What happens here
With the retaining walls in place, begin laying the paver walkway and patio area. This involves preparing a compacted gravel base, laying down a layer of sand, and then carefully placing each paver stone. For curved sections, use a saw to cut pavers to fit the desired radius. This step requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a smooth, even, and aesthetically pleasing surface. Polymeric sand is spread and compacted between the pavers to lock them in place. The construction crew works together to lay the pavers and cut them as needed.
Goal: Create a durable and attractive paver walkway and patio connecting to the house entrance.
