        "text": "The installation process for a natural stone patio typically begins with site preparation, including excavation, grading, and ensuring proper drainage. Next, a stable base layer, usually compacted gravel, is laid, followed by a bedding layer of sand or stone dust. Individual stone pieces are then carefully placed and leveled, ensuring proper spacing and alignment. Depending on the method, joints are then filled with sand (for dry-laid) or mortar (for wet-laid). Finally, the patio is cleaned, and a sealer may be applied to protect the stone.",
