Easiest Patio Pavers You'll Ever Install!

What happens here

The project begins with marking out the intended area for the patio. Use a tape measure to define a 16-foot by 25-foot rectangle. Secure the corners with metal stakes and connect them with string lines to create a precise boundary. Once the lines are established, use marking spray paint to clearly outline the perimeter of the patio on the ground. This visual guide will assist in the excavation process.

Goal: Precisely define the 16ft x 25ft patio dimensions.
