Spread Masonry Sand Leveling Layer

got from a local home depot for the next layer you'll need to lay down one inch of masonry sand the sand acts both as a seat but also tool to level each stone as they're stacked one by one now you don't need to create this area to be super straight and flat so in this situation if you use a rake to kind of even out the areas to prevent it from having kind of high spots make sure you don't tamp this section down because you need it to be fluffed in order to actually see the bricks themselves alright so this is where it all comes
