After the mosaic sub- bed of broken concrete and mud are set and the rest of the excavation is back-filled with screened soil, I will add a base of crushed stone, here called 'screenings'. The top of that grade will be for laying brick pavers on level with the sidewalk and curb. I will make sure this grade is as flat and compacted as I can make it.
After I accomplish this I can lay the brick and do the final fill of screened soil in preparation for planting the Jasmine. It was our decision to plant this wild area with Jasmine that created the need for all this work in the first place.
