What happens here
The site for the new patio has been fully excavated and prepared. This involves digging out the existing ground to the required depth and then installing a compacted base layer, typically of crushed stone or gravel. The speaker mentions that the area has been "dug everything out" and "based everything," which are critical initial steps for ensuring a stable foundation for the patio.
Goal: Prepare the ground and install a stable base for the patio
Tools and materials
- Excavator/Skid Steer Creekside — Digging and moving large quantities of earth
- Landscape Fabric — Separating the sub-base from the native soil to prevent mixing and promote drainage
- Plate Compactor — Compacting the base material to create a solid foundation
- Crushed Stone/Gravel — Creating the compacted sub-base and base layers for the patio
