What happens here
To introduce a turn or an extension, begin laying pavers perpendicularly to the main straight section. This typically involves placing the first paver of the new section directly against the side of a paver from the main line, forming a clean 90-degree angle. This transition piece is critical for establishing the new direction. Continue laying subsequent pavers in line with this new perpendicular path, tapping each one with the rubber mallet to ensure proper seating and level. This method often naturally leads to a herringbone pattern if the pavers are rectangular.
Goal: Form a perpendicular section or turn in the walkway
Tools and materials
- Pavers — Forming the perpendicular sections and patterns
- Rubber Mallet — Adjusting and seating pavers in the turn
- Gravel Base Unspecified — Supporting the pavers in the newly formed sections
