Seat Pavers with Mallet

What happens here

With the wooden board firmly positioned against the pavers, take a rubber mallet. Apply controlled, firm taps along the length of the wooden board. The force from the mallet will be transferred through the board to the pavers, gently nudging them forward and downward into the prepared paver base (e.g., sand or gravel). This action helps to settle the pavers snugly into their final position against the wall or to maintain a precise expansion gap, without the risk of directly damaging the paver edges or the wall itself.

Goal: Securely seat the pavers against the wall while maintaining consistent spacing and preventing damage.
