Bringing this yard back to life for someone in need.

What happens here

After the landscape fabric is in place, spread a layer of white or light gray gravel over the designated area, which appears to be intended for a fire pit and seating. Use the mini skid steer to efficiently distribute the gravel, then use a rake to evenly spread and level it to the desired depth, typically 2-4 inches. This creates a clean, low-maintenance surface.

Goal: Create a decorative and functional gravel surface for the fire pit area.
