    After preparing the forms, lay a base layer of Quikrete All-Purpose Gravel inside the framed area. Spread the gravel evenly across the entire surface. Use a tamper tool to compact the gravel thoroughly. This compacted gravel base helps prevent erosion and provides a stable foundation for the concrete slab.
