The practical task and the checklist below are exactly what this lesson will teach. What is missing is the written explanation and the curated links, each one fetched and verified before it ships.
In the meantime the checklist is genuinely usable on its own. Take it outside.
Checklist
- Pattern set out so full pavers land in the most visible positions
- Laid to a string line with consistent joint width
- Edge restraint installed on every free edge
- Cutting done with the right blade and full respirator — silica dust is serious
- Joints filled and the surface compacted before use
