What happens here
Once the base is prepared, begin laying the main field pavers. Start in a corner, typically against a fixed structure like the house, and work outwards. Place each paver gently onto the bedding sand, maintaining consistent joint spacing as specified by the paver manufacturer or desired aesthetic. Use a rubber mallet to tap each paver firmly into place, ensuring it is seated properly and level with its neighbors. Continuously check for levelness across multiple pavers with a long level. The video shows workers efficiently laying these large format pavers across the patio area (e.g., 0:05-0:06, 0:38-0:40).
Goal: Install the primary paver surface of the patio
