Bedding Layer

A bedding layer is a layer of material, typically sand, that is spread and leveled before laying pavers, bricks, or stones in hardscaping projects. This layer provides a stable, even base that helps to distribute the load and prevent shifting or settling of the pavers over time. The bedding layer is crucial for achieving a smooth, level surface and ensuring the long-term durability of the installation. Proper compaction and grading of the bedding layer are essential to avoid issues like uneven surfaces, water pooling, or paver movement. This technique is commonly used in the construction of patios, walkways, and driveways.
