My favorite project of 2022 is complete. 

What happens here

The video begins with an expansive view of the newly completed outdoor patio, highlighting the significant scale and intricate design. The main area features a bold checkerboard pattern created using large rectangular pavers in alternating shades of black and white, with some grey variations. The narrator expresses pride in the meticulous work and precision required for the installation, particularly in avoiding 'sliver cuts' around key areas.

Goal: Present the extensive, finished outdoor patio space and its primary checkerboard paver design.

Tools and materials

  • Base Material — Providing a stable, well-draining foundation for the paver installation
  • Leveling Sand — Creating a perfectly flat and even setting bed for the pavers
  • Polymeric Sand — Filling the joints between pavers to lock them in place and inhibit weed growth
  • Rectangular Pavers — Creating the dark squares of the checkerboard pattern
