What happens here

After cutting, transport the prepared coping pavers to the pool area. This involves carefully carrying the heavy pavers. Next, begin placing the pavers around the edge of the pool. Apply a bed of mortar or specialized adhesive to the underlying surface where each paver will be set. Carefully position each paver, ensuring it aligns with previous pieces and the desired perimeter line. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the pavers into place, settling them firmly into the mortar bed. The video shows workers applying what appears to be mortar from a bucket and then carefully setting the pavers, aligning them with a string line and a level.

Goal: Securely and accurately install the cut coping pavers around the pool.
