Simple - sort of, just 70m2 of blocks with around 20 flags inset. Right on that I was too concerned about a substancial edge restraint -it was overkill and I wouldn't have posted if I had felt comfortable about it.
LLL had the right attitude and came up with a positive suggestion.
I have gone from what LLL suggested to something very similar and simple, satisfied that it will do the job.
Unfortunately I didn't see the path edging in any of the edge restraints looking through this web sites block paving edge detailing and I did miss what is now obvious to deal with the edge of the area.
So mission accomplished.
For pickwell paving - Yes a standard detail would be best where the edge is conventional as most block paving. The block in question is fairly big at 300 x 200. Rightly or wrongly I think a visible border would look to fussy in the design and I adapted a standard detail to suit the circumstances and pleased that at least one person here saw what I was trying to do and put me right.
