“Patron, get my good side”

What happens here

The video shows the continuous effort of a team working on preparing the soil. The narrator explicitly states, 'Getting it all cut out, rototilled, prepped for the sod.' This indicates that after initial shaping, a rototiller is used to break up compacted soil, improving aeration and making it easier for sod roots to establish. This process also helps mix in any amendments like compost or topsoil if added.

Goal: Break up and prepare the soil for sod

Tools and materials

  • Rototiller — Breaking up and aerating the soil
  • Skid Steer — Moving large amounts of soil and potentially rough grading
