What happens here
In the final stage, the skid-steer meticulously grades the entire filled area. The narrator explains that soil is placed in very thin layers (1-2 inches) and then compacted using the machine's weight. Finally, a layer of pulverized screen black dirt (topsoil) is spread over the top. This careful grading and topsoil application ensure a perfectly level surface that is stable, drains properly, and is ready for new grass or other landscaping, preventing future unevenness or water collection.
Goal: Prepare the filled area with a smooth, stable surface ready for landscaping.
