How to Build Paver Steps into a Hill · Step 2 of 11
In this video
Install paver edge restraints, often called 'lockers,' along the perimeter of the area you plan to pave. These restraints are crucial for holding the pavers firmly in place and preventing them from shifting over time. Position the edge restraints snugly against the compacted base and secure them by driving landscape pins through the designated holes in the restraints into the ground. A hammer or rubber mallet can be used for this. The video also shows a helper using a paver as a 'jig' to ensure a tight fit against the concrete, further enhancing stability. Proper installation of these restraints can eliminate the need for concrete on the edges, which is typically used for less stable installations.
