Rake and Remove Large Debris

What happens here

Using a landscape rake, carefully rake the prepared soil to remove any large rocks or particulate matter. Ensure the soil is loose and free of obstructions. If the soil is too compacted and difficult to loosen with a rake, lightly water the area to soften it, which will make raking easier. The goal is to create a consistent and uniform subgrade texture and level.

Goal: Achieve a loose, uniform, and debris-free subgrade.
