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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/prepare-lawn-and-establish-turning-lanes-c3329663 2026-10-15T01:34:24.524Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-zigzag-pattern-c3329664 2026-10-15T01:34:24.524Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-crosshatch-pattern-c3329665 2026-10-15T01:34:24.524Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/create-the-diamond-pattern-c3329666 2026-10-15T01:34:24.524Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stripe-a-lawnlike-a-boss-basic-to-advanced-techniques-4k-video-v3275624/advanced-techniques-and-mower-care-c3329667 2026-10-15T01:34:24.524Z 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://3x3custom.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.

(Have you see Lloyd elaborates on a critical improvement: superior hillside stability. This is achieved through a multi-faceted design approach. Firstly, the engine is positioned both lower and more centrally within the mower's frame, directly between the drive wheels. This significantly lowers the center of gravity. Secondly, the operator is also positioned between the wheels, creating a more integrated and 'sticky' feel to the machine, enhancing confidence and control on slopes. Thirdly, the tires feature an aggressive tread design that further improves grip. Lastly, a carefully integrated suspension system ensures operator comfort and stability, minimizing bumps and vibrations while maintaining firm contact with the terrain. These combined features mitigate the risk of slippage and increase overall safety and performance on inclines. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xZyssY74jcU 106 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/buried-the-exmark-mower-testing-it-in-tall-grass-mud-have-you-seen-v3275636/series-comparison-application-guidance-c3331597 2026-10-15T01:34:14.773Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xZyssY74jcU/hqdefault.jpg Series Comparison & Application Guidance — Buried the Exmark Mower Testing it in Tall grass & mud. ( Lloyd outlines the key differences between the Exmark Staris E-series and S-series models. The S-series offers higher horsepower options and advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, including Kawasaki FX and Kohler EFI units. It also boasts a higher ground speed, reaching up to 10 miles per hour, making it suitable for larger properties and commercial applications. In contrast, the E-series typically comes with Kawasaki FS engines and a top speed of 7.5 mph, designed for smaller properties and areas requiring greater maneuverability.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-a-kid-teenager-or-adult-can-get-started-in-lawn-mowing-with-v3275676/effective-marketing-for-customer-acquisition-c3329990 2026-10-15T01:34:15.070Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/set-level-spillway-c3333071 2026-10-15T01:34:12.836Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/apply-foam-sealant-c3333072 2026-10-15T01:34:12.836Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/attach-hose-fitting-hose-to-spillway-c3333073 2026-10-15T01:34:12.836Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-a-waterfall-in-2-hours-20-minutes-steps-714-v3275677/finalize-look-c3333075 2026-10-15T01:34:12.836Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-retaining-walls-fall-down-how-most-people-build-them-wrong-v3275719/conclusion-and-future-learning-c3331625 2026-10-15T01:34:20.383Z 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. He reinforces that neglecting geogrid can lead to catastrophic failure, citing a real-world example of a 14-foot wall that collapsed in two years due to its absence.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/understanding-drive-systems-right-angle-vs-direct-drive-c3329432 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/comparing-blade-design-and-mass-for-performance-c3329433 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/assessing-mower-attachment-and-functionality-c3329434 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/matching-mower-size-and-type-to-machine-c3329435 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/choosing-hydraulic-motor-specifications-for-optimal-performance-c3329436 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/testing-brush-mowers-land-clearing-equipment-in-extreme-conditions-v3275722/debunking-marketing-claims-and-realistic-expectations-c3329437 2026-10-15T01:34:29.904Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/3-scams-contractors-use-to-fraud-customers-how-to-protect-yourself-v3275723 2026-10-15T01:34:05.330Z 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.

This fabric serves to protect the EPDM rubber liner from punctures by sharp objects and increases the load-bearing capacity of the soil, providing structural stability and allowing the pond bottom to breathe, facilitating moisture and gas exchange. Ensure the fabric covers the entire excavated area before the liner is laid. This step usually involves multiple people to handle the large fabric sheets. https://www.youtube.com/embed/46OgaHKf00s 73 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/placing-the-pond-liner-c3333082 2026-10-15T01:34:04.922Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/46OgaHKf00s/hqdefault.jpg Placing the Pond Liner — How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20 After the underlayment is in place, carefully unroll and position the EPDM rubber liner over the fabric, ensuring it conforms to the contours of the pond excavation.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/rock-the-pond-c3333085 2026-10-15T01:34:04.922Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/digging-out-for-frame-rocks-waterfall-c3333086 2026-10-15T01:34:04.922Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/make-adjustments-and-check-water-elevations-c3333088 2026-10-15T01:34:04.922Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-backyard-pond-in-one-day-steps-820-v3275727/foam-in-rocks-and-secure-filter-pads-c3333089 2026-10-15T01:34:04.922Z 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 section of the log, chosen for its large knots and unique character, is then cut to the approximate height of a sink (around 36 inches). This cut log is then set aside to air dry for about a year to reduce its moisture content. Once dried, the log is placed on a pallet in the garage for initial shaping. 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:13.342Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/carve-the-sink-basin-c3330324 2026-10-15T01:34:13.342Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/acclimate-test-stains-and-plan-sealing-c3330325 2026-10-15T01:34:13.342Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cheap-but-gorgeous-bathroom-remodel-for-497-log-sink-masterpiece-pt-v3275729/apply-sealing-resin-c3330326 2026-10-15T01:34:13.342Z 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.

In contrast, he shows a Topcon unit with dead, non-rechargeable batteries, which would require a trip to a store for replacements, causing downtime. He emphasizes that this battery feature, combined with DeWalt's robustness (being 'drop-resistant') and competitive pricing (a fraction of the cost of some high-end lasers), makes it a practical choice for a job site. He mentions that the DeWalt provides a 2200-foot range, surpassing the distance offered by his Topcon unit, while offering comparable functionality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oqwlpSZ0rk0 146 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-rotary-laser-sponsored-by-dewalt-v3275733/setting-initial-grade-and-benchmark-c3325541 2026-10-10T05:03:03.775Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oqwlpSZ0rk0/hqdefault.jpg Setting Initial Grade and Benchmark — How to use a Rotary Laser (sponsored by Dewalt) On an outdoor job site, the presenter demonstrates setting an initial grade for a construction project. 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

This involves ensuring that the ground around the house, including any sidewalks or paved areas, is sloped away from the foundation. The video demonstrates common issues like sidewalks being lower than the house's grade, creating a 'moat' for water. It also stresses checking gutters for clogs and ensuring downspouts extend far enough away from the foundation (at least 8 feet, with a 1-inch drop per 8 feet of run). The danger of water collecting against the sill plate is highlighted, emphasizing the need for proper grade to prevent issues like dry rot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u90y72RHgM 356 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/installing-a-french-drain-c3329318 2026-10-15T01:34:29.634Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1u90y72RHgM/hqdefault.jpg Installing a French Drain — 4 Solutions to fix a wet basement plus Noob Mistakes When exterior grading is not sufficient or feasible, a French drain is presented as the next external solution. 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/fullfledged-exterior-foundation-waterproofing-c3329320 2026-10-15T01:34:29.634Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/interior-drain-tile-with-sump-pump-last-resort-c3329323 2026-10-15T01:34:29.634Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/identifying-interior-water-entry-points-c3329324 2026-10-15T01:34:29.634Z 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. These visual cues help pinpoint the exact entry points and guide the choice of the most appropriate repair strategy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1u90y72RHgM 180 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/4-solutions-to-fix-a-wet-basement-plus-noob-mistakes-v3275737/product-review-and-final-advice-c3329325 2026-10-15T01:34:29.634Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1u90y72RHgM/hqdefault.jpg Product Review and Final Advice — 4 Solutions to fix a wet basement plus Noob Mistakes The video concludes by reiterating the critical difference between various waterproofing products available at home improvement stores.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-install-hardwood-floors-before-during-after-including-all-v3275743/apply-flexible-sealant-transition-pieces-c3333062 2026-10-15T01:34:15.236Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-install-hardwood-floors-before-during-after-including-all-v3275743/final-review-lessons-learned-c3333063 2026-10-15T01:34:15.236Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/he-went-from-making-15k-a-year-in-lawn-care-to-almost-1-million-in-v3275744 2026-10-15T01:34:20.960Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745/hack-2-getting-free-saws-c3329247 2026-10-15T01:34:00.240Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745/hack-3-hide-behind-company-policy-c3329248 2026-10-15T01:34:00.240Z 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. Even a sole proprietor can establish and enforce such a policy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IqMOUDtRySQ 97 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-equipment-business-tips-how-to-hack-your-customers-your-v3275745/hack-4-hire-a-towing-service-c3329249 2026-10-15T01:34:00.240Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IqMOUDtRySQ/hqdefault.jpg Hack #4: Hire a Towing Service — Landscaping equipment & business tips- How to Hack your Customers, For businesses that need to transport heavy equipment like skid steers or excavators but don't own a pickup truck or trailer, this hack suggests hiring a towing service with a flatbed. Instead of investing thousands in a truck, trailer, insurance, and maintenance, establishing a relationship with a local towing company proves to be a cost-effective alternative. The towing service can pick up equipment from one site, deliver it to another, or even bring it back to a secure yard and drop it off, often for a fixed fee per lift (e.g., $70-$80). This eliminates the overhead of owning and maintaining transport vehicles and ensures equipment is moved professionally. https://www.youtube.com/embed/IqMOUDtRySQ 116 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-battery-charger-from-mendards-vs-cheapest-one-from-amazon-v3275746 2026-10-15T01:34:15.010Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JXknEqYuei0/hqdefault.jpg Best Battery charger from Mendards VS Cheapest one from Amazon This project compares a cheap, manual battery charger to an expensive, automatic one by attempting to jump-start a dead car.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-fish-tank-tour-plus-one-of-the-rarest-fish-in-the-world-v3275749/water-circulation-and-treatment-system-c3329297 2026-10-15T01:33:57.879Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-fish-tank-tour-plus-one-of-the-rarest-fish-in-the-world-v3275749/energy-management-for-climate-control-c3329298 2026-10-15T01:33:57.879Z 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://3x3custom.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 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:29.137Z 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:29.137Z 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:29.137Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/snow-plow-or-a-snow-pusher-whats-best-for-a-tractor-loader-or-skid-v3275757/concluding-remarks-and-community-engagement-c3329469 2026-10-15T01:34:29.137Z 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 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/comparing-different-snow-pusher-models-c3331672 2026-10-15T01:34:27.742Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/modular-design-for-durability-and-repair-c3331673 2026-10-15T01:34:27.742Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/poly-blocks-as-designed-failure-points-c3331674 2026-10-15T01:34:27.742Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/we-have-tons-of-heavy-wet-snow-to-plow-comparing-snow-pushers-v3276010/independent-floating-wings-for-curbs-and-containment-c3331675 2026-10-15T01:34:27.742Z 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.

More importantly, the suspended system allows the track to 'drop down' and absorb obstacles, ensuring consistent traction and preventing the machine from losing grip or becoming unstable, particularly vital in unpredictable snow environments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vy-nR-_r25Q 105 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tires-or-tracks-on-a-skid-steer-in-deep-snowcan-you-plow-with-a-v3276012/open-underframe-design-for-selfcleaning-and-reduced-maintenance-c3325253 2026-10-10T06:46:28.764Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vy-nR-_r25Q/hqdefault.jpg Open Underframe Design for Self-Cleaning and Reduced Maintenance — Tires or Tracks on a skid steer i Buck details ASV's unique open, single-rail undercarriage design, which offers significant maintenance advantages. 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/payloaders-the-does-and-donts-with-attachments-what-to-watch-out-for-v3276016 2026-10-15T01:34:35.414Z 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sema-2018-best-cars-trucks-and-heavily-modified-vehicles-at-the-show-v3276039 2026-10-22T16:39:15.347Z 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.

Ensure the tarp covers the entire floor area and extends generously up the inside walls and over the top edges of the trailer. This strategic placement creates a robust, flexible 'basin' that protects the trailer from debris, prevents any material from falling through gaps, and will significantly simplify the entire unloading process at the disposal site. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2AzKuikfLmE 59 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-without-the-right-tools-a-leaf-burrito-v3276044/bulk-loading-and-compacting-debris-in-trailer-c3331733 2026-10-15T01:34:35.069Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2AzKuikfLmE/hqdefault.jpg Bulk Loading and Compacting Debris in Trailer — Fall cleanup without the right tools = a LEAF Burrit With the trailer properly lined, the main phase of loading the yard waste begins. 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-without-the-right-tools-a-leaf-burrito-v3276044/secure-the-trailer-load-for-transport-c3331734 2026-10-15T01:34:35.069Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/fall-cleanup-without-the-right-tools-a-leaf-burrito-v3276044/final-site-and-equipment-cleanup-c3331735 2026-10-15T01:34:35.069Z 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. Use the backpack leaf blowers to meticulously clear any stray leaves, small debris, or dust from the driveways, sidewalks, and surrounding lawn areas that may have escaped during the loading process. Additionally, all landscaping equipment, such as mowers, shovels, and the truck itself, are given a quick blow-off to remove any accumulated dirt, grass clippings, or leaves.

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/demonstration-incorrect-loading-tongue-heavy-c3329586 2026-10-15T01:34:35.117Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/understanding-the-death-wobble-c3329587 2026-10-15T01:34:35.117Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/correct-loading-and-weight-distribution-c3329588 2026-10-15T01:34:35.117Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/secure-the-load-with-proper-tiedowns-c3329589 2026-10-15T01:34:35.117Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-load-a-trailer-mistakes-that-lead-to-accidents-v3276049/manage-excess-chainstrap-c3329590 2026-10-15T01:34:35.117Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dPmnBpQmX1g/hqdefault.jpg Manage Excess Chain/Strap — How Not to load a Trailer.

