The asset determines the work sequence. Separate growing areas, structural surfaces and access routes so one grading decision does not create a defect in the next operation. Use the related application guides to turn the overall industry requirement into a specific job brief.

Scope and limits

Avoid treating deep tree-root preparation as a shallow grading task.
