Excavate for Concrete Pad Foundation

What happens here

Mark out the precise location and dimensions for the concrete pad that will serve as the foundation for the decorative feature. Use a small excavator (skid steer with a bucket attachment) to dig out the designated area, removing existing soil and debris. Ensure the excavation is deep enough to accommodate the concrete pad, typically allowing for a few inches of gravel base, the concrete thickness, and space for any necessary rebar. Refine the edges and bottom of the pit with hand tools like shovels to ensure a clean, level base.

Goal: Create a stable pit for the concrete foundation.
