What happens here
The most visually striking part of the project is the creation of the decorative firepit "paver rug" design. This step involves careful layout and installation of a circular pattern in the center of the patio. The design features an inner circular section composed of small, rectangular Metoni pavers laid in a herringbone pattern. Surrounding this is a concentric ring of hexagonal Unilock Hexa pavers, artfully arranged in varying shades of gray and white to create a gradient effect. A distinct dark paver border further defines the entire circular motif, separating it from the main patio pavers. This intricate pattern requires precise measurements, meticulous cutting, and careful placement of each paver to achieve the desired aesthetic and fit seamlessly within the overall patio.
Goal: Install the intricate circular paver design to highlight the firepit area.
