How
to anchor loose bricks using stones instead of concrete - like by edge of driveway

Plastic edge restraint is the way to
go.Concrete will crack over time and the edge of your walk or patio will
begin to pull apart.I've had many instances where I had to get topsoil,
for example, to a planting bed and I had to cross a paver walk we just built. I
have driven my Bobcat over a just-compacted walk, (with a plastic edge
restraint), and I have done it without moving a single paver. Also, a lot of contractors seem to think that
installing a "wet edge" soldier course is somehow quicker and better,
(it is neither, in my opinion), then, they install the field pavers over a
standard gravel/sand base. Usually, after a season or so, each and every one of
these installations has the field settling more than the edges and the edges
eventually crack.
