What happens here
Carefully place the first course of rectangular concrete pavers along one side of the freshly screeded gravel base. Ensure each paver is aligned straight and pressed gently into the gravel. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each paver into place, seating it firmly in the gravel bedding. This ensures proper contact and helps prevent future shifting. These pavers will establish one of the edges or a foundational line for the main walkway.
Goal: Establish a straight and stable edge for the walkway
