What happens here

Carefully begin laying the pavers on the screeded sand bed, following your predetermined design pattern. For multi-level patios, work on one level at a time, starting from a fixed edge such as the house foundation, a retaining wall, or a straight starting line. Maintain consistent spacing between pavers; paver spacers can be used if desired, though often the natural spacing is preferred. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into place, ensuring it is firmly seated and level with its neighbors. Cut pavers as needed to fit edges, curves, or around obstacles using a paver saw or splitter. The video shows workers on their knees, meticulously laying pavers in various sections of the patio.

Goal: Precisely lay all pavers according to the design plan, ensuring they are level and properly spaced.
