What happens here

The speaker points out the rough grade of the soil adjacent to the newly installed paver patio. He mentions that loads of soil will need to be brought in to taper the grade smoothly from the patio down into the yard. This process ensures proper drainage away from the patio and prepares the area for future landscaping, such as sod installation or planting beds. A compact track loader or mini skid steer is visible in the background, likely used for moving and grading soil.

Goal: Prepare the ground adjacent to the patio for proper drainage and landscaping.

Tools and materials
