It was sloppy muck. The contractor wanted to leave it piled up and come back in a few months to spread it out after it dried. I knew it would be near impossible to get them back out as it took 6 months of waiting to get to me. I convinced him that while the dozer was already dirty a little muck wouldn't hurt it. He really did not want to do it but finally relented. Considering how difficult the job was the kid running it did a real nice job and I paid for the extra hours worked and them some.
