“How do you grow grass on the concrete?”
What happens here
To complete the diagram, the presenter draws green scribbles to represent soil being backfilled against the tapered concrete edge restraint. They emphasize the critical requirement for the soil to be "very pulverized" – meaning fine and loose, without clumps, to facilitate proper grass growth. The illustration shows the soil rising up to the top of the concrete restraint, creating sufficient depth and optimal conditions for a "good root system for the grass" to grow directly alongside the paver patio.
Goal: Visually explain the correct method for backfilling with soil to support grass growth.
