Prepare and Screed Paver Base

What happens here

Prepare the sub-base for paver installation by spreading and leveling a layer of gravel. This gravel layer ensures proper drainage and a stable foundation for the pavers. Use a screed board (a long, straight piece of lumber) to precisely level the gravel. For curved sections, use a string line attached to a central pivot point to guide the placement of the screed board, creating perfectly curved and even surfaces. Ensure the base is compacted and smooth before laying any pavers.

Goal: Create a level and stable sub-base for the pavers
