storage — How to Install Sod - MISTAKES - Things you Don't know & How to do When receiving sod, especially as a 'Do It Yourselfer' (DIYer), it's important to know how long it remains viable. While companies are typically obligated to lay sod the same day it's delivered, DIYers have more leeway. Sod can stay fresh for up to three days if kept in a cool, moist, and shaded place. Avoid saturating it, but ensure it remains damp to prevent it from drying out before installation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AgpjFBZwdxg 25 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-sod-mistakes-things-you-dont-know-how-to-do-it-right-v3276220/overseeding-for-shade-and-color-blending-c3329631 2026-10-10T04:17:28.733Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AgpjFBZwdxg/hqdefault.jpg Overseeding for Shade and Color Blending — How to Install Sod - MISTAKES - Things you Don't know & H Overseeding is crucial for maintaining a healthy lawn, especially in shaded areas or when blending different turf colors. If a section of sod is laid in shade (e.g., under a large tree) but was grown in full sun, it will eventually weaken and die. Overseeding that area with a shade-tolerant seed mixture allows the new grass to replace the sun-grown sod, ensuring a thick and full lawn. Similarly, overseeding can help blend new sod with existing turf to achieve a uniform color. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AgpjFBZwdxg 13 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/wasting-time-excavating-on-employees-landscaping-routing-running-a-v3276221 2026-10-10T00:16:49.697Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bdm3pevoE0Q/hqdefault.jpg Wasting Time Excavating, On Employees, Landscaping, Routing & Running a business This video, aimed at contractors and business owners, discusses strategies for optimizing business operations and eliminating wasted time and resources.

A specific mistake highlighted is the use of vertical joints in wall construction, as these create weak points. An example wall shown is only 3 years old but has already started to separate due to such weaknesses. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 22 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/understand-terraced-vs-single-engineered-walls-c3330719 2026-10-10T00:16:51.623Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKp-u5Gr2QA/hqdefault.jpg Understand Terraced vs. Single Engineered Walls — Retaining Walls - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and Learn to differentiate between terraced retaining walls and single, engineered walls. Many landscaping and concrete companies build terraced walls to circumvent engineering requirements, assuming that separating the walls negates the need for professional design. However, terraced walls actually place a greater surcharge (load) from the upper wall onto the lower wall, increasing the risk of failure. The correct approach for significant retaining structures is to build a single, engineered wall, which includes the use of geogrid for reinforcement and obtaining city approval. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 42 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/assess-soil-and-load-conditions-for-design-c3330720 2026-10-10T00:16:51.623Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKp-u5Gr2QA/hqdefault.jpg Assess Soil and Load Conditions for Design — Retaining Walls - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and DIY Properly design the retaining wall by considering the soil type and load conditions. An important factor is assessing the type of soil in the construction area. For instance, soil that is 'over optimum moisture' (too wet) must be corrected. This might involve replacing the wet soil with appropriate backfill material. Also, account for any additional surcharge (weight or pressure) from structures like driveways directly behind and above the retaining wall, which necessitates extra reinforcement during construction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 49 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/install-proper-drainage-aggregate-c3330721 2026-10-10T00:16:51.623Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKp-u5Gr2QA/hqdefault.jpg Install Proper Drainage Aggregate — Retaining Walls - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and DIY your land Ensure adequate drainage aggregate is installed behind the retaining wall. The industry standard recommends at least 12 inches of drainage aggregate behind the wall, but increasing this to 18 inches or more provides superior long-term stability and is considered 'cheap insurance' against failure. Many contractors neglect this, using insufficient or no drainage aggregate, or installing drain tile incorrectly (e.g., at the top of the wall without aggregate). Proper drainage aggregate, typically 3/4 inch clean rock, should be placed behind the wall and ideally connect to a storm sewer system or virgin soil to effectively manage water. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 115 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/build-a-strong-footing-c3330722 2026-10-10T00:16:51.623Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKp-u5Gr2QA/hqdefault.jpg Build a Strong Footing — Retaining Walls - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and DIY your landscaping Wal Construct a robust footing for the retaining wall.

While some contractors still mistakenly advocate for this, filter fabric behind the wall face will eventually get clogged with silt and sediment, preventing proper water drainage. This creates hydrostatic pressure behind the wall, causing it to 'belly out' or bow, ultimately leading to structural failure. Water needs to weep evenly through the wall's face or drain through the aggregate without obstruction. The proper use of a free-draining backfill (like 3/4 inch rock) eliminates the need for filter fabric behind the wall face. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 70 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/caterpillar-john-deer-toro-stihl-whats-the-best-equipment-for-v3276227 2026-10-10T04:13:02.706Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yYGiZtSSAUE/hqdefault.jpg Caterpillar, John Deer, Toro, Stihl, Whats the best equipment for Landscaping Excavating This video offers insights into selecting equipment brands for businesses, emphasizing that the 'best' brand doesn't exist.

Kimo articulates that there isn't a single 'best' piece of equipment and challenges the notion of unwavering brand loyalty. He compares equipment ownership to a 'marriage' with the manufacturer and dealership, emphasizing that a long-term relationship for parts and service is paramount. He highlights that all machines eventually break down, and the key is the quality of support received from the dealer. He cautions against being 'stuck in a little box' due to blind brand loyalty, as it can limit access to better solutions and opportunities. Kimo further explains that living on an island limits his options, forcing him to rely on the readily available Cat dealer, but if given the choice, he would cherry-pick different brands (such as Doosan and John Deere) based on the best machine for a specific task and the local dealer support. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yYGiZtSSAUE 200 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/caterpillar-john-deer-toro-stihl-whats-the-best-equipment-for-v3276227/identify-crucial-purchasing-considerations-c3329498 2026-10-10T04:13:02.706Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yYGiZtSSAUE/hqdefault.jpg Identify Crucial Purchasing Considerations — Caterpillar, John Deer, Toro, Stihl, Whats the best equ The host synthesizes the advice from both experts, emphasizing that the 'best' equipment isn't about the brand alone.

