 The crew lays bedding sand and is now ready for the pavers

 We used a 90 degree herringbone pattern for the patio

 Standing on plywood keeps the crew from shifting the patten and the pavers before compaction

 Once you get a hang of the pattern, the laying process really speeds up

Snapping a chaulk line in the sand helps to keep our pattern on course

Great instructional video. I like the way you take care of drainage while installing the patio. it really saves time and money in the long run.

Having discovered your blog when you applied to have it listed on Blotanical, I finally got a chance to dip into it this week; and I am so impressed by the quality of information that you provide. I've been especially enjoying the landscape field videos. I do a "Garden Blog of the Month" feature on my blog, Jean's Garden, where I review blogs that I think my readers might enjoy. Your blog is one of two that I am highlighting this month. My post about the blogs just went up, and your blog will be featured on my sidebar throughout the month. -Jean
