1. 1:28–2:20 Dig Trench and Level First Base From Landscape Steps, Step 2: Excavate for First Step

   Start at the lowest point of the slope. Dig a trench along the marked line, ensuring it's wide and deep enough to accommodate the first course of landscape timbers and a layer of paver base. Once the trench is dug, pour a layer of paver base into the trench and spread it evenly. Use a long level to ensure the paver base is perfectly level from side to side and along its length. Make minor adjustments by pulling material with a shovel or adding more paver base as needed. This first level needs to be perfectly flat and level as it will serve as the reference for all subsequent layers.
