excavation to stone grading
What happens here
The video begins by stating that the excavation is complete and the underlying soil (subgrade) has been compacted. This initial preparation is crucial to ensure a stable foundation for the paver system, preventing settling and shifting over time. It involves digging out the area to the required depth and then using compaction equipment to firmly press down the exposed soil.
Goal: Create a stable, well-compacted foundation for the paver base.
