THIS is a sweet one

What happens here

The initial phase of the backyard renovation is shown, starting with the area where an old deck previously stood. The groundwork for the new deck is in progress, with visible timber framing. The extensive backyard space is also being prepared for a large patio, which includes significant earth moving and leveling, indicated by piles of earth and the presence of heavy machinery like a skid steer loader. The base for the main patio area, consisting of loose gravel and a concrete-like sub-base, is already laid out.

Goal: Prepare the site for new deck and patio construction.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Base — Providing a stable, level sub-base for the patio pavers
  • Gravel — Part of the sub-base for the patio
  • Skid Steer Loader — Earth moving, leveling, and material transport
  • Timber Framing — Constructing the foundation and structure of the new deck
