What is paver sand?

Paver sand is coarse, washed sand for the screed layer under brick or stone pavers. It levels easily, drains well and does not compress over time, so pavers stay flat. Paver base sand, leveling sand, bedding sand and screed sand are other names for it.

What is the difference between paver sand and paver base?

Paver sand is the thin screed layer that pavers sit on, while paver base is the compacted stone layer underneath it. For patios and walkways, lay 3 to 4 inches of compacted road base, then screed the paver sand on top. For a harder setting bed, stone dust packs harder than sand.
