Hello everyone,
I have a question. I would like to pave a corner in our garden.
I want to border this area with edge stones. The problem is that our property is on a slope, so the area doesn’t have right angles. I’ve attached a simple sketch. The red area is the part to be paved. If I try to make all sides perfectly square, there’s a lot of extra space at the edges, which looks a bit odd.
What would be the best way to pave this area so that it looks good in the end?
I’ve thought of two options:
1) Create right angles at the front left and right sides and then pave within those (see screenshot: possible_option1.png)
2) Place the edge stones following the slope of the property without forcing right angles and then pave the entire area
How would you approach this?
Thanks and best regards,
Spike

Should I start here from the inside to the outside, or do I just begin normally from one side? I would rather say that "normally" means working from the inside to the outside.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Starting just in the middle of an edge is not a good idea.

My plan is as follows: to lay the edging stones along my area (Option 2). Then start laying pavers at the front left edge. Is that okay?
