Examine Incorrect Paver Coping on Steps

What happens here

Begin by observing the paver steps where standard pavers are being used as coping pieces. Notice how these pavers are laid on their side, exposing their sharp, unfinished edges as the step risers and edges. The flat, top surface of the pavers forms the treads, but the vertical elements are created by the sides of other pavers. This method results in a visually 'choppy' appearance and lacks the smooth, finished edge typically desired for coping.

Goal: Observe and understand the issues with using standard pavers as coping on steps.
