I want to lay an edging course of block pavers as a border to some sandstone slabs. Done plenty of slabbing before but never done any block paving. Any chance of a quick sanity check?
My plan is:
Tamp down the soil a bit/scrape any loose off
Lay the edging course on a sharp sand cement semi dry mix at least 3” thick onto soil (no hardcore)
Haunch it with a wetter mix of the same mix (or should I be using concrete?)
Once the border has set, put the hardcore down for the paving and lay the slabs on a screed mix as usual
Cheers for any words of wisdom!
