It did its job. #hardscape #retainingwall

What happens here

As the professional crew continues excavation with the mini skid steer, they encounter an underlying layer of geo-grid within the soil. The narrator explicitly states its presence and highlights how it significantly complicates the removal of soil, remarking that it 'is doing its job.' This serves as a key point in understanding geo-grid's role: to reinforce soil and prevent easy displacement. The video shows the interwoven nature of the geo-grid with the soil and aggregate, indicating its effectiveness in forming a strong, resistant matrix.

Goal: Recognize the presence and understand the primary function of geo-grid in excavated soil.
