What happens here
Begin laying the main field pavers (e.g., Unilock Beacon Hill, as mentioned in the video) on the prepared sand base, following the chosen pattern, such as the square/rectangular layout shown in the video. Next, construct the fire pit using modular blocks, ensuring a level and stable base. Once the fire pit structure is complete, lay the internal pavers for the fire pit seating area. The video shows this area featuring a distinctive herringbone pattern using a different paver type, such as Unilock Mattoni, to create visual contrast and interest.
Goal: Install the primary patio pavers and the fire pit structure with its internal paver pattern
