How to build paver walkway through garden bed?

Hello

I need help with a small walkway using some assorted pavers. It leads off from a concrete pathway into a garden bed that is a bit lower than the concrete. It is sloping  and I don't know how to frame the pavers.

I'm thinking timber edging but need some specifics.

Here are the pavers laid out in a rough pattern. The reddish ones have been painted to match the gunmetal ones.

I think the

vertical arm of the L shape should be one set of pavers shorter than shown, making  both "arms" the same length.

Hello @WendiV 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your walkway.

 

I suggest having a good look at this guide - How To Pave A Pathway. This will show you what you'll need to do to arrange your pavers in an organized manner. You have a choice of using 100 x 16mm 4.8m Edging H4 Treated Pine Wet or Icon Plastics 75mm x 10m Jarrah Garden Edge. Either product will work for your pavers.

 

The general sequence will be to install the garden edging and then the crushed rock is placed and compacted into a level base. You then place the sand and cement mix on the surface and level it as you install the pavers.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