Use a string line to mark the outer perimeter, ensuring all corners form perfect 90-degree angles. Starting from a back corner, lay the first course of Belgard Tandem Wall base blocks directly onto a prepared and level compacted granular base. It is crucial to check the levelness of each block both front-to-back and side-to-side using a spirit level. Adjust any unevenness by carefully tapping the blocks with a rubber mallet, ensuring the entire first course is perfectly stable and level. This foundational step is critical for the overall stability and appearance of your entire wall system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-te7tXKDmno 35 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-seat-walls-columns-for-landscaping-ultimate-diy-guide-v3276232/assemble-column-cages-and-stack-blocks-c3323857 2026-10-10T00:16:53.633Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-te7tXKDmno/hqdefault.jpg Assemble Column Cages and Stack Blocks — How to Build Seat walls & Columns for Landscaping, Ultimate After the first course of base blocks is laid, begin assembling the columns. First, position the metal wire rebar cages directly on the base blocks where your columns will stand, ensuring they are centered. Then, start stacking the Belgard Tandem Wall blocks around the rebar cages and along the wall sections. These modular blocks are designed to interlock with the course below them, creating a secure connection. The unique design of the Tandem Wall blocks creates a hollow core. Continue stacking the blocks, ensuring each new block engages firmly with the connectors of the blocks beneath it. For columns, ensure the rebar cage remains vertical and centered as you build up the layers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-te7tXKDmno 55 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-seat-walls-columns-for-landscaping-ultimate-diy-guide-v3276232/corefill-with-aggregate-c3323858 2026-10-10T00:16:53.633Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-te7tXKDmno/hqdefault.jpg Core-Fill with Aggregate — How to Build Seat walls & Columns for Landscaping, Ultimate DIY Guide for With the wall and column blocks stacked to their desired height, the next critical step is core-filling. Using a shovel and a wheelbarrow, transport gravel aggregate and pour it directly into the hollow cavities of both the wall sections and the columns. Ensure the aggregate completely fills all voids around the rebar cages in the columns and throughout the wall sections. This aggregate acts as a binding agent, interlocking the entire system—blocks and internal framework—into a solid, durable structure. Continue filling until the aggregate is level with the top course of blocks, ready for capping. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-te7tXKDmno 60 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-seat-walls-columns-for-landscaping-ultimate-diy-guide-v3276232/trim-internal-framework-and-cap-structures-c3323859 2026-10-10T00:16:53.633Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-te7tXKDmno/hqdefault.jpg Trim Internal Framework and Cap Structures — How to Build Seat walls & Columns for Landscaping, Ulti Before placing the final capstones, the excess metal wire rebar cages in the columns must be trimmed. Using a powerful cut-off saw (or bolt cutters for smaller wires), carefully cut the top of the rebar cage so that it sits slightly below the level of the top blocks, allowing the capstone to sit flush. Once trimmed and the cores are filled, place the Belgard capstones on top of the walls and columns. Measure and adjust each capstone to ensure it has an even overhang on all four sides.

To address salt contamination, simply water the affected area thoroughly with a garden hose. This heavy watering will dilute the salt concentration and help flush it away from the grass roots. For soil compaction, aeration is recommended. The video demonstrates a self-propelled aerator that puts spikes into the ground and vibrates to decompact the soil. Another method is 'plug and pull' aeration, where spikes pull cores of soil out, leaving them on the surface to decompose. Dethatching is explicitly advised against in spring, as it can be too harsh on young, tender grass by ripping and tearing through roots. If sand has accumulated in your yard from winter road base, use a power broom or a rake to gently remove it without damaging the grass. The power broom is shown to be significantly more efficient than a rake for this task. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dEAsFcibw08 190 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/amazing-spring-lawn-yard-care-tips-without-the-chemicals-also-great-v3276236/organic-lawn-care-summary-c3329391 2026-10-10T00:16:54.797Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dEAsFcibw08/hqdefault.jpg Organic Lawn Care Summary — AMAZING Spring Lawn & Yard Care tips without the Chemicals!

Incorporate beneficial browns (mulched dry leaves, newspapers, straw, hay, branches) and beneficial greens (pulverized fruit/vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, grass clippings) into the soil, ensuring they are finely ground and not visible. After winter, dilute salt concentrations by watering heavily and alleviate soil compaction through aeration. Avoid aggressive dethatching in spring to protect young grass.

Begin by laying a large tarp over the trailer, ensuring plenty of slack at the front and sides. Leaves are then loaded onto this tarp, often by using a riding mower with a bagging system to deposit them directly onto the tarp-lined trailer. Once full, a second tarp is placed over the top, and the sides of the bottom tarp are pulled over the leaf pile. The entire load is then securely wrapped using ropes or straps to contain all the leaves during transport. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLj72fZtkkw 20 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-leaf-removal-tips-plus-help-bidding-woodbury-mn-v3276258/palletassisted-unloading-c3323589 2026-10-10T00:16:59.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tLj72fZtkkw/hqdefault.jpg Pallet-Assisted Unloading — Fall Clean-up Leaf Removal Tips plus help bidding Woodbury MN For efficient unloading of the "leaf burrito" at the dump site, a clever trick involves using a wooden pallet and a chain or heavy-duty strap. Before loading leaves, place a wooden pallet at the front of the tarp-lined trailer. Secure one end of a long chain or strap to this pallet and run the other end through the middle of the tarps, extending out the back. After reaching the dump site, back up a vehicle (like a truck or heavy-duty mower) to the trailer. Attach the protruding end of the chain/strap to the vehicle's hitch. As the vehicle drives forward, it will pull the pallet, effectively sliding the entire "leaf burrito" off the trailer in one swift motion, minimizing manual labor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLj72fZtkkw 22 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-leaf-removal-tips-plus-help-bidding-woodbury-mn-v3276258/preblow-leaves-with-a-blower-c3323590 2026-10-10T00:16:59.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tLj72fZtkkw/hqdefault.jpg Pre-blow Leaves with a Blower — Fall Clean-up Leaf Removal Tips plus help bidding Woodbury MN Before using a leaf vacuum or bagging mower, it's efficient to use a leaf blower to move leaves away from obstacles such as fences, garden beds, and house foundations. This concentrates the leaves into more manageable piles in open areas, making them easier for the mower's vacuum system to collect. This approach streamlines the overall cleanup process by reducing the need for the mower to navigate tight spaces or repeatedly go over areas with scattered leaves. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLj72fZtkkw 11 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-leaf-removal-tips-plus-help-bidding-woodbury-mn-v3276258/vacuum-leaves-with-riding-mower-c3323591 2026-10-10T00:16:59.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tLj72fZtkkw/hqdefault.jpg Vacuum Leaves with Riding Mower — Fall Clean-up Leaf Removal Tips plus help bidding Woodbury MN Once leaves are consolidated into open areas or piles, use a riding mower equipped with a bagging system to efficiently collect them.

