Final Grading and Contour Blending

What happens here

The operator makes repeated passes with the power rake, carefully adjusting the blade angle and depth to refine the grade. The goal is to eliminate any remaining high or low spots, blend the transition between different elevations, and achieve a smooth, uniform surface suitable for seeding or other final treatments. The operator highlights the importance of making passes in multiple directions (cross-hatching) to ensure a truly blended and even finish. Areas with dry, optimal soil conditions respond particularly well to these final passes.

Goal: The process concludes with final passes of the power rake to smooth out the surface, blend contours, and achieve a consistent, ready-to-use grade for subsequent landscaping or construction.
