- Roughening, or scarification, of the surface using a track excavator bucket to create numerous gouges in the ground will follow mulch application. The excavator will pull the ground surface and mulch toward the machine in a manner that creates pockets twelve inches (12 ") deep, by the excavator bucket width by approximately eighteen inches (18 ") long. These gouges must be sufficiently close so that no more than eighteen inches (18 ") exists between the crest of one gouge and the crest of an adjacent gouge, in any direction, both vertical and horizontal.