This method is significantly faster than raking and can also help prepare leaves for composting or easier disposal into the "leaf burrito" trailer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLj72fZtkkw 8 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-leaf-removal-tips-plus-help-bidding-woodbury-mn-v3276258/master-bidding-strategies-c3323592 2026-10-10T00:16:59.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tLj72fZtkkw/hqdefault.jpg Master Bidding Strategies — Fall Clean-up Leaf Removal Tips plus help bidding Woodbury MN When bidding on fall cleanup jobs, especially as a new contractor, it's recommended to start with an hourly rate to accurately assess the time and effort involved. For example, a job might take 3 hours at $50 per hour, plus a $40 dump fee, totaling $190. Once enough data is gathered from several jobs, contractors can transition to offering lump sum bids. Customers generally prefer lump sum bids as they provide a clear, upfront cost, which can lead to a higher close ratio for sales. The goal is to understand exactly how long different types of cleanup projects take to ensure profitability with lump sum pricing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tLj72fZtkkw 68 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-leaf-removal-tips-plus-help-bidding-woodbury-mn-v3276258/cultivate-creative-solutions-c3323593 2026-10-10T00:16:59.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tLj72fZtkkw/hqdefault.jpg Cultivate Creative Solutions — Fall Clean-up Leaf Removal Tips plus help bidding Woodbury MN The video emphasizes the importance of encouraging creativity and "thinking outside the box" among crew members or for individual DIYers.

Understanding these layers is critical for the patio's longevity, as issues with the subbase can lead to overall failure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/48pp5pNY7x8 56 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-patio-an-easy-do-it-yourself-project-v3276271/prepare-and-compact-subbase-c3324803 2026-10-10T00:17:02.930Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/48pp5pNY7x8/hqdefault.jpg Prepare and Compact Subbase — How to Build a Patio - An easy Do it Yourself Project The most critical element is the raw soil subbase. To test its compaction, soil engineers field-test by driving a steel spike into the ground. If you can drive a 10-12 inch spike all the way down with only two or three hits, your subbase is too soft and requires soil correction. It's crucial to remove all organic material (grass, black dirt, turf, roots) as they decompose and cause settlement. The subbase must be compacted with heavy equipment, such as a 1000lb plate packer or a 3-inch trench compactor, to achieve deep compaction in a single lift. For subbases with high moisture content, lay filter fabric before adding the base material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/48pp5pNY7x8 78 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-patio-an-easy-do-it-yourself-project-v3276271/install-and-compact-class-5-base-c3324804 2026-10-10T00:17:02.930Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/48pp5pNY7x8/hqdefault.jpg Install and Compact Class 5 Base — How to Build a Patio - An easy Do it Yourself Project After compacting the subbase, import and apply the base material, preferably Class 5 aggregate. Class 5 is a mixture of 3/4-inch rock with fines, which gives it a cohesive nature, allowing it to stay uniform once compacted. For standard patio applications, a 6-inch deep compacted Class 5 base is sufficient. For driveways or areas with heavy vehicle traffic, deepen the base to 8 or even 10 inches. Commercial sites, like those for semi-trucks, can use up to a foot of base material. When installing, use two lifts of material and compact each lift thoroughly to ensure maximum density and long-term stability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/48pp5pNY7x8 85 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-patio-an-easy-do-it-yourself-project-v3276271/prepare-sand-screed-base-c3324805 2026-10-10T00:17:02.930Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/48pp5pNY7x8/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Sand Screed Base — How to Build a Patio - An easy Do it Yourself Project The third and final base element is the sand or screed base. The critical measurement for this layer is exactly 1 inch. Sand has no cohesive material, meaning it has the potential to move. If a paver is subjected to pinpoint pressure on its edge, it can push down, causing the opposite end to lift. To achieve the precise 1-inch depth, lay down 1-inch pipes as screed rails and use a screed board to level the sand. This ensures an even surface and prevents paver tipping. https://www.youtube.com/embed/48pp5pNY7x8 116 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-patio-an-easy-do-it-yourself-project-v3276271/install-pavers-and-joint-sand-c3324806 2026-10-10T00:17:02.930Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/48pp5pNY7x8/hqdefault.jpg Install Pavers and Joint Sand — How to Build a Patio - An easy Do it Yourself Project Once the sand base is prepared, install the pavers. For areas where precise dimensions aren't critical, you can install pavers 'cutless' by adjusting the layout slightly to fit full paver sizes, minimizing cuts and waste. After pavers are laid, sweep sand into all the joints to fill them completely. There are two main options for joint sand: regular sand or polymeric sand. The presenter strongly advises against polymeric sand, citing observations that it 'chunks' and breaks up after 3-5 years, requiring full removal and reinstallation. Regular sand, while requiring yearly sweeping and watering to refresh, offers more reliable long-term performance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/48pp5pNY7x8 218 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-tough-can-a-carpenters-level-be-v3276272 2026-10-10T00:17:03.169Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/E2HkQ751zrk/hqdefault.jpg How Tough can a carpenters level Be ?!?

It involves driving solid spikes into the ground, which then vibrate laterally and vertically below the surface. This action loosens 100% of the soil in the work area without removing any cores or plugs. This is contrasted with traditional core aeration (plug pulling), which uses hollow tines to jab into the ground, remove soil plugs, and leave them on the surface to decompose. The video shows examples of removed plugs and highlights how running over these plugs can re-compact the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TiTwknWm5xc 76 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/lawn-and-yard-care-tips-aeration-dethaching-overseeding-for-a-v3276274/understanding-dethatching-c3323790 2026-10-10T00:17:03.546Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TiTwknWm5xc/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Dethatching — Lawn and Yard Care Tips - Aeration, DeThaching, Overseeding for a Gorge The video discusses dethatching, describing it as an invasive process that uses a giant rake to tear out dead material (thatch) and roots of live grass.

He compares core aeravation to 'tilling the soil,' a practice common in farming to loosen soil for new crops. Unlike tilling, which flips the ground upside down (as shown with a tiller on a yard), core aeravation loosens the soil without inverting it, allowing roots to penetrate deeper and grass to 'explode' and grow vigorously. He explicitly warns against tilling a yard due to the extreme disruption it causes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TiTwknWm5xc 76 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/lawn-and-yard-care-tips-aeration-dethaching-overseeding-for-a-v3276274/recommended-schedules-and-benefits-c3323796 2026-10-10T00:17:03.546Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TiTwknWm5xc/hqdefault.jpg Recommended Schedules and Benefits — Lawn and Yard Care Tips - Aeration, DeThaching, Overseeding fo The video concludes by providing recommended schedules for each method. Dethatching should be done at most once a year, or once every other year if thatch buildup is severe. Traditional core aeration (plug pulling) is recommended a maximum of twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. In contrast, core aeravation (soil fractionation) can be performed as often as once a week or even more frequently, at any time of the year, without detrimental side effects, because it is non-invasive and constantly loosens the soil while keeping the grass on top. The process also allows for optional overseeding at the same time, as seeds fall directly into the loosened soil. This method is even used on golf courses and universities to protect their turf from compaction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TiTwknWm5xc 37 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/lawn-mower-accident-makes-the-news-v3276275 2026-10-10T00:17:03.745Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FseDcVgrJfo/hqdefault.jpg Lawn Mower Accident Makes the News This project details crucial steps to ensure safety when operating lawn mowers, focusing on preventing accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

