What happens here
After the base is prepared and compacted, the workers proceed to lay the patio pavers and any accompanying retaining wall blocks. This involves carefully placing each paver onto a thin layer of bedding sand (not explicitly shown but standard practice), ensuring it is level and correctly spaced. The process requires attention to detail to achieve a uniform and aesthetically pleasing final surface. Workers are seen moving blocks into position and adjusting them.
Goal: Install the patio pavers and any accompanying retaining wall or edging to complete the patio surface.
