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 and your screed. 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.
