So much greyscale beauty

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.

Tools and materials

  • Paver Cutter or Wet Saw Husqvarna — Making precise cuts for curved and angled pavers
  • Rubber Mallet — Gently tapping pavers into place
  • Safety Glasses and Gloves — Protecting eyes and hands during cutting and installation
  • Pavers — Forming the circular patterns around the fire pit
