What happens here

The project begins with significant site preparation. The existing asphalt driveway has been completely removed, and the area is excavated to a substantial depth to accommodate the new paver system, which needs to support vehicular traffic. A robust geotextile fabric is laid over the excavated soil to act as a separation layer and provide additional stability for the base material. Heavy machinery, including an excavator and a skid steer, are used for the initial digging and material handling.

Goal: Excavate the driveway area and install a geotextile fabric foundation
