Phase 2: under-deck hot tub. #hardscape #paverpatio

What happens here

The video showcases the initial phase of 'Phase 2' by displaying a section designated for a new walkway. This area has already been excavated and features a compacted gravel base, indicating that the ground has been cleared and prepared. The base extends from the existing patio towards the deck stairs, forming a clear path. This step visually confirms that the precise dimensions of the walkway have been marked out, and the soil has been excavated to the appropriate depth to accommodate the paver system, including the necessary gravel sub-base.

Goal: Prepare the sub-base for the new paver walkway section.