These mistakes include placing the retaining wall blocks without a proper base aggregate for stability and drainage. He also notes the absence of sufficient drainage aggregate behind the wall, with the contractors intending to backfill using existing onsite soils. This would lead to rapid wall failure within one to two seasons. Furthermore, the design failed to account for the weight of the adjacent structures (surcharge) and neglected to manage excess water directed at the wall. He explains the calculation of required material, noting that 26.4 tons of 3/4 inch rock would be needed for a wall of this size to be properly drained. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e7zJJ0Dsnic 109 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-construction-nightmare-how-to-hire-a-contractor-blocked-v3276276/practice-ethical-contracting-and-informed-consumer-choices-c3329510 2026-10-10T06:22:50.280Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e7zJJ0Dsnic/hqdefault.jpg Practice Ethical Contracting and Informed Consumer Choices — Landscaping, Construction Nightmare - H The presenter concludes by offering advice for both contractors and consumers. Contractors, especially those just starting, are encouraged to be honest about their skill level. This allows them to gain experience on appropriate projects while clients receive a fair price for the work performed. For consumers, the key is thorough due diligence: always get multiple bids, ask specific questions about the project's design, materials, and potential challenges (like drainage or surcharge). Importantly, consumers should not only listen to the answers but also pay attention to what contractors don't say, or any unsolicited knowledge shared. A contractor willing to offer detailed explanations and demonstrate a deep understanding is likely qualified. He warns that if a price seems 'too good to be true,' there's usually a reason, and consumers should accept that a very cheap contractor might be learning on their job site. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e7zJJ0Dsnic 140 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/landscape-construction-management-disaster-turns-into-a-mud-landslide-v3276277 2026-10-10T00:17:04.168Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JVfD3ZGMw50/hqdefault.jpg Landscape, Construction Management Disaster turns Into a Mud/ LandSlide This video details a complex landscaping project involving the redesign and stabilization of a steep backyard slope.

If there's an old concrete masonry unit (CMU) retaining wall, remove the blocks using a skid steer with a Stanley MB-550 hydraulic breaker or a mini excavator. Pay particular attention to the footing, as it is often thick and deep, requiring heavy equipment to remove. Once the old structure is removed, compact the subgrade thoroughly. A plate compactor, ranging from 150 to 1,000 pounds, is recommended to ensure the soil reaches full compaction, providing a stable foundation for the new wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 80 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/lay-base-stone-and-establish-drainage-c3323077 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Lay Base Stone and Establish Drainage — How to Build a Retaining Wall After compacting the subgrade, lay a 6-inch layer of 3/4 inch clean angular rock (such as granite or limestone) as the base material. Spread the rock evenly and give it a light compaction with the plate compactor. This material serves two crucial purposes: providing a stable, well-draining foundation for the first course of blocks and forming part of the wall's drainage zone. Avoid using 'pea rock' because its rounded edges prevent the material from locking together, compromising stability. Angular stone interlocks, creating a much stronger and more reliable base. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 40 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/level-the-first-course-of-blocks-c3323078 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Level the First Course of Blocks — How to Build a Retaining Wall Laying the first course of retaining wall blocks is the most critical step for the wall's longevity. Each block must be leveled individually, both front-to-back and side-to-side, using a level and a deadblow hammer to gently tap it into place on the base material. Once individual blocks are level, ensure that the level slides smoothly across adjacent blocks with no ridges or hesitations, indicating a consistent height across the entire course. For a standard installation, aim for a perfectly level bubble. Some experienced installers may introduce a slight backward 'batter' (pitch into the hill) by having the bubble slightly off-center towards the back, but this technique requires expertise to avoid over-pitching, which can cause the bottom of the wall to blow out. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 89 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/create-a-drainage-zone-c3323079 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Create a Drainage Zone — How to Build a Retaining Wall An effective drainage zone behind the retaining wall is paramount for its long-term stability. The minimum recommended depth for this zone is 12 inches, but extending it to 18 or even 24 inches wide is highly beneficial. Fill this zone with the same 3/4 inch clean angular rock used for the base. This material allows water to freely pass through and away from the wall structure, preventing hydrostatic pressure from building up behind the wall, which is a common cause of wall failure and blowout. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 49 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/construct-a-90degree-corner-c3323080 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Construct a 90-Degree Corner — How to Build a Retaining Wall When constructing a 90-degree corner, both faces of the blocks will be exposed, so it's essential to maintain a consistent texture. Instead of using a chop saw, which creates a smooth cut, use a chisel and a mallet to score the top face of the block where the cut is desired. Continue tapping around the block along the scored line until it snaps. This method provides a rough, textured face that matches the existing blocks, ensuring a seamless aesthetic transition at the corner. Attempting to cut with a chop saw will result in an unmatched smooth face. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 41 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/summary-of-critical-elements-c3323081 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Summary of Critical Elements — How to Build a Retaining Wall To ensure the successful construction of a durable retaining wall, always remember three critical elements: first, thoroughly compact the raw subgrade soil beneath the base layer. Second, correctly place and lightly compact the base material, ensuring the first course of blocks is individually leveled and then collectively leveled with the rest of the row, creating a flat top that will last for years. Third, install an adequate drainage zone behind the wall, using 3/4 inch free-draining angular stone, extending a minimum of 12 inches, or even 18 to 24 inches, to prevent hydrostatic pressure. Following these steps in the correct order will result in a retaining wall that stands strong for decades. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 60 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/tool-review-echo-power-trimmer-weed-eating-beast-v3276287 2026-10-10T06:30:07.528Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5elZruYtE4U/hqdefault.jpg Tool Review Echo Power Trimmer -Weed Eating Beast This project provides a detailed evaluation of the Echo 2620T string trimmer, showcasing its power and versatility in tackling various demanding trimming tasks.

He explains that Ka was living hand-to-mouth just seven years prior, working at a retirement home and struggling to pay bills for his family. However, through persistent effort, Ka transformed his life by selling raw vegan cookbooks, building an audience on YouTube and Facebook, and eventually achieving financial independence. He now travels the world with his five children without a permanent home, embodying the success he preaches. The speaker emphasizes that success is more likely to come at an older age (30, 40, 50, or 60) because individuals have had more time to identify problems, discover solutions, and learn from past failures. He urges the audience to act on their ideas, embrace their struggles as opportunities for growth, and stop making excuses. He quotes Bill Gates, stating that 'It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.' The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to take control of their lives, make their dreams a reality, and strive to become the best possible version of themselves. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GwNdENukCn4 408 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/dewalt-or-milwaukee-power-tools-v3276297 2026-10-10T06:40:57.363Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/17Lbs3pZVC8/hqdefault.jpg Dewalt or Milwaukee Power Tools?

