What happens here
This step involves preparing the ground and installing the forms for custom concrete paver patterns. Workers use a plate compactor to ensure a solid base for the concrete. Custom wooden forms, referred to as 'concrete fingers', are meticulously laid out and secured, defining the shape and size of the paver sections. These forms create intricate patterns, leaving deliberate gaps between each section, which will contribute to the aesthetic design of the patio. This meticulous formwork is crucial for achieving the desired final appearance and structural integrity of the concrete elements.
Goal: Prepare the ground and install intricate forms for custom concrete paver patterns.
