What happens here

After initial demolition, use a stump grinder to remove the remaining tree stumps below ground level. This prepares the soil for subsequent leveling and construction. Following this, use a mini skid steer loader to level the ground, spread road mix as a base, and remove any remaining debris or old concrete pavers. Finally, lay paver sand for precise leveling before installing the new patio pavers. Compact the road mix with a tamper for a stable foundation.

Goal: Create a level and stable base for the new patio pavers.

It looks like a classic DIY paving job. Concrete work where someone simply poured concrete to make a walkway. I won't say I hate it, but I'm not thrilled about it either . A four with a minus for effort. That would be painful. OK. Was it an emergency landing or something? Shavtay-Bovtay— our next Avenger, ready to assemble, carrying a pile of road mix. This material will help compact everything so that we have a solid foundation so that the paving stones don't sink, and at the same time it will help with water drainage. Are
