I am planning to build a curved garden path down one side of the garden, and then use the same pavers to build a decorative lawn edging around the rest of the lawn.

Basically every edge will be curved - so I'm not making my first ever job easy for myself.

The path will have a soldier course of 134 mm x 100mm laid side by side for edging, and I was then planning to use running bond inside the path, using either 134mm x 134mm blocks, or 134 x 200 blocks.

For the path the tightest inside radius is 4.5m. Will I be able to get away with 134 x 200mm blocks without cutting? Or should I use smaller ones.

On the lawn edging the tightest radius is much smaller, at 2.5m. Will 100 x 134 blocks be OK there and how should I point them, if at all?

Many thanks for any help.
Mike
