What happens here
Prepare the area designated for the outdoor fire pit. This involves leveling the ground, spreading a layer of gravel, and compacting it thoroughly using a plate compactor to create a solid and stable base. Use rebar rods as guides to ensure the gravel layer is uniform and level. This groundwork is crucial for the stability and longevity of the paving stones that will be laid next.
Goal: Create a level and durable gravel base for the fire pit paving stones
