I finally stopped leveling paver sand with a straight board

For like 3 years I used a 2x4 to screed my paver base and always fought with dips and bumps. Then last month I tried a cheap 10-foot aluminum screed pipe with a slight crown in it, and the sand came out perfectly flat on the first pass. The straight board was actually digging in and creating low spots because my hands weren't perfectly even. A pipe lets the sand flow over the edge instead of catching. I redid a 12x10 patio in about 2 hours less than my old method. Has anyone else switched to a pipe and seen a big difference? What do you use for your screed?"}

My buddy switched to a pipe last summer and never looked back.
