Hi,

I'm looking to lay a narrow edging border, between my grass & soil. The paviors I will be using are 160 x 120 x 50mm - I will be laying them so the border is 160mm deep.

Would the best way of doing this be on a dry sand & cement mix? How deep should the mix be? Would reinforcing it with 'borderguard' be over the top?

It wont get much traffic going over it, apart from ym young daughter & the lawn mower.

Make the mix damp. Too wet and the blocks will float, too dry and it will be weak.

Thanks Carberry.

I followed your, useful, link through to this one Mowing Strips which is exactly what I'm after.

Thanks for your guidance & help
