Prepare Ground for Patio Hardscaping

What happens here

After the area for the patio is cleared and leveled, a heavy-duty landscape fabric is rolled out and secured. This fabric helps prevent weed growth and separates the base material from the underlying soil. A thick layer of crushed gravel or aggregate is then spread evenly over the fabric, compacted, and leveled to create a firm, well-draining base for the subsequent paver installation.

Goal: The ground is prepared for the patio by laying down landscape fabric and spreading a base layer of gravel, which provides drainage and a stable foundation for pavers.
