What happens here
Dig a shallow channel, about 3 inches deep, along the outer edge of the paver patio. Install a flexible plastic edge restraint into this channel, positioning it against the paver edges. Secure the edge restraint by driving metal stakes through its tabs and into the ground using a hammer. These stakes should be hammered deep enough to hold the restraint firmly in place. This restraint prevents the pavers from shifting or separating.
Goal: Secure the patio perimeter and prevent paver movement.
