After demonstrating the smearing and clumping result of trying to backdrag the area that we had tilled and transferred dirt from, the homeowner decided to till the area one more time and leave it that way since it was uniform. He intends to rake a little if needed before seeding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/41a6d085-9f72-43fc-969e-d398c01e4b1d/260059851_190806836584702_4045430697532823596_n.jpg Example Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/ee231a35-5ce3-49cc-8ba4-bb4059dd0323/259994838_190806993251353_5764061811308996165_n.jpg Example Projects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/c7d9ac6a-50c1-4ea7-8a86-9282dac5c589/IMG_6841.jpg Example Projects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/61f75471-d6bf-482a-acfc-cfef4c8dae87/IMG_6846+small.jpg Example Projects - The swale that we cut runs parallel to the fence on the property line. The picture does not do justice to the slopes involved. There is a drop from the high point at the house to the ditch in front of about 1.5 feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/d88b1e2f-446c-4431-879e-86e697483fcc/IMG_6849+small.jpg Example Projects - Here you can see we’ve raised the ground about 3 feet at the house and created about a 6 inch drop as it slopes away. This directs water behind the house and into the swale we cut that runs to the ditch in the front. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/a4dde992-b40b-4514-8f9c-22ff263aa20d/IMG_6853.jpg Example Projects - While we had freed up the dirt, the homeowner also had us raise a low spot behind his garage in the backyard a few inches to ensure any water in the backyard continued to flow to the ditch below the property. Due to the wetness of the dirt we were working with, the back dragging we did to smooth this area wasn’t perfect, but it was uniform and could probably be seeded with minimal raking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1634953628593-3Q14LX9WJGD9IE388XXQ/IMG_3915.JPG Example Projects This customer had some water issues in his crawl space, and was putting in a French drain himself. Not having any equipment of his own, he had us dig out the space for the drain along the front of the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1625784267739-FU635MBWBT7YV8VOEGER/IMG_3029.jpg Example Projects - We’re going to need a lot of dirt. What you can’t see in the images is how steep this slope is. We got 66 tons of fill dirt delivered to build up the parking area. The intent was not to make the area perfectly level. That would have required well over 100 tons of fill dirt. We want to leave a small amount of slope to both save some money and allow for good run-off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1624558859707-O6REEAAWDSNVHBUIU6P9/IMG_3002.JPG Example Projects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1625785068091-FNJ98OTYR8JR2PVTQ59T/IMG_3056.jpg Example Projects - Final spread. We spread out the crusher run and had a perfect amount of material. The result is a long, gently sloped parking area big enough for multiple long trailers. Now we just need some rain to pack it down and lock it in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1634954598039-U9B4AWCWJ4GZTDC92Y2V/242477472_146992737632779_6723162394953650998_n.jpg Example Projects While this tractor isn’t an ideal machine for “bush hogging” due to how low to the ground it is, it will do a great job, albeit slower due to the smaller cutter. This was a 7 acre project for a former coworker who needed to knock down the growth on a new property he purchased. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1634953750204-V5UHZJAIE9W0EA1WSEJY/IMG_4036.jpg Example Projects By doing all of the other work himself, this client was able to save a substantial amount of money. We were able to save his back though and take care of the heavy digging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1625784431511-ISQ7H97P446X4F8ZRLWF/IMG_3043.jpg Example Projects - Time to build the slope. We used the 66 tons of fill dirt to shape a more gentle slope. We also had to dig the ground beside the existing drive way down a bit, so that we we added the crusher run, we’d have a t least 4 inches of it starting at the asphalt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1625784683734-L685MJLWNITCW3Y77YS6/IMG_3050.jpg Example Projects - Don’t scrimp. We wanted to make sure all of the fill dirt stays in place where we want it, so we got 44 tons of crusher run to ensure we have at least 4 inches of coverage on the parking surface, and a couple inches on each side of the build up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1634953212311-TN7L8RT5ENZOA4EFGFID/IMG_3246.JPG Example Projects This growth was approximately 20 feet across and about 10 feet high. Once we started clearing it out, we discovered there was a sizable cedar tree/bush in the middle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1624481787943-4BYSSOWPFF3VCE3LGA09/IMG_2991.JPG Example Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1624481928256-G1QAZGVPKO5S4XIJY8OJ/IMG_2986.jpg Example Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1624483069116-DNQOJFIBJPNPQC3HJ3K7/IMG_2988.jpg Example Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1625784122633-7UFEBQVGSYGVHKTKBBJX/IMG_2818.jpg Example Projects - Initial Status The area was heavily wooded, and on a very steep slope. The first thing we did was clear out all of the trees and brush and get a clear surface to work with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/1634953396433-CIFH37SFOM3FVEDZ3JJR/IMG_3366.jpg Example Projects In about an hours time, the growth was piled street side, and we were beginning to relocate some sod from another spot on the property where we were prepping for a sidewalk installation. https://tesmallequipment.com/amazon daily 0.75 2024-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/d554674a-03c1-412a-a0d6-4a2fd58f99db/61KHVxj0OkL._AC_SL1415_.jpg Amazon Associate - Retractable Ratchet Straps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/a137e5a7-23bc-406e-9921-4c01e064f471/71R3wo7kBkL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Amazon Associate - Strap Protectors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c75703a0d1804acb34240b/326a2282-d889-4e2b-a339-804bd10b049e/IMG_9918.jpg Amazon Associate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
