Laying the Main Patio Pavers

What happens here

After the retaining wall is in place and the sub-base is properly prepared, a layer of bedding sand (typically 1-inch thick) is spread evenly across the main patio area. The primary paver stones, appearing to be large rectangular or square units, are then laid in a chosen pattern (such as a running bond or basket weave, consistent with the visual) over the bedding sand. The narrator confirms that the "pad completely laid in," referring to the main patio surface. These pavers form the majority of the patio, setting the stage for the decorative firepit area. This step involves careful alignment and occasional cutting of pavers to fit the perimeter.

Goal: Install the primary paver stones for the main patio surface.
