# How to Level Loose Dirt With a Box Blade
A box blade or box scraper attaches to a tractor and is used to move and break the earth, such as small hills and gravel. It can be used to smooth, grade, scrape, level, clear or landscape a yard or driveway. You can use a box blade to fill in potholes, make your driveway look good as new or even prep your yard prior to laying sod.
