Grass growing up against patio when concrete edging.

What happens here

Using an Apple Pencil on an iPad, draw a cross-section representing the paver patio structure. This includes outlining the paver itself and then sketching the stone base (also known as the bedding course) that supports the paver. The importance of 'overbasing' the stone foundation is mentioned, implying extending it beyond the paver's edge for stability.

Goal: Visually represent the paver and its underlying stone base.