The hosts emphasize the goal of elevating a basic mowing and blowing business to the next level by overcoming common barriers to entry and adding value through stages. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ynp23QmsR-E 76 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-1-aeration-c3329381 2026-10-10T05:51:14.260Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ynp23QmsR-E/hqdefault.jpg Upsell 1: Aeration — The Lawn Care Nut talks Trailers, Equipment and Set up The first upsell discussed is aeration. Alan highlights that aeration is an attractive service because it incurs no chemical costs and doesn't require chemical licensing. The primary equipment needed is an aerator, which is a single piece of machinery that doesn't demand excessive space on a work truck. Customers are generally familiar with aeration and its benefits to lawn health. For a typical 3500 square foot lawn, aeration is priced, on average, between $60 and $80, varying by region and competition. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ynp23QmsR-E 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-2-overseeding-c3329382 2026-10-10T05:51:14.260Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ynp23QmsR-E/hqdefault.jpg Upsell 2: Overseeding — The Lawn Care Nut talks Trailers, Equipment and Set up Overseeding is presented as the second upsell, often performed in conjunction with aeration due to its complementary nature. This service is well-understood by customers and is considered a 'golden word' in lawn care. While it involves the cost of grass seed, it typically does not require specific chemical licensing. Alan suggests an average application rate of 2 pounds of grass seed per 1000 square feet for general overseeding in the Midwest. When added to aeration, overseeding for a 3500 square foot lawn can bring in an additional $90 to $120. As a standalone service, with seed costing approximately $2 per pound and requiring 7 pounds for 3500 square feet (a $14 product cost), it can yield a profit of around $30 for about three minutes of actual application time using a spreader. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ynp23QmsR-E 117 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-3-crack-crevice-weed-control-c3329383 2026-10-10T05:51:14.260Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ynp23QmsR-E/hqdefault.jpg Upsell 3: Crack & Crevice Weed Control — The Lawn Care Nut talks Trailers, Equipment and Set up Crack and crevice weed control is the third upsell. This service focuses on eliminating weeds from hardscapes like driveways and sidewalks, and carefully from flower beds. It directly addresses a common nuisance for property owners and is particularly valuable for commercial clients. While it requires chemical licensing, it typically involves only one or two specific glyphosate-based products (professional alternatives to consumer Roundup). The necessary equipment is minimal: a 3-gallon hand can or a backpack sprayer. For larger operations, a 25 or 50-gallon nurse tank can be added to the truck to pre-mix chemicals. Pricing for this service is usually hourly, allowing for time spent mixing chemicals and acquiring materials. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ynp23QmsR-E 81 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-4-full-fertilizing-weed-control-program-c3329385 2026-10-10T05:51:14.260Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ynp23QmsR-E/hqdefault.jpg Upsell 4: Full Fertilizing & Weed Control Program — The Lawn Care Nut talks Trailers, Equipment and The final and most comprehensive upsell is offering a full fertilizing and weed control program. This service presents the highest barrier to entry due to more extensive chemical licensing requirements and a deeper understanding of various products, including nitrogen rates and application timings. However, if a business has already implemented the previous upsells (aeration, overseeding, crack and crevice control), they would likely already possess some chemical licensing and comfort with spray equipment. The primary remaining challenge involves reconfiguring the truck setup to accommodate larger nurse tanks and specialized application equipment for full lawn treatments. It is recommended to take state-offered licensing courses to gain comprehensive knowledge, even if passing the test is achievable. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ynp23QmsR-E 53 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/conclusion-and-resources-c3329387 2026-10-10T05:51:14.260Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ynp23QmsR-E/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Resources — The Lawn Care Nut talks Trailers, Equipment and Set up The video concludes with the host summarizing the information on upsells and encouraging viewers to explore Alan Hane's YouTube channel, "The Lawn Care Nut."

He highlights that in a business context, professionals are essentially 'paid to learn' as they gain experience. The core topic introduced is 'Decoding Bidding and Estimating part #3,' with a specific focus on strategies for bidding on 'grading' projects. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBbpTFNX6NY 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/time-and-materials-bidding-basics-c3331838 2026-10-10T00:17:12.111Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBbpTFNX6NY/hqdefault.jpg Time and Materials Bidding Basics — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and Lawn The instructor explains that for individuals new to tasks like grading, especially when using equipment such as a skid loader, the most secure initial bidding approach is a 'Time and Materials' (T&M) basis. He illustrates this with an example: a yard grading job (e.g., a 100x150 foot lot) might be estimated to take 10 hours of work. If the average hourly rate for a medium-sized Bobcat and operator is $85, the direct cost is $850. An additional two hours for transportation (to and from the job site) brings the total estimated cost to approximately $1000. This method ensures that all direct costs, including labor, equipment usage, and travel, are accounted for. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBbpTFNX6NY 65 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/transitioning-to-lump-sum-bidding-c3331839 2026-10-10T00:17:12.111Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBbpTFNX6NY/hqdefault.jpg Transitioning to Lump Sum Bidding — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and Lawn As experience is gained, a landscaper's efficiency naturally improves. The instructor explains that a job initially estimated to take 12 hours might eventually be completed in 11 or even 6 hours. The strategic advice is to continue bidding the job at the established lump sum price (e.g., $1000), which was originally based on the longer time-and-materials estimate. This creates a larger profit margin for every hour saved. If a job unexpectedly takes longer, it's considered 'eating a little bit' of the profit, but overall, increased efficiency with lump sum bids leads to higher earnings. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBbpTFNX6NY 150 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/maximizing-profit-through-efficiency-and-experience-c3331840 2026-10-10T00:17:12.111Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBbpTFNX6NY/hqdefault.jpg Maximizing Profit Through Efficiency and Experience — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Lan The instructor emphasizes that continuous skill development, much like snow plowing crews who become 30% faster after the first few snowfalls, directly translates to increased profitability. By doing a job more efficiently (e.g., completing an initially 12-hour task in 6 hours), a landscaper on a lump sum bid can potentially take on and complete a second job on the same day, effectively doubling their daily income. This principle applies to various services, including tree removal and sprinkler system installations. Each new site and task presents an opportunity to refine techniques, learn faster ways to chain down equipment, optimize travel, cut a grade, or balance soil, thereby improving overall operational speed and financial gains. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBbpTFNX6NY 105 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/gaining-practical-experience-through-experimentation-c3331841 2026-10-10T00:17:12.111Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBbpTFNX6NY/hqdefault.jpg Gaining Practical Experience Through Experimentation — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, La To effectively develop new skills and gain confidence, the instructor advises using one's own property or collaborating with clients who are willing to allow for a 'learning curve' on their site. He shares a personal anecdote of experimenting with three different types of retaining walls on his own property. These walls were built with varying techniques, such as different batter placements (slope) and drainage depths, intentionally not adhering strictly to standard codes, to understand their structural integrity firsthand. This hands-on experimentation allowed him to gain invaluable practical knowledge, enabling him to confidently assure future customers that his expertise stemmed from 'experience' rather than just theoretical 'code' compliance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBbpTFNX6NY 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/conclusion-continuous-learning-and-sharing-c3331842 2026-10-10T00:17:12.111Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBbpTFNX6NY/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion: Continuous Learning and Sharing — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping The instructor concludes by reiterating the immense value of continuous learning.

