Had A Fall Out With Tradesmen

It wont be a problem

I have a path made or 12" stepping stones in my lawn, the grass rapidly grows over them, I have to use a moon edging tool twice a year to cut it back

at the front of my house there is a council verge which I keep mown, the grass on that grows right across the kerb to the drop to the road -and the kerbs must be 100mm wide


a 45deg haunching would be weaker, maybe they couldve chamfered it a bit
 
Looks like they are doing a good job to be fair. Look on the bright side, they could have not bothered haunching at all and you would have a lovely lawn but with edging blocks that move.
 
The block paving drive edging to my front lawn has haunching at 45° . The lawn is generally OK until the very dry weather when it goes a bit yellow. It soon greens up again when it rains. I would doubt that you will not have some yellowing

Has Brexit had any impact?
 
I wouldn't go bolstering a newly set and laid edge but would use an angle grinder and diamond blade instead.
 
Appreciate all the replies, maybe I shouldn't have spat the dummy so early.
So all said and done, after I done some googling for alternative ways to ensure the blocks would not move leaving out the haunching, and there is industrial strength glue, for sticking down the blocks anyone heard of, or seen this method being used? then no worries about grass failing.

Hopefully the broken shovel wasn't in one piece before you fell out!
