What happens here

Begin by laying the main field of pavers. Ensure the base layer (typically compacted gravel and a leveling sand bed) is properly prepared and level. Start laying the dark grey rectangular pavers in the desired pattern, such as a herringbone pattern as shown in the video. Work from a fixed edge or a central point, ensuring consistent spacing and alignment. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into place, seating it firmly into the sand bed. Periodically check the pattern and levelness across the laid section.

Goal: Establish the primary paver pattern for the patio
