What happens here
After the initial demolition, the crew works on grading the ground for the new patio. This involves using the mini excavator to remove remaining soil and debris, followed by manual raking and leveling. A plate compactor is used to compact the sub-base, and screeding bars are laid out to ensure a uniform and level surface for the paver base.
Goal: Prepare a level and compacted base for the new patio.
