        "text": "Dry-laid stone patios are installed over a compacted gravel and sand base, with sand or polymeric sand filling the joints. This method allows for flexibility, drainage, and easier repair, making it popular for permeable surfaces. Wet-laid patios, conversely, use a concrete base and mortar in the joints, creating a rigid, permanent structure. Wet-laid offers greater stability and a more formal appearance but can be more prone to cracking with ground movement. The choice depends on desired aesthetics, drainage needs, and site conditions.",
