What happens here

The large Rosetta blocks are carefully placed on the prepared gravel base. A mini excavator equipped with a block clamp is used to lift and position each block. Workers guide the blocks into place, ensuring they are properly aligned and level. Due to the tight working conditions under the deck, precise maneuvering of the excavator is essential. Shims and fine adjustments are made as needed to maintain perfect alignment and ensure a secure fit for each block.

Goal: Install the initial row of Rosetta blocks
