This job I cut a swale around the customers house to divert water away from the house. The yard was sloped right to the back of the house and they were getting water in their crawlspace. I cut about a 250' long swale around the back of the house and a small swale out the front. I cut about 8 loads of material out of the swale, then prepped the area for hydroseed. I also brought in a load of base rock and freshened the driveway up. Was excited to also try a harley rake on this job and do a side by side comparison with it and the preparator. To me they both have their place but if you can only get one attachment I would recommend the harley rake. It seems to do a better job of loosening up the existing soil and grass, it also has a really nice finish when you get the hang of it. The preparator is more of a final pass attachment it has a slightly better finish to it but does not tear up the grass or the hard packed ground as well. It was fun to have both on the job and I do plan on purchasing a harley rake later this year. All in all the project came out nice and the customer was very happy. I plan to get back to do a follow up and hopefully catch it raining to see how it drains. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #FFCPreparator #Harleyrake