He stresses that you cannot simply attach a forestry kit to any standard skid steer, setting the stage for detailed explanations on compatibility and specific requirements. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrXzrcNQJcc 79 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/disc-mulcher-or-drum-mulcher-which-is-better-for-forestry-work-and-v3276053/assess-skid-steer-compatibility-and-hydraulic-needs-c3325650 2026-10-10T03:56:13.986Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HrXzrcNQJcc/hqdefault.jpg Assess Skid Steer Compatibility and Hydraulic Needs — Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher -Which is better This step details the compatibility requirements for a skid steer when operating a disk mulcher. The host demonstrates attaching a 'Quick Attach' disk mulcher to a Bobcat S185 skid steer, immediately pointing out that this particular machine is not suitable. The disk mulcher alone weighs about 2,500 pounds, requiring a much heavier-duty skid steer. The discussion emphasizes the importance of 'hydraulic horsepower,' which is a combination of flow rate (gallons per minute, ideally 36 GPM or higher) and pressure, as this directly translates to the power needed to effectively mulch trees. Without sufficient hydraulic horsepower, the mulcher will not perform optimally or safely. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrXzrcNQJcc 162 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/disc-mulcher-or-drum-mulcher-which-is-better-for-forestry-work-and-v3276053/identify-necessary-safety-features-and-machine-modifications-c3325651 2026-10-10T03:56:13.986Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HrXzrcNQJcc/hqdefault.jpg Identify Necessary Safety Features and Machine Modifications — Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher -Which i Safety is paramount in forestry mulching, and this step outlines the necessary protective features for the skid steer. It's crucial to have a specialized 'forestry door' instead of a standard glass door, as the latter can shatter from flying debris. Additionally, the machine must be equipped with a 'Falling Objects Protection Structure' (FOPS) rated at Level 2, which provides enhanced protection against larger falling objects like tree limbs. The video also highlights the importance of sealing off open areas in the engine compartment with covers to prevent sawdust and leaves from accumulating, which can create a serious fire hazard or suffocate the engine. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrXzrcNQJcc 90 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/disc-mulcher-or-drum-mulcher-which-is-better-for-forestry-work-and-v3276053/analyze-disk-mulcher-design-and-components-c3325652 2026-10-10T03:56:13.986Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HrXzrcNQJcc/hqdefault.jpg Analyze Disk Mulcher Design and Components — Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher -Which is better for fores This step focuses on the design and components of the 'Quick Attach' disk mulcher attachment. 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

Kevin clarifies that the machine's weight distribution is engineered to compensate for the single arm. The cab, and even some hydraulic components beneath it, are intentionally offset to the left side to balance the weight of the lift arm on the right. While there's only one lift cylinder (compared to two on traditional machines), it's twice the size, delivering equivalent performance. This design also results in fewer grease points and hydraulic fittings, simplifying maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/70M6sKge644 80 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/single-arm-skid-steer-how-they-work-v3276136/enhanced-visibility-from-the-singlearm-cab-c3329503 2026-10-15T01:34:29.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/70M6sKge644/hqdefault.jpg Enhanced Visibility from the Single-Arm Cab — Single arm skid steer & how they work The host highlights the superior visibility offered by the single-arm design, particularly to the rear. Unlike dual-arm skid steers which have a cross-member that obstructs the rear view, the Volvo's mono-boom provides an unobstructed line of sight. He emphasizes the importance of direct visibility over reliance on cameras, especially when continually moving forward and backward. The internal view from the cab further demonstrates the excellent all-around visibility. https://www.youtube.com/embed/70M6sKge644 90 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/single-arm-skid-steer-how-they-work-v3276136/enhanced-safety-for-entryexit-and-maintenance-c3329504 2026-10-15T01:34:29.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/70M6sKge644/hqdefault.jpg Enhanced Safety for Entry/Exit and Maintenance — Single arm skid steer & how they work Kevin explains that the side-entry door design drastically improves safety during entry and exit, especially compared to traditional machines where operators might have to climb over a raised, unsupported attachment. This feature eliminates many common injuries. He also highlights the safety strut, a red bar that allows a single person to lift and secure the boom, then exit through the side door to engage the safety strut without ever being under an unsupported boom. This is a significant safety improvement over the typical two-person job or unsafe practices on dual-boom machines. https://www.youtube.com/embed/70M6sKge644 160 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/single-arm-skid-steer-how-they-work-v3276136/universal-attachments-fueling-and-maintenance-access-c3329505 2026-10-15T01:34:29.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/70M6sKge644/hqdefault.jpg Universal Attachments, Fueling, and Maintenance Access — Single arm skid steer & how they work Kevin points out that the Volvo skid steer utilizes a universal quick-attach system for its coupler, allowing compatibility with attachments from other manufacturers.

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.

RED FLAGS, common mistakes, Introduce geogrid, a special geotextile matting, as a crucial horizontal reinforcement for retaining walls. Unlike filter fabric, geogrid has open spaces that allow water and soil particles to pass through while still providing structural strength. This prevents the trapping of water and dirt, a common issue with vertical fabric installations that can lead to wall failure. 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/retaining-wall-design-principles-geogrid-surcharge-c3329479 2026-10-15T01:34:27.813Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/install-drainage-aggregate-and-optional-drain-tile-c3329480 2026-10-15T01:34:27.813Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-build-a-retaining-wall-red-flags-common-mistakes-bad-v3276161/select-and-install-appropriate-retaining-wall-blocks-c3329481 2026-10-15T01:34:27.813Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/optimal-timing-for-laying-sod-spring-or-fall-c3331883 2026-10-15T01:34:36.015Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/avoid-summer-sod-installation-and-monitor-soil-temperature-c3331884 2026-10-15T01:34:36.015Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/optimal-timing-and-density-for-seeding-c3331885 2026-10-15T01:34:36.015Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/blend-lawn-colors-with-overseeding-c3331886 2026-10-15T01:34:36.015Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/seed-or-sod-which-is-better-for-your-yard-protips-v3276170/select-the-appropriate-grass-seed-mix-c3331887 2026-10-15T01:34:36.015Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YzPhPQHFZIs/hqdefault.jpg Select the Appropriate Grass Seed Mix — Seed Or Sod?

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-cut-down-a-tree-6-common-mistakes-v3276171/common-tree-felling-mistakes-c3331891 2026-10-15T01:34:29.946Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-not-to-cut-down-a-tree-6-common-mistakes-v3276171/addressing-viewer-feedback-and-future-content-teaser-c3331892 2026-10-15T01:34:29.946Z 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.

Understanding these distinct categories is crucial for transparent and profitable pricing. 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/determine-daily-overhead-rate-c3329994 2026-10-15T01:34:00.398Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/project-decomposition-and-variable-identification-c3329995 2026-10-15T01:34:00.398Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/account-for-labor-and-access-c3329996 2026-10-15T01:34:00.398Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-charge-for-landscaping-retaining-walls-patios-and-outdoor-v3276172/implement-microchanges-and-offer-tiered-bids-c3329997 2026-10-15T01:34:00.398Z 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).

For projects with unique challenges that significantly increase time or complexity beyond your standard calculations, apply a surcharge. This ensures that difficult conditions, such as extremely tight access (e.g., a narrow path between a house and a wooden retaining wall, blocked by a fence or deck) or mandatory tree removal that cannot be avoided, are appropriately compensated. Calculate the extra time and resources required for these specific difficulties, convert them into a cost, and add them as a surcharge to your standard per-square-foot or flat-rate pricing. For example, if a standard retaining wall is $20 per square foot, difficult access might increase it to $25 or $28 per square foot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ly8uqDcA43o 150 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/plowing-front-or-backwhich-is-the-best-plow-19-of-deep-snow-put-thats-v3276173 2026-10-10T04:15:19.251Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gGc_bCqdhZc/hqdefault.jpg Plowing - front or back-which is the best plow? 19" of deep snow put thats to the test...

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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. What you Need to kno Inside the cab, Danny demonstrates the basic controls using the joysticks in ISO pattern. 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:35.502Z 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:35.502Z 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:35.502Z 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. The host emphasizes that understanding these failure mechanisms is crucial for any hard surface project. He points out that some failure types are unique to paver systems, while others represent universal principles that can also manifest in asphalt and concrete installations. The ultimate takeaway is to develop the ability to recognize these distinct and universal failure patterns to ensure the successful and durable installation of any hardscape. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AuoTNvxH5hc 28 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-big-staircase-over-a-landscape-retaining-wall-connecting-v3276183 2026-10-15T01:34:08.910Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eDhvmH5zU_g/hqdefault.jpg Building a Big Staircase over a landscape retaining wall & connecting it with a bridge to a patio This project details the construction of an outdoor wooden staircase and an adjoining walkway designed to connect two different elevations in a yard, specifically bridging a rock retaining wall.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/protecting-electrical-connections-with-dielectric-grease-c3325510 2026-10-15T01:34:16.388Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/specialized-lubrication-for-nongreaseable-parts-c3325511 2026-10-15T01:34:16.388Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/perform-routine-fluid-and-filter-checks-c3325512 2026-10-15T01:34:16.388Z 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. This includes visually inspecting the engine's air filter for dirt buildup (which can be easily removed or replaced if necessary) and checking the oil filter for any leaks or signs of wear. Crucially, always remember to check the fluid levels (e.g., engine oil, hydraulic fluid) to ensure they are within the recommended range. A good practice is to date and record the hours on filters when they are changed so you know exactly when maintenance was last performed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceakJ1ZJK2s 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/36-years-of-heavy-equipment-landscape-construction-machinery-v3276188/strategic-equipment-parking-for-maintenance-and-safety-c3325513 2026-10-15T01:34:16.388Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ceakJ1ZJK2s/hqdefault.jpg Strategic Equipment Parking for Maintenance and Safety — 36 years of Heavy Equipment, Landscape & Co The way you park your heavy equipment can significantly impact its readiness and ease of maintenance. Always park the equipment in a position that allows for easy access to critical maintenance points, such as the engine compartment for fluid checks or battery access for jump-starting. Furthermore, consider the environmental conditions. If there's a risk of flooding or excessive moisture, park the equipment on high ground to prevent water damage to electrical systems and other sensitive components.

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

He shows a close-up of the boot's sole, pointing out small yellow dots which he identifies as embedded fiberglass or a similar glass-like material. He explains that this design provides 'insane traction' on icy surfaces, which he demonstrates by walking confidently on a treacherous, icy driveway without slipping. However, he highlights a significant drawback: this traction material also acts as a magnet for snow, mud, and ice, causing it to stick and freeze to the sole. When transitioning from soft terrain to hard, smooth surfaces (like concrete), this frozen buildup creates a slippery, unstable platform, effectively negating the traction until the debris is manually scraped off.

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.

The header beams are further secured with fasteners. For a large deck, multiple rows of support beams are used. The video shows a staggered cut in the header beams at corners, which locks the beams tightly together. This method enhances the deck's stability by creating an interlocked system where each post and beam supports and secures the others. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sUB3xXhFpjg 47 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/idiot-proof-do-it-yourself-deck-build-step-by-step-guide-to-composite-v3276203/lay-out-and-install-joists-c3325050 2026-10-10T03:37:02.504Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sUB3xXhFpjg/hqdefault.jpg Lay Out and Install Joists — "Idiot Proof" Do it Yourself Deck Build - Step by Step Guide to Compos After the main beams are in place, the joists are laid out and installed. For composite decking, a spacing of 16 inches on center is common. The first joist is typically marked at 15 1/4 inches from the starting point, and subsequent joists are marked every 16 inches. This method ensures that the deck boards will align correctly over the joists. The video emphasizes that the internal (inner) joists can be single, but the outer perimeter joists should be double-ply for added strength and to provide sufficient nailing support for railing posts and lattice. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sUB3xXhFpjg 309 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/idiot-proof-do-it-yourself-deck-build-step-by-step-guide-to-composite-v3276203/reinforce-joists-with-hurricane-clips-c3325052 2026-10-10T03:37:02.504Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sUB3xXhFpjg/hqdefault.jpg Reinforce Joists with Hurricane Clips — "Idiot Proof" Do it Yourself Deck Build - Step by Step Guid To further enhance the deck's stability and resistance to twisting or bending, hurricane clips (also known as rafter ties) are installed on every joist where it connects to a beam.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/does-milwaukee-tools-have-a-chance-v3276207 2026-10-15T01:34:01.415Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wN0ydW67FEw/hqdefault.jpg Does Milwaukee tools have a chance..

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-winterize-store-equipment-what-most-people-dont-know-v3276216/stabilize-fuel-and-circulate-through-system-c3326026 2026-10-15T01:34:02.596Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-winterize-store-equipment-what-most-people-dont-know-v3276216/fill-fuel-tanks-to-capacity-c3326027 2026-10-15T01:34:02.596Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-sod-mistakes-things-you-dont-know-how-to-do-it-right-v3276220/proper-sod-handling-and-storage-c3329630 2026-10-15T01:34:29.594Z 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://3x3custom.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 2026-10-15T01:34:29.594Z 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://3x3custom.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.

Many contractors build retaining walls incorrectly, leading to issues like landslides. Educating yourself on these pitfalls is the first step to avoiding similar problems. 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/understand-terraced-vs-single-engineered-walls-c3330719 2026-10-15T01:34:30.012Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/assess-soil-and-load-conditions-for-design-c3330720 2026-10-15T01:34:30.012Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/install-proper-drainage-aggregate-c3330721 2026-10-15T01:34:30.012Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/build-a-strong-footing-c3330722 2026-10-15T01:34:30.012Z 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.

Avoid 'anchor blocks' or blocks with simple lip systems that rely solely on gravity or minimal connection. These blocks are often lighter, hollow, and cheaper, making them attractive to contractors looking to save time and money, but they are prone to failure. Professional and durable retaining walls require blocks that can be securely connected and reinforced, typically with geogrid, to withstand significant loads. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yKp-u5Gr2QA 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-how-to-avoid-costly-mistakes-and-diy-your-landscaping-v3276226/avoid-filter-fabric-behind-wall-face-c3330724 2026-10-15T01:34:30.012Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKp-u5Gr2QA/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Filter Fabric Behind Wall Face — Retaining Walls - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and DIY your l Crucially, do not place filter fabric directly behind the face of 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/caterpillar-john-deer-toro-stihl-whats-the-best-equipment-for-v3276227 2026-10-15T01:34:30.782Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/amazing-spring-lawn-yard-care-tips-without-the-chemicals-also-great-v3276236/organic-lawn-care-summary-c3329391 2026-10-15T01:34:21.982Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dEAsFcibw08/hqdefault.jpg Organic Lawn Care Summary — AMAZING Spring Lawn & Yard Care tips without the Chemicals!

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

However, for the 'daily grind and hustle' of regular landscaping, electric tools are phenomenal due to benefits like no maintenance, no fuel costs, instant on/off, and low noise. He highlights that electric tools allow users to focus more on the task, eliminating common frustrations associated with gas engines.

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

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://3x3custom.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.

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/landscaping-construction-nightmare-how-to-hire-a-contractor-blocked-v3276276/practice-ethical-contracting-and-informed-consumer-choices-c3329510 2026-10-15T01:34:35.769Z 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://3x3custom.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.

The presenter explains that the video will cover crucial aspects like subgrade preparation, selecting the correct base material, leveling the first course of blocks, and creating 90-degree corners. The goal is to transform a problematic, failing wall into a sturdy, long-lasting structure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7bIdEXkJmOE 51 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276286/excavate-and-prepare-subgrade-c3323076 2026-10-10T00:17:06.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bIdEXkJmOE/hqdefault.jpg Excavate and Prepare Subgrade — How to Build a Retaining Wall The first step in building a new retaining wall is to remove any existing structures and prepare the subgrade. 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tool-review-echo-power-trimmer-weed-eating-beast-v3276287 2026-10-15T01:34:32.036Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-1-aeration-c3329381 2026-10-15T01:34:31.440Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-2-overseeding-c3329382 2026-10-15T01:34:31.440Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-3-crack-crevice-weed-control-c3329383 2026-10-15T01:34:31.440Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/upsell-4-full-fertilizing-weed-control-program-c3329385 2026-10-15T01:34:31.440Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-lawn-care-nut-talks-trailers-equipment-and-set-up-v3276300/conclusion-and-resources-c3329387 2026-10-15T01:34:31.440Z 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."

For the patio design, he uses a garden hose to visually lay out the future patio space, allowing the client to 'feel' the area and make informed decisions about furniture placement. This method ensures accurate sizing and client satisfaction, connecting the new patio seamlessly with the existing deck and backdrop.

