Demolition Project with Before, During and After Timelapse

What happens here

The ASV RT-75 skid-steer continues spreading and rough grading the remaining dirt within the pool area. This prepares the site for final grading and ensures a level surface for the new lawn. The narrator emphasizes the two zones: the structural zone (bottom to 12 inches below surface) and the organic zone (top 12 inches).

Goal: Complete rough grading and define structural/organic zones

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Skid-Steer Loader ASV — Rough grading and spreading dirt

we just couldn't get it down into the pool bottle so once we get the majority of the demolition out and the concrete removed then we can start to cut straight on just dirt at work and we have two zones one we call the structural zone and then the other is the organic zone the structural zone is from the bottom of the swimming pool up to within about the top 12 inches and what we do with that soil is all pretty consistent place it compact it try to get the best material to the right moisture content that's a critical element but once we get within the top 12 inches we look for organic material to start to incorporate into that top layer now we do include one load of pulverize screen black dirt on every single one of our projects but sometimes it takes more than that the thing is is we can't tell exactly how much dirt we're going to need until we get all of the grades set our number one goal when we're done with a swimming pool is to make sure that we get all of the water to flow down and away from the remaining structures sometimes I can be confined like you see it here in a small space but other times we have to go to three times the size of the swimming pool to catch the grade outside further into the yard that's when we'll bring in extra black dirt on request or actually on them as a needed basis see what Sam and Todd are doing down there they're agate hounds it's actually kind of cool no seriously these guys love agate okay let's walk look over and see what pretty rock Sam found Sam what pretty rock did you find come on I know you got a rock in your hand that's a $50 rock with with how the banding is in it there's not any carts or whatever and then you then it spilling through the back so you can see the layers yeah Todd made some surprisingly good money in a bait and a house demo we did the basement was full of rocks you were picking rocks out of the bottom of the basement let's back this up we'll finish this story let's get him fueled up you found one that was worth
