Patent ID: 7419327

Claim:
A method for covering a pre-specified area with vertically interlocking pavers, comprising: leveling said pre-specified area; providing components for a pre-specified array of said pavers, said components comprising: a first section having first sides parallel to a first plane containing a first bearing surface and a first thickness in a second plane orthogonal to said first plane, said first thickness of a dimension less than that of any of said first sides; and a second section having second sides parallel to both said first plane and a second plane containing a second bearing surface, said second plane parallel to said first plane, said second section contacting said first section uniformly along a part of said first plane, said second section oriented to said first section such that said second sides are contained entirely within the perimeter formed by said first sides; arranging four said components in said pre-specified array in a first plane parallel to said leveled area such that each said component is arranged in a plane to abut a first said component along a first axis in said plane and a second said component along a second axis in said plane, said second axis orthogonal to said first axis; arranging additional said pre-specified arrays abutting one to another to cover said pre-specified area in a first configuration of arrays; inverting a second configuration of said pre-specified arrays over said first configuration such that said second configuration interlocks vertically with said first configuration; and adding partial said components for forming finished edges of said interlocked configurations.
