Site Assessment and Step Height Planning

we find BURIED Utilities the WRONG way!
What happens here
Assess the existing site conditions, including an old construction road that needs to be restored into a lawn, and identify low spots and rocky areas. The team discusses moving a pine tree stump and the grading required. It's noted that the area is very rocky, with a significant amount of rock underneath the topsoil. The existing deck's height is measured to determine the appropriate rise for new stone steps. The goal is to match the step-down distance from the existing deck to the first stone step, then to subsequent stone steps, and finally to the patio, ensuring uniform and safe transitions. This requires careful reverse engineering of the step heights.
Goal: Evaluate terrain, rock presence, and plan step dimensions
Tools and materials
- Measuring Tape — Measuring step heights and overall dimensions
- Orange Spray Paint — Marking areas for excavation and grade changes
- Pine Tree Stump N/A — Removal from the work area
