What happens here
Remove the old decorative rock surrounding the house foundation. This is primarily done manually using shovels, rakes, and scoops, as heavy machinery like a skid steer cannot be used close to the CMU (concrete masonry unit) blocks of the house foundation. The CMU blocks are hollow core and susceptible to cracking if excessive pressure is applied. This manual process, though labor-intensive, ensures no damage to the existing structure.
Goal: Safely remove old decorative rock from around the house foundation.
