What happens here
Once the excavator bucket is safely positioned directly above the narrow backfill trench, slowly and carefully tilt the bucket to release the aggregate stone. Distribute the stone evenly along the trench in manageable layers, typically 6 to 8 inches deep. This controlled release is crucial to facilitate proper compaction in the subsequent step. Precision is paramount to ensure the stone lands exactly where intended and does not spill or apply undue pressure to the retaining wall, which could compromise its stability.
Goal: Accurately place aggregate stone in the confined backfill area.
