What happens here
The first step, though not explicitly shown in detail, involves preparing the base for the paver coping. This typically means excavating the area to the desired depth, laying down a compacted gravel base (which is visible in the video), and ensuring it's level and stable. The video opens with the base already prepared, showing exposed gravel with some existing wiring for lighting, and a few paver pieces already in place to form part of the border.
Goal: Create a stable and level foundation for the paver coping
Tools and materials
- Level — Ensuring the base and subsequent paver pieces are level
- Plate Compactor — Compacting the gravel base
- Shovel — Excavating the area
- Wheelbarrow — Moving excavated material and gravel
- Gravel — Creating a stable and well-draining base for the coping
