What happens here
With the retaining wall complete, the area behind it is prepared by backfilling and rough grading. A Caterpillar 259D skid steer is used to move the excavated soil back into place, creating the initial contours of the new yard. This particular skid steer is equipped with a specialized 'Hydro Bucket' attachment, which integrates the functionality of a Harley Rake. This powerful combination allows for efficient spreading of material while simultaneously loosening and aerating the compacted soil, making it ready for the subsequent fine grading process.
Goal: Fill behind the completed retaining wall and establish the initial contours of the new yard.
