What happens here
The skid steer continues to operate, pushing and pulling dirt to create the basic contours of the swale along the back of the houses. The machine's movements are aimed at shaping the landscape to ensure water will flow away from the foundations and into the designated drainage path. This involves strategically excavating in some areas and redistributing existing soil to build up other sections, forming the gradual slopes of the swale.
Goal: Shape the terrain to create a functional swale for water redirection.
