What happens here

The earthmoving project commences with the ASV RT-75 Posi-Track skid steer loader. The primary objective is to transform an area where three old driveways previously converged into a single, well-graded, and visually appealing entrance. Initially, the creator focuses on "bulking off" — cutting down existing high spots and relocating this fill soil. This material is then used to begin shaping the new driveway, flattening the area, and filling in sections of the old driveways to establish the basic contours and prepare the base for further refinement.

Goal: Establish the basic shape and contours of a new driveway entrance, eliminating old paths and preparing the area for refinement.

  • Fill soil Existing on-site — Building up low areas, creating basic contours, and establishing the new driveway base

he was a good 30 feet to the side when all of this happened you just got to be careful what you shoot at i'll tell you right now you guys i watch demolition ranch one of my favorite channels but half of the stuff he shoots at i just shake my head going how how do you get away with that i don't [Music] know [Music] but now on this project what you're gonna see me do is use some of this fill soil to build out the sides of the future driveway so i've got this mound right here i'm going to cut that down and use that to establish the new driveway boundaries so i i'm filling in here so that as you guys you got a straight shot you have i i see your driveway moving over to here yep and then this i'm gonna contour down into the in into your yard you're okay with that dirt right there i'm gonna i'm just gonna put down seat okay okay good good good good um yeah i'm gonna take that bank right there steve how much you don't own that right okay okay but i'm gonna take jeff said i can take some of that hill out i'm gonna take that and i'm gonna move it right to here okay yep yeah i'm gonna take that i'm gonna take this hill i'm gonna bring it right to here so that way as you guys are coming in and out you got a very straight shot so i'll take i'll probably take almost up to that tree not down but i'm gonna contour up to that first tree so that that way we've got a nice flowing contour so one of the things i've got in the back of my mind is yes we are cutting in a new driveway entrance but we have an old driveway entrance that we've got to do some remediation on this these people don't need two driveway entrances to each of their homes so wherever their old driveway entrance is i need to cover that up with some soil that will hopefully provide some cover for some vegetation down the road so you'll see me working this from both angles i'll be building the new driveway and then covering up the old driveway [Music] all right so i'm bulking off first not contouring i'm not doing any finessing now worried about it i just want to move materials once i feel like i've got all the material moved out of the way that i need then i'll start contouring i want to get all of this still cut out but i need to save enough because if i'm rebuilding this driveway entrance the work isn't limited to there i want to have a nice grade going to the driveway entrance i don't want this happening i want it to just flow floam flow so let's make it flow so that's why we're going all the way up here…
