What happens here

After completing the main work on the backyard slope, the focus shifts to restoring the access path that the heavy machinery used. Workers first use rakes and a leaf blower to clear any debris and loose soil from the path. Following this, the compact track loader is brought back to scarify and regrade the path, ensuring that it is properly prepared for new vegetation and restored to its pre-project condition. This step highlights the importance of thorough cleanup and restoration of all affected areas.

Goal: Clean and restore the machinery access path to its original condition, preparing it for new vegetation.

Tools and materials

  • Hydro Bucket — Scarifying and leveling the path
  • Leaf Blower — Clearing leaves and loose soil from the path
  • Rakes — Manually clearing debris and leveling small areas
  • Leaves/Debris N/A — Organic material and small debris cleared from the path

What they say

Hide

here and do it all in one fell swoop yeah it's actually I say it on camera it's actually prepping it for seat at the same time if you tried to do that with a regular bucket you'd be actually flat topping it so the seed wouldn't stick oh no you would be definitely yeah we had it like that before I mean I can back drag and show you if you want like how it just compresses it down right if you were to back-drag you could even scrape it but then you're scraping some off the top and you know then you got to go through and kind of fluff it up with a rake but yes you just literally save Sam a half a day of raking all this yep yeah that's it's gonna be then you just throw your seat down and rake it in and cover it up you know it's gonna be it's it's its weight right now I'm kind of mulching the silkier clay base stuff sandy stuff with the with the black dirt right now spinning it together mixing it up yeah so it goes a little deeper so we don't have a stratification a layering system which is I mean it's a layering so what I'm actually talking about Tim's talking about is he's not getting a layer of black dirt and then the subsoil he's actually getting it all mixed together and that's the that means the roots will grow deeper into that soil that's a it's a bit much better way of doing it because you're gonna have less erosion problems down the road and that's what we want here exactly so that's the problem that we're facing so there's buckets kind of a little bit of a lifesaver isn't it yeah that's pretty cool they keep inventing stuff man no we've been doing this for about 20-something years at least and we haven't invented never invented a you're an inventor keep doing what you're doing it will keep using what you did what you make I need stuff to make life easier oh god yes all right I'm gonna let you go hey guys well let's wrap this one up let's see where these our guys are going we're gonna be seating this one we're gonna be putting blanket on it yeah we're not sodding this slope because it just was out of the customers budget let's be let's be real it's not in their budget it's not in their butt [Music] in behind so with the majority of the work done in the backyard we've got to clean up the path that we use to come in and out before we can get to the next step which is putting down this soil erosion blanket in the backyard and that means making sure that we get all the excess soil in the place that we drove in and out Scarah fied regraded and ready to go…
