Position Protective Board

What happens here

Begin by laying out the pavers in the desired pattern next to the retaining wall, leaving a small, consistent gap. Select a sturdy, straight wooden board, such as a 2x4, that is long enough to span several pavers comfortably. Position this board flat against the side of the pavers, parallel to the curved wall, acting as a protective barrier and a surface for applying even pressure. This setup ensures that when force is applied, it's distributed across multiple pavers and protects the wall.

Goal: Create a protective buffer between the pavers and the wall to facilitate even paver seating.
