What happens here
A new walkway foundation is shown, already prepared with a layer of geotextile fabric (weed barrier) and a compacted base layer of gravel or crushed stone. A level is visible on the foundation, indicating that the base is being checked for proper grading and compaction. This meticulous preparation is crucial for the longevity and stability of any paver installation.
Goal: Create a stable and properly graded base for the walkway.
Tools and materials
- Level — Checking the grade and ensuring the base is flat and properly sloped
- Plate Compactor — Compacting the gravel base for stability
- Geotextile Fabric — Weed suppression and base stabilization
- Gravel or Crushed Stone — Creating a compacted, permeable foundation
