What happens here

The entrepreneurs discuss their current project: modifying a lakefront property by excavating and re-grading the terrain. The house is elevated 14 feet above the water, and they are cutting down the grade to create usable space by the lake, allowing the homeowners to install a dock and utilize the lakefront. Garett explains the lengthy permitting process, which took three months to finalize. They plan to use some of the excavated soil to fill a swale in the front of the property, level it, and then haul away the remaining soil. They will then spread topsoil, roto-till it, and seed it, finishing with an erosion blanket.

Goal: Understand the scope and execution of a typical large-scale landscaping project.
