275 sq ft irregular brick patio on sandy soil. Bringing 1.5 yards washed sand for 1.5-inch base. Yard slopes, front drains to back. Knows 1/4 inch per foot slope but can't calculate cut/fill at various points. Stoop alignment works at starting point.
1.5 inches over 275 sq ft = 1.27 cubic yards. 1.5 yards ordered is correct.
Minimum dig: 5.5 inches (4" brick + 1.5" sand). Extra sand for joint sweeping. Professional advice carries "fuss factor markup" on small jobs—DIY with patience works.