This saves time and ensures a higher conversion rate. He demonstrates this by showing a $100 deposit check for a smaller landscaping job, emphasizing that even small deposits are important. He also highlights that personal presentation, a clean vehicle (even if it's an older model, dubbed the 'rusty rocket'), and appropriate attire contribute to making a good first impression, which can significantly improve sales success. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SWrWTwQX_1w 162 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/day-at-work-running-a-landscaping-company-v3276301/site-7-highstakes-board-meeting-preparation-c3329898 2026-10-15T01:34:21.738Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SWrWTwQX_1w/hqdefault.jpg Site 7: High-Stakes Board Meeting Preparation — Day at work Running a Landscaping Company The day concludes with a critical meeting with a townhome board association to discuss a massive retaining wall project, estimated to be a two-to-three-year scope of work costing around $100,000. For such a high-stakes meeting, the host highlights the importance of thorough preparation: driving a clean, official work truck instead of his older 'rusty rocket' personal vehicle, wearing a button-up shirt with his company's logo (Willow Creek Landscaping and Demolition), and bringing professional brochures from Versa-Lok that feature his company's past work. He stresses the necessity of continually practicing communication skills outside of high-stakes situations to perfect them when it truly matters.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/time-and-materials-bidding-basics-c3331838 2026-10-15T01:34:35.257Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/transitioning-to-lump-sum-bidding-c3331839 2026-10-15T01:34:35.257Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/maximizing-profit-through-efficiency-and-experience-c3331840 2026-10-15T01:34:35.257Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/gaining-practical-experience-through-experimentation-c3331841 2026-10-15T01:34:35.257Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-3-v3276305/conclusion-continuous-learning-and-sharing-c3331842 2026-10-15T01:34:35.257Z 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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/gain-practical-experience-track-costs-c3332216 2026-10-15T01:34:27.331Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/develop-a-datadriven-bid-formula-c3332217 2026-10-15T01:34:27.331Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/seek-and-analyze-customer-feedback-c3332218 2026-10-15T01:34:27.331Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/q-a-decoding-estimates-for-construction-landscaping-and-lawn-care-2-v3276420/optimize-pricing-and-presentation-c3332219 2026-10-15T01:34:27.331Z 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.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-do-i-expand-my-lawn-care-business-1-v3276431/assess-advanced-equipment-needs-and-rent-for-trials-c3332320 2026-10-15T01:34:29.447Z 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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-commercial-lawn-mowing-lawn-care-and-lawn-maintenance-v3276432 2026-10-15T01:34:19.593Z 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.

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://3x3custom.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.

A framework of PVC pipes was built to allow for caves, crevices, and essential water flow throughout the structure. This framework was then covered with styrofoam and 'Great Stuff' spray foam to form the bulk and shape of the artificial rockwork. Once this structure was created and modeled to achieve a rough texture, and fully cured, fiberglass resin was applied. Finally, aragonite sand (plain old aquarium sand) was thrown onto the wet resin to provide a natural-looking, porous surface that promotes the growth of coralline algae and corals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6NBcQFTMlC8 79 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-saltwater-reef-aquarium-v3276435/implement-advanced-lighting-and-access-system-c3324850 2026-10-10T06:25:38.265Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6NBcQFTMlC8/hqdefault.jpg Implement Advanced Lighting and Access System — 1700 Gallon Saltwater Reef Aquarium The aquarium's extensive lighting system is critical for coral health and growth. It consists of 14 metal halide bulbs, which provide high-intensity light, supplemented by 12 VHO (Very High Output) bulbs powered by a tinnix ballast, often used for specific spectrums or increased coverage. To allow for full and convenient access to the aquarium for maintenance, cleaning, and coral placement, the entire heavy light canopy was installed on a custom garage door system.

Key filtration components included a substantial 100-gallon "Volcano Skimmer" for efficient protein removal and a 140-gallon refugium, which acts as a natural filter by housing beneficial macroalgae and small invertebrates. To maintain stable environmental conditions crucial for marine life, the support room behind the aquarium featured its own climate-controlled system. This system included in-floor radiant heating to precisely control the ambient temperature of the room and indirectly the aquarium water. A separate air conditioning unit provided cooling during warmer periods. Furthermore, two air exchange systems were integrated: one recycled air back into the house during cold winter months to conserve heat, while the other circulated air outside during hot summer months, effectively managing humidity and preventing heat buildup. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6NBcQFTMlC8 47 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/1700-gallon-saltwater-reef-aquarium-v3276435/onsite-acrylic-fabrication-and-maintenance-c3324854 2026-10-10T06:25:38.265Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6NBcQFTMlC8/hqdefault.jpg On-Site Acrylic Fabrication and Maintenance — 1700 Gallon Saltwater Reef Aquarium The front and back viewing panels of the aquarium are constructed from exceptionally thick, 1.5-inch seamless acrylic.

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://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cool-way-to-wash-a-snowplow-truck-v3276437 2026-10-15T01:34:21.691Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wok-HNBiwgk/hqdefault.jpg Cool way to Wash a Snowplow truck?!?

Identify and isolate the chimney, as it is a free-standing, heavy structure that can fall unpredictably if not handled correctly. Carefully remove all surrounding house materials, such as roofing, framing, and siding, away from the chimney. Once isolated, use the excavator's bucket to apply a controlled 'flick' or tap to the top of the chimney, ensuring it falls precisely into the center of the already collapsed house structure in the basement. This controlled method is paramount for safety and to prevent the chimney from falling onto the excavator's cab or adjacent properties. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMocRCpftWI 222 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/demolition-point-of-view-crawl-inside-the-machine-v3276442/debris-removal-and-site-cleanup-c3325473 2026-10-15T01:34:35.901Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMocRCpftWI/hqdefault.jpg Debris Removal and Site Cleanup — Demolition -Point of View -Crawl inside the machine! Once the house is fully collapsed and debris is contained within the basement, begin loading the material onto dump trucks for transport and disposal. For wood and other light, voluminous debris, utilize 40-yard dumpsters or large dump trucks. It is crucial to 'pack' these trucks as tightly as possible by smashing and compacting the material. This maximizes load capacity, reducing the number of trips and associated costs. For heavier materials like concrete from the basement foundation, use smaller 10-yard dumpsters due to their weight. Ensure the site is thoroughly cleared of all remaining debris after loading. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMocRCpftWI 97 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-a-killing-snowplowing-v3276443 2026-10-10T03:58:49.394Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fchi3Av2IdA/hqdefault.jpg How to Make a Killing SnowPlowing This video provides insights into running a profitable snow plowing business by focusing on bidding strategies, optimizing equipment usage, and leveraging various pricing models.

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://3x3custom.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://3x3custom.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.

The presenter demonstrates an existing standard silt fence with wood stakes, pointing out that the stakes are positioned on the downward side of the slope. This is crucial because when runoff comes down the hill, it will push against the fabric of the fence, forcing it into the stakes, thereby enhancing its stability. If the stakes were on the upward side, a heavy flow could cause the fabric to blow out and separate from the stakes, rendering the fence ineffective. The buried portion of the fence acts as an anchor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/V8kzh9F5duU 54 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/erosion-control-and-silt-fence-v3276453/installing-steelreinforced-silt-fence-with-fabric-flap-c3323086 2026-10-10T05:54:26.069Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V8kzh9F5duU/hqdefault.jpg Installing Steel-Reinforced Silt Fence with Fabric Flap — Erosion Control and Silt Fence The worker proceeds to install a new section of steel-reinforced silt fence.

To address this, the solution involves reinforcing the soil with geogrid layers, which must extend beyond the failure zone and connect into solid, undisturbed soil. This method is similar to building engineered retaining walls. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dh0mdasNllg 87 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/fighting-a-landslide-heavy-equipment-against-natural-disaster-v3276458/excavation-and-initial-geogrid-layering-preparation-c3324353 2026-10-15T01:34:29.423Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dh0mdasNllg/hqdefault.jpg Excavation and Initial Geogrid Layering Preparation — Fighting a Landslide - Heavy Equipment against The excavation process begins, with an excavator removing the loose, failed soil from the slope.

The layering is adjusted to one-foot increments (instead of the original two-foot plan) to compensate for the wet conditions and provide additional reinforcement. This process is repeated, building up the slope layer by layer with compacted soil and geogrid, extending into the undisturbed hillside. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dh0mdasNllg 93 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-v3276460 2026-10-10T07:00:20.074Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bpqBh1RFpmc/hqdefault.jpg Western Snow Plow Review This video provides a detailed review and critique of the Western MVP3 V-Plow, highlighting significant issues with its cutting edge wear, controller design, and manufacturer support. The reviewer compares the performance and durability of two identical Western MVP3 plows, as well as contrasting the Western controller with alternative options like the Hiniker V-Plow joystick controller.

He shows two identical trucks, each equipped with a Western MVP3 plow purchased within four days of each other, and operated under identical conditions. One plow's cutting edge is completely worn out ('shot'), while the other is in good condition. The worn blade shows zero clearance from the ground, indicating the plow's components are susceptible to wear. He explains that this premature wear, requiring a $500 replacement for a plow that has only earned about $2,000, means 25% of gross earnings goes solely to replacing the cutting edge, which is unsustainable for a snowplowing business. He mentions that the manufacturer suggests 'micro-adjustments' to the 'T-bar' to prevent premature wear, but dismisses this as an impractical solution for operators who are not technicians. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpqBh1RFpmc 109 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-v3276460/controller-design-and-usability-flaws-c3323332 2026-10-10T07:00:20.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bpqBh1RFpmc/hqdefault.jpg Controller Design and Usability Flaws — Western Snow Plow Review The presenter critiques the Western MVP3 controller. He demonstrates its non-intuitive design, featuring eight small, irregularly patterned buttons. He points out a particularly confusing design flaw: two 'wing' buttons that control the blade's forward and backward movement. Pressing a button once moves the wing out, but pressing the *exact same button* a second time moves it in, making it difficult to predict the movement and leading to inefficiency, especially when trying to 'scoop' snow. This design is contrasted with more traditional and intuitive hand/foot controls found in other heavy equipment like a Case skid loader (shown in the background), which operators are trained on for decades. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpqBh1RFpmc 79 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-v3276460/comparison-to-alternative-controllers-and-ratings-c3323334 2026-10-10T07:00:20.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bpqBh1RFpmc/hqdefault.jpg Comparison to Alternative Controllers and Ratings — Western Snow Plow Review The reviewer further criticizes the Western MVP3 plow and its controller, giving the plow a rating of 4.5/10 and the controller a 1/10, deeming it the worst he has ever used. He showcases an 'ancient' Boss V controller and a Hiniker V-Plow joystick controller, both of which he finds significantly better and more intuitive than the Western one. He notes that the joystick controller is available as a no-extra-charge option for the Western plow, yet 98% of units are sold with the problematic button controller, highlighting a potential marketing or sales oversight by Western. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpqBh1RFpmc 102 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/western-snow-plow-review-v3276460/manufacturer-support-and-conclusion-c3323336 2026-10-10T07:00:20.074Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bpqBh1RFpmc/hqdefault.jpg Manufacturer Support and Conclusion — Western Snow Plow Review The reviewer expresses deep dissatisfaction with Western's customer service.

To summarize the deer butchering process: First, remove the two front legs, which will be de-boned and used for sausage. Next, extract the neck roast (the only bone-in cut) and the highly sought-after backstraps and tenderloins. The rib cage, after these parts are removed, is considered useless and should be discarded. Finally, process the two hindquarters to obtain round steaks, ensuring they are de-boned. Throughout the entire process, it's crucial to remove all black skin, excess fat, and blood from every cut of meat. This meticulous cleaning guarantees the most amazing tasting venison. After butchering, the meat can be bagged and frozen for later use. https://www.youtube.com/embed/x3qRvfvUxOg 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/rich-people-are-not-smarter-inspirational-video-motivational-speech-v3276467 2026-10-15T01:33:56.796Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dI9xRYkQHoI/hqdefault.jpg Rich People are Not Smarter.

Inspirational video/ Motiva The initial step in scaling your business is to fundamentally shift your mindset from that of a laborer to a strategic business owner. Recognize that successful, high-revenue landscaping and lawn maintenance companies don't thrive because the owner is constantly on the job site operating equipment. Instead, the owner is typically in an office setting, actively thinking and planning how to improve the company, secure more lucrative contracts, and enhance overall profitability. The speaker emphasizes that 'rich people are no smarter than you', but they leverage their intellect to make money. Your most productive contribution to the company's growth is by using your brain for strategic thinking, rather than your back for physical work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dI9xRYkQHoI 80 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/rich-people-are-not-smarter-inspirational-video-motivational-speech-v3276467/implement-the-oneyear-challenge-and-delegate-operations-c3331907 2026-10-15T01:33:56.796Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dI9xRYkQHoI/hqdefault.jpg Implement the 'One-Year Challenge' and Delegate Operations — Rich People are Not Smarter. Inspirati A crucial step is to deliberately separate yourself from the day-to-day operational tasks of your business. This involves implementing what the speaker refers to as a 'one-year challenge,' during which you commit to not physically working on any job sites. This separation forces you to elevate your role and empowers your team. For a lawn mowing/maintenance business aiming for $1 million, this might involve running four crews, with each generating $250,000-$275,000 annually. For hardscaping, landscaping, excavation, or demolition, you might run two to three crews, each contributing $375,000-$475,000 per year. The key is that *you* are not running these crews; you are building and overseeing a system. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dI9xRYkQHoI 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/rich-people-are-not-smarter-inspirational-video-motivational-speech-v3276467/cultivate-and-empower-highperforming-teams-c3331908 2026-10-15T01:33:56.796Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dI9xRYkQHoI/hqdefault.jpg Cultivate and Empower High-Performing Teams — Rich People are Not Smarter.

Inspirational video/ Mot With your crews capably managing operations, your time is now dedicated to working *on* the business, not *in* it. This involves crucial strategic activities such as increasing sales to continuously provide work for your multiple crews, and constantly refining your bidding and estimating processes to maximize profitability. For example, if you typically bid a mulching job for $1,000, strategically analyze and learn how to bid it for $1,100 while potentially reducing actual costs, thereby increasing your profit margin. This commitment to continuous improvement in sales and financial management is what will drive your business towards and beyond the million-dollar revenue mark.

On the Bobcat loader, it's implied that grease zerks can be difficult to locate or miss, leading to wear on pins and bushings and ultimately costly repairs. In contrast, the CAT (or in some shots, a JCB loader used as an example of good design) demonstrates superior attention to detail, making maintenance points easily accessible for regular servicing (e.g., every 50 hours as suggested for a specific component). https://www.youtube.com/embed/6gLHbxNlHoE 37 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/caterpillar-skid-loader-vs-bobcat-skid-steer-at-the-gieexpo-v3276471/comparing-rear-light-protection-c3324742 2026-10-10T00:17:31.248Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6gLHbxNlHoE/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Rear Light Protection — Caterpillar Skid Loader Vs BobCat Skid Steer at the GIE-Expo This step compares the design and protection of rear lights on both loader types. On the Bobcat T770, the lights are shown to be exposed and prone to popping out due to impact, requiring a flimsy, ineffective PVC guard as a temporary fix. This indicates a significant design flaw. In contrast, the CAT loader features flush-mounted, well-protected rear lights that are much more robust and do not suffer from the same vulnerability, eliminating the need for makeshift repairs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6gLHbxNlHoE 51 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/caterpillar-skid-loader-vs-bobcat-skid-steer-at-the-gieexpo-v3276471/evaluating-engine-compartment-accessibility-c3324743 2026-10-10T00:17:31.248Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6gLHbxNlHoE/hqdefault.jpg Evaluating Engine Compartment Accessibility — Caterpillar Skid Loader Vs BobCat Skid Steer at the G This segment focuses on the design of the engine compartment on the CAT Track skid steer loader.

