Best way to lay clay paver edging?

[machtucker]

Hi,

I’m mulling over the best way of laying clay paver edging at the perimeter of my garden (by the fence). I will be laying decorative gravel with a stabilisation grid and want the edging to restrain the gravel. Can I lay the edging on concrete which is laid directly on top of the soil or do I need to lay the concrete on a sub base? 

Basically deciding between option 1 or 2 below. Any recommendations/advice?

 

cheers,

Option 1.  Dig a trench down to firm ground about 300mm wide.  Compact the base.  Layer in some type 1 and compact, then concrete under and haunched to paver as you have shown.

Thanks, yes that’s what I thought. That’s what did when laying the edging sections for the patio area but saw something recently which seemed to suggest you can lay concrete on the sub soil.  It won’t take long to dig a shallow trench so I’ll do that. 👍
