Site Preparation and Excavation

What happens here

The first step in building a brick patio is to prepare the site. This involves accurately marking the perimeter of the desired patio area. Once marked, use a shovel to excavate the existing grass, topsoil, and any other debris to the required depth. The excavated material can be moved using a wheelbarrow. The depth of excavation should account for the thickness of the gravel base, sand bed, and the bricks themselves.

Goal: Clear and excavate the patio area to the proper depth
