Step 6 · Lay Subsequent Rows of Pavers

Lay subsequent rows of pavers, staggering the joints between pavers by at least one-third of a paver's length. This 'running bond' or 'offset' pattern provides structural integrity. Ensure each paver is level and firmly seated in the sand. Check for alignment with the previous row and maintain consistent joint spacing.
