What happens here
As seen from 0:00-0:08, the central feature of this patio is a fire pit surrounded by intricate circular paver patterns. Begin by constructing the fire pit using fire-rated block or a pre-fabricated kit. Then, using a string and stake as a compass, lay the outermost circular border of pavers (often a soldier course) directly onto the screeded sand. Progress inwards, laying different paver sizes and patterns (like the herringbone pattern visible) to create visual interest. Precise cuts will be needed for the curved sections.
Goal: Construct the fire pit and lay the circular paver patterns around it.
