What happens here

Continue grading the driveway with the power rake, employing it like a 'bulldozer' to effectively push and redistribute material. Pay close attention to filling any low spots without digging into the existing high points of the driveway or causing unintended mixing of the different colored aggregate layers. The presenter demonstrates precisely how to raise and lower the rake to achieve a smooth and even surface, adjusting to the natural undulations of the driveway.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, level driveway by filling low spots and redistributing aggregate without mixing layers.
