Site Excavation and Initial Grading

What happens here

Before any hardscaping can begin, the site requires extensive excavation and initial grading. The video shows a very muddy and uneven ground surface around the house, indicating significant earthmoving has already taken place. This step involves removing existing soil, vegetation, and any debris to achieve the rough contours and depths necessary for the new hardscape, creating a stable sub-grade.

Goal: Clear and roughly shape the land for the hardscaping foundation.
