Here's a quick look at a few of our upcoming excavating and landscaping projects. In addition to these we also have a couple more in the pipeline! In this episode I'll show you one rural farm homestead and some of the projects that we will be doing for the land owners there, which includes filling and regrading a new lawn to get a good pitch so that water runs off of it. In case you missed it, here was the first stage of getting their farmstead fixed up, this was regrading a 1/3rd mile long gravel driveway with the Bobcat T650 soil conditioner/power grader:

Currently they have several spots that hold a lot of water, so we will be fixing that and getting the proper water runoff drainage, and then planting a new lawn. Then there are some problem willow trees growing next to their road on the road/pond dam. Then there is the severely overgrown (used to be lawn) area with super thick briers and a handful of honey locust trees that need to be pulled, remove all of the thick briers and regrade it for a nice lawn. Lastly, but certainly not least, they have multiple leaks in their pond dam of their beautiful country lake! We'll be working to repair multiple spots in the pond dam to fix all of the leaks (there are several of them) and get it all regraded and planted so that they can get back to mowing it again like it used to be. While we may not quite be Letsdig18, we sure are living the dream and helping out our neighbors and friend with projects like this the best we can!
