What happens here

This video details the process of creating precise ground slopes and rock-lined drainage swales to effectively manage storm water runoff and improve yard drainage. The project involves heavy machinery for earthmoving, constructing a rock retaining wall, installing geotextile fabric, backfilling, and compacting soil to direct water away from structures and towards a pond.