Using pea rock (small, rounded stones) behind a retaining wall is a common mistake because water running through it can cause the rocks to roll and move, leading to soil loosening, hydrostatic pressure buildup, and silt/sediment seepage through the wall face. Instead, 3/4-inch clear angular stone should be used. This type of stone interlocks with itself and the surrounding soil, preventing movement and effectively managing water pressure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 70 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276413/use-solid-blocks-and-avoid-improper-core-filling-c3323066 2026-10-10T00:17:14.381Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gegbc45AKY/hqdefault.jpg Use Solid Blocks and Avoid Improper Core Filling — How Not To Build a Retaining Wall The video cautions against using hollow blocks and improper core filling techniques. Hollow blocks are often chosen because they are less expensive, lighter, and quicker to install. However, when these blocks are core-filled with unsuitable materials like pea rock, the fill can settle over time, compromising the block's stability and leading to premature wall failure. The presenter advocates for solid pinned units, like those from Versa-Lok, which do not require core filling and are designed for greater stability. Additionally, it is noted that no compaction should occur within 3 feet of the back of the retaining wall to prevent disturbing the soil and aggregate behind it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276413/design-tiered-walls-with-adequate-setback-c3323067 2026-10-10T00:17:14.381Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gegbc45AKY/hqdefault.jpg Design Tiered Walls with Adequate Setback — How Not To Build a Retaining Wall The video addresses the common error of designing tiered (terraced) retaining walls too closely together. Building one wall above another without sufficient horizontal separation creates a 'surcharge' or additional static load on the lower wall, which can lead to its failure. To prevent this, a 'pro-tip' is offered: the horizontal distance between the top of the lower wall and the base of the upper wall should be at least twice the height of the lower wall. For example, if the lower wall is 3 feet tall, the next tier should start at least 6 feet back. This ensures adequate space for load distribution and prevents the upper wall from overstressing the lower one. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 75 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276413/implement-geogrid-reinforcement-c3323068 2026-10-10T00:17:14.381Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gegbc45AKY/hqdefault.jpg Implement Geogrid Reinforcement — How Not To Build a Retaining Wall For taller retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement is essential to provide stability and resist lateral earth pressure. The video introduces a 'pro-tip' for calculating geogrid placement: the geogrid should extend one foot behind the wall for every foot of wall height. For instance, a 16-foot tall wall would require geogrid extending 16 feet back. Additionally, geogrid layers should be installed every 2 feet vertically up the wall. This system of reinforcement effectively ties the wall into the soil mass, preventing movement and ensuring long-term stability, even for significant heights or loads like a driveway (alleyway) behind it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 53 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276413/avoid-planting-trees-near-retaining-walls-c3323070 2026-10-10T00:17:14.381Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gegbc45AKY/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Planting Trees Near Retaining Walls — How Not To Build a Retaining Wall The video issues a strong warning against planting trees too close to or on top of a retaining wall. While the static weight of a tree can theoretically be accounted for in a wall's design, the dynamic load and expansion of tree roots are unpredictable and cannot be engineered against. As tree roots grow and spread, they exert immense pressure on the retaining wall, inevitably leading to structural damage and wall failure. Bushes are acceptable near retaining walls, but trees should be avoided entirely to preserve the wall's integrity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 49 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276413/install-wall-toe-and-grade-for-surface-drainage-c3323072 2026-10-10T00:17:14.381Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4gegbc45AKY/hqdefault.jpg Install Wall Toe and Grade for Surface Drainage — How Not To Build a Retaining Wall Proper installation of the wall's 'toe' and correct grading behind it are crucial for preventing water damage and ensuring stability. The video advises embedding the retaining wall a minimum of 12-24 inches into the ground, plus an additional 6 inches for the base material. This deep embedding provides essential foundational support. Furthermore, the grade (slope) of the soil directly behind the wall should be slightly higher than the top of the wall caps. This design ensures that surface water flows over the face of the wall rather than collecting and being dammed up behind it, which would otherwise lead to hydrostatic pressure buildup and premature failure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4gegbc45AKY 39 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/what-is-a-dirtmonkey-v3276414 2026-10-10T05:55:42.406Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8CA9yozv_Tw/hqdefault.jpg What is a DirtMonkey ?

Instead, they often prefer a "middle person" or the most experienced professional. Underbidding, or setting your price too low, frequently means you are missing critical cost components, such as overhead or insurance, or you are underestimating your value. This results in "leaving money on the table" or losing the job to competitors who priced higher but were perceived as more reliable or complete. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1tMQESBmk_Y 24 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/gain-practical-experience-track-costs-c3332216 2026-10-10T00:17:16.773Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1tMQESBmk_Y/hqdefault.jpg Gain Practical Experience & Track Costs — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and To develop an accurate understanding of your time and material costs, perform several sprinkler installation jobs for friends or family for free. In these scenarios, the client should cover the cost of materials. During each job, meticulously track the exact time it takes to complete different tasks using a stopwatch. Also, keep a detailed record of all materials used. This hands-on, low-pressure practice allows you to learn the installation process, improve your efficiency, and build a reliable dataset of your actual labor and material requirements. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1tMQESBmk_Y 41 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/develop-a-datadriven-bid-formula-c3332217 2026-10-10T00:17:16.773Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1tMQESBmk_Y/hqdefault.jpg Develop a Data-Driven Bid Formula — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and Lawn With your accumulated data on labor hours and material costs, you can now construct a robust bidding formula. For example, if you know a 300 linear foot sprinkler system requires 20 hours of labor and $250 in materials, you can calculate your labor cost (e.g., 20 hours x $50/hour = $1000). Add this to your material costs ($250), totaling $1250. Then, incorporate a percentage (e.g., 5% or 10%) for overhead expenses (insurance, marketing, vehicle maintenance) and profit. This systematic approach ensures all costs are covered and a profit margin is built-in. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1tMQESBmk_Y 41 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/seek-and-analyze-customer-feedback-c3332218 2026-10-10T00:17:16.773Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1tMQESBmk_Y/hqdefault.jpg Seek and Analyze Customer Feedback — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and Lawn After submitting bids, especially for jobs you don't win, make it a practice to ask the customer for feedback. Politely inquire why your bid was not selected. Was your price too high or too low? Did another contractor offer a different approach or more experience? This direct feedback is invaluable. It will inform you if you are undercharging relative to market expectations and provide insights into what customers value, helping you adjust your pricing and service offerings accordingly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1tMQESBmk_Y 29 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/optimize-pricing-and-presentation-c3332219 2026-10-10T00:17:16.773Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1tMQESBmk_Y/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Pricing and Presentation — Q & A Decoding Estimates for Construction, Landscaping and Lawn Once you have gathered feedback, especially if it indicates you were consistently underbidding, adjust your prices upward. For example, if you bid $1375 and lost the job to a competitor who bid $1800 or $1975, it means you could have charged more and still been competitive. Incrementally increase your pricing for future bids to capture this 'left-on-the-table' money.

