What happens here
Install an edge restraint system along the entire perimeter of the planned paver walkway and any adjacent landscape beds. These restraints, typically made of plastic, aluminum, or concrete, are spiked into the ground or adhered to the concrete, providing a crucial boundary to prevent the bedding material and pavers from shifting. Lay the "Mattoni" accent pavers as a distinct border around the "Unilock Bristol Valley" pavers, securing them firmly in place to create a polished, defined edge for the walkway.
Goal: Define the paver area and provide stability for the edges.
