What happens here
The video begins with the workers preparing the sub-base, which appears to be compacted crushed stone or gravel. They use metal screed rails or pipes placed across the prepared base. Sand or a fine gravel bedding layer is then spread over the base and leveled using a screed board, pulled along the rails to create a smooth, even surface with the correct slope for drainage. They also appear to be marking out the patio area with string lines.
Goal: Create a level and properly sloped bedding surface for pavers