This serves to get your company's name and capabilities noticed by contractors and potential clients for future opportunities. The goal is to get on their 'radar screen' even if you don't secure the current job. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjtls77siaQ 16 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-2-v3276430/rent-equipment-before-buying-c3324333 2026-10-10T00:17:19.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjtls77siaQ/hqdefault.jpg Rent Equipment Before Buying — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #2 Before investing heavily in expensive excavation equipment, it's crucial to rent different types and models (e.g., skid loaders, mini hoes, tractor loader backhoes) to gain hands-on experience. This allows you to understand their capabilities, assess their suitability for various tasks, and ensure they 'feel good' to operate before making a significant purchase. The speaker recounts his own mistake of buying a TLB (tractor loader backhoe) and later realizing a Bobcat (skid loader) was much more versatile for his needs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjtls77siaQ 94 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-2-v3276430/start-with-small-excavation-jobs-c3324334 2026-10-10T00:17:19.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjtls77siaQ/hqdefault.jpg Start with Small Excavation Jobs — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #2 Initially, focus on smaller excavation jobs that align with your current skill level and equipment, such as additions to existing structures, regrading customer yards, or small basement excavations. This approach allows you to gain practical experience, refine your processes, and build a reputation without overextending your resources or capabilities. By consistently taking on these smaller jobs, you accumulate valuable hands-on knowledge and client testimonials that will naturally lead to larger opportunities. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjtls77siaQ 209 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-2-v3276430/learn-from-every-bid-and-job-c3324335 2026-10-10T00:17:19.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjtls77siaQ/hqdefault.jpg Learn from Every Bid and Job — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #2 Utilize every bidding opportunity, regardless of whether you win or lose, as a learning experience. By bidding on projects, you gain exposure to industry pricing, project scope, and client expectations. If you don't get a job, follow up with the client or contractor (if appropriate) to understand why your bid wasn't selected or even the winning bid amount. This feedback is invaluable for refining your pricing strategies, improving your processes, and understanding the competitive landscape for future bids. Treat these experiences as 'rehearsals' for the jobs you do want to win. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjtls77siaQ 126 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-2-v3276430/learn-by-doing-c3324337 2026-10-10T00:17:19.629Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjtls77siaQ/hqdefault.jpg Learn by Doing — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #2 Continuous practical application is the most effective way to learn and improve in excavation. There are training academies and online resources, but real-world experience is paramount. You must actively 'do them and do them' to master the skills. Start small, research best practices (e.g., 'Google some stuff'), and gradually increase the complexity of your projects. This hands-on approach, combined with learning from past experiences (especially 'bad jobs' that provide critical lessons), will organically grow your company's capabilities and success in excavation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjtls77siaQ 120 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-1-v3276431 2026-10-10T06:53:44.126Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MXJXnzUmydY/hqdefault.jpg How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #1 This project provides comprehensive guidance for landscaping business owners on optimizing their marketing strategies and making informed equipment procurement decisions.

This frequent activity can also contribute positively to search engine optimization (SEO) for your business. Additionally, create a dedicated Facebook business page; this acts as a free, online presence (similar to a website) and allows you to target specific demographics (e.g., single-family homeowners with a particular income level) within a precise geographic area using both free posts and potentially paid ads. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MXJXnzUmydY 77 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-1-v3276431/implement-effective-direct-mail-marketing-c3332318 2026-10-10T06:53:44.126Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MXJXnzUmydY/hqdefault.jpg Implement Effective Direct Mail Marketing — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #1 Design effective flyers for direct mail marketing.

Skid loaders are incredibly versatile and can be equipped with various attachments such as forks, different sized buckets, and even backhoe attachments, allowing them to perform a wide range of tasks. Choose a mid-sized machine rather than the absolute largest or smallest, as it will likely provide the best balance of power, maneuverability, and cost-effectiveness for most projects. Pay attention to the design of the boom arm; models where the arm moves up and forward are superior for loading dump trucks, preventing material from falling back onto the machine or operator. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MXJXnzUmydY 130 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-1-v3276431/assess-advanced-equipment-needs-and-rent-for-trials-c3332320 2026-10-10T06:53:44.126Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MXJXnzUmydY/hqdefault.jpg Assess Advanced Equipment Needs and Rent for Trials — How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #1 For more specialized digging or larger excavation projects, consider adding a mini excavator to your fleet. When choosing an excavator, prioritize a machine with a good power-to-weight ratio to ensure it can handle challenging digging conditions without getting stuck. Avoid large excavators (e.g., 18,000-pound to 40,000-pound models) unless you have long-term contracts with home builders for large-scale basement excavations. Similarly, steer clear of small walk-behind units, as they are generally too inefficient for significant hardscaping work. If you're uncertain about the exact make or model of equipment you need for specific tasks, rent it first to test its capabilities and suitability for your projects before committing to a purchase. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MXJXnzUmydY 64 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-commercial-lawn-mowing-lawn-care-and-lawn-maintenance-v3276432 2026-10-10T04:54:27.408Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xU70sozSU_4/hqdefault.jpg How to Bid Commercial Lawn Mowing, Lawn care, and Lawn Maintenance This video outlines a strategic, proactive approach for landscaping businesses to acquire commercial clients, particularly Homeowners' Associations (HOAs) and townhome associations.

