What happens here
Adjacent to the main patio, another section is installed using a different paver style, referred to as 'diamond pavers.' These pavers are laid in a pattern that creates a diamond visual effect, adding another layer of texture and design complexity to the patio. Additionally, a new step landing and steps are constructed using large 'blue slabs' (likely large format pavers). These steps are precisely installed, often with adhesive, to provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing transition from the house to the patio levels. The construction of the steps involves careful measurement and cutting to ensure a uniform rise and run for safe use.
Goal: Install additional paver areas with diamond patterns and construct step landings and stairs.
Tools and materials
- Diamond Pavers — Creating a specific pattern in an adjacent patio section
- Large Slab Pavers — Constructing the step landing and stairs
- Level — Ensuring accuracy in step construction and paver laying
- Paver Cutter / Wet Saw — Cutting pavers and slabs to fit sizes and angles for the steps and pattern
- Rubber Mallet — Adjusting and seating pavers/slabs
- Construction Adhesive — Securing step risers and treads for added stability
- Paver Sand — Bedding layer for the diamond pavers and base for slabs
