What happens here
After the main field pavers are laid and cut to fit, the walkway's edges are secured and enhanced. This involves installing edge restraints, often in the form of smaller paver blocks or a specialized plastic edging system, along the perimeter of the walkway. These edges prevent the field pavers from shifting or spreading over time. Any gaps along the sides of the path are then filled with additional gravel or topsoil, depending on the surrounding landscape. Workers are seen completing these finishing touches, ensuring the entire walkway is stable and neat.
Goal: Secure the paver path and give it a finished look
