What happens here

For the walkway, workers lay down screed rails, similar to the patio, and spread a layer of granite chips. These granite chips are then carefully screeded using a long, straight bar to achieve a perfectly level and consistent depth. This provides a stable and permeable setting bed for the walkway pavers.

Goal: Create a level and permeable setting bed for the walkway pavers.

Tools and materials

  • Granite Chips — Creating the permeable setting bed for pavers
  • Screed Bar — Leveling the granite chips between the screed rails
  • Screed Rails — Guiding the screed bar to achieve a uniform base depth
  • Shovels — Spreading granite chips

What they say

[Music] so this blue material you see going down is granite chips typically we'll use screed sand and we go to a depth of 3/4 in now just in this case because we're using Granite chips doesn't mean we're changing the depth it's still 3/4 in in fact our screed bars are the exact same identical Street bars that we use when we're putting sand down the benefit of using Granite chips like this is it locks in place and still allows the water to pass
