Hi all.

I am getting around to finishing my back yard and decided to put a path along the raised flower bed. Was going well until I hit the curved bit. I want to keep the path the same width (575mm) as the straight but but am struggling with how best to do it. I have read the website but still a but stuck. The curve is to tight to do without cutting I think as joints would be to big at one end.

As you can see from the pics I tried to mitre the corner and carry it around but it's not really working. Am I best taking the mitre out and going straight into the corner then tackling the curve? Any advice on working out angles or best way to tackle much appreciated.

Regards jon

I would continue the laying pattern and scribe the flags into the wall
once its laid leave a day or two then mark your curve carefully and then cut off in situ
I did this very detail last week
lemme see if i have a photo
here you go
I hope this makes sense