The CAT 299D2 features an open track design that prevents mud and debris from packing in, allowing for easy self-cleaning—a crucial advantage in conditions like Florida's sandy, mucky soil or Minnesota's clay. This design minimizes wear on the track's teeth and sprocket. In contrast, the Bobcat T770's enclosed track assembly has no clearance, leading to dirt and mud accumulating and hardening, making it extremely difficult to clean, even with a pressure washer, and causing accelerated wear. The video also highlights CAT's 'Multi-Terrain Track' option, which is a heavy-duty, one-piece construction with spring-loaded rollers designed to 'snake over' obstacles like curbs or logs, reducing impact and wear, especially beneficial for landscaping work. Bobcat's track tensioning involves a grease fitting to tighten a piston, which is a different approach. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6gLHbxNlHoE 138 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-get-a-free-stihl-or-husqvarna-saw-plus-halloween-decorations-v3276472 2026-10-15T01:34:22.067Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vxUkY25QqgA/hqdefault.jpg How To get a Free STIHL or Husqvarna Saw- Plus Halloween Decorations Tour!

Many landscapers opt for the cheapest, which are often hollow and have a small lip on the back. These hollow blocks can trap water inside their cavities, especially if they are solid on top but hollow on the bottom. When this trapped water goes through freeze-thaw cycles, it expands and contracts, pushing the blocks over. An example of a hollow block with a hornet's nest inside is shown to illustrate the open cavities. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VVB2P06oE5A 56 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-and-why-they-fail-v3276478/failure-reason-2-inadequate-pinning-system-c3323954 2026-10-10T00:17:33.063Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VVB2P06oE5A/hqdefault.jpg Failure Reason 2: Inadequate Pinning System — How to Build a Retaining wall (and why they Fail) The second issue discussed is the inadequate pinning system of many cheap blocks. Instead of using pins that drive down and through the blocks for a secure mechanical connection, these blocks rely solely on a small lip on the back to connect one block to the one below it. This lip is insufficient. As soon as ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles, or erosion occur, this weak connection gives way, causing the blocks to push up and over, losing all connection. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VVB2P06oE5A 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-and-why-they-fail-v3276478/failure-reason-3-poor-drainage-and-compaction-c3323955 2026-10-10T00:17:33.063Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VVB2P06oE5A/hqdefault.jpg Failure Reason 3: Poor Drainage and Compaction — How to Build a Retaining wall (and why they Fail) The third critical oversight leading to retaining wall failure is the lack of sufficient drainage aggregate behind the wall and improper compaction. When the ground behind the wall settles (due to improper compaction), water can become trapped, creating hydrostatic pressure against the wall. Instead of weeping evenly through the wall's face, the trapped water builds pressure, causing the wall to 'belly out' and eventually blow out. The presenter points out the settled grade behind a failed wall, illustrating the problem. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VVB2P06oE5A 64 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-and-why-they-fail-v3276478/understanding-sudden-failure-and-differentiating-your-service-c3323956 2026-10-10T00:17:33.063Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VVB2P06oE5A/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Sudden Failure and Differentiating Your Service — How to Build a Retaining wall (and Retaining walls don't gradually fail; they 'pop like a balloon' when critical pressure or movement is reached.

Proper compaction throughout the installation process is also crucial. The goal is to educate the customer on how your installation methods differ from typical companies, ensuring they are comparing 'apples to apples' when looking at quotes.

The operator uses the machine's tracks and blade to press down and consolidate the earth. The process of 'flat-topping' is explained: instead of leaving a rough, porous surface where water can soak in and create mud, the goal is to create a densely packed, smooth surface. This compacted, 'flat-topped' surface will cause rainwater to hit, ricochet, and cascade down the slope rather than saturate the soil, preventing the formation of a muddy, unworkable site. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PCQHV6az_uw 62 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-prepare-for-rain-on-your-construction-landscaping-site-v3276480/augment-compaction-with-skid-steer-c3325496 2026-10-15T01:34:25.538Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PCQHV6az_uw/hqdefault.jpg Augment Compaction with Skid Steer — How to Prepare for Rain on your Construction Landscaping site.

He notes that many small businesses, including those in woodworking, struggle with organization. The host recommends that woodworking business owners should, at a minimum, tally their year-to-date expenses and revenue by October. This early assessment allows for two months of strategic planning, providing insight into the business's current financial health and potential tax liabilities. For a woodworking business, this means understanding income from finished projects and expenditures on materials, tools, and labor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5eRGl6GWfls 194 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/small-business-tax-advice-and-tax-deductions-v3276482/strategizing-woodworking-resource-allocation-c2622049 2026-10-10T05:44:23.803Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5eRGl6GWfls/hqdefault.jpg Strategizing Woodworking Resource Allocation — Small Business Tax Advice and Tax Deductions Based on the mid-year assessment, if a woodworking business owner identifies a high projected taxable income, the remaining months (November and December) can be used to make strategic decisions.

This process involves applying liquid brine to dry salt at the time of application. Pre-wetted salt is more effective because the liquid activates the salt immediately and helps it stick to the pavement, preventing it from bouncing off or being blown away. This allows for a significant reduction in dry salt usage, from 300-400 pounds per acre to just 100-200 pounds per acre, achieving 8 times the coverage compared to dry salt alone. The result is better adherence and faster melting action. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VSGls9Xt1Bg 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sima-snow-and-ice-management-rates-charles-glossop-v3276487/brine-making-process-with-snowex-brine-maker-c3325019 2026-10-10T00:17:35.676Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VSGls9Xt1Bg/hqdefault.jpg Brine Making Process with SnowEx Brine Maker — SIMA Snow and Ice Management Rates Charles Glossop The process of making brine is demonstrated using a SnowEx brine maker. Bulk salt is loaded into the unit and slowly discharged into a whirlpool of water. A computer in the brine maker continuously reads the salinity level. Once the mixture reaches the optimal 23.3% salinity, which is the definition of brine, it is automatically transferred into large storage tanks. These tanks, typically blue, hold the prepared brine. The facility can produce approximately 1,000 gallons of brine per hour. Additional tanks are brought in during winter to meet increased demand, ensuring a total capacity of around 18,000 gallons. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VSGls9Xt1Bg 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sima-snow-and-ice-management-rates-charles-glossop-v3276487/temperaturedependent-brine-customization-c3325020 2026-10-10T00:17:35.676Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VSGls9Xt1Bg/hqdefault.jpg Temperature-Dependent Brine Customization — SIMA Snow and Ice Management Rates Charles Glossop Effective brine application depends critically on pavement temperature. While 23.3% brine is effective down to 15°F, simply increasing the salt concentration beyond this point would cause it to freeze. To combat colder temperatures (e.g., 4°F to -20°F), calcium chloride is added to the brine. A 20% calcium additive extends the effectiveness down to 4°F, and a 30% additive works down to -20°F. This custom blending ensures the brine remains active and prevents freezing, allowing for year-round effectiveness and optimal melting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VSGls9Xt1Bg 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sima-snow-and-ice-management-rates-charles-glossop-v3276487/versatile-snow-plow-systems-c3325021 2026-10-10T00:17:35.676Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VSGls9Xt1Bg/hqdefault.jpg Versatile Snow Plow Systems — SIMA Snow and Ice Management Rates Charles Glossop Various snow removal equipment is showcased, including Kage plow systems designed for skid steers and tractors.

Understand that heavy rain events cause significant roof water to shed directly onto the soil behind the wall. This water saturates the soil, increasing its weight and creating hydrostatic pressure against the wall. This increased pressure, coupled with the weight of the garage (surcharge), overloads the wall, leading to its catastrophic and premature failure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KkKmImQofB0 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/catastrophic-retaining-wall-failure-goes-to-court-in-stpaul-mn-v3276494/propose-alternative-regrading-the-slope-c696181 2026-10-10T03:34:35.055Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KkKmImQofB0/hqdefault.jpg Propose Alternative: Regrading the Slope — Catastrophic Retaining Wall Failure Goes to Court in St.P Consider alternative solutions to simply rebuilding the retaining wall, which can be costly. One effective alternative is to re-establish the natural grade of the slope. This involves removing the failed wall material and reshaping the earth into a gentle slope, typically a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio (meaning for every 1 foot of vertical rise, there are 2 or 3 feet of horizontal run). This approach eliminates the need for a structural wall to hold back the soil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KkKmImQofB0 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/catastrophic-retaining-wall-failure-goes-to-court-in-stpaul-mn-v3276494/implement-water-management-and-calculate-cost-savings-c696182 2026-10-10T03:34:35.055Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KkKmImQofB0/hqdefault.jpg Implement Water Management and Calculate Cost Savings — Catastrophic Retaining Wall Failure Goes to To complement regrading or in areas where a retaining wall is still present, implement proper water management. This includes installing gutters on the garage and creating a gentle 'swale' or shallow depression in the landscape to funnel water away from the structures and the slope, directing it towards a suitable drainage point like the street. This prevents water from saturating the soil behind any remaining or rebuilt wall sections and reduces hydrostatic pressure. This comprehensive approach can result in significant cost savings (e.g., $6,006 compared to a $17,000-$18,000 wall replacement). https://www.youtube.com/embed/KkKmImQofB0 177 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/review-of-keith-kalfas-book-how-to-start-a-landscaping-business-v3276495 2026-10-10T05:19:38.292Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PXpBS-a2M3k/hqdefault.jpg Review of Keith Kalfas Book How to Start a Landscaping Business This video is a promotional piece encouraging viewers to purchase a book titled 'How to Start a Landscaping Business Right Now with No Startup Money' by Keith Kalfas.

The speaker shares a painful experience with a commercial retaining wall project, valued at over $90,000, for which his company received no payment. He explains that commercial work typically has a 60-day minimum pay period, and general contractors sometimes employ a strategy of counter-suing subcontractors for double the amount owed to avoid payment. Despite having a project foreman on the general contractor's side who agreed his work was done correctly, the general contractor refused to pay. The speaker chose not to pursue legal action through the courts, having learned that judges often split the difference in construction disputes, which would still result in a significant loss given the initial $90,000 outstanding. He highlights an issue where the general contractor's surveyor mistakenly staked the top of the retaining wall instead of the bottom, throwing off the entire layout, adding to the complexity and risk. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GMYaaqHSgqU 227 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/a-tour-of-landscaping-jobs-i-have-lost-money-on-v3276500/tiered-garden-with-city-inspector-weather-delays-c2534605 2026-10-10T03:49:07.264Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GMYaaqHSgqU/hqdefault.jpg Tiered Garden with City Inspector & Weather Delays — A Tour of Landscaping Jobs I have lost money on The speaker details a residential tiered garden project where a scheduled two-week job stretched into two months due to a combination of weather delays and city inspection issues.

If they are a subcontractor, they must complete an IRS Form W-9, providing their Federal Identification Number (FEIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) if they are a sole proprietor. This form is essential for the business to issue a 1099 form at the end of the year for tax reporting. Failure to issue a 1099 or misclassifying a subcontractor can lead to significant fines and penalties from the IRS. Conversely, if the individual is an employee, they will need to fill out a Form W-4, which is used to determine the correct amount of income tax to withhold from their paycheck. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 78 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hire-employees-and-how-to-start-a-business-v3276503/draft-a-comprehensive-employment-agreement-c3327896 2026-10-15T16:22:35.915Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mUfJaxgEsk0/hqdefault.jpg Draft a Comprehensive Employment Agreement — How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business It is highly recommended that both the employer and the employee sign a detailed employment agreement. This document should clearly spell out fundamental terms and conditions of employment. Key items to include are: expected work hours and days (e.g., Monday-Friday, with potential for Saturdays, ensuring clear expectations regarding weekends), company holidays observed (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving), and the frequency of pay (e.g., weekly, bi-monthly). Critically, it should define the employee's specific duties. For industries like landscaping or construction where tasks can vary greatly, a broad clause such as 'all other duties deemed part of your job by supervisor' can be included to cover diverse responsibilities. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 159 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hire-employees-and-how-to-start-a-business-v3276503/understand-employee-payroll-tax-obligations-c3327897 2026-10-15T16:22:35.915Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mUfJaxgEsk0/hqdefault.jpg Understand Employee Payroll Tax Obligations — How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business When you hire an employee, the process of paying them involves more than just their agreed-upon hourly wage or salary. You, as the employer, become responsible for withholding and remitting various payroll taxes. These typically include the employee's portion of Social Security and Medicare (FICA), which is 7.65% of their gross pay, and you, the employer, must match that 7.65%. Additionally, you are responsible for paying unemployment insurance premiums. Due to the complexities of these calculations and quarterly filings, it's often advisable for business owners, especially those new to payroll, to utilize professional payroll services (like ADP or Paychex) or engage an accounting firm. These services handle the withholding, reporting, and payment of these taxes, ensuring compliance and avoiding penalties. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 203 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hire-employees-and-how-to-start-a-business-v3276503/calculate-true-cost-of-an-employee-c3327906 2026-10-15T16:22:35.915Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mUfJaxgEsk0/hqdefault.jpg Calculate True Cost of an Employee — How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business Many business owners initially only consider the hourly rate they agree to pay an employee. However, it's crucial to understand the actual 'out-of-pocket' expense. For an employee paid $10 per hour, you must factor in the employer's share of FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare), which adds approximately another dollar per hour (around 10%). On top of this, you need to account for workers' compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, and any additional accounting or payroll service fees. Depending on the industry and specific state regulations, these additional costs can escalate the effective hourly cost of a $10/hour employee to between $11.50 and $13.00 per hour, representing a 15% to 30% increase over the base wage. This significant overhead must be considered when budgeting for new hires. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 176 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hire-employees-and-how-to-start-a-business-v3276503/consider-overtime-and-salaried-options-c3327907 2026-10-15T16:22:35.915Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mUfJaxgEsk0/hqdefault.jpg Consider Overtime and Salaried Options — How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business Overtime regulations vary by state and industry (e.g., some states may require overtime pay after 40 hours for businesses over a certain revenue threshold, while others might allow up to 48 hours for smaller businesses or specific industries like trucking). It's crucial for employers to check their local and state ordinances regarding overtime. Consistently requiring employees to work beyond standard hours can lead to significant additional labor and tax burdens due to overtime pay. To manage these costs, businesses may need to adjust work schedules, hire a second crew, or consider bringing on certain personnel as salaried employees, as overtime rules typically only apply to hourly workers. This strategic approach helps control labor costs and avoid unexpected expenses. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 170 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hire-employees-and-how-to-start-a-business-v3276503/emphasize-timely-documentation-c3327908 2026-10-15T16:22:35.915Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mUfJaxgEsk0/hqdefault.jpg Emphasize Timely Documentation — How to Hire Employees and How to Start a Business To prevent future complications with the IRS or employment disputes, it is absolutely critical to obtain all required documentation from a new hire immediately upon their start date. This includes the W-9 for subcontractors or the W-4 for employees, along with the signed employment agreement. Delaying this paperwork can lead to situations where an individual works for a period and then leaves, making it difficult to obtain the necessary information for year-end tax forms (like 1099s or W-2s). Proactive documentation from the 'front end' of the hiring process ensures legal compliance, establishes clear expectations, and mitigates potential legal and financial risks for the business owner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUfJaxgEsk0 54 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/live-sales-coaching-call-v3276504 2026-10-10T03:36:38.102Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n2Ea6HiEeDY/hqdefault.jpg Live Sales Coaching Call This video details a business strategy for landscape contractors, focusing on pre-qualifying potential customers over the phone before conducting on-site visits.

