What happens here
The worker carefully lifts a large, light-colored square paver and positions it onto the prepared gravel base. He places it next to the existing dark gray pavers and the light gray stone border, ensuring it is flush and properly aligned. He may gently tap it into place to seat it firmly (though a mallet is not visible in this short clip, it's common practice).
Goal: Lay the first new square paver on the prepared base
