Detail in edge coarse - Block paving detail

[digerjones]

hi all,
block paving a drive at mo and i was wondering if anyone had any photo or sugestions of detail. on the charcoal soldier coarse i have a tight radius around a step then along the house wall just wondered if there was a detail i could use where the radius meets the right angle. i hope i have explained it correctly.
cheers diggerjones

thanks luton, yes i realize i will have to double cut the blocks coming around the curve, its where this curve hits the wall and the edge course carries on along the wall where these 2 meet i was just wondering if there was any neat tips or any other method. thanks anyway

you can either cut the blocks so they are a taper on both sides to form the radius or cut them in half and form the radius with 2 single rows

you will still have to double cut the half blocks on a tight radius otherwise you will see a wide gap going to nothing which would be filled with sand

I personally only have a single row of a contrasting border colour as I find having soldiers makes the driveway look too dark with a 200mm charcoal border

a few examples below
