Soldier course spaces

What do you guy's think is the maximum spacing for a soldier course radius? 1/8" 1/4" 3/8" 1/2"????

Paver jobs. I'm not worried about spacing with flagstone.

You mean the space between the further apart ends of each paver in a soldier course?

For us 1/2" is the max. We don't have a formal guideline, but I was considering doing so.

We've also cut projects where every paver in the soldier course is cut snug against the next piece, but I don't think that is the expectation of the client; to that point, I don't ever recall having had a complaint about soldier course spacing.

I agree with everyone, but I stay between 1/8"-1/2" The tighter the better, but sometimes a cut is not warranted in mye eye's.
