Regrading to Fix a Wet Basement. 4k start to finish landscape project
What happens here
The first physical step involves extensive excavation around the house's foundation, particularly near the deck and affected basement areas. A mini excavator (Bobcat 325) and a Bobcat S185 skid-steer loader are used to remove soil, creating a trench for the retaining wall and establishing the initial, desired slope away from the foundation. Manual shoveling is also used for precise shaping and cleaning out the trench.
Goal: Remove existing soil to create a proper grade and trench for the retaining wall.
