Fit and finish, it is the most important part of our business.

The grade was off before I started by what I guessed was 12”. I eyeballed the grading as I went and checked it with a laser level. All four corners and the center were within 1/10th of a foot. (A little more than 1 inch) i’m definitely rusty because it took me too long to get this done. A little raking and compaction, this be perfect for what my needs are and within 1/4” variance.

It’s been a minute but I used to grade my landscape jobs. Yes, I am a landscape contractor but only focus on the electrical contracting side these days. I started as a laborer in landscaping in 1980 and worked my way up to General Superintendent in the landscape industry, while simultaneously do landscape lighting. I did it the hard way.

We are growing and we need more space, so I needed to grade out an area for more stuff. So I jumped on our skid steer and got it done.
