I have had problems with plastic edging, and I'm sure it's due to me overlooking some detail when installing it.

After about 6 months to a year my sailor course gets a 1/4" gap between the field pavers. I install an extra 8-12" of process at the outside of the patio but this problem is baffling me.

The jobs this happened on did not have a woven-geotextile below them. I do scrape all sand before installing the edging. I know part of the problem is that I cut the pavers crooked with the chop saw so it is physically impossible for them to 'touch'.

I also have problems with Z-master lawn mowers bumping the 1/2" the pavers are proud to the lawn and loosening them.

Do any here have similar problems?
