What happens here
With the obstacles cleared, the site needs to be properly prepared. This involves leveling the ground, addressing drainage issues caused by the water main break, and potentially laying down a gravel or compacted aggregate base for the new structure's foundation. This ensures a stable and dry base for the next construction phases.
Goal: Create a stable and level base for the new outdoor living space.
Tools and materials
- Leveling Tools — Ensuring a flat and level surface
- Plate Compactor — Compacting the ground or aggregate base
- Rake — Leveling and spreading materials
- Shovel — Moving soil and aggregate
- Gravel or Crushed Stone Local Quarry — Creating a stable base layer
