I have read a lot in this forum in the last couple of days, so much information that my brain is going crazy, I don't have a degree nor even finished college but I like this work so much, I love doing hardscape, I have being doing this for the last 9 years, after a month that I arrive from mexico, without even speaking the leanguage. My former boss retired three years ago and bought the business from him, wasn't a real big business tough, when I started working for him he's son was on the boat, and he was in the landscape department, that's who I learned the hardscape part from, then he moved to another state and we only did lawn maintenance, with some small landscaping projects here and there, but since I took over the company I've come to realize that I don't like mowing lawns anymore, I hired couple of guys and they're doing most of the mowing now, I mainly focus on softscape and hardscape, during the winter months I attend to some classes in college, (not last winter tought, due to the high amount of snow) this year has being real good for me, before I use to spend couple of days a week doing landscaping, now is mostly every day unless it rains and my guys are getting behind with the mowing, I have done about 8 walks so far this year and lot's of retaining walls, and installs I know 8 walkways are such a tiny number compared to some of you guys, but for me is a lot, most of the technics I use I learned from my former boss son's, but after all this time reading books and this and other forums I've come to realize that there's so much more than digging, prepare the base, and lay the pavers, reading trought all the specifications you guys have I cans understand better as to why the things are done certain ways, but I still not confident to take on bigger jobs, I have sub couple of them because I know I don't have the knowledge yet and it bothers me being that I like this job so much, I'll do wherever I need to become a Jeff, paul, Rex, Lannelle, BRL and other words a true profesional.

Sorry for the long post but I just want you guys to have an idea of why you'll be reading so dumb questions on my part.

Here is one.

What's the best method you guys have found is the fastest, easier or both to screed.

This is the way I've being doing it for the past couple years.

After I have my base then I put 1" pipes and screed my stone dust (I know I'll get yell at for this but around here the quality of the sand is just awful) then lay the paver and finally put the edging, this is where my real question begins, Do you guys use the paver restrain edging to screed?