This fabric (also known as geotextile) is essential for separating the subbase from the new aggregate material, preventing them from mixing and maintaining the integrity of the parking lot. For estimation, calculate the total square footage of the area using the dimensions determined in Step 2: 210 lineal feet x 105 lineal feet = 22,050 square feet. This square footage is then used to determine the number of rolls of filter fabric required. If each roll provides 2,205 square feet of coverage (as implied by 10 rolls for 22,050 sq ft), then 10 rolls would be needed. Price out the cost per roll, which in this example is $175 per roll, leading to a material cost of $1,750 for the fabric. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WmPMLAI7aDU 44 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-excavating-and-grading-v3276505/calculate-class-5-base-material-quantity-and-cost-c696193 2026-10-10T03:37:44.844Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WmPMLAI7aDU/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Class 5 Base Material Quantity and Cost — How to Bid Excavating and Grading Determine the quantity of Class 5 base material needed. Using the dimensions of the area (210 lineal feet x 105 lineal feet) and a planned depth of 0.5 feet (6 inches), calculate the volume in cubic feet: 210 ft * 105 ft * 0.5 ft = 11,025 cubic feet. Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27: 11,025 cubic feet / 27 = 408.33 cubic yards. Finally, convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by a factor of 1.36 (approximate conversion factor for aggregate): 408.33 cubic yards * 1.36 = 555.33 tons. Rounding up, this project requires 561 tons of recycled Class 5 base material. The proposal states this as 561 tons at a cost of $7,854 (which implies a price of $14 per ton including delivery and profit). https://www.youtube.com/embed/WmPMLAI7aDU 391 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-excavating-and-grading-v3276505/estimate-cost-for-grading-and-compacting-class-5-base-c696194 2026-10-10T03:37:44.844Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WmPMLAI7aDU/hqdefault.jpg Estimate Cost for Grading and Compacting Class 5 Base — How to Bid Excavating and Grading Include the cost for grading and compacting the Class 5 base material in the estimate. In this example, $8,500 is allocated for this task. Compaction can often be achieved through 'compression compaction,' where dump trucks delivering the material drive over the laid base repeatedly. For thinner layers (like 6 inches), this, combined with a skid loader driving over it, can be sufficient. If available, a plate compactor can be used, but may not always be strictly necessary.

Worn-down handgrips, footpegs, and tires indicate heavy use, suggesting the seller might not be truthful about the vehicle's low mileage. The overall condition of the plastic components, absence of cracks, or evidence of poor repairs also provides clues about past treatment. Most importantly, always ask for maintenance records. A seller with detailed service history demonstrates consistent care, providing a baseline of known maintenance and increasing buyer confidence. Conversely, a lack of records should raise concerns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/R7RuS6A-3o0 109 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-buy-4wheelers-jet-skis-dirtbikes-and-more-v3276506/motorcycle-example-cost-of-neglected-storage-c3325036 2026-10-10T00:33:35.263Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R7RuS6A-3o0/hqdefault.jpg Motorcycle Example: Cost of Neglected Storage — How to Buy 4-wheelers, Jet skis, Dirtbikes and more The speaker uses a 1999 Marauder motorcycle as an example of a machine that had been sitting for a long time. Although the odometer showed only 6,000 miles, indicating low usage, the lack of activity caused various issues.

Pine trees alter the soil's pH, making it acidic and unsuitable for healthy grass growth. To remedy this, the solution involves removing the affected soil, hauling it away, and replacing it with fresh, pulverized, screened, and chemically tested black dirt. This new soil is specifically tested for contaminants like arsenic, common in areas with older homes. The project is estimated at $2,000, with $550 allocated for the dirt and $1,450 for labor. Before any excavation, it is crucial to contact utility locators to mark underground lines (cable, phone, gas), especially along boulevards where high concentrations of utilities are present.

The client, Steph, just moved into her house in November. The owner notes that while neighbors have elaborate paver patios and raised boulder walls (costing $15,000-$30,000), he recommends against duplicating that due to cost and it being 'overkill for the neighborhood'. Instead, he suggests starting with basic clean-up: removing overgrown plants (especially in the corners), removing and replacing existing rock around the house with fresh 3/4-inch angular limestone, and removing a sandpit, two planter boxes, and a vegetable garden in the backyard. He also suggests replacing sun-loving plants (hostas) with shade-appropriate plants and vice-versa, as the existing plants are misplaced and struggling. The total cost for cleaning and replacing rock around the house is estimated at $5,000. These changes focus on cost-effective improvements and better plant placement, ensuring a refreshed and tidy look without extensive construction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MgmSiqq49Ok 1259 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-get-rid-of-japanese-beetles-v3276552 2026-10-10T04:15:35.735Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GIefnfxyXt0/hqdefault.jpg How to Get Rid of Japanese Beetles This video provides a detailed guide on how to identify beetle grub infestations in your lawn's sod.

The goal is to understand how these blocks go together, where they would be used, and when to choose between various styles. The presenter expresses a personal preference for Versa-Lok due to its versatility and suitability for large-scale, structurally engineered walls, although acknowledging experience with other brands like Anchor and Keystone. The discussion aims to educate viewers on the practical aspects and choices available in retaining wall construction. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HpixlcF_nJk 109 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-versalok-v3276554/versalok-standard-unit-solid-design-and-pin-connection-c3324540 2026-10-10T04:06:28.790Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HpixlcF_nJk/hqdefault.jpg Versa-Lok Standard Unit: Solid Design and Pin Connection — Retaining Walls Versa-Lok The presenter demonstrates the Versa-Lok standard unit, emphasizing its solid concrete construction. Unlike hollow blocks, the Versa-Lok unit is entirely solid, which prevents it from busting apart easily, for example, when struck by a hammer. The block's perfectly flat top and bottom surfaces are highlighted as crucial for stability, as there are no 'nubs' or 'lips' that could crack or degrade over time, a common issue with other block types. The key to Versa-Lok's connection method is its pin system. Pins are dropped into four pinholes on the top of a block, and these pins align with slots on the bottom of the block above it. This creates a secure, spiked connection that prevents forward or backward movement, even with ground or frost movement, ensuring the wall's integrity. The presenter demonstrates how to slide blocks into place before pinning them, ensuring a tight fit and a solid level unit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HpixlcF_nJk 149 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-versalok-v3276554/comparing-versalok-solid-to-hollow-core-blocks-c3324541 2026-10-10T04:06:28.790Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HpixlcF_nJk/hqdefault.jpg Comparing Versa-Lok (Solid) to Hollow Core Blocks — Retaining Walls Versa-Lok The discussion shifts to hollow-core retaining wall blocks, often used in commercial applications due to their lower material cost. The presenter explains that while these blocks are cheaper per unit because they contain less concrete, the contractor becomes responsible for 'core-filling' these voids with drainage aggregate (specifically 3/4-inch clear angular stone, not round river rock or class 5 gravel). This additional step significantly increases the cost and labor for the project (averaging about 200 pounds per square foot of wall for core fill and drainage aggregate). It's crucial to core-fill correctly, as it's essential for the block's engineered strength and proper drainage. If not done right, it compromises the wall's integrity. Versa-Lok, being solid, does not require core-filling for strength, allowing for faster installation and higher stacking (up to three blocks high before needing backfill), which ultimately reduces labor costs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HpixlcF_nJk 205 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-versalok-v3276554/splitting-versalok-blocks-for-customization-c3324542 2026-10-10T04:06:28.790Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HpixlcF_nJk/hqdefault.jpg Splitting Versa-Lok Blocks for Customization — Retaining Walls Versa-Lok The presenter demonstrates the versatility of Versa-Lok blocks by showcasing how they can be easily split to create custom sizes or rough faces for corners and unique designs. Using a 'MasterSplitter' machine, a Versa-Lok standard unit block is split in half. The result is two blocks, each with a rough, 'natural stone' face, allowing them to be used for outside corners or other aesthetic purposes while maintaining the integrity of the Versa-Lok system. This ability to easily customize the blocks on-site without extensive cutting is highlighted as a significant advantage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HpixlcF_nJk 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/retaining-walls-versalok-v3276554/exploring-versalok-aesthetic-options-and-cap-units-c3324543 2026-10-10T04:06:28.790Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HpixlcF_nJk/hqdefault.jpg Exploring Versa-Lok Aesthetic Options and Cap Units — Retaining Walls Versa-Lok The video introduces Versa-Lok's aesthetic options, specifically the 'weathered' and 'mosaic' units, which offer a different visual appeal compared to the standard, non-weathered units. Weathered units are intentionally tumbled during manufacturing to create a more aged, textured look, adding character to the wall. The mosaic pattern utilizes various sizes of Versa-Lok blocks (standard, Accent, and Cap units) to create a random, natural stone appearance, akin to a 'jigsaw puzzle' when installed. Cap units are also demonstrated, which are glued into place on top of the wall. These cap units can be pulled slightly forward to create an 'eyebrow' or 'shadow' effect, adding visual interest and hiding any minor imperfections in the main wall courses. This eye-brow effect also provides a perfectly straight top line for the wall, enhancing its finished appearance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HpixlcF_nJk 108 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg How to bid a Paver Patio This video provides a detailed guide on how to bid and estimate a paver patio project, particularly focusing on residential installations with complex designs or challenging site conditions.

These challenges underscore the importance of accurate bidding and estimation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 54 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555/understanding-market-pricing-c3333108 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Market Pricing — How to bid a Paver Patio Transition to an office setting, the presenter emphasizes the criticality of understanding local market prices for residential paver projects. He notes that in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (Minneapolis, Minnesota), the average price ranges from $18 to $23 per square foot. He explicitly states that these rates apply only to residential projects and warns that commercial projects require a different bidding approach, which he will cover in future videos. He also mentions that labor costs can vary significantly by region and impact overall pricing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 127 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555/accurate-measurement-waste-calculation-c3333109 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg Accurate Measurement & Waste Calculation — How to bid a Paver Patio The presenter demonstrates a practical method for measuring complex, semi-circular patio areas. Instead of using complex geometric formulas, he simplifies the process by breaking down the area into easily measurable squares (e.g., 5 feet by 3 feet equals 15 square feet) and then adding these square footage amounts together. He stresses that this initial measurement doesn't need to be perfectly accurate, but rather a close estimate to provide the customer with a preliminary bid. He then points out a common mistake: contractors often only measure the finally installed area. He explains that this is incorrect because you pay for *all* materials purchased, including the cut-off pieces that are discarded. Failing to account for these 'uninstalled' portions leads to significant financial losses. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 279 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555/leveraging-supplier-data-for-final-billing-c3333110 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg Leveraging Supplier Data for Final Billing — How to bid a Paver Patio To ensure accurate final billing and avoid losing money on material waste, the presenter advises obtaining a detailed spreadsheet or invoice from your material supplier. This document should list every block and material delivered to the job site. Even if a portion of a paver is cut off and thrown away, it was still purchased from the supplier. By using the supplier's actual delivery records, you can charge the customer for all materials you acquired, thereby preventing financial losses due to waste. This approach provides an accurate quantity, including cuts and waste, and forms the basis for your final invoice. The presenter stresses the importance of communicating this process to clients upfront so they understand that their final bill will reflect materials delivered, not just those visibly installed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 209 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555/pricing-for-deeper-base-material-c3333111 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg Pricing for Deeper Base Material — How to bid a Paver Patio A specific formula is provided for pricing base material for paver projects: charge $1 per square foot per inch of base material. The presenter explains that the industry standard for paver base is typically 6 inches. If a project requires more than 6 inches of base, that additional depth should be charged as an extra line item. For the example patio, which is 344 square feet, installing 4 inches of base would be 344 sq ft * $4/sq ft = $1,376. If 6 inches were installed, it would be 344 sq ft * $6/sq ft = $2,064. In his actual bid for the example project, he charged $688 for 4 inches of extra base material, effectively halving the standard rate. This adjustment was made because his crew was already on-site for other extensive landscaping work, making it more efficient and cost-effective to add the base prep at a reduced rate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 255 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-a-paver-patio-v3276555/final-pricing-strategy-and-customer-communication-c3333112 2026-10-15T01:34:26.210Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZqx3tC2S4o/hqdefault.jpg Final Pricing Strategy and Customer Communication — How to bid a Paver Patio The final step involves synthesizing all pricing components into a competitive and profitable bid and communicating it effectively to the customer. The presenter clarifies that for the example patio, he charged $19.70 per square foot for the paver installation itself. This price falls within his local market range ($18-$23/sq ft) but is on the higher end due to the small size of the patio and the significant number of cuts required by its semi-circular design. He also notes that he incorporates the cost of cutting directly into the per-square-foot price for the blocks. For the final invoice, he relies on the supplier's spreadsheet, which details all materials delivered, including any waste or cut pieces. This ensures transparency, validates costs, and allows him to promptly bill the client after project completion. By employing these strategies, contractors can ensure they are compensated for all materials and labor, maintaining profitability while delivering fair pricing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SZqx3tC2S4o 188 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-install-paver-patios-walks-and-driveways-v3276556 2026-10-10T04:25:50.965Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zBKG2lp4FB8/hqdefault.jpg How to Install Paver Patios, Walks and Driveways This project guides viewers through the process of installing a paver patio, particularly addressing challenges posed by saturated subsoil.

A chalk line or string line is used to mark the cutting lines directly on the pavers. A chop saw (or wet saw) is then used to make precise cuts. Once all pavers are cut and laid, paver edging is installed along the perimeter to lock the pavers in place. Finally, polymeric sand or regular masonry sand is swept into the joints between the pavers. The patio is then compacted one last time to settle the sand into the joints and lock everything together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zBKG2lp4FB8 191 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-buy-and-sell-heavy-equipment-v3276557 2026-10-10T05:48:39.589Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iKgghZmnygU/hqdefault.jpg How to Buy and Sell Heavy Equipment This project provides a comprehensive guide on how to inspect a used Bobcat skid steer loader to identify potential mechanical issues, wear and tear, and maintenance needs before making a purchase.

Look for any major cuts, tears, or excessive wear on the treads. While some separation due to age is typical, major damage could indicate rough use or neglect. In contrast, examine steel tracks (seen on another machine in the background). Steel tracks provide excellent traction for dirt work but can be very tough on the machine, causing increased wear on other components if not properly maintained. Regardless of track type, ensure they are adequately tensioned. Loose tracks can pop off, causing damage to themselves and potentially the machine's frame. For rubber tracks, maintaining proper air pressure in the tires (which support the tracks) and ensuring good tire tread are key to keeping the tracks tight. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iKgghZmnygU 96 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-buy-and-sell-heavy-equipment-v3276557/operational-checks-and-driving-tips-c3325140 2026-10-10T05:48:39.589Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iKgghZmnygU/hqdefault.jpg Operational Checks and Driving Tips — How to Buy and Sell Heavy Equipment Start the machine to perform an operational check. Drive it and observe if it pulls to one side, which often indicates a steering adjustment issue or worn bushings rather than a major problem. If the machine spins in circles when the parking brake is off and no controls are engaged, it indicates a significant drive system problem. When using over-the-tire rubber tracks, ensure the underlying tires have good tread and are properly inflated, as this is how tension is maintained. If these tracks are loose, the tires can spin inside the tracks (known as 'cowboying out'), leading to rapid wear or track failure. When turning with rubber tracks on asphalt, slightly lift the front of the machine with the bucket to reduce friction and prevent damage to both the tracks and the pavement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iKgghZmnygU 92 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-charge-estimate-and-install-mulch-v3276558 2026-10-15T01:34:29.159Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/azvl2vDYjR8/hqdefault.jpg How to Bid, Charge, Estimate and Install Mulch This project provides a step-by-step guide on how to efficiently and economically install mulch in residential garden beds.

