    rotary ditch earned it’s keep today, nice finish! i do plenty of drainage and most times skim the topsoil and lay on the grass work area, then put the fill on top of it, backfill and spank everything with the rotary clean up bucket and peel all the topsoil back up and smooth it back down and then for the moneyshine finish i get the redmax backpack blower and it will blow every bit of dirt out of the grass and you only have to seed the trench…top secret knowledge right there!

Cos ppl cry as machine I use nobody gets hands on for safety and plus machine hire to site but I am designated operator so if damaged I get in the neck! Keeps job rite too👍 nice dirt btw and am looking forward to this """BIG PIPE""" job lol but still great job here 👍 thank for your time be safe and see you soon👍👋
