The Dwight Derby House patio is complete and the final product looks fantastic. Below the video are pictures of the last phase of the project. You can check out [part one](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/blog/bid/41737/Landscape-Field-Videos-How-to-Build-a-Patio) and [part two](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/blog/bid/42344/Landscape-Field-Videos-How-to-Build-a-Patio-Part-Two) in the series also.     ![imag0324-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0324-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0324-resized-600.jpg) Marking the pavers to be cut. ![imag0327-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0327-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0327-resized-600.jpg)  Using this MK saw with a diamond blade makes cutting stone simple and accurate. ![imag0320-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0320-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0320-resized-600.jpg)  Overlaying the arch on the patio allows us to trace the correct curve. ![imag0328-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/imag0328-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0328-resized-600.jpg) With the curve traced we can now make the finish cuts. ![imag0330-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0330-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0330-resized-600.jpg) Once cut, the patio is ready for compaction and then joint sand. ![imag0335-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0335-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0335-resized-600.jpg) After compacting and adding more joint sand, we sweep off the excess sand, compact one more time and then wet the patio to harden the joint sand. ![imag0336-resized-600](https://www.thegardencontinuum.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imag0336-resized-600.jpg?width=800&name=imag0336-resized-600.jpg) Once the patio dries, it's complete!
