Assess Existing Drainage and Soil Conditions

What happens here

The presenter begins by assessing the current state of the property on what is described as 'day two' of the project. He points out a significant negative pitch in the backyard, indicating that water flows directly towards the house, causing potential foundation issues. He also identifies an incorrectly placed soil ridge that is causing water to pool in an undesirable spot. The goal is to move this ridge and redirect water flow away from both the house and the neighboring property. The soil is noted to be very sandy and mixed with large rocks, which will pose challenges during the grading process.
