What happens here

After the retaining walls are complete and backfilled, spread a layer of black dirt over the exposed ground areas and prepare it for seeding or sod. Use a CAT skid steer loader to efficiently spread large quantities of black dirt, followed by manual raking to achieve a smooth and even surface. This re-establishes the yard's grade and provides a suitable medium for plant growth. Additionally, use the skid steer to push dirt up against the retaining walls, creating a seamless transition from the wall to the surrounding landscape.

Goal: Regrade the yard using black dirt and prepare for planting.
