Wall FAILURE about to hit house-Plus we pull a mean one! START to FINISH 4 k Wall build

What happens here

The final layer of backfill is carefully applied and graded to achieve the desired slope and aesthetic. The skid steer is used to move large amounts of dirt, which is then spread and compacted in layers to ensure stability and proper drainage away from the house and retaining wall. The mini excavator is also used to fine-tune some areas of the grade.

Goal: Finish shaping the landscape around the new retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Bobcat 325 Mini Excavator Bobcat — Fine-tuning grade in tight areas
  • Skid Steer Loader ASV RT-75 Posi-Track — Moving and grading large amounts of soil
