Demolish Existing Patio

What happens here

Begin by systematically breaking apart and removing all elements of the existing brick patio. This includes lifting and stacking the bricks, and potentially removing any underlying bedding material. The goal is to clear the entire area where the new deck will be built, leaving a bare earth surface. Workers are seen using hand tools to pry up bricks and a small, tracked machine to move debris.

Goal: The initial step involves the complete demolition and removal of an existing brick patio structure to clear the area for the new deck construction. This prepares the footprint for excavation and new foundations.
