What happens here

The first step involves preparing the ground for the paver walkway. This includes spreading a base layer of gravel over the designated path area using a compact utility loader with a bucket attachment, followed by leveling the gravel with a landscape rake. The pathway's desired outline is then clearly marked on the ground using orange spray paint to guide the subsequent installation steps.

Goal: Create a level and well-defined base for the pavers
