What happens here
With the base prepared, begin laying the patio pavers according to your design. Start in a corner or along a prominent edge, working outward. Place each paver carefully, ensuring tight joints and a consistent pattern. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap pavers into place and embed them into the leveling sand. Regularly check for levelness and adjust as needed. Once all pavers are laid, install a sturdy edging system (plastic or metal) around the perimeter to hold them in place. Finally, sweep polymeric sand into the paver joints and activate it with water according to the manufacturer's instructions. This sand hardens to lock the pavers together and inhibits weed growth.
Goal: Lay and secure the patio pavers to create the finished surface.
