What happens here
After all concrete debris is removed from the pit, the area is ready for backfilling. The skid steer is used to move large quantities of soil into the former pool basin. This process involves carefully spreading the soil, layer by layer, and compacting it to prevent future settling. The goal is to fill the entire cavity and grade the surface to match the surrounding landscape, preparing it for new landscaping or construction.
Goal: Fill the excavated pool area with soil and grade it.
