What happens here

After the entire retaining wall structure is built and all blocks are set, the final steps involve backfilling the remaining exposed areas with soil and performing final grading. The mini excavator is used for large-scale backfilling, while hand tools like shovels and rakes are employed for fine grading and shaping the landscape around the newly constructed wall and patio. The goal is to ensure proper drainage and a finished, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Goal: Complete backfilling, fine grading, and ensure proper drainage around the new structures.
