Install and Compact the Base Layer

What happens here

After excavation, spread a layer of crushed stone or paver base over the entire area. Use a rake to evenly distribute the gravel. Once distributed, use a plate compactor to thoroughly compact the gravel, ensuring a stable and dense sub-base. It is often recommended to add the base material in layers (e.g., 2-4 inches at a time) and compact each layer individually for optimal results.

Goal: Create a stable and compacted sub-base for the patio
