Pool Demolition & Landscaping with new equipment in Bloomington MN, Construction & Ventrac

What happens here

Utilize a Ventrac Power Rake with its specialized attachment to aggressively scarify and break up the hard-packed clay soil. Drive the machine systematically across the entire area, ensuring the power rake tines penetrate deeply enough to loosen the compacted layers. This process not only breaks up the hard soil but also effectively levels the ground, eliminating uneven spots and preparing a consistent subgrade.

Goal: Break up deep compaction and establish a rough level.
