What happens here
Begin by gathering the necessary materials and tools. The video shows bags of 'Perm Edge' brand paver edge restraint material, which is a specialized dry mix likely containing cement, sand, and additives designed for this purpose. Open the bags and pour the contents into a wheelbarrow. Add water according to the product's instructions (though not explicitly shown, it's implied by the mixed consistency) and use a shovel to thoroughly mix the material until it reaches a consistent, workable concrete-like consistency. It should be firm enough to hold its shape but wet enough to be easily spread and shaped.
Goal: Mix the dry paver edge restraint material to a workable consistency.
