What happens here
Lay darker, contrasting pavers (as seen in the video's border) to create distinct accent rings or borders around the main patio and the fire pit area. Once these accent pavers are in place, mark the exact locations for the integrated paver lights, often referred to as 'bolted rubies' or 'drilled-in paver lights' as mentioned. Using a appropriate drill bit (e.g., core drill bit), carefully drill holes into the accent pavers for the lights. Insert the paver lights into these drilled holes, ensuring they sit flush with the paver surface. The video provides a close-up of these lights being integrated into the border.
Goal: Define patio areas with accent pavers and embed lighting fixtures
