This is my 18x33 oval agp project I'm working on. I dug 60% with a skid loader and dug out the other 40% by hand. I'm doing the final leveling now. This is slow a going process the ground is mostly clay.

I thought I had it level with the skid loader. But once I put the level down on the ground I was at least 5" off on the side closer to the house. I've been a shoveling fool. I dug the first 12" by hand then I hit clay. I'm in the process of the final leveling now. I used my water level and set all the patio stones for the uprights now I'm working off of the patio stones. I should be done leveling tomorrow.

But you're doing it right. An extra day or two making sure it's level-level-level will save you ten times that much work if it's not.

Anybody know any decent deck planning website's?
