What happens here

Using a Bobcat E325 excavator and a CAT skid steer, the crew meticulously removes unsuitable soil from the old pond area. The goal is to dig down and remove any black, unstable soil until a stable, brown structural fill is reached. This is a critical step to ensure the long-term stability of the new patio and prevent future settlement.

Goal: Remove unstable soil to reach structural fill for a stable patio base.
