Spread a uniform layer of bedding sand (often concrete sand or screed sand) over the compacted granular base. This layer should be approximately 1 inch thick and serves as a cushion for the pavers, allowing for slight adjustments and proper seating. Use a screed board and guide rails (e.g., PVC pipes or metal conduits) to ensure the sand is perfectly level and at the correct height, maintaining the proper slope for drainage.
