What happens here
Around the outer edges of the landscaped areas, paver borders are installed to create clean lines and separation between planting beds and grass or other surfaces. The narrator points out these 'paver borders' with 'fresh curves looking sexy', indicating attention to detail and aesthetic appeal. This involves digging a shallow trench, laying down a base of compacted gravel and sand, and then setting the paver stones along the desired curves. The borders help to retain mulch or soil in the beds and give a finished look to the landscape.
Goal: Create defined, aesthetically pleasing edges for landscaping beds using paver borders.
