Grading, roads, and underground in Durham
Durham is orchard ground, and orchard ground means land leveling, ag roads that carry loaded nut carts in October, ponds and tailwater returns, and orchard removal on the narrow window between one crop and the next planting.
The calendar runs the work here. We schedule around harvest rather than expecting the grower to schedule around us, which mostly means the dirt work happens in a rush after the shaking is done and before the ground gets too wet to compact.

Everywhere we workDurham questions
That is the normal way it happens. Push and grind the old block, level to a laser or GPS surface, rebuild the roads and the head ditch, and be off before the planting crew arrives. Get on the calendar early: everyone wants the same six weeks.
