If you plan to use pavers, a lot of the excavating is already done for you due to the flower bed. Here's a link with more information:

Hi, we just put in a patio in the Fall. You might want to look at my post....https://karupp-did.net/pour-a-cement-pad-diy/. In the patio post I describe:
-how to order concrete
-how much concrete mix you would need to order
-what materials you will need to use
-pics of the process of pouring the cement.
The area was prepped before we poured the concrete with crush and run and stone aggregate and to figure out how we did that you might want to look at the previous post https://karupp-did.net/building-a-retaining-wall/. even though you probably won't need the retaining wall, it will give you the information needed to prep the area before pouring cement. Good luck!
