What happens here
With the base prepared, the main field pavers are now carefully laid onto the leveled sand setting bed. Start laying pavers from a fixed point, such as the edge of a house or a pre-established straight line, ensuring they are placed directly onto the sand without disturbing the bed. Follow the chosen pattern (e.g., running bond, basket weave, or a random pattern as shown in the video). Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into place, ensuring it is level with its neighbors and firmly seated. Periodically check the level of the laid pavers with a hand level to ensure consistency across the entire walkway.
Goal: Install the primary field pavers according to the chosen pattern
