Plan Layout and Prepare Site Base

What happens here

Before any physical work begins, thorough planning is essential for a large-scale project like this. This includes surveying the area, designing the layout of the patio, pool surround, retaining walls, and fire pit, and calculating material quantities. Site preparation involves excavating the area to the required depth, ensuring proper drainage, and laying down a stable sub-base. Although not explicitly shown, the presence of completed walls and prepared ground indicates these preliminary steps were undertaken.

Goal: Establish a detailed design and prepare a stable, well-drained foundation for all structures.
