Over 30 years in business, I've poured thousands of driveways. Watching them made me remember the days of using the come along, pulling your guts out, when the chute man piles it way too high. 100 degrees and it's blowing up on you faster than you can float it down. ugh! It's the only trade in construction that won't allow you to eat a normal lunch or more than a couple minutes to rehydrate. Many have tried, but few can handle the amount of physical work. I'm retired, living the good life now, but I'll never forget the sound of that drum tumbling and the concrete sliding down the chute!

Watching concrete being smoothed out is surprisedly satisfying.

I love hard work. I can sit and watch it all day.

And THAT is why it costs so much to put in a concrete driveway, there's a LOT of work and skill involved.

Nice job on the driveway and the video, and the music was a great choice.

I worked masonry for 8 years from the age of 15 to 23. we dug foundations, set steel, poured slabs and everything else along with brick block and stone all in the Florida sun. A mason did it all back then. Can't say I miss those days. I still have all my tools and pour when I want to because I want to. I was really impressed how well you guys worked together and especially how well your guy worked the come a long. Nice edging and design work with the broom. Real pleasure to watch your video.

[jason-genr]

This is the best concrete video on YouTube. All the fly by night concrete guys here need to watch this.

[Just-SomeGuy]

Looks like a very professional job. I don't even live in the same country or need a driveway done, but good to see craftsmen at work.

[lilbizzy]

I have to admit, it put a big smile on my face when I saw you guys putting that white cure agent. Too many people don't understand the importance of curing concrete properly. Great job. You guys definitely knew what you were doing.

[tsant]

These guys are good. I can't tell you enough how valuable it is to have a good eye for moving mud around like that, let alone the stamina.
I poured/finished many driveways and sidewalks in the Florida sun.
Im retired now, and I watch this and it brings back memories.

These are men who clearly understand fluid dynamics, and that truly makes them worthy people.

[tylernorton]

man it seems that one guy does everything. he needs a big raise.

[Dodger]

I'm getting ready to have a new concrete driveway installed, so it was really interesting to see how it's done.

[sahmadi]

This is when you take pride in what you do.  This isn't the typical team.  Great job.

[jeffloewi]

Great to see people who work hard and do the job with such care and absolute professionalism.

[darrylkennedy]
