What happens here

The site around the retaining wall is meticulously graded using a skid steer to ensure all water pitches down towards the parking lot, where appropriate drains are located. Sam emphasizes that this area was previously a 'swamp' with nowhere for water to go, leading to stagnant water and potential property damage. This grading prevents water accumulation, erosion, and effectively manages stormwater runoff, improving the environmental performance of the site.

Goal: The site undergoes final grading to establish proper water drainage towards the parking lot, resolving previous water pooling issues and preventing future erosion.
