In this video
The drain field trenches are backfilled with the excavated soil using a skid steer loader. The soil is carefully pushed back over the kraft paper. Once the trenches are filled, the entire area is graded and leveled to prepare for planting grass. The presenter shows the finished drain field with evenly mounded trenches and mentions his plan to plant grass seed to ensure the area remains green and stable, preventing it from becoming a mud pit.
