How to Flip a House

What happens here

With all debris removed, fresh soil is brought in to fill the former pool basin and level the entire backyard. The Bobcat T180 skid-steer loader is then used for machine grading, spreading the soil evenly across the area and compacting it to create a stable sub-grade. This process ensures proper drainage and a uniform base for future landscaping. Any existing small trees that can be saved are carefully replanted, as seen with the pine tree in the video. The goal is a flat, expansive area.

Goal: New soil is imported to fill the pool excavation, and a Bobcat T180 skid-steer is used to rough grade the entire backyard area, creating a level sub-grade.
