Install Two-Course Curved Paver Border
At 0:00 in
I have to say I am loving the browns in this cappucino blend by Nicolock!!
What happens here
The worker begins by carefully placing the first course of rounded, dark gray paver blocks along a pre-defined curved edge, adjacent to lighter rectangular patio pavers. Each paver block is set into a granular base and then tapped firmly into position using a rubber mallet to ensure it is level and tightly abutted against its neighbors. The worker then proceeds to install the second course of these same paver blocks directly on top of the first. These paver blocks are deliberately staggered to overlap the seams of the first layer, which enhances the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the border. Similar to the first course, each paver block in the second layer is tapped with the rubber mallet to secure its position and achieve a consistent height and alignment, creating a stable, raised edge for the patio.
Goal: To build a stable and visually appealing two-layer curved border around the patio area.
Tools and materials
- Granular Base Material — Providing a stable and level foundation for the pavers, often crushed stone or sand
- Patio Pavers — The main paving material that the border abuts, forming the patio floor
- Paver Blocks — Constructing the border, typically concrete or natural stone
- Rubber Mallet — Gently tapping paver blocks into place, ensuring they are level and snug
- Landscape Adhesive — Bonding paver courses for added stability and to prevent shifting
