This is NOT a Typical Tear out

What happens here

Begin by assessing the existing landscape around the stoop. Remove any remaining landscape blocks, edging, or previous rock/gravel beds. In this case, existing river rock and normal edging were removed, with some boulder edging around a bush also needing attention.

Goal: Clear surrounding landscape elements to expose the stoop structure.

Tools and materials

  • Rake — Spreading and leveling soil/gravel
  • Shovel — Digging and moving soil/gravel
  • Wheelbarrow Jackson — Transporting removed landscaping materials
