Step 3 · Re-level and Set Pavers

Once the base material is compacted and level, carefully place the paver step units back into position. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the pavers into place, ensuring they are flush with each other and the surrounding pavers. Use your level frequently to check that each paver, and the step as a whole, is level. Adjust the base material underneath as needed by adding or removing small amounts to achieve the correct height and slope. Ensure the edges of the step are properly aligned and that there are no significant gaps between pavers.
