What happens here
With the base prepared, the paver layout is marked. A string line is used to outline the circular and radial patterns of the patio. Specific attention is given to ensuring positive pitch (slope) away from the house and deck to facilitate water drainage. The video highlights a two-inch pitch from the deck corner to another corner, indicating precise leveling requirements to prevent flat spots where water could collect.
Goal: Mark the paver layout and establish proper drainage pitch.
