What happens here
Following the site preparation, retaining walls are constructed to define the patio's edges and manage elevation changes. In this project, Techo-Blocs, a specific brand of retaining wall blocks, are used to create curved walls that support the raised patio areas. After the retaining walls are built to the desired height and curves, the base for the main patio area, specifically designed for various paver types, is further refined with a layer of screeded paver sand.
Goal: Build retaining walls and establish the final bedding layer for the main patio.
Tools and materials
- Level — Checking the level and slope of the paver bedding and installed pavers
- Rubber Mallet — Tapping pavers and blocks into place to ensure a level surface
- Screed Board — Leveling the paver sand to a uniform thickness
- Shovel — Spreading paver sand
- String Line — Establishing straight lines and consistent elevation for laying pavers
- Paver Sand — Creating the final bedding layer for the pavers
- Retaining Wall Blocks — Constructing the retaining walls
