What happens here
Once the bedding sand is screeded, begin laying the pavers. Start from a fixed, straight edge, such as the existing pool coping or a carefully set string line. Place each paver gently onto the sand, avoiding disturbing the screeded surface. Follow a chosen pattern (e.g., running bond, herringbone, or basket weave, as seen in the video's rectangular pattern). Maintain consistent joint spacing between pavers. A rubber mallet can be used to gently tap pavers into their final position, ensuring they are snug and level with adjacent pavers.
Goal: Install pavers according to the chosen pattern and design
