What happens here
A significant portion of the pathway is being constructed using large format pavers. These pavers are laid over a prepared base of compacted gravel and sand, creating a durable and visually appealing walkway. The pattern appears to be a mixed-size modular design, providing a contemporary look. The path extends from the main patio area, connecting different zones of the backyard, including the base of the stone steps and leading towards the driveway.
Goal: Install paver pathways connecting various landscape features
Tools and materials

- String Line and Stakes — Maintaining straight lines and proper alignment
- Wheelbarrow — Transporting materials like sand and gravel
- Bedding Sand — Creating a level bed for pavers to sit on
- Crushed Gravel — Creating the sub-base for pavers
- Edge Restraints — Securing the edges of the paver walkway
- Large Format Pavers — Constructing the walkway surface
- Polymeric Sand — Filling paver joints to prevent weed growth and insect infestation (applied after pavers are laid)
