Hi all
In the process of laying a new patio, using block paving as edgers then filling between with concrete, is there any way of avoiding concrete stains on the blocks?

I had contemplated laying the concrete first then the blocks around the edges but I will be using dyed cement to point the blocks so again there is a chance of staining the new concrete.

I've not seen the other thread yet, but would advise semi dry concrete carefully put in joints. Then go over any stains with brick acid to remove them.
