What happens here
The process begins with a worker carefully lifting a large, rectangular patio slab. The worker then carries the slab to the installation area and gently lowers it into its designated position on a pre-prepared, level granular base. This initial placement involves aligning one edge of the new slab with an already laid slab to maintain a consistent pattern and ensure proper joint spacing. The worker positions the slab by hand before any fine adjustments are made.
Goal: Place patio slabs onto the prepared base with initial alignment.
