Excavation Depth

[machtucker]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a digger coming next week and I'm going to excavate the soil so I can complete the gravel patio area and clay paver path etc. I have a rotating laser level which I can use to initially check dig depth etc. What's the best way of making sure I get the correct dig depth? I'm guessing it's just to keep checking it with the staff etc.

 

Then I think I'll put in a few stakes to the the finish height depth as datum pegs so I can easily set up string lines to gauge subbase depth etc.

 

Cheers,
