TL;DR
Screeded bedding is the thin, uniform layer of coarse concrete sand, struck off with a straightedge over rails to about one inch deep, on which concrete pavers are laid. The layer must remain loose and untouched after screeding, since footprints or raking create soft spots that later show as dips in the finished surface.
What it means
Screeded bedding is the thin, uniform layer of coarse concrete sand, struck off with a straightedge over rails to about one inch deep, on which concrete pavers are laid. The layer must remain loose and untouched after screeding, since footprints or raking create soft spots that later show as dips in the finished surface. ICPI guidelines cap it near 1 inch because thicker sand consolidates unevenly under traffic.
