Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by marking the desired outer dimensions of the hardscape patio using red spray paint. Ensure the marked area is approximately one foot larger than the intended patio size to accommodate sufficient base material for edge support. The video shows the host applying red spray paint to the ground to outline the future patio, emphasizing the importance of a wider excavation for a stable edge. Simultaneously, existing vinyl siding is removed from the house wall in the area where the patio and an outdoor kitchen will be built.

Goal: Outline the patio dimensions and prepare the adjacent house wall.
