The problem

Outdoor paving fails at the edges and the transitions — where the path meets the lawn, or where a patio runs into a step — and that is where it looks worst and trips people.

What Gary did

Gary details the edges and the transitions properly, running pebble margins where a path meets planting so there is no ragged line, and keeping falls right so water leaves the surface instead of sitting on it.

The result

Paving that holds its line at the edges, with the transitions between materials detailed rather than butted together.
