Transforming a Front Yard: From Topsoil to Recycled Asphalt Milling Path

TLDRIn this video, I transform a client's front yard by installing a recycled asphalt milling path to solve the problem of a muddy topsoil area. I also create a path to the backyard for easy access and address some other landscaping issues. Watch the video to see the process and the final result!

Key insights

💡Installing a recycled asphalt milling path can be an effective solution for areas with muddy topsoil.

🔨Building up the side of the path using excess material creates better turning access for the client's machines.

🔌Encountering buried conduits or cables may require coordination with utility providers for fixing or rerouting.

🌱After installing the asphalt milling path, the area can be top-coated and seeded for a finished look.
