Install Pavers and Create Curved Borders
At 6:21 in
Paver Patio - Laying BIG SLABS!
What happens here
Begin laying the main field pavers for the patio, following the prepared sub-base. For complex curved borders, create a custom jig using a small piece of lumber and metal brackets. This jig ensures consistent spacing and angle when laying border pavers against the concrete pool edge. Use the jig to mark or guide the placement of the pavers, then use a rubber mallet to firmly set them in place. For cutting pavers to fit the curves, use a cut-off saw (wet saw) to achieve clean, precise edges. Lay the border pavers first, then fill in the field pavers, adjusting as needed to maintain the desired pattern and alignment.
Goal: Lay the main patio pavers and intricate curved borders
