Digging the trench is a very important step. It prevents the grass from growing under the pavers. And it also gives you a nice solid support to build the retaining walls of the garden.
The garden should be as level as possible to keep the structure secure and stable. To begin the leveling process, pour some paver sand into the trench and them pound flat with the tamper.
Place the pavers in the trench one by one. Check to see how level each stone paver is and then add or remove sand as needed.
