paver borders longer than Monday
What happens here
Once the paver board is securely in place, the final step involves backfilling the area around it with gravel. A worker (identified as 'Pete') uses a wheelbarrow to transport gravel from the staging area to the newly installed paver board. The gravel is then carefully distributed using a shovel to fill in the space on the gravel side of the paver board. This backfilling process serves two main purposes: it anchors the paver board firmly in the ground, preventing movement, and creates a neat, finished appearance for the gravel path or area, effectively defining the new landscape border.
Goal: Secure the paver board and create a finished gravel edge.
