Conquering another sketchy hill.

What happens here

After assessing the excavator's limitations on the steep, soft slope, a new strategy is implemented for initial clearing. The operator manually uses a weed whip to cut down the overgrown grass and vegetation on the hill. This step is crucial for preparing the area for subsequent work, allowing better visibility of the terrain and removing obstacles that could impede heavy machinery or boulder placement.

we're going to just i got it figured out um what we're gonna do is we're gonna bring the fill soil in and we're gonna put it right here and build a ramp up so that you can easily drive the excavator up to get your boulder settings in place we'll trim this down just like you're doing okay then you put your your fill soil in you got your ramp which will get you about to there you can just gently drive up get your boulder settings in place and then when you come down you just cut the backfill portion of the ramp out flip it up use it for backfill and then you can just drag that back down behind the wall yep does that make sense okay perfect that that works well so we got this ridge so this is the ridge it goes drink and down that's to keep their water from going to their pool if we take that out we gotta put it back we don't take that out we just got to get the vegetation taken off this hill so we can put fabric down we going all the way over to the pine trees then alex all the way around okay yeah that makes sense i could have never scraped over there anyway and even if i did i don't know how consistent it would have been so yeah we've got a couple holes to fill and some stuff we've got to level out now but from our attempt not the end of the world though we'll just put a boulder setting right here actually probably complement nicely the the oak tree right behind me bring that in we got a couple a couple really nice boulders to do boulder settings with
