In �at areas, the foundation is broken up and buried in a hole adjacent to foundation. The area is then graded and seeded.
On high slope areas the foundations are covered with at least 3 feet of topsoil. The area is then graded and seeded.
Excavation of hole adjacent to foundation Breaking up the foundation Graded area is ready for seeding
