What happens here

Perform the final grading of the building pad using the skid steer. This phase requires meticulous attention to detail to achieve a 'buttery smooth' and precisely level surface. Make multiple passes with the machine, adjusting the blade angle incrementally to shave off high spots and fill in low areas. Aim for a consistent slope that promotes proper drainage. This critical step ensures a stable and ready foundation for any future structures.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly level and smooth building pad for construction.
