You Can Make Water Drain Up a Hill! How to Fix Standing Water in the Lawn
Overview
This video follows a real drainage problem on an active homestead build: water pooling where a future pole barn floor will sit and washing out a driveway. Tony uses a laser level and a TYM T474 backhoe to plan and dig an 80-foot drainage ditch with engineered grade, explaining the logic as he goes. Best for homesteaders tackling similar grading challenges who want to see the laser-level planning process alongside actual backhoe work.
An owner-operator documenting ongoing homestead development, so the perspective is hands-on and practical rather than sales-oriented.
