Claim:
An adjustable paving stone screed for use in a rectangular area bounded by a course of paving stones comprising: an elongated board rectangular in crossection having a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces, the height of said board being the distance between said top and bottom surfaces; a first right angle bracket mounted on said top surface at each end of said board, each bracket having a bottom leg attached to said top surface of said board and an upright leg aligned with an end of said board; a second right angle bracket at each end of said board having an upright leg engaged with the upright leg of said first right angle bracket and a bottom leg having a bottom surface, said second right angle bracket being positioned so that said bottom surface of the bottom leg is flush with a top surface of said paving stones; and, said second right angle bracket being adjustable vertically with respect to said first right angle bracket so that the bottom surface of said board is even with bottom surfaces of said paving stones, whereby sliding movement of said board in said area with each bottom leg of said second right angle bracket riding along top surfaces of said paving stones establishes a flat plane of bedding material bed at a depth equal to that of said course of paving stones in said area to support paving stones to fill said area.