After this period, the fuel loses its combustibility, leading to starting problems in small engines. More critically, ethanol actively degrades rubber and plastic components such as seals, gaskets, needles, seats, and diaphragms within the carburetor and fuel lines, turning them into a 'mushy' substance. This breakdown causes fuel system blockages and eventually engine failure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMigkVpeDls 114 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/gasoline-vs-ethanol-plus-shop-tour-small-engine-winterization-and-care-v3276565/select-the-correct-fuel-type-c3325212 2026-10-15T01:34:36.910Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMigkVpeDls/hqdefault.jpg Select the Correct Fuel Type — Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Winterization and To mitigate ethanol-related damage, always choose non-oxygenated, non-ethanol fuel for your small engines. Standard 87 and 89 octane gasoline typically contain ethanol. While 92 octane premium fuel might or might not contain ethanol, it's crucial to always read the label on the fuel pump. Look for explicit labeling indicating 'no ethanol added' or 'non-oxygenated fuel'. Many gas stations do not carry non-oxygenated fuel, so you may need to seek out specific locations or specialty fuels. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMigkVpeDls 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/gasoline-vs-ethanol-plus-shop-tour-small-engine-winterization-and-care-v3276565/utilize-fuel-stabilizers-seafoam-c3325213 2026-10-15T01:34:36.910Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMigkVpeDls/hqdefault.jpg Utilize Fuel Stabilizers (Seafoam) — Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Winterizatio In addition to using non-ethanol fuel, add a quality fuel stabilizer like Seafoam to your small engine's fuel. Seafoam is particularly effective because it helps to remove moisture from the fuel. Moisture can accumulate inside metal fuel tanks through condensation, even on non-rainy days, especially with temperature fluctuations. This condensation promotes rust and can dilute the fuel. Unlike products like HEET, which are primarily alcohol and can be damaging to small engines (though useful in vehicles to prevent fuel line freezing), Seafoam blends water into the fuel in a way that allows it to pass harmlessly through the engine, preventing moisture-related issues without damaging components. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMigkVpeDls 170 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/gasoline-vs-ethanol-plus-shop-tour-small-engine-winterization-and-care-v3276565/implement-proper-engine-winterization-fuel-c3325214 2026-10-15T01:34:36.910Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMigkVpeDls/hqdefault.jpg Implement Proper Engine Winterization (Fuel) — Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Wi For small two-stroke engines (like trimmers and chainsaws) or any small engine that will be stored for an extended period (e.g., over winter), the best winterization technique is to run the fuel tank completely dry. First, add your non-oxygenated fuel with Seafoam to the tank. Run the engine for 15-20 minutes to ensure the treated fuel circulates through the carburetor. Then, drain any remaining fuel from the tank. Finally, start the engine again and let it run until it completely runs out of fuel and shuts off. This process ensures that no old fuel or oil residue is left in the carburetor to gum up or cause starting problems in the spring. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMigkVpeDls 84 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/gasoline-vs-ethanol-plus-shop-tour-small-engine-winterization-and-care-v3276565/perform-regular-oil-changes-and-checks-c3325215 2026-10-15T01:34:36.910Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMigkVpeDls/hqdefault.jpg Perform Regular Oil Changes and Checks — Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Winteriz For four-stroke small engines (like most lawnmowers and riding mowers), regular oil maintenance is critical. The recommended practice is to change the engine oil at the end of the season, in the fall, rather than waiting until spring. This ensures that the engine is stored with fresh oil, preventing any old, dirty oil from sitting and potentially causing issues. We use a semi-synthetic oil for cost-effectiveness in a large fleet, as it offers good performance without the higher cost of full synthetic, and we haven't noticed a significant difference in engine performance or longevity. Always check the oil level before each use of the equipment; low oil can quickly lead to severe engine damage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMigkVpeDls 117 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/gasoline-vs-ethanol-plus-shop-tour-small-engine-winterization-and-care-v3276565/consider-engine-brand-reliability-c3325216 2026-10-15T01:34:36.910Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VMigkVpeDls/hqdefault.jpg Consider Engine Brand Reliability — Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Winterization When purchasing new small engine equipment, consider brands known for reliable and long-lasting engines.

He clarifies that sod is always grown in direct sunlight, so if it's installed in a shaded area (under trees), it will eventually die. To prevent this, he recommends overseeding sod with a shade mixture. This allows the shade-tolerant grass to grow in as the sun-tolerant sod slowly dies off, maintaining a lush green lawn. He then moves to the second critical component: base material. He debunks the myth of needing 4 inches of black dirt, stating it's "hogwash."

The primary objective is to make the property appear 'clean, neat, and tidy' to potential buyers, allowing them to visualize its potential without being overwhelmed by existing clutter or disrepair. It's crucial to acknowledge that this project is different from a renovation for personal living; the focus is on maximizing saleability rather than personal preference. Be realistic about the budget; while a client may hope for a low cost (e.g., $1,500-$2,500), the actual cost for a transformative cleanup can be significantly higher ($4,000-$4,750 or more). https://www.youtube.com/embed/lxNlcY2klt8 77 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-renovate-a-house-with-landscaping-v3276568/evaluate-nonlandscaping-exterior-needs-c3324608 2026-10-15T01:34:26.645Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lxNlcY2klt8/hqdefault.jpg Evaluate Non-Landscaping Exterior Needs — How to Renovate a House (with landscaping) Identify and list major exterior issues on the house structure itself that, while not part of the landscaping project, significantly impact curb appeal and potential buyer interest.

He also mentions the payment structure: a $100 down payment to secure a spot on the schedule, 50% down at the start of the work, and the remaining balance paid upon completion.

Instead of simply replacing the wall, the contractor proposes a modified design to the customer: building up the grade with fill soil to level the entire area, extending the usable backyard space, and raising the existing privacy fence. This new design offers the customer significantly more functional space and privacy for the same initial quoted price, appealing to an 'emotional element' of wanting more usable space. This revised proposal transforms the project from a simple replacement to an enhanced solution, making it a 'no-brainer' for the customer and securing the deal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tuDJ6_YIqIo 165 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/lawn-care-lawn-mowing-mendota-heights-mn-v3276570 2026-10-15T01:34:10.356Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GkA9ugDQr5M/hqdefault.jpg Lawn Care Lawn Mowing Mendota Heights MN This video outlines a comprehensive business strategy for lawn care companies, emphasizing the importance of attention to detail, personalized customer service, and strategic growth.

Walk around the area, observe existing conditions, and identify obvious challenges. For instance, the video shows a house needing demolition (though the contractor's focus is retaining walls), and a steep hill requiring significant earthwork.

If the full project is too expensive, consider a phased approach, breaking it into smaller, more manageable stages. For instance, the contractor proposes a first stage of just excavation work, to be followed by the retaining walls in a separate phase when more budget is available. This allows progress without overextending your financial or time resources.

The contractor emphasizes that if a customer's 'taste' is far above their 'budget,' it's often not worth pursuing. As a DIYer, this means knowing when a project is truly unfeasible for your resources. If the gap between your desired outcome and your realistic budget/skill level is too large, it's better to disengage or rethink the project entirely rather than trying to force it, which often leads to wasted time, frustration, and poor results. Focus your efforts on projects where your expectations and resources can realistically align. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uccEDxs3kfw 137 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-make-money-for-your-estimates-v3276572 2026-10-15T01:34:20.233Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KTcX2lcVvoQ/hqdefault.jpg How to Make Money for your Estimates This project outlines a business strategy for landscape and lawncare professionals to get paid for their project proposals.

He appreciates HomeAdvisor's return policy for unqualified leads. For Angie's List, he notes it's effective for high-value landscaping jobs ($10,000-$20,000) but not for lower-margin lawn care.

Ensure all equipment is properly secured during transport, using straps to prevent shifting. For DIYers, choose a mower suitable for your lawn size and terrain. Set the mowing height to the customer's (or your) preference, for example, 3.5 inches, to maintain grass health and appearance.

In contrast, landscaping clients are often willing to pay extra for quality and peace of mind.

For example, a yard that is 10 feet by 20 feet will yield 200 square feet (10 ft * 20 ft = 200 sq ft). Once you have the total square footage, convert it to square yards by dividing by 9 (since 1 square yard equals 9 square feet). So, 200 square feet divided by 9 equals approximately 22 square yards. Sod is typically sold in square yards. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-measure-estimate-and-install-sod-and-turf-v3276579/measure-irregular-yards-by-boxing-out-c3330262 2026-10-15T01:34:36.859Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9csMc_B6yqY/hqdefault.jpg Measure Irregular Yards by Boxing Out — How to Measure Estimate and Install Sod and Turf For irregular-shaped yards, the key is to 'box out' the area into multiple smaller, regular shapes (squares or rectangles). Draw straight lines to divide the irregular shape into manageable sections. For example, an L-shaped yard can be broken into two or more rectangles. Measure each section independently, calculate its square footage, and then sum all the square footage totals. This method works for any shape, including circles (by boxing out the largest square within or around the circle). https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 124 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-measure-estimate-and-install-sod-and-turf-v3276579/calculate-total-area-and-quantity-c3330263 2026-10-15T01:34:36.859Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9csMc_B6yqY/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Total Area and Quantity — How to Measure Estimate and Install Sod and Turf Once all sections of the irregular yard have been measured and their square footages calculated, add them together to get the total square footage for the entire yard. For instance, if you have three sections with 400 sq ft, 300 sq ft, and 900 sq ft, the total is 1600 sq ft. Convert this total square footage into square yards by dividing by 9. So, 1600 sq ft / 9 = 177 sq yards. This is the quantity of sod you will need to order for the project. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-measure-estimate-and-install-sod-and-turf-v3276579/estimate-material-and-delivery-costs-c3330264 2026-10-15T01:34:36.859Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9csMc_B6yqY/hqdefault.jpg Estimate Material and Delivery Costs — How to Measure Estimate and Install Sod and Turf To accurately bid a sod project, break down all costs. First, determine the material cost of the sod itself from your supplier (e.g., $1.50 per square yard). Next, calculate the delivery cost. If a semi-truck delivers the sod for a flat fee (e.g., $200 for 177 square yards), divide that fee by the total square yards to find the delivery cost per square yard ($200 / 177 sq yds = $1.12 per square yard). Add the material cost and delivery cost per square yard to get your total material and transportation expense (e.g., $1.50 + $1.12 = $2.62 per square yard). https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 149 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-measure-estimate-and-install-sod-and-turf-v3276579/estimate-labor-costs-and-final-bid-price-c3330265 2026-10-15T01:34:36.859Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9csMc_B6yqY/hqdefault.jpg Estimate Labor Costs and Final Bid Price — How to Measure Estimate and Install Sod and Turf The final component of your bid is labor cost. First, estimate how many square yards of sod one person can install per hour (e.g., 50 square yards/hour). Divide the total square yards of the project by this installation rate to find the total labor hours needed (e.g., 177 sq yds / 50 sq yds/hr = 3.54 hours). Multiply the total labor hours by your hourly labor rate (e.g., 3.54 hours * $20/hour = $70.80). Then, divide this total labor cost by the total square yards to find the labor cost per square yard (e.g., $70.80 / 177 sq yds = $0.40 per square yard). Add this to your material and delivery cost to get the total expense per square yard (e.g., $2.62 + $0.40 = $3.02 per square yard). Remember to add a profit margin (e.g., 10%) on top of your total expense to ensure profitability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 112 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-measure-estimate-and-install-sod-and-turf-v3276579/installation-tips-and-grading-tools-c3330266 2026-10-15T01:34:36.859Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9csMc_B6yqY/hqdefault.jpg Installation Tips and Grading Tools — How to Measure Estimate and Install Sod and Turf For larger areas, a Skid Steer with tracks is ideal for grading. If you don't have one, a rubber-tired Skid Steer also works. For smaller or more challenging areas, you can improvise grading tools. An effective DIY method involves using a 4-wheeler with a piece of chain-link fence or a fence gate (due to its frame) attached behind it. Secure a couple of cement blocks on top of the fence for weight, and drive the 4-wheeler back and forth over the area to smooth it out. For final grading, use a hard rake followed by a spring rake (plastic leaf rake) to achieve a smooth finish. These techniques allow for efficient grading without expensive specialized equipment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9csMc_B6yqY 166 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/get-job-leads-and-borrow-equipment-for-free-v3276581 2026-10-10T00:17:49.436Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WZFL8eTA8lc/hqdefault.jpg Get Job leads and Borrow Equipment for Free This video outlines a counterintuitive but highly effective DIY business strategy for landscaping professionals, especially those just starting.

This step examines the role of ground compaction. Wheeled skid steers naturally compact the ground due to the concentrated weight on their four tires. This compaction can be highly desirable for specific tasks like building stable bases for roads, driveways, or other construction foundations. The pressure exerted by the tires helps solidify the soil, preventing future settling. Conversely, for tasks such as preparing a yard for new growth, excessive compaction is undesirable as it hinders water penetration and root development.

He recalls being so ashamed of his family's 'rusty, fallen apart car' that he would ask to be dropped off around the block from high school. He further shares the tragic impact of addiction within his family, mentioning that his mother was addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs, leading to her death from an overdose. He also states that his oldest brother 'slowly killed himself from drugs and alcohol as well,' found with a heroin needle in his arm in their kitchen.

He states that his past 'advantages' 'did corrupt me in a way' and 'did limit me,' leading him to believe he could 'do it all myself.' He identifies this as a 'mistake' he doesn't want others to make. Instead, he strongly encourages viewers to 'learn to reach out, to ask for help.' He advises seeking assistance from family members, trusted individuals, or even figures like himself or others creating content (Top Notch Lawns, Geek to Freak, Ruquikr, Randy Mikhaiel, Jonathan Potoshniak, Keith Kalfas). He stresses the importance of finding those who truly 'have your best interest at heart' and not settling for those who 'don't want to see you succeed.'

Progress through finer grits using a palm sander: 60-grit, 100-grit, 150-grit, 220-grit, and finally, 3200-grit sandpaper for a polished finish. After each grit, use a dry chamois cloth to meticulously wipe away all dust. Do not use any water, as water can raise the wood grain.

This initial coat is critical for sealing the porous wood and preventing air bubbles from emerging later. Once applied, use a torch or heat gun to gently pass over the wet epoxy surface. This technique heats the epoxy, allowing trapped air bubbles to rise and pop, resulting in a smoother, clearer finish. This first coat should be thin enough to penetrate the wood but sufficient to create a sealed layer. Allow ample time for this coat to cure (dry).

If it appears uneven (due to not pouring thick enough), prepare to apply additional, heavier coats. For subsequent coats, pour a thicker layer of epoxy. The video emphasizes pouring 'THICK' so the compound self-levels and runs over the sides like a fountain. Repeat the torching/heat gun process after each pour to ensure no bubbles are trapped. Allow each coat to fully cure before applying the next.

The true success in networking isn't in collecting many business cards, but in making 'a second touch or a third touch' to those few important contacts. By following up, you 'cement that contact in their mind' and become 'unforgettable,' leading to increased business and financial success.

Instead, secure payment by obtaining credit card information and automatically charging them before service is rendered. This approach removes a significant 'bottleneck' in the sales process, as customers are more willing to commit to smaller, recurring payments (e.g., $35 per week) than a large annual sum (e.g., $3,000).

