What happens here
Workers begin by spreading 'Class 5' aggregate (likely gravel or crushed stone used as a sub-base) across the patio area. They use a wooden plank and metal screed rails to initially level the aggregate. Following this, a plate compactor is used to compact the Class 5 aggregate, ensuring a stable and dense foundation for the patio. This process is repeated to achieve the desired elevation and compaction.
Goal: Create a stable and level compacted sub-base for the patio.
