Step 1

Install benderboard edging first, then put down landscape fabric (available at nurseries) to prevent weeds. Secure fabric edges under the benderboard edging.

Step 2

Pour a 2-inch-thick layer of sand over the landscape fabric, raking it smooth. (In rainy areas, put down a 2-inch gravel layer first.)

As you rake, moisten the sand with a fine spray from the hose.

Step 4

Firm the sand. Using a drum roller or a hand tamper, pass over the moist sand several times to pack it down.
