UNBELIEVABLE Backyard MAKEOVER! Boring Backyard Turned Into Decked Out Paradise!
What happens here
The project begins with site preparation, which involves clearing the existing landscape and digging holes for the structural foundation. Helical piles, also known as screw piles, are then installed into the ground using specialized equipment to provide stable support for the new deck and covered patio structure. This step also includes laying out and securing initial pressure-treated lumber for the ground-level framing.
Goal: Establish a stable foundation and initial framing for the outdoor living space.

- Circular Saw — Cutting lumber to size
- Helical Piles — Foundation for the deck and patio structure
- Measuring Tape — Accurate measurement for layout
- Mini Excavator — Digging and general site work
