What happens here
Begin laying the pavers following the established 45-degree string lines. Place each paver firmly onto the bedding sand, ensuring a consistent joint width. For the areas where the diagonal pattern meets the straight edges of the house, pool, or perimeter, pavers will need to be precisely cut. This requires a specialized paver saw or wet saw to achieve clean, accurate cuts that maintain the overall aesthetic.
Goal: Install pavers in the 45-degree pattern, making necessary cuts for a precise fit.
