What happens here

Lay the large format paver slabs for the lower patio area, following the same method as the upper patio. Spread a layer of bedding sand over the compacted gravel base, screeding it to a uniform thickness. Carefully place each paver, ensuring consistent joint spacing and tapping them into place with a rubber mallet. Continually check for level and alignment to maintain the aesthetic and functional integrity of the patio. This step is implied to follow the lower patio base preparation.

Goal: Complete the laying of pavers for the lower patio.
