What happens here
This step covers the active installation of the pavers. Workers are shown preparing the screed layer, then carefully placing the multi-toned rectangular pavers in a herringbone pattern across the main patio area. They use a rubber mallet (with an orange head) to gently tap each paver firmly into the screed bed, ensuring a tight fit and level surface. A long orange level is utilized for frequent checks of surface consistency. Simultaneously, the charcoal fullnose pavers are installed to define the pool coping and create an elongated, continuous landing/step along the house, providing a contrasting border and functional walkway. The video captures the meticulous effort involved in creating both the intricate herringbone pattern and the clean, defined edges with the fullnose pavers.
Goal: Install both the main patio pavers in a herringbone pattern and the charcoal fullnose pavers for coping and landing.
