What happens here
A central feature of the patio is a circular fire pit. This typically involves placing a pre-fabricated fire pit ring or constructing one from fire-rated blocks. Around the fire pit, a distinct circular pattern is created using smaller, often cobblestone-style pavers (like the 'Borealis' type mentioned). These pavers are carefully laid in concentric circles, cut to fit the curve, and tapped into the screeded sand bed to ensure a level and secure installation. The intricate circular design requires precise cutting and careful placement.
Goal: Install the fire pit and the surrounding circular paver pattern.
