Heavy Grading and Earthwork to Create Gentle Slopes

What happens here

With the necessary fill soil in place, the primary excavation and grading work begins. The Daewoo 75V excavator, operated by both the professional and sometimes by the customer's 8-year-old son (under close supervision, demonstrating the simplicity of modern machine controls), meticulously shapes the terrain. The goal is to eliminate the sharp drops and tiered structure of the old retaining walls, replacing them with smooth, continuous, and gentle slopes. This involves carefully moving, cutting, and filling soil to achieve the desired contours for a flat, usable backyard area directly off the house's deck, transitioning seamlessly into the surrounding natural landscape.

Goal: Reshape the entire backyard slope using heavy machinery to create a gentle, usable grade.
