Concrete around an existing pool. We extended the deck out and made a bigger pad for the pool equipment to sit on. The job involved a lot of manual labor. As we could not get a machine into the job. Topsoil, fill dirt, colored mulch.

Pouring concrete in Woodstock this week. Also had plent of fill dirt to haul this week and even a load of mulch to Powder Springs to finish the week out.

Today we were moving fill dirt around in the east Cobb area. King wall company is building a wall off of horseshoe knoll and we are hauling the dirt for them to backfill the wall with. Topsoil would not be a good fit in this area as the topsoil holds water and the weight would eventually cause the wall to fail. So what makes good fill dirt? Usually a red Georgia clay that is free of any roots is best. Different types of fill dirt can be used. On this particular job they have a soil engineer onsite testing the soil as it is bein placed.

This week we are on a demolition job. We are removing approximately 5500 sq ft of concrete. We are doing this job for company that does a lot of concrete work, however they do not do any of the demolition service themselves. They sub all the workout. The heavy rain showers this week have definitely put a dent in our progress this week. Luckily as soon as the showers pass we should be able to get back to work. If it had been a grading job we may be sitting for a couple of days while the job dries out. Topsoil, 57’s, crusher run, 34’s, fill dirt

On Monday we will be starting a clearing and grading job in Powder Springs. We have already installed the driveway entrance that will eventually be concrete. For now they will leave it rock through the construction phase of the project. We have to clear out a 40x 40 pad for the barn to set on and then install 4 inches of Rick over the entire pad. After we clear the trees off the site we will haul them off in Rolloffs and they will be take to the landfill and recycled. Maybe in a couple of week we will start the digging of the basement.

This week we are going to start an asphalt driveway in Hiram. The unfortunate part is we are resurfacing a driveway that has just been asphalted. The work was not done correctly and now the asphalt is peeling up and the rocks are not staying together on the hill. To fix this proble we are going to put permaflex on the hill and then use a asphalt topping mix to top the driveway out. At approximately 90 days we will go back over the driveway and put a seal coat on the driveway. By the end of the week we will be starting a concrete driveway in Marietta. The driveway is not to big only about 3500 square feet. We will use a 4000 psi concrete to install the new concrete. We have 4 loads of screened topsoil to deliver this week. I’m sure some contractors will call also for trucks or gravel this week as well.
