What happens here

Prepare the backyard site by removing any existing vegetation, debris, or old structures. Mark out the precise locations for the in-ground pool, patio areas, and other features using string lines and spray paint according to your design. Conduct necessary excavation for the pool, ensuring the hole is properly sized and leveled. Additionally, excavate for the patio base, ensuring a slight slope for effective drainage away from the house and any structures.

Goal: Clear the site and perform excavation for the pool and patio.