Instead of competing directly in overly crowded areas like general lawn care, focus on finding specific, underserved needs. The speaker gives an example of artificial turf installation for areas where grass struggles to grow (like under pine or oak trees) as a niche opportunity in Minnesota. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zwuzZJWurnA 82 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-get-started-in-lawn-care-pt2-v3276433/build-strategic-alliances-and-seek-mentorship-c3327297 2026-10-10T04:23:37.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zwuzZJWurnA/hqdefault.jpg Build Strategic Alliances and Seek Mentorship — How do I get started in Lawn Care? pt#2 Once potential niches are identified, actively seek out and connect with other business owners in related or even competing fields. This includes 'local business owners' who may be open to collaboration or mentorship. The speaker emphasizes that 'an opportunity is never lost, someone always finds it', meaning if others aren't pursuing a niche, you should. These connections can offer valuable advice and potentially lead to referrals or shared resources. This step also suggests finding local mentors and reaching out to every business owner to let them know what you do. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zwuzZJWurnA 124 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-get-started-in-lawn-care-pt2-v3276433/target-underserved-customer-segments-c3327298 2026-10-10T04:23:37.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zwuzZJWurnA/hqdefault.jpg Target Underserved Customer Segments — How do I get started in Lawn Care? pt#2 Actively seek out customer bases that are overlooked by larger companies.

By going 'where they are', you position your business to serve these specific needs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zwuzZJWurnA 100 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-get-started-in-lawn-care-pt2-v3276433/practice-reciprocity-and-nonsales-networking-c3327299 2026-10-10T04:23:37.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zwuzZJWurnA/hqdefault.jpg Practice Reciprocity and Non-Sales Networking — How do I get started in Lawn Care? pt#2 A crucial element of building relationships is the principle of 'give to get.' This means offering value and support to others without an immediate expectation of return. The speaker advises taking other business owners out for lunch, but importantly, to avoid discussing business directly. Instead, focus on building personal rapport, discussing general topics like 'politics,' or simply getting to know each other. Allow them to steer the conversation toward business if they are interested. This strategy builds trust and makes them more likely to refer you or offer assistance in the future. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zwuzZJWurnA 227 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-get-started-in-lawn-care-pt2-v3276433/achieve-commercial-growth-through-established-networks-c3327300 2026-10-10T04:23:37.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zwuzZJWurnA/hqdefault.jpg Achieve Commercial Growth Through Established Networks — How do I get started in Lawn Care? pt#2 The culmination of these efforts is realizing significant business growth.

He also mentions helping a new snow plowing contractor grow their business from $40,000 to over $100,000 in six months by providing leads.

The speaker advises focusing on personal reputation. He suggests starting within your existing network, such as your church or local community, and letting people know you are starting a business. Emphasize appreciation for their support and referrals. The speaker highlights that people enjoy helping others, especially if they feel a personal connection. He recommends actively talking to customers, beyond just doing the job, as this personal interaction can make customers feel a connection to you, leading them to recommend your service over impersonal large companies. The primary tool for success in this regard is leveraging one's personality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DYRzHpNbrSo 115 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-get-started-in-lawn-care-pt-1-v3276434/equipment-purchase-and-marketing-timing-c3330199 2026-10-10T04:35:54.616Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DYRzHpNbrSo/hqdefault.jpg Equipment Purchase and Marketing Timing — How do I Get started in Lawn Care? pt #1 Lance asks whether he should borrow money to buy new equipment with a warranty or buy used. The speaker quickly affirms that used equipment is the way to go. He states that Lance's ability to fix things means breakdowns aren't a major concern. The core principle is that client accounts should pay for the equipment, not debt. The speaker advises starting marketing immediately, even during off-season, to secure clients before purchasing expensive equipment. He suggests starting small, possibly with just a used push mower. He highlights that he personally seeks out gently used, top-notch equipment that has already undergone its initial depreciation, letting someone else absorb the new equipment cost. He encourages embracing the initial struggles and 'greasy fingernails' that come with working with used equipment. Finally, he advises Lance to observe where competitors market and replicate their free marketing strategies, such as simple flyers or letters introducing the business on community boards, emphasizing the personal touch of a handwritten signature. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DYRzHpNbrSo 292 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-saltwater-reef-aquarium-v3276435 2026-10-10T06:25:38.265Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6NBcQFTMlC8/hqdefault.jpg 1700 Gallon Saltwater Reef Aquarium This video provides an in-depth overview of the construction and advanced features of a massive 1700-gallon custom reef aquarium.

He advises understanding landfill policies (what they accept, what they don't, and their pricing structures, which can include flat rates). For typical house demolitions (1,500 to 2,500 square feet), two to three 40-yard dumpsters are usually needed for wood and general debris, while concrete/block foundations require two to three 10-yard dumpsters due to a 10-ton weight limit. He strongly recommends utilizing a 'turn and burn' strategy with dumpster companies, where a full dumpster is immediately replaced with an empty one, avoiding costs associated with half-full containers. Building a strong relationship with dumpster companies is essential for negotiating the best prices. For the demolition process itself, he advises imploding the house into its crawl space to contain debris, keeping the site clean and organized. Additionally, he warns about hazardous materials like vermiculite and asbestos, which must be removed separately according to regulations. Finally, he suggests maintaining a clean job site and proactively informing neighbors about the demolition activity by knocking on doors and providing business cards. This fosters good public relations and may lead to future referrals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WszvUmzcuQQ 358 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/cool-way-to-wash-a-snowplow-truck-v3276437 2026-10-10T04:31:49.987Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wok-HNBiwgk/hqdefault.jpg Cool way to Wash a Snowplow truck?!?

The narrator explains that while larger operations might typically operate on an hourly basis with multiple pieces of equipment and operators, focusing on 'one-off' lump sum jobs allows the contractor to work solely for one property owner on a single site. This eliminates the need to travel between multiple sites or manage complex schedules, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability. It's acknowledged that working directly for property owners on these terms carries a higher risk of payment issues, but also offers a potentially greater financial reward. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fchi3Av2IdA 77 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-a-killing-snowplowing-v3276443/optimize-account-acquisition-and-equipment-utilization-c3323827 2026-10-10T03:58:49.394Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fchi3Av2IdA/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Account Acquisition and Equipment Utilization — How to Make a Killing SnowPlowing To maintain a full work schedule and maximize earnings during the snow season, it is crucial to acquire multiple clients rather than relying on just one. The video shows a John Deere 310E backhoe loader (TLB) with a Pro-Tech pusher blade operating at night, illustrating a larger-scale commercial plowing operation. The narrator states that his two TLBs, four skid loaders, and three pickup trucks (totaling nine pieces of equipment) generate $663 per hour combined. He then contrasts this with the $600 per hour earned from the single 'one-off' lot with just one pickup truck, emphasizing that a single profitable small account can generate nearly as much hourly income as a large fleet, before accounting for wages, fuel, and maintenance for multiple operators and equipment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fchi3Av2IdA 55 no https://www.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-a-killing-snowplowing-v3276443/implement-depthbased-pricing-c3323828 2026-10-10T03:58:49.394Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fchi3Av2IdA/hqdefault.jpg Implement Depth-Based Pricing — How to Make a Killing SnowPlowing To further enhance profitability, the narrator introduces a depth-based pricing model.
