What happens here

With the decorative grid system firmly in place, the next step involves filling the defined sections to complete the geometric pattern. The video shows workers installing smaller, light-colored square pavers directly into the spaces created by the black grid. This process requires careful placement to ensure a snug fit and consistent spacing. Once all the infill pavers are set, the perimeter of the patio is typically finished with border pavers or a specialized edging system. This edging provides a clean, defined look and, more importantly, helps to contain the entire paver system, preventing shifting or spreading over time. Finally, polymeric sand can be swept into all the joints between the pavers and the grid system, then activated with water, to create a durable, weed-inhibiting, and ant-resistant joint.

Goal: Complete the decorative paver pattern and secure the patio edges
