What happens here
Transport the 3/8-inch aggregate gravel (which has sharp, interlocking corners for better compaction) to the steps. For this project, a mini skid steer from Tates Rents is used to efficiently move large quantities of gravel. Carefully dump or shovel the gravel into each step frame, ensuring an even distribution. Use a shovel or rake to spread the gravel evenly across the surface of each step. Gravity will help distribute the gravel down the slope, but manual spreading is still necessary.
Goal: Fill each step frame with stable aggregate gravel
