What happens here
During the excavation phase, it is common practice to install or relocate utility lines. The narrator explicitly mentions that 'utilities [are] trenched in.' This involves digging narrow trenches to lay pipes for irrigation, electrical conduits for lighting, or drainage systems, ensuring they are properly positioned and protected beneath the future hardscape. This critical step prevents interference with the paving process and allows for future access if needed.
Goal: Install or relocate necessary utility lines beneath the hardscape area.
