What happens here

Continue using the mini skid steer to spread and level the topsoil, ensuring a smooth and even surface across the entire yard. Follow up with hand tools, such as a landscape rake, to finely grade and smooth the soil. This creates the ideal base for laying sod, promoting even growth and preventing uneven patches.

Goal: Prepare a smooth and level soil base for sod.
