    Reminds me of the video where the guy is using a grading bucket to spread topsoil between a sidewalk and road and kids got their Tonka trucks out there. Operator dumps a little topsoil in their trucks made their day 😊

    It is really nice to see the finishing part of this project, going to look nice when done. Having been on the landscaping end of projects, it was always nice to come onto the site and see that the rough grade was done well, these scapers are going to be in hoggy dog heaven the way you have that part slicked up for them. Thanks for the ride along sir.

    Looks mint, but just currious why you backfilled everything to the top or sidewalk? Are they just gonna try to seed everything? Around here on a job like that we'll grade everything 4-6 inches low where grass is and like at least a foot in garden beds for the landscapers to bring in screened topsoil

    I wonder what gives Chris more satisfaction, doing a small job like this, I say small as if I'm and expert when I'm not! Or finishing a 5 acre dam. I suppose it's perspective, this one was seemingly simple and the visual impact quite quick, whereas the dams and large clearances take a lot of time, but when finished they visually have the biggest impact.
