What happens here

Transport the 'road mix' (crushed stone and sand aggregate) from the delivery pile to the pathway area using the mini skid steer. Carefully dump and spread the material, aiming for an initial uniform layer across the entire width and length of the pathway. The 'road mix' is specifically chosen for its excellent compaction properties, which will form the strong foundation for the pavers. Use a rake to spread the material evenly, particularly in tighter areas or near retaining walls.

Goal: Haul and distribute a layer of 'road mix' (crushed stone with fines) over the leveled ground, ensuring uniform coverage and thickness.

What they say

Hide

way, hopefully. So, we got delivered 17 yards of road mix. Road mix is important because roadm compacts really well, which you have to get a compactor as well. What it does is it creates a nice strong foundation. So, any paver that we put on top, when the water starts soaking up into the soil, it won't start sinking all your rock or or your pavers down into that mud. it'll stay afloat and keeping us all afloat. Uh 17 yards. I think I paid 275 bucks with delivery fee, which is like 90 bucks. So, not terrible. I figured it would be a smarter way for me to actually have a solid path. There's a huge divot in there, so this mini skid ends up tilting over. So, I'll start basically creating a safe path so I can get on the other side of the house.
