Incredible Deck With Built in Hot Tub - Full Backyard Makeover Time Lapse
What happens here
Before the hot tub is installed, a solid and level base is prepared underneath its designated spot. This involves spreading a layer of gravel, then laying down a concrete slab. Workers are seen leveling the concrete with a screed and trowel. This pad provides a firm, stable, and flat surface for the hot tub, crucial for its operation and warranty.
Goal: Create a solid, level concrete foundation for the hot tub.
