Execute Fine Grading and Slope Refinement

What happens here

The operator continues with detailed grading using the skid steer's bucket. The aim is to create a consistent and effective drainage slope, targeting a roughly 3:1 ratio (3 feet horizontal for every 1 foot vertical) where feasible. This process involves numerous passes, pushing, spreading, and leveling the soil. The operator demonstrates using the back edge of the bucket for precision cuts, acting much like a large, powerful hand tool to fine-tune the grade. This iterative approach allows for gradual adjustments to blend the slopes seamlessly and achieve the desired contours for optimal water runoff. Precision in these passes ensures that water is directed away from the house without creating new low spots or interfering with adjacent properties.
