Correct. That will be fresh gravel/sand, which will then be compacted. The dirt guy said it's not a good idea to put the old stuff back in because it has lots of roots and vegetation in it that will decompose and cause voids under the slab. So will bring in the trucks . . .
I hired the same contractor as did my deck, since I was impressed with the crew.
