What happens here

Moving further up the slope, preparation for the middle patio tier is underway. This involves laying another layer of geotextile fabric, spreading crushed stone, and compacting it, similar to the process for the lower patio. Retaining walls are also being built to define this middle section and will eventually hold back the soil from the upper part of the slope. A compactor is visible, indicating active base preparation.

Goal: Prepare the base layer and construct retaining walls for the next patio level.

Tools and materials

  • Plate Compactor — Compacting the crushed stone base for the middle tier
  • Shovels — Spreading crushed stone
  • Concrete Retaining Wall Blocks — Building the retaining walls for the middle tier
  • Crushed Stone/Gravel — Creating the compacted base layer for the patio
  • Geotextile Fabric — Weed barrier and base stabilization