The speaker acknowledges that snow plowing can be particularly hard on a truck, suggesting a preference for skid loaders when possible. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xIKfCwuJqCE 39 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/snowplow-truck-vs-skid-steer-v3276610/evaluate-truck-and-snowplow-purchase-c3324562 2026-10-10T07:32:52.058Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIKfCwuJqCE/hqdefault.jpg Evaluate Truck and Snowplow Purchase — Snowplow Truck Vs Skid Steer The speaker advises 'yes' to buying a truck and snowplow, framing the purchase as an asset and an opportunity rather than solely a liability. He emphasizes the importance of buying the equipment at the 'right price' to ensure that it can be resold to recover the initial investment if the business plan doesn't work out. He suggests using resources like 'Car Soup' (CarSoup.com) for buying and selling trucks, highlighting its advanced search option to find the best deals. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xIKfCwuJqCE 34 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/snowplow-truck-vs-skid-steer-v3276610/assess-skid-loader-acquisition-and-incremental-growth-c3324564 2026-10-10T07:32:52.058Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIKfCwuJqCE/hqdefault.jpg Assess Skid Loader Acquisition and Incremental Growth — Snowplow Truck Vs Skid Steer The speaker then shifts focus to skid loaders (Bobcats), observing the listener's prior experience with them. He notes that a skid loader generally commands a higher hourly rate for services compared to operating one for an employer (e.g., $85/hour vs. $25/hour). He illustrates that just 30 hours of work with an owned Bobcat can generate earnings equivalent to several months of payments on the machine. He strongly recommends growing a business 'incrementally,' acquiring equipment one piece at a time, and focusing on pieces that are better suited for specific tasks, like Bobcats for plowing, which he states leads to fewer breakdowns than trucks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xIKfCwuJqCE 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/snowplow-truck-vs-skid-steer-v3276610/conclude-with-growth-mindset-c3324565 2026-10-10T07:32:52.058Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIKfCwuJqCE/hqdefault.jpg Conclude with Growth Mindset — Snowplow Truck Vs Skid Steer The speaker concludes by reiterating the overall benefit of taking calculated risks and investing in equipment.

In this model, the business owner (the 'hub') is at the center, and all employees (the 'spokes') directly report to and seek guidance from the owner. This is visually represented by the presenter drawing a central circle (the owner) with multiple lines extending outwards to other circles (employees). This structure means the owner is a bottleneck, constantly answering questions and solving problems for everyone, making it impossible to take time off or for the business to operate without their direct involvement. The owner effectively has a 'glorified job' rather than a true business that can run independently. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xqocEWFpgDU 64 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-ten-mistakes-contractors-landscapers-make-1-v3276611/implement-a-hierarchical-management-model-c3331850 2026-10-15T01:34:27.749Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xqocEWFpgDU/hqdefault.jpg Implement a Hierarchical Management Model — Top ten Mistakes Contractors & landscapers Make # 1 To overcome the limitations of the 'hub and spoke' model, transition to a hierarchical, 'top-down' business organization. This means creating layers of management where the owner (at the top) delegates to a smaller number of managers, who in turn manage their own teams. The presenter illustrates this by wiping the whiteboard clean and drawing a hierarchical tree structure. In this model, employees report to their respective managers, and managers report to the owner. This significantly reduces the number of direct inquiries the owner receives, allowing for greater efficiency, scalability, and the owner's freedom. The goal is to move from being the bottleneck to a strategic leader. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xqocEWFpgDU 81 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-collect-money-with-a-lien-v3276613 2026-10-15T01:34:36.138Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AHKOfCgRVXg/hqdefault.jpg How to Collect Money with a Lien This project offers critical advice for small business owners in landscaping and construction on how to protect themselves from unpaid invoices on one-off projects.

He introduces Vanessa Van Edwards, an expert and 'guru' in body language, who runs 'TheScienceofPeople.com'. He explains that Vanessa guides contractors on how to secure more deals by understanding the nuances of non-verbal communication. The key insights are that individuals 'exude a certain vibe' or 'give off a certain feeling' in interactions. More importantly, we can control the vibe we project and learn to interpret the subtle cues and hints customers provide through their body language. This allows for a deeper understanding of their thoughts and feelings during negotiations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TwBfwrx9sJU 39 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/body-language-attraction-the-science-of-people-with-vanessa-van-v3276614/benefits-of-body-language-mastery-in-business-c3328460 2026-10-15T01:34:22.721Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TwBfwrx9sJU/hqdefault.jpg Benefits of Body Language Mastery in Business — Body Language Attraction -The Science of People with Mastering body language offers several direct benefits for contractors.

He argues that if one can learn complex technical skills like framing a house, rebuilding an engine, or operating heavy machinery, then one can absolutely learn people skills. The crucial message is to 'shift your thinking' and understand that the quality of your interaction with a customer is often as, if not more, important than the quality of the work itself. He reinforces the saying, 'It's not what you know—it's who you know,' emphasizing that 'people skills' are what truly make more money.

What customers always remember is 'how you made them feel.' This emotional connection is critical for securing future projects and generating referrals. 'Word of mouth' is presented as the most powerful form of advertising, and it's free. This happens when customers are proud and happy with who they worked with. Therefore, improving communication, studying body language, and becoming a 'people person' are essential. The video concludes by reiterating that all skills are trainable, including those for interacting effectively with people, and that mastering customer interactions will directly lead to increased profits. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TwBfwrx9sJU 91 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/should-i-expand-buy-equipment-or-am-i-nuts-nervous-father-of-2-v3276615 2026-10-15T01:34:13.727Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YpVKnc_oLXk/hqdefault.jpg Should I EXPAND & Buy Equipment or am I Nuts?

The speaker warns against the mistake of solely relying on a hired experienced operator, emphasizing that if that operator leaves, the entire new service line of the business could shut down. The owner must be capable of stepping in as a 'backup' operator to ensure business continuity.

If the owner decides to perform that task themselves, they are effectively paying themselves $10 an hour. This highlights the importance of knowing what each task costs to outsource versus perform internally, allowing for strategic decisions on delegation and the most profitable use of the owner's time as the business grows.

He states that this specific Hiniker model outperforms other plows like Boss, Leo, and even other Western plows in terms of cubic yards of snow moved. A notable feature is its 'poly blade' (plastic blade), which is highlighted for being lighter and more agile than metal blades, allowing snow to roll off easily. The Hiniker plow is described as a fixed scoop, meaning it does not adjust like a V-plow, making it similar in operation to a straight blade. The presenter notes his initial nervousness when switching from a versatile V-plow to this fixed scoop design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDavCj9_A-Y 94 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/battle-of-the-snow-plows-hiniker-vs-western-v3276624/identify-hiniker-plow-attachment-challenges-c3338993 2026-10-10T07:21:50.627Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tDavCj9_A-Y/hqdefault.jpg Identify Hiniker Plow Attachment Challenges — BATTLE of the SNOW PLOWS Hiniker vs Western The presenter identifies a major drawback of the Hiniker Scoop Plow: the difficulty of hooking it up to the truck. He describes a 'weird little lever system' featuring a small 'ear' that must be lined up 'EXACTLY' with the truck's frame. This alignment process is so challenging that it often requires 'two guys and a skid steer' to correctly attach the plow. Because of this, the Hiniker plows are typically installed on November 15th and remain on the trucks until April 15th, rather than being frequently attached and detached. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDavCj9_A-Y 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/battle-of-the-snow-plows-hiniker-vs-western-v3276624/evaluate-western-mvp3-v-plow-attachment-ease-c3338994 2026-10-10T07:21:50.627Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tDavCj9_A-Y/hqdefault.jpg Evaluate Western MVP3 V Plow Attachment Ease — BATTLE of the SNOW PLOWS Hiniker vs Western The video then focuses on the Western MVP3 V Plow, highlighting its ease of attachment as a major advantage. The presenter explains that the Western plows are designed to be easily dropped off and reconnected. He demonstrates the 'giant toggle hooking levers' which act like a 'magnet,' allowing the driver to simply drive the truck into the plow, and it hooks up almost automatically. This user-friendly design is the primary reason the presenter is switching over to Western plows, as it eliminates the need to carry the heavy plows on the front of trucks all season long and simplifies the attachment process significantly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDavCj9_A-Y 44 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/battle-of-the-snow-plows-hiniker-vs-western-v3276624/conclusion-and-informed-decision-making-c3338995 2026-10-10T07:21:50.627Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tDavCj9_A-Y/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Informed Decision Making — BATTLE of the SNOW PLOWS Hiniker vs Western In conclusion, the presenter reiterates the key findings of the comparison: the Hiniker Scoop Plow excels in snow-carrying capacity, but its attachment process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Conversely, the Western MVP3 V Plow, while not explicitly compared on capacity in this segment, stands out for its exceptionally easy and quick attachment and detachment mechanism. Both plows have their respective benefits and drawbacks. The decision of which plow is best depends on the user's priorities, whether it's maximum snow-moving capacity or convenient operational flexibility. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDavCj9_A-Y 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/truck-porn-remote-controlled-semi-truck-v3276625 2026-10-10T04:28:00.001Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZoMB_FprnlQ/hqdefault.jpg Truck Porn- Remote Controlled SEMI TRUCK !

Recognize that this decision will have profound impacts on your profitability and the long-term financial health of your company. The video introduces this core comparison. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N016tWSN4cA 16 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/should-you-borrow-money-to-grow-your-small-business-v3276627/calculate-loan-scenario-profitability-c3324836 2026-10-10T06:54:31.147Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N016tWSN4cA/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Loan Scenario Profitability — Should you Borrow Money to Grow your Small Business Consider a hypothetical scenario where you borrow $100,000 to start your company with an assumed 10% interest rate on the loan. Calculate your projected total sales (e.g., $100,000) and then apply your estimated profit margin (e.g., a typical contractor's 10% profit margin). Determine the gross profit. From this gross profit, subtract the interest payment to the bank. The video illustrates that if your gross profit equals the interest payment (e.g., $10,000 profit from $100,000 sales at 10% margin, and $10,000 interest on a $100,000 loan at 10%), your net profit as the owner would be zero. If your profit margin is slightly higher, say 12%, then a 10% interest rate would leave you with only 2% net profit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N016tWSN4cA 148 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/should-you-borrow-money-to-grow-your-small-business-v3276627/compare-debtfree-profitability-c3324837 2026-10-10T06:54:31.147Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N016tWSN4cA/hqdefault.jpg Compare Debt-Free Profitability — Should you Borrow Money to Grow your Small Business Compare the loan scenario with a debt-free approach. Imagine starting your business with no loans, even if it means beginning with lower sales volume (e.g., $50,000 instead of $100,000). If you achieve a modest profit margin, for instance, 5% on $50,000 in sales, your profit to you as the owner would be $2,500. The video highlights that this $2,500 in the debt-free scenario is potentially higher than the $2,000 (2% of $100,000 sales) left to the owner in the loan scenario, despite having half the sales, because no profits are lost to interest payments. This demonstrates how a debt-free approach can yield a higher net profit for the owner with potentially less financial pressure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N016tWSN4cA 72 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/should-you-borrow-money-to-grow-your-small-business-v3276627/incorporate-tax-deductibility-of-loan-interest-into-your-analysis-c3324838 2026-10-10T06:54:31.147Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N016tWSN4cA/hqdefault.jpg Incorporate Tax Deductibility of Loan Interest into Your Analysis — Should you Borrow Money to Grow When performing your financial analysis, remember to factor in that loan interest is typically tax deductible. This means that the amount you pay in interest can reduce your taxable income, potentially lowering your overall tax liability. While this doesn't eliminate the expense of interest, it mitigates its impact to some extent. Consider this as part of a holistic financial picture, but do not let it overshadow the direct reduction in profit caused by interest payments. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N016tWSN4cA 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/whats-in-a-name-how-to-brand-your-business-v3276628 2026-10-15T01:34:37.159Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JMQ7XRB1ORw/hqdefault.jpg Whats in a Name? - How to Brand your Business This project provides a practical, step-by-step guide for individuals looking to launch a landscaping company, focusing on critical initial steps like company naming strategies and rapid credibility building tactics.

This characteristic makes it significantly more labor-intensive. The material cost for these concrete edging units is then established at approximately $2.25 per lineal foot, noting that this is comparable to the material cost of steel edging. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BMmA6ceIC3Y 38 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-concrete-edging-v3276630/calculate-labor-costs-c3324388 2026-10-10T05:17:57.604Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BMmA6ceIC3Y/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Labor Costs — How to Bid CONCRETE Edging Due to the precise nature of hand-laying and individually leveling each concrete edging unit, the installation process is considerably slower than for other edging materials like vinyl or steel. The presenter suggests a production rate of approximately 15 linear feet per hour for concrete edging, which is half the rate for vinyl or steel edging (30 linear feet per hour). Using an assumed labor rate of $65 per hour, the labor cost for concrete edging is calculated by dividing the hourly rate by the production rate ($65 / 15 L.f.), resulting in a labor-only cost of $4.33 per linear foot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BMmA6ceIC3Y 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-concrete-edging-v3276630/add-overheads-and-finalize-base-price-c3324389 2026-10-10T05:17:57.604Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BMmA6ceIC3Y/hqdefault.jpg Add Overheads and Finalize Base Price — How to Bid CONCRETE Edging After determining both material and labor costs, additional factors must be considered. If the existing ground is soft or spongy, an additional layer of sand may be required as a stable base, which will increase the material cost. Combining the previously calculated material cost ($2.25/L.f.) and labor cost ($4.33/L.f.) gives a subtotal of $6.58 per linear foot. To ensure a profitable bid, an additional 10% is added for profit and overhead. This adds $0.67 (10% of $6.58), bringing the technical cost to $7.42 per linear foot. For the sake of simplicity and to provide clear, easy-to-understand options for customers, this is rounded up to $7.50 per linear foot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BMmA6ceIC3Y 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-concrete-edging-v3276630/factor-in-saw-cutting-costs-for-intricate-designs-c3324390 2026-10-10T05:17:57.604Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BMmA6ceIC3Y/hqdefault.jpg Factor in Saw Cutting Costs for Intricate Designs — How to Bid CONCRETE Edging A crucial, often overlooked, cost factor for concrete edging is the need for saw cutting. When installing concrete edging around curves or corners, individual units must often be cut to fit precisely and avoid unsightly gaps. This requires specialized tools, specifically a diamond saw and a diamond blade. Since the exact amount of cutting needed cannot be predetermined, it's advised to bill this work separately on a time and material basis, covering the labor rate ($65/hour) and the wear and tear or cost of the saw and blade. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BMmA6ceIC3Y 35 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-concrete-edging-v3276630/summarize-and-present-pricing-options-c3324391 2026-10-10T05:17:57.604Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BMmA6ceIC3Y/hqdefault.jpg Summarize and Present Pricing Options — How to Bid CONCRETE Edging To provide customers with easy and informed choices, the video summarizes the final, profitable pricing per linear foot for different edging options.

