What happens here

An important part of the site preparation involves carefully adjusting the overall grade and addressing specific topographical features like existing "drop-offs." As mentioned, there's a drop-off on the backside of the building that needs to be "pushed back." This involves using the dozer for precision grading to ensure the entire area, including the extended section where the asphalt will eventually go, has the correct slope and elevation. Proper grading is vital for effective water drainage, preventing pooling, and ensuring a uniform thickness of the future asphalt layer.

Goal: Fine-tune the site's elevation and slope for drainage and asphalt placement.
