I just finished my 500th yard of broom finish this year

I was adding up my invoices from the last few months and the total hit 500 square yards. It hit me that I've been doing this for 15 years and never kept track like that before. It made me realize how much of our work is that specific finish, especially on driveways here in the suburbs. I started thinking about all the brooms I've worn out to get here (probably 20 of them). Has anyone else ever tallied up a specific finish type they do over a season? I'm curious if that's a normal number or if I'm just in a broom finish rut.

Never thought to count until I saw your post.

Heard about a buddy who tracked his exposed aggregate work one summer. Dude hit like 300 yards before July and almost quit from the shock. Makes your 500 look like a marathon.

What got you through that kind of crazy pace?
