What happens here
The video begins by showcasing a largely completed outdoor patio made of large paver stones, surrounding a covered swimming pool. The paver design includes accent borders of darker, smaller rectangular pavers. This initial phase involves preparing the sub-base, laying the pavers, and ensuring proper drainage around the pool and patio edges.
Goal: Establish the main hardscape foundation around the pool.
Tools and materials
- Accent Pavers — Creating decorative borders and design elements
- Bedding Sand — Creating a level and smooth surface for the pavers to rest on
- Compactor/Plate Tamper — Compacting the sub-base and bedding sand for stability
- Edge Restraints — Preventing the pavers from shifting or spreading over time
- Large Paver Stones — Creating the main surface of the patio
- Leveling Tools — Ensuring a perfectly flat and properly sloped patio surface
- Masonry Saw — Cutting pavers to fit around edges and obstacles
- Paver Base/Gravel — Providing a stable, well-draining foundation beneath the bedding sand
- Rakes — Leveling and spreading materials
- Rubber Mallet — Gently tapping pavers into place
