Welcome back to Masonwork Safarian. How
are you? First, before we start with my
talking part, come let's let's get some
of the
action. So, over here we have Wow. Watch
this small little machine over here.
This is called a concrete buggy. Some
people call it a Georgia buggy.
Basically, it holds a lot of
concrete and it allows us to unload the
stuff a lot faster. Hey, so you see we
unloaded over here. Um, this job over
here is a basketball court like we did
two years ago, except that it's a lot
different than what we did two years
ago. I'll show you. How big is it? This
is a 40 by 20. Um, but if we turn around
to over there, we'll see that the ground
over here is not level. So, what we had
to do is we had to truck out loads and
loads of dirt and we put up a beautiful
retaining wall over here. Are you also
doing retaining walls? Beautiful
retaining walls. Um, and another thing
that we have to keep in mind is
drainage. Drainage is a very, very
important thing. You have drainage
pitched to towards your house, it's no
good. You have drainage pitched towards
the wall, also no good. So over here,
it's covered up in tape so it doesn't
get dirty. But underneath over here,
there's a drain. Oh, wow. This drain is
is is a French drain. It runs underneath
the ground under over here, and it goes
all the way to the front to the
driveway. There's something called a
pop-up emitter. You know how important
is a a retaining wall to do the right
way? Because a lot of times retaining
walls on houses that are really folding
like Yeah. Yeah. Retaining walls if
they're not done right. If they're not
specked by an engineer or they're not
done by somebody that that that knows
what they're doing, you're going to have
problems down the line. There's always
going to be the cheaper guy, but you get
what you pay for. Um, so over here we
have we did the retaining wall, we did
the drain, then we're going to do the
basketball court over here. So, one of
the things that we like to take
advantage of is mountain air machinery.
This process is called screeding. We use
it's called a vibrre. So, it vibrates
the rocks down to the bottom while also
getting it to the level that you want.
And then afterwards, we we finish it and
smooth it out properly to give it to the
right finish that that either the client
wants or that's a necessity for the job.
Also, this client is putting in footing
is putting in a deck. So, we're going to
do the footings once we have the truck
over here. I'm thinking let me see. Let
me see the footing.
Oh, it's awesome.
Oh, wow. People got a deck over here.
What's What What's this? What's this
frame over here? This frame over here is
a deck. Uh there's they're going to have
a deck with steps. It's going to come
down. It's going to come down over here.
And then if we continue up to the front
of the house, by the way, over here, you
can see where the drain comes
up. Um this pipe over here. Well, this
pipe. So, so over here, we're putting a
shed over here. So, we're putting a pad
for a shed over here. So, we have a
water problem over here, right? The
water is going to come down over here.
This is all sorted out in
advance. The water's The water is going
to come down over here, but then it's
going to hit a shed. So, we're putting
another linear drain over here. It's
going to connected to that pipe and come
out over
there. It's all stuff that have to be
factored out in advance. Um, you know,
there's it's it's a lot of thought that
goes into a job like this. It's not, you
know, especially a job like this where
the ground is not is not ready for for
what needs to go into it. So, there's a
lot there's a lot that goes into It's
the retain, it's the taking out the
dirt, setting it to the right
elevations. It's the retaining walls.
It's the drainage. It's all that all
that taken into consideration. We also
have to be careful if a if a client has
sprinkler lines to take out the
sprinkler lines. And either, you know,
sometimes we could put it back together.
Sometimes you're going to have to bring
your sprinkler guy. But over here, you
can see we took out the sprinkler lines,
pushed them over to the side like this.
It's not something that we have to worry
about. So, another thing I wanted to
show you, but we didn't start it yet.
Over here, is for example, over here,
after we're done with the concrete,
we're going to put down pavers over It's
going to be it's going to be a beautiful
look over here that's going to add it
expands the driveway, but it's going to
add to it. But you also do brick pavers.
It's brick pavers. Um you there's
different types of pavers, but we do it
all. Another thing that's very very
important that we don't that there
really isn't such a thing I think in
Lakewood. After this video, everybody's
going to do it. Um but for example, you
have a shaky This one's not shaky, but
you have a shaky railing, right? Or you
have a cracked limestone or a couple of
your stones fell off. Who do you call
who do you call to fix it? Most of the
big guys don't want to touch it. So,
what we did was we didn't either want to
touch it, but we we we we hire we we put
together a dedicated service team
specifically for these small jobs. You
you send us a text with a picture and
describe with your address and and we
will get back to you with a range of a
quote and we'll put you in the schedule
once you agree. But it's a service that
I think is really really important.
Yeah. A lot of times, you know, there's
a little more cement, you know, in the
holes over here just, you know, to give
it the right support. a crack in one of
these stones fall off or even a small a
small slab. Who's going to do a small
slab for you? You have a slab that's
back pitched the wrong way. Who's who's
doing all that for you? So, we have a
dedicated service division like this.
It's something that we could focus on
end user clients besides for the
foundations that we're building that we
have time for the end user clients as
well. Amazing. The kids are no job too
big and no jobs too small. Yeah, we do
everything. I would say that's about
right. Okay, so here's two of our
trucks. Um, you know, we have one truck
over here. It's got the dump trailer on
it. Another truck for the flatbed. We we
box them. We have our own in-house
crews, our own our own machinery. So,
moving stuff around is very, very
important to us. Our phone number is
