What happens here

With the work area prepared, the excavator meticulously picks up individual large stones, or scoops a portion of the aggregate from the skid steer bucket, and carefully lowers them into the excavated trench. The use of the excavator's quick coupler and tilt rotator allows for precise manipulation and positioning of each stone, ensuring it fits snugly and creates the desired structure, such as a retaining wall. A ground worker may assist in guiding the placement, ensuring proper alignment and stability of the stones. This method avoids manual lifting and placement of heavy stones, significantly increasing efficiency and safety.

Goal: Accurately position stones to form a landscaping structure.
