Patent ID: 8266844

Claim:
A method for installing pavers in a region to be paved on a substrate, comprising the acts of: defining a boundary of the region to be paved on the substrate; placing an edging on the substrate along a portion of the boundary, such that a first portion of the edging substantially conforms with the boundary portion and a second portion of the edging does not conform with the boundary portion, and such that the paver-facing surface faces the region to be paved and the first wall edges are in contact with the substrate, the edging comprising: an elongated strip extending in a longitudinal direction comprising a paver-facing surface and an opposed surface, and a first and a second opposed edge; at least two extensions extending from the opposed surface of the elongated strip, each comprising a first and a second opposed wall edge, and a bore, the first opposed wall edge being coplanar with the first opposed edge, the first opposed edge and the first wall edge defining a base plane; and at least one strap member extending between the at least two extensions, wherein the at least one strap member is offset from the base plane; fixing the first portion of the edging to the substrate using a fastener positioned in at least one bore of an extension at the first portion of the edging, and in the substrate; cutting the strap extending between an extension comprising a bore containing a fastener and a neighbouring extension comprising a bore not containing a fastener using a cutting tool, a portion of the cutting tool being inserted between the substrate and the strap; deforming the second portion of the edging to conform with a further boundary portion; and fixing the second portion of the edging to the substrate using a fastener positioned in at least one bore of an extension at the second portion of the edging, and in the substrate.
