What happens here

The initial attempt involved excavating the existing rock and soil from the area beside the house and stacking it. However, a critical mistake was made: the excavated rock was contaminated with dirt, rendering it unsuitable for re-use as decorative rock. This contamination means the existing rock will have to be hauled away, incurring additional costs and requiring new rock to be purchased.

Goal: Remove existing materials, but identify and learn from the contamination mistake.

Tools and materials

  • Rake — Spreading and leveling soil
  • Shovel — Digging and moving soil and rock
  • Existing Rock — Material excavated from the site, but contaminated
