SO satisfying but SO much work. #hardscape @firestonelandscaping
What happens here
The initial phase involves preparing the foundation and laying the perimeter pavers that will frame the circular design. Workers are seen using a wet saw to make precise cuts on rectangular and square pavers, ensuring straight and accurate edges for the main walkway leading up to and around the future circular feature. This step assumes a properly prepared base of compacted crushed stone and a leveled sand bedding layer, crucial for the longevity and stability of the paver installation.
Goal: Establish the outer boundaries and main approach to the circular paver area.
