What happens here
To achieve the refined look shown in the video, install Unilock Universal Coping pieces onto the top surface of each step tread and along the top edge of the raised planter wall. These coping units provide a smooth, finished edge and can offer a slight overhang for visual appeal. Secure the coping with a strong landscape adhesive. Additionally, as highlighted in the video, install accent pavers at the thresholds of both back doors. These pavers, distinct from the main patio pavers but matching the accent border, create a clear and aesthetically pleasing transition from the door to the landing.
Goal: Apply finishing coping to steps and planter, and install accent pavers at door landings.
