Bedding sand
Bedding sand is a thin, screeded layer of coarse sand that levels pavers during installation.
Bedding sand is a layer of coarse sand, usually about one inch, screeded level before pavers are set. It provides the final leveling surface and allows minor adjustment as each paver is placed. It is not a structural layer — the compacted stone sub-base beneath it carries the load.
