Backyard Makeover Time Lapse Before and After - Ground Level Deck, Paver Patio, and Covered Pergola!

What happens here

The area designated for the paver patio is excavated and prepared. A Toro Dingo TX 1000 compact utility loader (mini skid steer) is used to dig out the soil, creating a level base for the patio. Workers use shovels and wheelbarrows to manage and remove excess dirt. The ground is then roughly graded to ensure proper drainage and an even foundation.

Goal: Excavate and roughly grade the area for the paver patio.
