this was not ideal, but it was the right thing to do given the situation. #hardscape

What happens here

This video describes the unique and extensive excavation and compaction required for a 'triple deep patio foundation' on a new build. Due to the presence of recently disturbed and uncompacted 'virgin soil' brought in by an excavator, a standard shallow patio foundation would be susceptible to settling and sinking. The project involves digging significantly deeper than usual to reach a stable subgrade or to allow for thorough compaction of the virgin soil, ensuring a durable and level patio over time. This approach mitigates potential future structural issues by addressing soil settlement proactively.
