What happens here
Workers are actively engaged in the precise installation of large format patio slabs around the entire perimeter of the swimming pool. The narrator specifically identifies these as 'Beacon Hill XL slabs,' which are a type of modular paver, likely from Techo-Bloc. These slabs form the primary pool deck, creating designated areas for traffic flow, sun loungers, and general relaxation. The video also highlights a built-in spa as an integrated feature of the pool design, with its surrounding edges also being finished with matching slabs. This step involves meticulous placement, leveling, and alignment of each slab to create a seamless, durable, and visually appealing surface that perfectly complements the pool.
Goal: Install the large format patio slabs around the pool and integrated spa.
Tools and materials
- Beacon Hill XL Slabs Techo-Bloc — The primary surfacing material for the pool deck and patio
- Knee Pads — Protecting workers' knees during prolonged kneeling on hard or uneven surfaces
- Rubber Mallet — Tapping slabs into place and ensuring proper seating without damaging their surface
- Spirit Level — Checking the level and desired pitch of the installed slabs for drainage
- Work Gloves — Protecting hands from abrasions, cuts, and material irritation while handling pavers
- Bedding Sand N/A — A thin, uniform layer of sand directly under the pavers for final leveling and setting
- Compacted Aggregate Base N/A — Providing a stable, load-bearing foundation for the pavers
