How To Build A Small Brick Patio DIY step 6 Troweling Sand #tips #diy
Leveling the sand base is the most important part of building a small DIY brick patio. If the sand base is done right, laying the pavers is super easy.
The key to leveling the base are the poles, your screed, and a masons trowel. Set the poles one at a time and measure down from your string line to make sure they're level and pitched properly.
Once the poles are set, use a long screed to level the sand. I'm using a 2x4, but a metal screed works better if you have one.
Use a trowel to remove excess sand from the edges and to smooth the surface of the sand.
Once the sand base is level, run a string line to help guide you as you lay pavers. Then start installing.

What you’re using is called a concrete finishing trowel. A mason’s trowel has a much smaller, Diamond/triangular shaped blade.
Excellent information!
That is some nice work
That’s not a Mason’s trowel!! That’s called a finishing concrete trowel
why do you not show the sand being tamped first?
Steel trowel FYI
Pool finishing trowel*
get some kneepads!
