Our local team, the Spokane Indians contacted us to laser grade their infield. This picture shows the basics of laser grading, where all control inputs to box scraper our done by a computer, which receives inputs by a laser beam striking a receiver on the tall mast on the front of the machine. Outputs are given to a valve, which automatically raises and lowers the box scraper.

This shows the job under way, light areas in grade are where cuts, or high points were, the dark areas are fills, or where low points were. Having a second loader is nice, if material needs to be picked up and moved a distance.”

Grade heading towards completion. After it’s graded the grounds crew will wet it down, let the moisture sit overnight then drag a nail board over it to homogenize the dirt in the infield, so there are no hard or soft spots. Many thanks to the Indians for choosing us do this job!

This is a backyard landscaping project we did for Josh and Jenny in Spokane, Washington.

“We highly recommend Specialty Services! Mike is wonderful to work with, prompt, professional, and fair. He was so good we immediately hired him for the next phase of our project. He loves what he does and it shows. What more could you ask for? ”

Josh & Ginny

We did a lot of work on this project, all of the concrete was removed, the sub-grade was redone, and we added topsoil and sod in the end.

Finished Landscape – Wittkopf’s Turf builder on this, a great product

What made this job a little unique is that the homeowners wanted to save a little money, well quite a bit actually. So Josh and Ginny did all the final raking, and laid all the sod! Well done guys, and it was a true pleasure working for you”
