What happens here
Begin laying the main field pavers, such as the Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth, directly onto the screeded sand, following your design pattern. Start from a fixed edge, such as the house foundation or a long straight edge, and work outwards. Maintain consistent joint lines between pavers. Periodically check for level and adjust as necessary using a rubber mallet. For areas with intricate patterns like the Unilock Mattoni in a herringbone design for the dining area, lay these after the main field, carefully cutting any necessary pieces for borders (Basalt Copthorne) or transitions as shown in the video. Similarly, install the Unilock Artline pavers for the lounging zone. Use a paver splitter or wet saw for precise cuts. Remember to incorporate the Basalt Copthorne border details throughout the design.
Goal: Install all selected pavers and border materials according to the patio design and patterns.
