What happens here
Begin by laying two parallel metal pipes on the prepared gravel base. These pipes will serve as screed guides. Use a spirit level to ensure that the pipes are perfectly level and at the desired height for the paver bedding layer. Once the pipes are in place, use a straight edge, such as a screed board or a long, flat concrete block, to drag across the pipes, leveling the gravel between them. This action creates a uniform and compacted bedding layer, which is crucial for a stable and even paver surface.
Goal: Create a level and uniform gravel bedding layer
