I am having problems with doing a stretcher bond path around a tight bend. I am laying the standard size clay pavers length wise along my garden bed in front of the house. this is a gentle bend and is no problem. The problem arises when I get to the steps to my front door, the path has a 90degree curve.
can anyone give me any tips or suggestions please.

Without seeing the site, it's impossible to suggest what would work best (I wish I had a quid for every time I write/say that each day!). Can you get a photie?
