What happens here
Once the bedding layer is prepared and screed rails are removed, the perimeter of the patio is secured with edge restraints. These are typically flexible plastic strips or rigid concrete units that are installed along the outer edges of the patio, often held in place with long spikes driven into the ground through pre-drilled holes in the restraint. This crucial step prevents the pavers from shifting, spreading outwards, or becoming loose over time.
Goal: Secure the perimeter of the patio to prevent paver movement
