What happens here
The initial and crucial step in building a stable patio involves preparing the sub-base. A Kubota skid-steer loader is employed to efficiently deliver and dump a large volume of gravel onto the designated patio area, which is situated adjacent to a pool. Following the mechanical distribution by the loader, workers equipped with rakes manually spread and level the gravel across the surface. This process is essential to achieve a uniform layer of gravel that reaches the specified 'patio height', ensuring a consistent and robust foundation for subsequent paving or finishing layers. This careful spreading contributes to the long-term stability and evenness of the patio surface.
Goal: Create a level and compacted gravel sub-base for the patio
