What happens here

To overcome the issue of muddy topsoil, the team uses a large Daewoo excavator with a grappler attachment to dig down into a larger dirt pile to access drier, more suitable soil. This involves removing the wet, unusable top layer. The host explains the concept of a 'dirt teepee' or 'elongated dirt teepee' – a method of mounding dirt to shed water and keep the usable soil underneath dry, making it ready for use in grading.

Goal: Obtain dry, usable dirt from a larger pile by removing muddy top layers.
