Incredible Deck With Built in Hot Tub - Full Backyard Makeover Time Lapse
What happens here
The initial phase involves clearing the ground and establishing the foundational support for the deck. Workers are seen using shovels to prepare the soil and placing green-capped concrete pier blocks and pre-cast concrete footings around the perimeter of the future deck area. This ensures a stable and level base for the entire structure.
Goal: Establish a stable and level foundation for the multi-level deck.
