Concrete Pad Removal: Lawn Establishment on Compacted Fill

Same Virginia project as #37441 — detailed soil biology approach for post-construction lawn.

Compaction Warning

Heavy equipment on wet soil destroys structure. Every pass removes air pores that roots need.

Instant erosion control, roots establish before dormancy. But soil still needs long-term building — sod will "complain" about poor conditions.

Virginia Cooperative Extension offers excellent testing. Provide ZIP for contact info.
