What happens here

The first site visit is for a retaining wall rebuild. The crew has already set up the area with gravel and equipment like a Bobcat T180 skid steer and a mini-excavator. The owner mentions the challenge of working on a street without damaging yards and highlights the use of wooden pallets to stage materials. The project involves rebuilding all retaining walls in the development, and the quote for this initial yard is $5,000, including reusing existing boulders, importing 240 cubic yards of soil, and regrading the backyard.

Goal: Assess and plan the rebuilding of retaining walls.
