Step 1 · Excavate Area

Using a shovel and tape measure, mark out a rectangular area at the base of the deck stairs. The dimensions should be approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet long. Excavate this area to a depth of at least 6 inches to allow for the concrete pad and a gravel base for drainage and stability. Ensure the excavated area is level.
