Patio Base Preparation and Compaction

What happens here

After the retaining wall is complete, the area for the patio is prepared. The existing soil is leveled and compacted to create a stable sub-base. A layer of crushed stone or gravel is spread over the sub-base and meticulously leveled using screed rails (metal pipes). The entire area is then compacted using a plate compactor to create a solid, even foundation for the pavers. This process ensures proper drainage and prevents future settling of the patio.

Goal: Create a stable and level sub-base and base layer for the patio.
