Getting the other warehouse up to snuff landscaping wise 

What happens here

Following the initial excavation, a compact utility loader (similar to a Ditch Witch SK series) equipped with a rotary tiller or soil conditioner attachment is used to further prepare the soil. The operator engages the attachment, driving the machine over the excavated areas to break up compacted earth, aerate the soil, and mix in any remaining smaller aggregates. This process helps to create a loose, workable soil bed that is level and ready for subsequent planting or turf installation.

Goal: Condition and level the soil for planting and seeding.
