What happens here
With the base prepared, begin laying the main field pavers. These are the primary rectangular pavers that cover the larger, often straight or rectilinear, sections of the patio. As shown with the "other gentlemen" in the video, these pavers are carefully placed onto the leveled sand bed. Work from a designated starting point (often a corner or against the house) and in a consistent pattern, ensuring each paver is tightly set against its neighbors. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into place, making sure it is level and flush with adjacent pavers. Periodically check the overall level and alignment of the installed pavers.
Goal: Cover the primary patio areas with rectangular field pavers
