Installing Pavers For A FRONT Yard Makeover!

What happens here

Prepare a concrete mix suitable for edge restraints. This can be done in a wheelbarrow using a shovel or with a small portable concrete mixer. Carefully place the concrete along the outer edges of the installed pavers and around any feature squares. Use a trowel or small shovel to shape the concrete, ensuring it firmly holds the outer row of pavers in place. The concrete should be tamped down and angled slightly inward towards the pavers for maximum stability. This is crucial for maintaining the shape and preventing lateral movement of the permeable paver system.

Goal: This step involves mixing concrete and installing it along the perimeter of the paver areas to create stable and durable edge restraints that prevent the pavers from shifting over time.
