What happens here

After placing the first course of blocks, address any gaps between the blocks and the house foundation. Apply Loctite Tite Foam or a similar expanding spray foam into these gaps to create a barrier. This prevents sand and other base materials from washing out, and also deters pests like rodents and bugs from burrowing underneath the patio. Once the foam cures, any excess can be trimmed with a razor blade.

Goal: Prevent material washout and pest intrusion
