Starting Our BIGGEST Patio Ever! INSANE BACKYARD Pt 13

What happens here

The initial courses of pavers are carefully laid directly adjacent to the house, forming a foundational pathway. A specific 'basketweave' or 'subway switch' pattern is employed for the corner section, providing a distinctive visual element. To ensure accuracy, a large collapsible square tool is utilized to maintain perfect 90-degree angles and squareness relative to the house. Additionally, a string line is stretched across the area to act as a visual guide, helping the crew lay pavers in a consistently straight line.

Goal: The first courses of pavers are laid against the house in a straight line, incorporating a basketweave pattern for a corner, ensuring squareness with guide tools.
