What happens here

Once the guide rails are in place and the granular bedding material is loosely spread, take 'The Pavetool Mastergrader 5000'. Position the flat screed bar of the tool so that it rests squarely on top of the parallel guide rails. With a steady grip on the long handle, begin to pull the Mastergrader across the granular base material in a sweeping, back-and-forth motion, gradually moving from one end of the section to the other. As the tool is pulled, the screed bar will shave off any excess material above the rails and push it forward, leaving a perfectly level and consistent surface at the height defined by the rails. Continue this process, ensuring thorough coverage, until the entire area between the rails is uniformly leveled and smooth.

Goal: Achieve a consistently level and smooth granular base using the screeding tool
