Vlog 4 - Retaining Wall and Deck Board Installation
What happens here
After the drainage pipes are installed and buried, the area designated for the patio is prepared by laying down a layer of crushed gravel. This gravel is then leveled using screed pipes and a straight edge, ensuring a consistent and flat base. A plate compactor is used to compact the gravel, creating a firm and stable foundation for the paver patio.
Goal: Create a level and compact base for the patio
