Phase 2: under-deck hot tub. #hardscape #paverpatio
What happens here
The video transitions to display the prepared area directly beneath the existing elevated deck, intended for a hot tub and additional outdoor living space. Similar to the walkway, this section has been fully excavated and features a robust, compacted gravel base. A plate compactor is visible in this area, suggesting recent or ongoing compaction work. The speaker highlights the ample overhead clearance, making it an ideal spot for a hot tub and potentially a wall-mounted television, emphasizing the functionality of this new expansion.
Goal: Prepare the sub-base for the new paver pad under the deck.
