What happens here
The process begins with the installation of large, rectangular pavers. Workers are seen placing these pavers directly onto a prepared aggregate base, which would typically have a layer of bedding sand screeded over it (though the screeding isn't explicitly shown). One worker uses a plate compactor to compact the newly laid pavers and the underlying base, ensuring stability and a level surface. This initial phase sets the foundation and general layout for the patio.
Goal: Establish the initial base and main paver sections.
