What happens here
With the retaining wall in place, the next stage involves preparing the ground for the pavers. This typically includes compacting the subgrade, laying down a layer of crushed stone (paver base), and then a layer of leveling sand. Workers are shown actively laying large format pavers, carefully placing them onto the prepared base. The goal is to create a seamless, level, and durable patio surface. This new area connects to the existing pool deck, effectively expanding the outdoor living space.
Goal: Create a level and durable patio surface for expanded outdoor living.
