Initial Exterior Grading and Excavation

What happens here

The project begins with a bobcat, or skid steer, operator using the front loader to remove existing soil from around the garage foundation. The goal is to correct the grades outside the building to ensure proper water runoff, moving soil away from the foundation. The operator skillfully manipulates the bucket to scrape and move significant amounts of dirt, preparing the area for further foundation work. This initial step is crucial for addressing the root cause of foundation issues by preventing water accumulation near the base of the structure.

Goal: Remove existing soil and adjust grades to direct water away from the foundation.
