What happens here

After the rough grading, a layer of pulverized, screened black dirt is imported to top-dress the site. This black dirt is carefully spread and leveled using the compact track loader and hand-raking. A garden hose is strategically placed to outline the future patio area, providing a clear boundary for where the black dirt will be applied versus other materials (like concrete for the patio). The crew meticulously rakes and smooths the topsoil to prepare it for future planting or sod.

Goal: Finish grading the yard with a layer of nutrient-rich black dirt, preparing it for future landscaping.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] to topdress the site we import pulverize screen black dirt but on this job it doesn't go everywhere in fact we use a garden hose to outline where the future patio goes and that gives us a clear boundary to put the black dirt up [Music] when it comes to do a finishing grade for black dirt i've always preferred using a spring rake over a hard rake it covers a larger surface and it leaves just a better finished product in my opinion earlier in the video jason was saying we had a ken doll stop by and let yell at us for dumping in the street that wasn't us dumping in the street that was the company delivering the soil to us when we're drunk dumping on our project johnny's making sure to get up and over the curb but the other company's truck was a little bit bigger and i didn't want to challenge that operator to do the same thing that i knew my truck driver could do so we just let him dump in the street and quick cleaned it up but when it comes to johnny he's getting it up and over the curb [Music] oh i'd say he got almost all of it off from the streets got a little bit of fluff a little bit of fluff but we got a street to clean up and a load to get on so let's do that now
