Lay and Level 2-inch Crushed Stone Base

What happens here

Once the geo-textile fabric is in place, a thick layer of large 2-inch crushed stone is spread over it. The narrator refers to this as 'much, much larger stone' than typically used, highlighting its purpose for the 'immediate base' in this deep excavation. The substantial size of this aggregate is critical for providing significant structural integrity and excellent drainage for the patio foundation, particularly vital when dealing with deep fills or previously disturbed ground. Workers in the video are seen using rakes and other tools to distribute and roughly level this stone layer.

Goal: Create the primary load-bearing and drainage layer
