So much greyscale beauty

What happens here

The main field of the patio consists of various grey-toned pavers laid in different patterns (e.g., large square, rectangle) to create a dynamic visual effect, as seen throughout the video, especially 0:00-0:08 and 0:23-0:28. Start laying pavers from a fixed edge or a prominent feature (like the fire pit) outwards. Place pavers directly onto the screeded sand, ensuring tight joints and consistent alignment. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into the sand bed, setting its height. The video highlights 'multiple grey tones and patterns,' suggesting a deliberate mix of different paver types and installation layouts.

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