Three main types of edging (vinyl, steel, and concrete) are mentioned as common options, with the video focusing on vinyl for detailed calculations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WiEL_3j2L_4 65 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-edging-v3276632/calculate-material-cost-for-vinyl-edging-c3329147 2026-10-15T01:34:27.317Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WiEL_3j2L_4/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Material Cost for Vinyl Edging — How to BID Edging For vinyl edging (referred to as 'Blackjack' edging), it is recommended to use straight-line sticks instead of rolled material, as they are easier and faster to install, despite a slightly higher initial cost. As an example, a 20 lineal-foot straight-line stick of good quality vinyl edging costs about $16 plus tax. For calculation purposes, this is rounded to $20 for 20 lineal feet, resulting in a material cost of $1.00 per lineal foot. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WiEL_3j2L_4 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-edging-v3276632/calculate-labor-cost-per-lineal-foot-c3329148 2026-10-15T01:34:27.317Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WiEL_3j2L_4/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Labor Cost per Lineal Foot — How to BID Edging The next step is to calculate the labor cost per lineal foot. The presenter estimates that one person can install approximately 30 lineal feet of vinyl edging per hour. Using a target labor rate of $65 per hour per man, the labor cost per lineal foot is calculated by dividing the hourly rate by the lineal feet installed per hour ($65 / 30 lineal feet = $2.16 per lineal foot). This represents only the labor portion of the cost. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WiEL_3j2L_4 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-edging-v3276632/incorporate-profit-and-overhead-into-pricing-c3329149 2026-10-15T01:34:27.317Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WiEL_3j2L_4/hqdefault.jpg Incorporate Profit and Overhead into Pricing — How to BID Edging After calculating the material and labor costs, the next crucial step is to incorporate profit and overhead. The combined material and labor cost for vinyl edging is $1.00 (material) + $2.16 (labor) = $3.16 per lineal foot. The presenter recommends adding a minimum of 10% for profit and overhead. Multiplying the subtotal ($3.16) by 10% yields approximately $0.31. Adding this profit/overhead margin to the subtotal ($3.16 + $0.31) results in $3.47 per lineal foot. For consistency and ease of use, this final figure is rounded up to $3.50 per lineal foot for vinyl edging, encompassing materials, labor, profit, and overhead. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WiEL_3j2L_4 60 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-mulch-v3276633 2026-10-15T01:34:31.599Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jWGKBADPOxo/hqdefault.jpg How To Bid Mulch This video instructs landscape business owners on developing a systematic approach to bidding mulch installation jobs to ensure profitability and consistent pricing.

The presenter argues that while the "lick and stick" approach might work for very small companies, sustained growth and consistency require a standardized system. This system allows different employees to arrive at identical, accurate estimates, fostering scalability and transferability of knowledge within the organization. This foundational understanding is crucial before delving into specific calculations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWGKBADPOxo 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-mulch-v3276633/standard-mulch-material-cost-calculation-c3329512 2026-10-15T01:34:31.599Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jWGKBADPOxo/hqdefault.jpg Standard Mulch Material Cost Calculation — How To Bid Mulch To determine the material cost for standard mulch, first establish the coverage: one cubic yard of mulch covers approximately 100 square feet when applied 3 inches deep. Given an example bulk mulch cost of $25.00 per cubic yard, divide this by 100 square feet to get a per-square-foot cost of $0.25 for the mulch itself. Next, factor in the average delivery fee, which is estimated at $0.15 per square foot, regardless of the delivery method (e.g., pickup truck, dump trailer, or dump truck). Lastly, include the cost of fabric underlayment at $0.10 per square foot. Sum these three components ($0.25 + $0.15 + $0.10) to arrive at a total material cost of $0.50 per square foot for standard mulch with fabric and delivery. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWGKBADPOxo 108 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-mulch-v3276633/add-labor-cost-to-estimate-c3329513 2026-10-15T01:34:31.599Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jWGKBADPOxo/hqdefault.jpg Add Labor Cost to Estimate — How To Bid Mulch With the total material cost per square foot established (e.g., $0.50 for standard mulch), integrate the labor cost. The video suggests an average labor cost of $1.50 per square foot for the application process. Add this labor cost to the material cost ($0.50 material + $1.50 labor) to arrive at a total installed price of $2.00 per square foot. This figure represents your company's full expense for mulch installation per square foot, providing a consistent basis for client estimates. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWGKBADPOxo 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-mulch-v3276633/offer-varied-mulch-options-and-pricing-c3329514 2026-10-15T01:34:31.599Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jWGKBADPOxo/hqdefault.jpg Offer Varied Mulch Options and Pricing — How To Bid Mulch The final step involves adapting the pricing model for various mulch qualities beyond the standard type, such as colored or premium mulches, which typically have higher material costs. For example, if colored mulch costs $35.00 per cubic yard, its material cost per square foot (at 3 inches deep) becomes $0.35. Keep the delivery fee ($0.15) and underlayment cost ($0.10) constant, leading to a new total material cost of $0.60 per square foot. When the labor cost ($1.50) is added, the new total installed price per square foot for colored mulch becomes $2.10. Similarly, adjust for premium mulches. When presenting options to customers, the presenter advises limiting choices to a maximum of three (e.g., standard, colored, and premium mulch) to avoid overwhelming or confusing them, ensuring a clear decision-making process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWGKBADPOxo 132 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-wash-the-bottom-of-your-snow-plow-truck-v3276634 2026-10-10T06:09:57.631Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bqUtCHE7Rlw/hqdefault.jpg How to Wash the Bottom of your Snow Plow Truck This DIY project presents an incredibly simple and cost-effective method to wash the undercarriage (or 'belly') of a plow truck, focusing on removing salt and grime.

He critiques the unrealistic '4-hour work week' mentality, stating that true success in contracting and landscaping comes from hard work, not minimal effort. The ultimate question posed to the viewer is: 'Do you want it?' and 'What are you willing to do?' as success is often disguised as hard work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1WBVFLCwOo4 64 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-one-simple-tax-secret-is-a-game-changer-for-your-business-v3276640 2026-10-15T01:34:11.135Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rEQHmQuo9BU/hqdefault.jpg This one SIMPLE tax SECRET is a GAME CHANGER for YOUR BUSINESS This project outlines a simple yet powerful DIY financial strategy for small business owners and contractors to reduce their tax burden by preparing their taxes proactively in November.

First, divide the total mowable square footage of the lot by the man-hour rate (e.g., 10,000 or 15,000 sq ft/hour) to get the estimated total labor hours required. Then, multiply the estimated labor hours by your chosen hourly rate (e.g., $32-$42/hour based on the site's difficulty) to arrive at the price per mow. For example, a 30,000 sq ft lot with a 10,000 sq ft/hour rate requires 3 hours. If the site is difficult, and you charge $42/hour, the resulting bid is $126 per mow. Remember to also add a travel time allowance to this calculation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8GBQfsWGSFU 35 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-bid-commercial-lawn-mowing-v3276642/network-to-acquire-commercial-clients-c3329781 2026-10-15T01:34:36.394Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8GBQfsWGSFU/hqdefault.jpg Network to Acquire Commercial Clients — How to bid COMMERCIAL LAWN MOWING Instead of relying on traditional advertising, a highly effective method for acquiring commercial clients is through strategic networking.

Instead, it presents a motivational concept for business owners regarding employee performance, derived from an interview with Tom Ziglar (son of Zig Ziglar). The speaker introduces the 'Performance Formula': Attitude x Effort x Skill = Performance. He illustrates how a new employee, typically starting with a score of 1 for each factor (1x1x1=1), can quickly improve to a score of 8 (2x2x2=8) by increasing their attitude, effort, and skill. The ultimate goal, he explains, is for employees to reach 'threes' in all areas (3x3x3=27), leading to significantly higher productivity and earnings (3 to 5 times the industry average). The key to achieving this, according to the speaker, is to help employees tie their personal dreams and goals to their job, fostering intrinsic motivation rather than just external incentives. This shift empowers employees to take ownership of their attitude and drive their own success. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VPmwYwQaIDs 209 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-demolition-time-lapse-v3276644 2026-10-15T01:34:29.447Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AjOQKjKodsE/hqdefault.jpg Building Demolition (Time Lapse) This project showcases the systematic and controlled demolition of an old barn/carport/garage structure using a Kobelco excavator equipped with a bucket and hydraulic thumb attachment.

The goal is to lower the upper yard to create a larger, flat, usable space off the back door. Currently, a newer Versa-Lok modular retaining wall stands alongside an older Chilton stone wall, dividing the terraces. The existing Chilton wall needs to be removed, and the Versa-Lok wall will be extended and integrated with the new section. The main challenge identified is that the two different types of wall materials (Versa-Lok and Chilton) cannot be effectively 'stitched' together for structural integrity, necessitating the removal of the Chilton wall and an extension using matching Versa-Lok blocks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUfaOQyH6nk 85 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276646/excavation-and-foundation-exposure-c3323325 2026-10-10T05:44:20.437Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aUfaOQyH6nk/hqdefault.jpg Excavation and Foundation Exposure — How to build a Retaining Wall After the initial planning, extensive excavation is performed to lower the upper yard, creating a much larger flat area referred to as a 'courtyard effect.' This involves removing a significant amount of soil from the hillside. The video shows the transformed landscape with the upper yard lowered and the backfill removed from behind the existing Versa-Lok wall. The base of the existing Versa-Lok wall is exposed and 'stair-stepped' (or 'keyed in'), revealing the foundation courses where the new wall sections will connect seamlessly. This preparation is crucial for integrating the new wall with the old structure and ensuring overall stability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUfaOQyH6nk 54 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276646/install-and-compact-base-material-c3323326 2026-10-10T05:44:20.437Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aUfaOQyH6nk/hqdefault.jpg Install and Compact Base Material — How to build a Retaining Wall For the foundation of the new retaining wall, 3/4 inch clear angular stone is used as the base material. The video emphasizes that this type of stone is superior to rounded pea gravel or Class 5 aggregate. The angular nature of the stone allows it to interlock tightly when compacted, creating a very strong and stable base that resists shifting and rolling, even with significant water flow. This interlocking property is critical for preventing differential settlement in the retaining wall, which can lead to structural failure. After spreading the stone, a light compaction is performed to further lock the material in place. This same angular stone will also be used as drainage material behind the wall. https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUfaOQyH6nk 60 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall-v3276646/retaining-wall-construction-and-integration-c3323327 2026-10-10T05:44:20.437Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aUfaOQyH6nk/hqdefault.jpg Retaining Wall Construction and Integration — How to build a Retaining Wall The final step involves building the new modular block retaining wall and seamlessly integrating it with the existing structure. The video showcases the completed wall, demonstrating how the new sections are 'stitched' into the original wall's foundation, creating a cohesive and structurally sound unit. A key observation is the color difference between the older wall and the newly installed blocks. This discrepancy is attributed to several factors: different aggregate sources used in block manufacturing over time, natural weathering of the older blocks, and whether the walls have been sealed. The older wall was sealed for salt and graffiti protection, which can also affect its appearance. While structural integration is seamless, perfect color matching is often challenging in multi-year projects due to these variables. The project concludes with the wall fully built, ready for the next phase of restoration (landscaping). https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUfaOQyH6nk 59 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-wet-basement-v3276647 2026-10-10T04:15:53.237Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xnBgs_0kXzM/hqdefault.jpg How To fix A Wet Basement This project addresses basement water infiltration by implementing a two-part strategy: first, correcting exterior grading to direct water away from the foundation, and second, installing an interior drain tile system as a backup.

The presenter outlines a four-part strategy for resolving such issues, starting with exterior grades. Using a laser level (implied by visual cues and discussion of measurements), they assess the current landscape. It is determined that the property has a nearly flat grade, with only a 4 to 6-inch drop from the front stoop to the driveway. This lack of sufficient slope means traditional exterior French drains or full foundation waterproofing methods would not allow for effective gravity drainage. Therefore, a two-part solution is chosen for this specific project: correcting the exterior grades as much as possible, and then installing an interior drain tile system as a robust backup to ensure a dry basement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xnBgs_0kXzM 122 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-wet-basement-v3276647/execute-exterior-subgrade-correction-c3324453 2026-10-10T04:15:53.237Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xnBgs_0kXzM/hqdefault.jpg Execute Exterior Subgrade Correction — How To fix A Wet Basement This step demonstrates the results of the exterior grading work. The existing subgrade around the house, particularly adjacent to the asphalt driveway, was previously lower than the driveway surface, creating a basin where water would collect and migrate towards the basement foundation. To rectify this, the subgrade was significantly raised and re-pitched to create a positive slope. This new grading ensures that water flows down and over the adjacent asphalt and away from the house, rather than collecting against the foundation. The successful re-grading also achieved the necessary 6 to 8 inches of clearance between the finished grade and the sill plate, which is crucial for preventing water damage to the structural components of the house. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xnBgs_0kXzM 99 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-wet-basement-v3276647/install-interior-drain-tile-system-c3324454 2026-10-10T04:15:53.237Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xnBgs_0kXzM/hqdefault.jpg Install Interior Drain Tile System — How To fix A Wet Basement As the second part of the comprehensive basement waterproofing strategy for properties with challenging exterior grades, an interior drain tile system is installed. This process typically involves jackhammering and removing a section of the basement concrete floor around the perimeter of the foundation walls. A trench is then excavated, and a perforated drainage pipe is laid in the trench. This pipe collects any water that penetrates the foundation walls or seeps up from beneath the floor. The pipe is covered with gravel for optimal drainage, and the trench is then sealed with new concrete, matching the existing floor. The collected water is directed to a sump pit, where a sump pump automatically activates to discharge the water safely away from the house, typically to an exterior location. This system acts as a reliable 'insurance policy' to ensure the basement remains dry, even if some water manages to bypass the exterior grading. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xnBgs_0kXzM 15 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-update-the-appearance-of-a-home-with-retaining-walls-v3276648 2026-10-10T00:18:06.707Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zaw5Hu5C3oc/hqdefault.jpg How To Update The Appearance Of A Home with Retaining Walls This DIY project details the process of updating a home's landscaping by replacing an outdated triple-terraced timber retaining wall with a modern double-terraced boulder retaining wall.

After the boulders were precisely placed to create walls with consistent flat faces and flat tops, pulverized screened black dirt was imported to the site. This dirt was then spread and hand-raked to prepare the areas around the new walls. The customer will then complete the landscaping by planting their own seed or sod. The design intentionally incorporates a mix of smaller (12-inch and 18-inch) stones with a few strategically placed larger stones. This 'trick' helps to break up the pattern and prevent the wall from looking too 'busy' or repetitive, especially given the smaller scale of this particular retaining wall. To achieve this specific aesthetic, approximately 15 extra tons of stones were imported, allowing for a thorough hand-picking process to ensure only the best and most suitable stones were used, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in the project. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zaw5Hu5C3oc 60 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-an-erosion-washout-v3276649 2026-10-10T04:39:33.923Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qV5KmECJTfI/hqdefault.jpg How To Fix An Erosion Washout This DIY project details a comprehensive solution for severe land erosion, focusing on a 6-foot deep gully washout caused by concentrated stormwater runoff from an adjacent pasture and driveway.

The goal is to direct rainwater to flow as an 'even sheet' across the surface, rather than concentrating into single channels. Once the grading is complete, the surface soil in the filled gully area is loosened using an excavator. This loosening is essential because tightly packed soil inhibits vegetation growth; the disturbed surface allows for new vegetation to re-establish its roots, providing natural erosion control. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qV5KmECJTfI 80 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-an-erosion-washout-v3276649/reestablish-vegetation-and-project-completion-c3324872 2026-10-10T04:39:33.923Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qV5KmECJTfI/hqdefault.jpg Re-establish Vegetation and Project Completion — How To Fix An Erosion Washout With the gully completely filled and the pasture graded, the final step involves the property owner re-establishing vegetation.
