What happens here

With the base layer complete and soil issues addressed, the final step for hardscape preparation is to re-mark the entire circular layout with spray paint. This ensures the boundaries are clear for the upcoming paver installation. Double-check all measurements using the measuring tape and string from the central pond point. This meticulous re-marking guarantees that the intricate circular design, including the main walkway and patio sections, will be laid out accurately, maintaining the planned aesthetics and functionality of the outdoor living space.

Goal: Confirm and precisely mark the final hardscape boundaries before paver installation.

Tools and materials

  • Measuring Tape — Verifying dimensions and radii
  • Metal Stake or Rod — Anchoring the string at the center point
  • Orange Spray Paint Rust-Oleum — Final marking of hardscape boundaries
  • String — Maintaining precise circular arcs

geog grid in there as well. So, I'm very confident moving forward that this thing is ready to go. uh if it wasn't solid today after letting that type S set up, we were going to be digging out everything and uh starting fresh. So, I'm glad that it did stabilize over the weekend and uh we're pretty much good to go here. So, crisis averted. Uh did take some extra time here, but uh really worked out well. So, we got to finish up some of this uh some of this uh base to our elevation and then then we'll start spraying everything out for all of our perimeters. And you'll see the shape of this patio coming together. And we'll just make sure that uh we have everything dug out to the proper area. And you know, none of our our radiuses are getting cut off or anything. So, should be good to go. We'll see. We'll keep you updated. But, uh I think we're pretty good now. >> What are you doing? >> I'm just getting my estimated spot here. Great. >> That was scientific. All right. So, uh, we've got a 20 27 ft radius circle, 54 ft total. So, uh, went a little bit beyond that just to make sure that we've got [music] plenty of space. And now just going to spray this out. All right. Looks like we might need a little bit more sewing there. >> Heat. Heat. [music] >> We got ourh perimeter sprayed out. Everything looks really good. We've got uh just a couple areas we need to bring up the edges a tiny bit more. Other than that, the layout worked. Our center point worked. It's still going to be really tricky to lay pavers here, but it's coming together and uh I'm really happy about that. So, that's going to be it for this video. Next one, we're going to jump on the deck. We're doing decking. We're doing uh a lot of really cool stuff with that. Changed up the design once again. Just add some more detail. So, uh, make sure you hit subscribe, stay tuned, and until next time, this has been Premiere Outdoor Living. Oh, I'm out of breath. Too much running around, hunched over. Ah, I'm getting old. [laughter] There you go.
