What happens here

A yellow ASV RT-75 Posi-Track skid steer is actively used to spread piles of pulverized black dirt along the building perimeter. The host elaborates on the importance of this step, which involves raising the grade around the building to ensure proper drainage away from the foundation. He further explains that pulverized black dirt, containing some organic material, is specifically chosen over pure structural fill or just decorative rock. This choice is strategic because it allows for plant growth while the clay content in the dirt helps resist settlement over time.

Goal: Establish proper grade around the building using pulverized black dirt for drainage and planting.

so we've got to make extra sure that we're not hitting any utilities and we just did the most difficult places at first just to get them out of the way and then we saved all the easy places so once we rented an edger we could just bang all those out at once so dermock you wait a minute why are you putting black dirt around the perimeter of that building because in previous videos i've seen you putting decorative rock on top of that and that's really not a combination that makes a whole lot of sense so i'm going to give you guys a moment to try to figure that out and then i'll come back and explain exactly what we're doing and why we're actually using pulverized screen black dirt around the perimeter of the building versus structural fill soil
