What happens here
The video opens with workers actively engaged in various stages of the project. Some are placing pre-cut paver pieces, indicating that a prepared and compacted sub-base of gravel or crushed stone is already in place. Others are working on a curved wall structure, assembling blocks. A worker is seen using a tape measure to mark out patterns or boundaries for the paver layout, which predominantly features a herringbone design. This initial phase involves ensuring the foundation is stable and accurate layout is established.
Goal: Establish a stable base and start laying the main paver pattern.
