What happens here
Continue laying pavers in a straight line, extending from the initial paver. Each subsequent paver should be placed edge-to-edge, maintaining a consistent small gap for jointing sand later. Carefully align each paver to ensure a straight line and uniform appearance. After placing each paver, use the rubber mallet to gently tap it down, ensuring it is level with its adjacent pavers and firmly settled into the gravel base. Periodically check the alignment and level with a straight edge and level tool.
Goal: Extend the walkway in a consistent straight line
